Boost WAN Performance with Multigigabit UPOE+ Power
The Cisco C-NIM-1M is a high-efficiency 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet WAN module engineered specifically for Cisco Catalyst 8200, 8200L, and 8300 Series Edge Platforms. Designed to meet the demands of modern branch connectivity, it delivers multigigabit (mGig bandwidth combined with integrated Cisco UPOE+ (IEEE 802.3bt. This allows the router to deliver up to 90W of power to external devices, such as cellular gateways, directly through the WAN port.
With support for 100/1000/2500BASE-T, this module enhances application throughput and provides the reliability required for high-speed SD-WAN, cloud workloads, and distributed enterprise environments. Its routed Layer 3 architecture ensures secure, isolated, and high-performance WAN access without Layer 2 switching overhead.
Key Benefits & Features
-
Multigigabit WAN Throughput: Native support for 100/1000/2500BASE-T ensures high-capacity WAN links for bandwidth-intensive applications.
-
Cisco UPOE+ (90W Power: Delivers up to 90W (IEEE 802.3bt to power external endpoints like 4G/5G cellular gateways directly from the router, eliminating the need for external power bricks.
-
Routed Layer 3 Architecture: Dedicated Layer 3 port design ensures secure, predictable routing and traffic termination (Layer 2 switching/VLANs not supported on this interface.
-
Broad Platform Compatibility: Fully supported on Catalyst 8200, 8200L, and 8300 Series routers (Requires IOS XE 17.6.1+.
-
Enterprise-Grade Reliability: Engineered for operation in 0–40°C environments with robust thermal management and carrier-grade build quality.
