C9404R-48U-BNDL-A Description

The C9404R-48U-BNDL-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series modular switch bundle for wiring closets that power phones, access points and cameras over UPOE. The 4-slot C9404R chassis has two line-card slots, two supervisor slots and four power supply bays in 6 RU, and the included C9400-LC-48U card supplies 48 10/100/1000 ports at up to 60W each. The -A suffix carries Cisco DNA Advantage, and the supervisor slots accept supervisor engines only, never line cards.

Key Features

Four Slots In Six Rack Units

The C9404R holds two line cards and two supervisors in 6 RU and 39.0 lb with its fan tray, so a closet with limited rack height can still host a modular switch.

48 UPOE Ports In The Bundle

The included C9400-LC-48U supplies 48 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports with PoE, PoE+ and Cisco UPOE at up to 60W per port.

Second Line-Card Slot

Slots 1 and 4 take line cards, and the second slot raises the chassis to 96 UPOE ports. Until then it needs a slot cover, since empty slots stay open.

Slot Bandwidth Follows The Supervisor

The supervisor sets the per-slot rate on the C9404R: 80 Gbps with C9400-SUP-1, 240 Gbps with C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y or C9400X-SUP-2, and 480 Gbps with C9400X-SUP-2XL. Redundant supervisors must be the same engine type.

Four Power Supply Bays

The bays take 3200W AC, 2100W AC or 3200W DC modules in N+N, N+1 or combined mode. On a 115VAC feed the 3200W AC module delivers about 1560W, which cuts the UPOE budget available to 48 ports.

Cisco DNA Advantage Tier

The Advantage tier brings ThousandEyes and Cisco Spaces Extend licenses with the DNA subscription, which runs 3, 5 or 7 years. The tier must match the Network Advantage stack license on the switch.

Application Scenarios

Closet For Phones, APs And Cameras

In a floor wiring closet, the bundle powers IP phones, wireless access points and cameras from 48 UPOE ports at up to 60W each. Traffic from all of them leaves through the supervisor uplinks.

Building Aggregation Room

A building that collects several access switches can use the open line-card slot for a fiber card such as the 24-port 10 Gigabit C9400-LC-24XS beside the copper card, so one chassis serves both roles.

Closet With Redundant Supervisors

A closet that cannot tolerate a supervisor failure fills both supervisor slots with matching engines, so forwarding continues through a switchover while the 48 UPOE ports stay powered.

Cisco DNA Essentials

Cisco DNA Advantage

C9404R-48U-BNDL-A and C9404R-48U-BNDL-E share the same 4-slot chassis and one C9400-LC-48U with 48 UPOE ports, and differ only in license tier: Cisco DNA Advantage here, Cisco DNA Essentials in C9404R-48U-BNDL-E. A site that can run on the Essentials tier orders C9404R-48U-BNDL-E, and one that needs Advantage stays on this bundle. When 96 UPOE ports are needed on day one, C9407R-96U-BNDL-A ships two C9400-LC-48U line cards in a 7-slot chassis with 5 line-card slots, 8 power supply bays and room for up to 240 ports, against 2 line-card slots, 4 bays and 96 ports here.

Ordering Checklist

  • Redundant supervisor: Order a second supervisor as a /2 PID, such as C9400-SUP-1/2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL/2, for the second of the two supervisor slots, 2 and 3. Line cards cannot go in supervisor slots, so redundancy needs its own line.
  • Power supplies: Select C9400-PWR-3200AC, C9400-PWR-2100AC or C9400-PWR-3200DC for the 4 bays, with quantity set by the redundancy mode. The 115VAC range derates the 3200W AC supply to 1560W.
  • Second line-card slot: The bundle fills one of the two line-card slots (1 and 4) with C9400-LC-48U; add another line card or C9400-S-BLANK= to cover the open slot.
  • Chassis-specific kits: Order C9404-FAN=, C9404-ACC-KIT= and C9404-RACK-19-KIT=; no shelf install kit is listed for this chassis. These kits are per chassis size and do not carry across the 7 and 10 slot chassis.

Questions & Answers

  • Which supervisor engines does C9404R-48U-BNDL-A support, and can it run two?

    C9404R-48U-BNDL-A supports C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2 and C9400X-SUP-2XL, in dedicated slots 2 and 3. A second supervisor adds redundancy and must be the same engine type as the first. Order it as a /2 PID such as C9400-SUP-1/2.
  • Which power supplies and redundancy modes does C9404R-48U-BNDL-A support?

    C9404R-48U-BNDL-A has 4 power supply bays for C9400-PWR-3200ACT, C9400-PWR-3200AC, C9400-PWR-2100AC or C9400-PWR-3200DC modules, with quantity set by the redundancy mode. Supported modes are N+N, N+1 and combined. On a 115VAC feed the 3200W AC module delivers about 1560W.
  • What happens in C9404R-48U-BNDL-A if two fans in the C9404-FAN tray fail?

    If two or more of the 8 fans fail, the whole tray runs at full speed after one minute and must be replaced. If one fan fails, the other fans in the same row speed up. The C9404-FAN tray is nonredundant as a unit and can be serviced from the front or the rear, per the Catalyst 9400 hardware installation guide.
  • How many 90W ports can C9404R-48U-BNDL-A reach with C9400-LC-48HX cards?

    The C9404R chassis reaches 96 ports at 90W when both line-card slots hold C9400-LC-48HX cards. That needs C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL and fully loaded 3200W supplies in combined mode. The bundled C9400-LC-48U is a 60W card, so it is not part of that count and would be replaced by a second C9400-LC-48HX.
  • Does C9400-LC-48U in C9404R-48U-BNDL-A reach line rate on C9400-SUP-1?

    Yes. The 48-port 1G cards such as C9400-LC-48U need only 48G per slot, and C9400-SUP-1 gives 80 Gbps per line-card slot in this chassis. These cards run at line rate on every supervisor, so a newer engine does not raise their speed.
  • How much PoE can a line-card slot of C9404R-48U-BNDL-A draw?

    The C9404R chassis is capable of about 4800W per slot, and current line cards draw up to 4320W. The output pool of the power supplies is shared between data and PoE. The number of supplies and the redundancy mode therefore set the PoE that is actually available to the bundled C9400-LC-48U.
