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.

Product Performance
Key Features
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
