Cisco DPX20/X10 8x1G Pluggable NIC Module | Enterprise Network Adapter — RD21-8X1GBP-5Y

Add practical port density to Cisco DPX20/X10 systems with a pluggable 8 x 1 GbE-BP NIC module. This adapter is built for environments where dependable 1 GbE connectivity still makes sense: management networks, access-layer aggregation, appliance interfaces, and workloads that value port count over raw speed. The 8-port layout gives infrastructure teams more flexibility when mapping services, separating traffic classes, or attaching multiple endpoints without consuming additional chassis space. Because the module is pluggable, it supports cleaner replacement workflows and easier maintenance than fixed-port designs, which helps reduce operational friction in production environments. With Cisco branding and a 5-year coverage term, this module fits procurement cycles that prioritize platform alignment, support continuity, and long service life. It is a measured expansion choice for teams standardizing on DPX20/X10 hardware and looking for a cost-conscious way to add Ethernet connectivity without sacrificing deployment discipline. Ideal For Add multiple 1 GbE links to Cisco DPX20/X10 appliances in access-layer deployments Connect management, monitoring, and service traffic on a single modular adapter Support port-dense edge systems where 1 GbE remains the right speed tier Streamline field replacement in environments with scheduled maintenance windows Why This Product 1 8 x 1 GbE ports for higher port density 2 Pluggable module design for easier serviceability 3 Built for Cisco DPX20/X10 platform compatibility 4 5-year coverage for extended lifecycle planning
