C9400-LC-48H Description
The C9400-LC-48H is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series UPOE+ line card for campus access closets that power access points, cameras and building endpoints over copper. The card has 48 nonblocking 10/100/1000M RJ-45 ports that supply up to 90W per port under IEEE 802.3bt, with 80 Gbps of bandwidth per slot on C9400-SUP-1 and up to 480 Gbps on C9400X-SUP-2XL. The card runs on all five Catalyst 9400 supervisor engines from Cisco IOS XE 16.12.1.

Application Scenarios
In building risers, the card powers lighting fixtures, shades and building-management endpoints from its IEEE 802.3bt ports instead of local circuits.
An access closet feeding Wi-Fi 6 access points and pan-tilt-zoom cameras that draw more than 30W can supply up to 90W on every one of its 48 copper ports.

C9400-LC-48H is the UPOE+ card of this group, delivering up to 90W on all 48 ports under IEEE 802.3bt, while C9400-LC-48U stops at 60W with Cisco UPOE and C9400-LC-48P at 30W with PoE+. Endpoints that draw more than 60W need C9400-LC-48H; endpoints up to 60W can use C9400-LC-48U, and PoE+ endpoints up to 30W can use C9400-LC-48P. The lower cards also run on older software, C9400-LC-48U from Cisco IOS XE 16.6.1 and C9400-LC-48P from 16.8.1, against 16.12.1 for C9400-LC-48H, which matters on chassis pinned to an earlier release. Port count and 65 W maximum rated power are the same on all three cards.
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 9400 chassis: Use a C9404R, C9407R or C9410R. The card installs only in a line-card slot of these chassis; supervisor slots do not accept it.
- Supervisor engine: Any of C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL supports this card, so no engine upgrade is needed.
- UL1069 sites: Order C9400-LC-48H-UL, the separate PID for the UL1069-compatible version, because the base C9400-LC-48H is not the UL1069 version.
