Description

The C-SM-NIM-ADPT is a single-wide carrier card in the SM-X form factor for Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms. It lets two Network Interface Modules (NIMs) be installed in a Service Module slot, so branch and edge routers can use spare SM slots for legacy voice, WAN, LTE, DSL and serial NIMs.

The adapter provides 2 NIM slots and supports up to 2 NIMs per carrier card with no performance or functionality limits. It is hot-swappable for 1- and 2-port NIMs, and the adapter itself can be removed without powering off the device. NIM density rises to as many as 6 NIMs on C8300-2N2S models and 3 NIMs on C8300-1N1S models. It measures 40 x 206 x 207 mm, weighs 500 g and operates from 0 to 40 C.

The adapter is powered by the host Catalyst 8300 chassis through the SM slot and has no separate licence. It is supported in the SM slots of C8300-2N2S-4T2X, C8300-2N2S-6T, C8300-1N1S-4T2X and C8300-1N1S-6T platforms.

Q: How many NIMs can I install in total?
A: Each adapter holds 2 NIMs. With the adapter fitted, 2N2S models can run up to 6 NIMs and 1N1S models up to 3 NIMs.

Q: Which NIMs work in the adapter?
A: Supported NIMs include NIM-LTEA-EA/LA, NIM-VAB-A, NIM-1T/2T/4T, NIM-16A/24A, the CE1T1-PRI and BRI NIMs, the FXS/FXO voice NIMs, NIM-ES2-4/8, C-NIM-2T, C-NIM-1M and C-NIM-1X. The C-NIM-4X, C-NIM-8M and C-NIM-8T modules are not supported in the adapter.
