C9400-LC-48H-UL Description
C9400-LC-48H-UL is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series line card for Catalyst 9400 modular campus access switches, used when a BOM needs the 48-port UPOE+ 10/100/1000 RJ-45 line-card entry with Cisco-listed UL1069 compatibility. Cisco identifies the SKU as the UL1069-compatible variant of the C9400-LC-48H family, with 48 copper access ports, UPOE+ IEEE 802.3bt support up to 90W per port, Cisco IOS XE Software Release 16.12.1 or later, and installation in any non-supervisor module slot with supported Catalyst 9400 supervisor engines.

Application Scenarios
Specify C9400-LC-48H-UL when the purchase line must identify Cisco’s UL1069-compatible 48-port UPOE+ 10/100/1000 RJ-45 entry rather than the standard C9400-LC-48H ordering PID.
Use this line card for Catalyst 9400 access builds that keep 1G copper at the edge and need IEEE 802.3bt UPOE+ planning for powered endpoints such as wireless access points, cameras, displays, or building systems.
Select this SKU only when 10/100/1000M RJ-45 access ports match the design. If the site needs 5G or 2.5G copper access, compare the C9400-LC-48HN multigigabit line card before quote approval.

- In a C9400-LC-48H-UL vs C9400-LC-48H comparison, the verified difference is the UL1069 ordering note; both entries use the 48-port UPOE+ 10/100/1000 RJ-45 48H line-card family.
- The C9400-LC-48H-UL vs C9400-LC-48HN difference is port speed, because C9400-LC-48HN moves the same 48-port access role to 5G/2.5G multigigabit copper.
- For a C9400-LC-48H-UL vs C9400-LC-48U comparison, the key model choice is UPOE+ versus UPOE; the 48H-UL entry is tied to the UPOE+ 802.3bt line-card family, while C9400-LC-48U is the UPOE 10/100/1000 RJ-45 model.
- Which model to choose depends on whether the BOM needs the UL1069-compatible 48H entry, the standard 48H line card, the multigigabit HN variant, or the UPOE 48U alternative.
Selection Guide
1. Match the UL1069 ordering requirement first
Choose C9400-LC-48H-UL only when the purchase record must call out Cisco’s UL1069-compatible 48-port UPOE+ entry.
2. Keep it for 1G copper access designs
Use this SKU for RJ-45 access networks built around 10/100/1000M endpoint speeds rather than 5G or 2.5G multigigabit ports.
3. Review PoE power at chassis level
Plan the PoE budget against the installed C9404R, C9407R, or C9410R chassis and power-supply configuration before approving high-power endpoint counts.
4. Validate the supervisor and software baseline
Confirm a supported supervisor module and Cisco IOS XE 16.12.1 or later for the 48H line-card family before the line card is staged.
PoE Power Planning
|
Planning Item |
Cisco-Confirmed Basis |
Buyer Check |
|---|---|---|
|
UPOE+ mode |
C9400-LC-48H is an IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PSE and is in 802.3bt mode by default |
Verify the attached endpoint power classes and PoE policy before deployment |
|
90W port planning |
Cisco documents up to 90W IEEE 802.3bt support for the C9400-LC-48H line-card family |
Size power supplies for the actual number of high-power endpoints |
|
Chassis scale |
Cisco architecture guidance lists 90W scale by C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis |
Confirm the chassis and supervisor combination before assuming full-port 90W delivery |
|
Copper cabling |
The module uses 10/100/1000 RJ-45 access ports |
Check cable category and endpoint distance before finalizing the access design |
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact PID |
Confirm C9400-LC-48H-UL |
Separates the UL1069-compatible ordering entry from the standard C9400-LC-48H line card |
|
UL1069 requirement |
Confirm whether UL1069 compatibility is required in the bill of materials |
Prevents ordering the standard 48H PID when the compliance note is required |
|
Supervisor Module |
Confirm C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2, or C9400X-SUP-2XL |
The 48H line-card family is listed as compatible with these supervisors |
|
Software Release |
Confirm Cisco IOS XE 16.12.1 or later |
The 48H line-card family has a documented minimum software release |
|
PoE Budget |
Confirm power supplies and 90W endpoint count |
UPOE+ line-card orders need chassis-level PoE planning |
