Cisco DPX20/X10 8x1G NIC Module RD21-8X1GBP-3Y | Enterprise — RD21-8X1GBP-3Y

Extend server connectivity with a module built for practical, high-density 1 GbE expansion. The Cisco DPX20/X10 Pluggable 8x1G-BP NIC Module adds eight Ethernet ports in a pluggable format, making it a clean fit for environments that still depend on 1 GbE access for application traffic, management networks, and distributed services. This module is well suited to teams that need to preserve platform consistency while increasing port count. Rather than adding external adapters or reworking the server design, it slots into the supported Cisco environment and keeps the deployment compact. That matters in racks where space, cabling, and operational simplicity all affect long-term cost. The 3-year support term helps align procurement with refresh cycles and service expectations. For organizations standardizing on Cisco infrastructure, this module offers a focused way to expand connectivity without paying for bandwidth that the workload does not need.
