C9400-LC-24S Description
The C9400-LC-24S is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 24-port 1 Gigabit Ethernet fiber line card for aggregation and fiber-to-the-desktop links in a modular campus chassis. The card has 24 SFP ports, 24 Gbps of full-duplex nonblocking bandwidth and 120 W maximum rated power, and it runs on Cisco IOS XE 16.8.1 or later. The card fits any non-supervisor slot in C9404R, C9407R and C9410R chassis and works with all five Catalyst 9400 supervisor engines.

Application Scenarios
A campus distribution or core chassis connects fiber-to-the-desktop and building-distribution links to the card, which gives each of its 24 SFP ports nonblocking 1 GE.
A service provider chassis aggregates DSLAM, PON, mobile backhaul or FTTX handoff links onto the card’s 1 GE SFP ports.

C9400-LC-24S is the 24-port 1 GE SFP card of this group, while C9400-LC-48S doubles that to 48 ports and C9400-LC-24XS offers 24 SFP+ ports that run at 10 GE or 1 GE. A full C9410R carries 192 ports with C9400-LC-24S or C9400-LC-24XS and 384 with C9400-LC-48S, so a chassis that needs more 1G fiber ports per slot should move to C9400-LC-48S. Links planned for 10 GE need C9400-LC-24XS, which also takes 1 GE SFP modules so 1G links can migrate to 10G in stages. C9400-LC-24XS lists Cisco IOS XE 16.6.2 as its minimum release, against 16.8.1 for C9400-LC-24S and C9400-LC-48S.
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 9400 chassis: Install the card in a line-card slot of a C9404R, C9407R or C9410R (2, 5 or 8 line-card slots respectively). Supervisor slots do not accept line cards.
- Supervisor engine: Any of C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL works with this card, so no engine change is needed.
