FPR-NM-8X10G Cisco Firepower 8-port 10GBE SFP+ Expansion Module
FPR-NM-8X10G - Cisco Firepower 8-Port 10GBE SFP+ Expansion Module
High-Speed Network Module for Cisco Firepower Appliances with 8x 10G SFP+ Ports
The Cisco FPR-NM-8X10G Network Module is a high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet expansion module engineered to enhance the connectivity and throughput of Cisco Firepower 4100 and 9300 Series next-generation firewall appliances. Designed for data center and edge security deployments, this module delivers eight 10G SFP+ interfaces, enabling organizations to scale firewall capacity while maintaining robust security and traffic segmentation.
With an aggregate bandwidth of up to 80 Gbps, the FPR-NM-8X10G supports demanding workloads such as high-speed WAN uplinks, east–west data center traffic, and secure inter-zone segmentation. The module is hot-swappable, allowing administrators to add or replace interfaces without powering down the firewall, thereby minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous network availability.
The module supports a wide range of Cisco-qualified SFP+ optics, including 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, and direct-attach copper (DAC), providing deployment flexibility across short- and long-range connections. Fully managed through Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) or ASA software and centralized via Firepower Management Center (FMC), the FPR-NM-8X10G integrates seamlessly into existing Cisco security architectures.
Ideal for enterprises and service providers, this network module enables scalable, high-speed firewall connectivity, redundancy, and performance optimization in modern, security-driven network environments.
