The Cisco expansion module, part number CAT-3KX-10G-NM-SR, is a highly reliable and advanced module designed to enhance the connectivity features of Cisco Catalyst switches. This expansion module provides two 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for increased bandwidth and improved overall performance in network operations. Its compatibility with select models of Cisco Catalyst 3000 series switches makes it an ideal choice for network professionals looking to extend the capacity of their current hardware infrastructure in data-intensive environments like data centres or enterprise-level networks.
Each of the two ports within the CAT-3KX-10G-NM-SR module is equipped with Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) transceiver slots, enabling flexible and scalable connectivity options. The use of SFP+ transceivers allows network administrators to interchange fibre optic or copper connections as needed, providing versatility for different scenarios. With a focus on high-speed networking, the module supports 10GBASE-SR standards, ideal for short-reach, high-bandwidth communications, notably over multimode optical fibre (MMF).
This module is designed for hot-swappable operation, allowing it to be installed or replaced without the need for downtime, ensuring minimal disruption to critical network functions. The primary advantage of integrating this module is its ability to increase the throughput potential of the switch it's connected to, giving businesses the flexibility to adapt to growing network demands without the need for an entirely new switch.
Its compact and efficient design ensures easy installation and excellent performance in high-demand environments. Overall, the CAT-3KX-10G-NM-SR expansion module stands out as a reliable and high-performing solution for extending 10G connectivity in modern network environments.
EOL Technology Services offers extensive support for the CAT-3KX-10G-NM-SR, including professional services and replacement parts.
