Cisco 8-Port 10GbE Gigabit Expansion Module

The Cisco WS-X4908-10GE= is a plug-in expansion module that adds eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to a compatible Cisco switch. It gives network teams an immediate bandwidth boost without the cost or disruption of replacing an entire chassis, making it ideal for environments that move large files, host cloud applications, or support virtualized workloads.

Each port delivers up to 10 Gbps of wired throughput, eliminating bottlenecks when aggregating traffic from servers, storage systems, and downstream access switches. The stable, low-latency links help real-time analytics, high-definition video streams, and other performance-sensitive tasks run smoothly.

Installing the module is straightforward: slide it into the designated slot, secure it, and the new ports appear in your familiar Cisco management tools. The design is compact and rugged, so it fits easily into crowded racks and operates reliably during round-the-clock service.

Weighing just 2.43 pounds, the WS-X4908-10GE= is light enough for quick field replacement yet durable enough for continuous duty in enterprise data centers, campus cores, or branch aggregation points. For any organization that needs more 10 Gigabit capacity fast, this module offers a clear, cost-effective path forward.
