Cisco DPX50/X90 RD95 2x40G LR NIC Module | Enterprise Network Adapter — RD95-2X40GBPLR-1Y

Deliver higher-bandwidth connectivity to Cisco DPX50/X90 systems with a pluggable 2 x 40 GbE LR NIC module. This adapter is aimed at infrastructure teams that need to move beyond 10 GbE without sacrificing platform fit or operational consistency. The 40 GbE interface supports heavier east-west traffic, uplink consolidation, and bandwidth-hungry workloads where fewer, faster links are easier to manage. The LR optical profile is suited for longer fiber runs than SR alternatives, making it a practical choice for data center interconnects, campus aggregation, and distributed equipment rooms. The pluggable design keeps integration straightforward and helps maintain serviceability in environments where hardware changes must be controlled and predictable. With Cisco support included for 1 year, this module is a focused option for deployments that need a specific bandwidth step-up on a known platform. It is the kind of adapter procurement teams choose when compatibility, link speed, and deployment discipline matter more than lowest-cost generic hardware.
