C9400-LC-48TX Description
C9400-LC-48TX is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 48-port 10G multigigabit RJ-45 data line card for modular campus copper access and aggregation builds.
For buyers comparing it with C9400-LC-48HX, the procurement difference is powered access: C9400-LC-48TX is the data-only 10G multigigabit card, while C9400-LC-48HX is the UPOE+ model. Compared with C9400-LC-48T, the TX card moves beyond 10/100/1000M and supports 2.5G, 5G, and 10GBASE-T copper speeds.
For quote review, confirm a Catalyst 9404R, 9407R, or 9410R chassis, C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL supervisor, Cisco IOS XE 17.13.1 or later, and an available non-supervisor module slot before ordering the card or spare PID.

Application Scenarios
Deploy C9400-LC-48TX when a Catalyst 9400 chassis needs 48 RJ-45 ports that can handle 10GBASE-T as well as 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M endpoint speeds.
Choose this line card for copper access rows where inline power is not part of the bill of materials. The TX model keeps the 48-port 10G multigigabit data role separate from UPOE+ variants such as C9400-LC-48HX.
Place this SKU only in Catalyst 9404R, 9407R, or 9410R designs that use C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL and run Cisco IOS XE 17.13.1 or later.

- In a C9400-LC-48TX vs C9400-LC-48HX comparison, the table-backed difference is powered access: both cards list 48 10G multigigabit RJ-45 ports, but C9400-LC-48TX is the data line card and C9400-LC-48HX is the UPOE+ line card.
- The C9400-LC-48TX difference from C9400-LC-48T is copper speed and supervisor baseline. C9400-LC-48TX adds 2.5G, 5G, and 10GBASE-T support and is limited to C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL.
- For a C9400-LC-48TX comparison, which model to choose should start with the required RJ-45 speed class and whether the bill of materials needs data-only ports or UPOE+ powered access.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for data-only 10G multigigabit copper
Select C9400-LC-48TX when the Catalyst 9400 design needs 48 RJ-45 data ports with 10GBASE-T, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M speed options.
2. Move to C9400-LC-48HX for UPOE+ access
Review C9400-LC-48HX when the same 10G multigigabit copper speed profile must also provide UPOE+ powered-port support.
3. Keep C9400-LC-48T for 1G-only data access
Use C9400-LC-48T when the access plan stays in the 10/100/1000M RJ-45 class and the deployment does not require multigigabit or 10GBASE-T copper.
4. Validate supervisor and software before quote approval
Confirm C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL and Cisco IOS XE 17.13.1 or later before assigning C9400-LC-48TX to a non-supervisor slot.

Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact PID |
C9400-LC-48TX or spare PID C9400-LC-48TX= |
Separates the data-only 10G multigigabit line card from UPOE+ and 1G variants |
|
Chassis family |
Catalyst 9404R, 9407R, or 9410R |
Keeps the card inside the Cisco-supported Catalyst 9400 modular chassis family |
|
Supervisor module |
C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL |
Cisco limits the TX card to these Supervisor Engine 2 options |
|
Software release |
Cisco IOS XE 17.13.1 or later |
The installation note requires this baseline before insertion and before downgrade planning |
|
Slot placement |
Any non-supervisor module slot |
Prevents the card from being assigned to supervisor-reserved chassis slots |
|
Adjacent variant |
C9400-LC-48HX for UPOE+ or C9400-LC-48T for 1G data-only access |
Prevents ordering TX when the project needs inline power or only 10/100/1000M speeds |
