Cisco DPX50/X90 Pluggable 2x40G NIC Module | Enterprise Network Adapter — RD95-2X40GNIC-5Y

Increase network capacity on DPX50/X90 systems with Cisco’s pluggable 2 x 40 GbE NIC module. This adapter is built for teams that need more throughput from an existing platform, delivering dual 40 GbE connectivity in a compact, purpose-fit module. For enterprise infrastructure, the advantage is control. You can add bandwidth where it is needed without moving to a larger chassis or reworking the surrounding architecture. That makes it a strong fit for uplink expansion, traffic aggregation, and environments where platform compatibility matters as much as raw speed. The pluggable design keeps the deployment focused and avoids unnecessary hardware sprawl. With 5-year coverage, this configuration is better aligned to longer lifecycle strategies, capital planning, and environments that standardize on extended support windows. It is a practical choice when the goal is to expand capacity once and keep the platform stable for years.
