C9400-LC-48H-B Description
C9400-LC-48H-B is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Bundle Select line-card PID for adding two C9400-LC-48H access line cards to a Catalyst 9400 chassis. Each included C9400-LC-48H is a 48-port UPOE+ 10/100/1000 RJ-45 line card for campus and branch access expansion, supports IEEE 802.3bt/at/af and Cisco pre-standard PoE, can provide up to 90 W Cisco UPOE+ on each of its 48 RJ-45 ports, and is supported starting with Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.1. Cisco lists the base line card with C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2, and C9400X-SUP-2XL supervisor compatibility, so this bundle is best understood as a two-card 1G copper UPOE+ expansion PID rather than a standalone switch.

Application Scenarios
Use C9400-LC-48H-B when the purchase order needs a Bundle Select PID tied to two C9400-LC-48H 1G copper UPOE+ line cards for a Catalyst 9400 chassis.
Select this SKU for access-layer refresh work where the design uses 10/100/1000 RJ-45 endpoints and needs Cisco UPOE+ capability for higher-power devices such as access points, displays, cameras, or building systems.
Choose this bundle only when 1G copper UPOE+ ports match the access design. If the site requires 5G/2.5G multigigabit copper, compare C9400-LC-48HN before the line-card bundle is approved.

- In a C9400-LC-48H-B vs C9400-LC-48H comparison, the key difference is bundle scope: C9400-LC-48H-B is the two-card Bundle Select PID, while C9400-LC-48H is the individual 48-port UPOE+ line card.
- The C9400-LC-48H-B vs C9400-LC-48H-UL difference is the UL1069 ordering context; choose the UL variant only when that standard is required in the bill of materials.
- For buyers comparing C9400-LC-48H-B vs C9400-LC-48HN, the main comparison point is port speed: C9400-LC-48H-B follows the 10/100/1000M 48H base card, while C9400-LC-48HN is the 5G/2.5G multigigabit UPOE+ line card.
- Which model to choose depends on whether the purchase order needs two 1G UPOE+ line cards as one bundle line, one individual 48H line card, the UL1069-compatible 48H variant, or the 5G/2.5G HN line card.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for a two-card Bundle Select order
Select C9400-LC-48H-B when the procurement line must reference the Cisco Bundle Select PID for two C9400-LC-48H line cards.
2. Use the base line-card SKU for a single-card need
Choose C9400-LC-48H instead when the bill of materials needs one 48-port UPOE+ 10/100/1000 RJ-45 line card rather than a two-card bundle line.
3. Check UL1069 and mGig requirements early
Move to C9400-LC-48H-UL when the requirement is the UL1069-compatible 48H ordering entry, or compare C9400-LC-48HN when the access layer needs 5G/2.5G multigigabit ports.
4. Validate chassis power before approval
Confirm chassis model, supervisor module, power supplies, PoE budget, cable category, and slot plan before adding the bundle PID to the final quote.

Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact PID |
Confirm C9400-LC-48H-B |
Separates the two-card bundle PID from the single C9400-LC-48H line card |
|
Chassis |
Confirm C9404R, C9407R, or C9410R |
Chassis model affects slot count and total supported access-port density |
|
Supervisor Module |
Confirm C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2, or C9400X-SUP-2XL |
C9400-LC-48H is compatible with these supervisor modules |
|
PoE Power |
Confirm 90W device count and power-supply plan |
High-power UPOE+ designs must be planned at chassis level |
|
Software Release |
Confirm Cisco IOS XE 16.12.1 or later for the 48H line card |
The line card has a documented minimum software release |
|
Adjacent Variant |
Confirm whether C9400-LC-48H-UL or C9400-LC-48HN is actually required |
Avoids ordering a 1G bundle when UL1069 or multigigabit access is the real requirement |
