Cisco RD95-8X10GNIC1Y 8x10G NIC Module | Pluggable Enterprise Adapter — RD95-8X10GNIC1Y

Add high-speed network capacity to DPX50/X90 platforms with the Cisco RD95-8X10GNIC1Y pluggable 8x10G NIC module. Built as a platform-specific expansion option, it is intended for deployments that need more 10 GbE connectivity without moving to a larger chassis or a different architecture. That makes it a strong fit for teams balancing port density, rack efficiency, and controlled upgrade paths. The value here is precision. Rather than overprovisioning with a larger system, this module extends the platform with eight 10 GbE interfaces in a compact pluggable format. For enterprise environments, that can mean cleaner network segmentation, better east-west traffic handling, and a more efficient use of existing hardware investment. Because it is tied to the DPX50/X90 family, this module is best suited to organizations that want a matched expansion component rather than a generic adapter. It is the kind of accessory that supports higher-value infrastructure decisions: keep the platform, add the capacity, and preserve the operational model already in place. Ideal For Adding 10 GbE port density to DPX50/X90 deployments Supporting high-throughput enterprise network segmentation Expanding connectivity in rack-constrained infrastructure Upgrading existing platforms without changing the base chassis Why This Product 1 Eight 10 GbE ports in a compact pluggable module 2 Built for DPX50/X90 platform compatibility 3 Better port density than single-port adapters 4 More efficient than replacing the base system for added capacity
