C9400-LC-48UX Description
The C9400-LC-48UX is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series UPOE line card for access closets that mix Gigabit and multigigabit powered endpoints. The card has 48 RJ-45 ports, with ports 1-24 at 10/100/1000M and ports 25-48 at 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T, Cisco UPOE up to 60W per port, 240 Gbps of bandwidth and a 240 W maximum rated power. The card runs on all five Catalyst 9400 supervisors from Cisco IOS XE 16.6.2.

Application Scenarios
In a closet with desktop phones on Gigabit and Wi-Fi access points on multigigabit, a single slot carries 24 standard ports and 24 multigigabit ports, all with UPOE.
A Wi-Fi refresh that moves access points to 2.5G or 5G uplinks can power them at up to 60W per port from a Catalyst 9404R, 9407R or 9410R chassis that still uses a C9400-SUP-1 supervisor.

C9400-LC-48UX differs from C9400-LC-48U in port speed: 24 of its 48 ports are 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T multigigabit, while C9400-LC-48U keeps all 48 ports at 10/100/1000 and 48 Gbps of bandwidth against 240 Gbps. Sites with only 1G endpoints and 60W UPOE needs can order C9400-LC-48U, which also lowers maximum rated power from 240 W to 65 W. Endpoints that need 90W, or multigigabit on all 48 ports, call for C9400-LC-48HX, which provides UPOE+ and 480 Gbps at 270 W but works only with C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL and needs Cisco IOS XE 17.8.1 or later. C9400-LC-48UX itself runs on all five supervisors from Cisco IOS XE 16.6.2.
PoE Power Planning
|
Planning Item |
Cisco-Confirmed Basis |
Buyer Check |
|---|---|---|
|
UPOE power class |
C9400-LC-48UX supports up to 60W power per port on each of its 48 ports |
Match endpoint classes to Cisco UPOE rather than assuming 90W UPOE+ support |
|
Port group planning |
Ports 1-24 are 1G UPOE and ports 25-48 are mGig UPOE |
Place mGig endpoints on the correct port range before finalizing cabling and patch plans |
|
Chassis power budget |
Cisco directs power-budget estimates to the Cisco Power Calculator for PoE configurations |
Size power supplies against the expected powered-device mix and redundancy mode |
|
Software-managed PoE controls |
Cisco lists per-port power measurement, maximum power setting per port, and PoE Power Configuration |
Keep software policy and endpoint power limits aligned with the deployed IOS XE release |
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 9400 hosts: Use a Catalyst 9400 chassis C9404R, C9407R or C9410R, in line-card slots only. The supervisor slots do not accept line cards.
