2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Copper/SFP Network Interface Module

Product Description

The NIM-2GE-CU-SFP is a dual-port Gigabit Ethernet network interface module from Cisco designed for Cisco ISR 4000 Series routers. It provides flexible connectivity options with two ports that support either SFP (fiber) or copper (RJ-45) interfaces, enabling branch offices and enterprise sites to scale LAN/WAN connections efficiently.

This module is ideal for organizations that require high-speed data transfer, redundant links, or fiber uplinks in combination with routing, all within a compact NIM slot deployment.
