Cisco C-NIM-2T Network Interface Module 2-Port 1G WAN with MACsec

The Cisco C-NIM-2T is a flexible 2-port network interface module engineered to expand WAN connectivity on Cisco Catalyst 8000 Series Edge Platforms. Designed for high-security Layer 3 routing, it includes two RJ-45 copper ports and two SFP fiber ports organized into dual-port groups. Each group allows one active port at a time, providing media flexibility between copper and fiber. It supports both 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T for RJ-45 and 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-X for SFP connections. With integrated 256-bit WAN MACsec encryption, the module secures data across public and private WAN links. It supports SD-WAN and Cisco vManage integration from day one, and offers online insertion capability for simplified installation and maintenance.

Key Features:

• Dual Combo Port Design: Two port groups each containing one RJ-45 and one SFP port—one port active per group.
• Flexible Media Support: Copper ports support 100/1000 Mbps; SFP ports support 100/1000 Mbps over fiber.
• Advanced Security: 256-bit WAN MACsec encryption ensures secure Layer 3 WAN communications.
• Cloud-Ready: Compatible with Cisco SD-WAN and vManage for cloud-based provisioning and monitoring.
• Platform Support: Works with Catalyst 8200, 8200L, and all Catalyst 8300 Series platforms.
• Hot Insertable: Supports online insertion when directly installed in a router NIM slot. Full Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) requires the use of a C-SM-NIM-ADPT carrier adapter.
