C9404R-48U-BNDL-A Description
C9404R-48U-BNDL-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series modular access switch bundle for campus access closets that need a 4-slot Catalyst 9404R chassis with first-day UPOE copper capacity. The bundle is identified with supervisor, one C9400-LC-48U line card, and Cisco DNA Advantage licensing; the included line card provides 48 nonblocking 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports with PoE, PoE+, and Cisco UPOE up to 60 W per port, while the C9404R chassis provides two redundant supervisor slots and two line-card slots for up to 96 front-panel ports.

Product Performance
Key Features
The C9404R chassis gives branch and midsize campus access projects a smaller Catalyst 9400 footprint while retaining modular supervisor, line-card, fan, and power-supply serviceability.
The included C9400-LC-48U module provides 48 RJ-45 10/100/1000 ports with PoE, PoE+, and Cisco UPOE support, which fits access closets with mixed endpoint power requirements.
The DNA-A bundle position makes this SKU a better fit when the bill of materials calls for Advantage-tier Catalyst 9400 licensing instead of an Essentials-tier configuration.
C9404R supports Cisco Catalyst 9400 supervisor options, but the exact supervisor model should be checked against the project bill of materials before procurement approval.
Because C9404R has two line-card slots, the first 48-port UPOE build can be expanded with a second supported line card when the access design needs additional copper or fiber interfaces.
The chassis supports up to four Catalyst 9400 AC or DC power supply modules, allowing the project to be sized around PoE load, input-power type, and redundancy target.
Application Scenarios
Use C9404R-48U-BNDL-A when a wiring closet needs a modular Catalyst 9400 platform with one 48-port 1G UPOE copper line card from the initial order.
Choose this SKU when the network standard or project design requires Cisco DNA Advantage entitlement with the Catalyst 9400 modular access platform.
Use the 4-slot chassis when the first phase needs 48 UPOE ports but the deployment plan may later require a second supported line card or a redundant supervisor design.

- C9404R-48U-BNDL-A and C9404R-48U-BNDL-E share the same 4-slot chassis and one C9400-LC-48U starting point; the main ordering difference is the Advantage versus Essentials license tier.
- C9407R-96U-BNDL-A is the larger 7-slot option when the initial design needs two C9400-LC-48U line cards and 96 UPOE access ports.
- For C9404R-48U-BNDL-A, the commercial review should verify the selected supervisor, power supplies, support level, and license term because those details determine the final bill of materials.
Selection Guide
1. Choose this SKU for a 48-port Advantage bundle
Select C9404R-48U-BNDL-A when the access design requires a 4-slot Catalyst 9400 chassis, one 48-port UPOE line card, and Cisco DNA Advantage licensing.
2. Use the Essentials bundle only when the feature tier allows it
Compare C9404R-48U-BNDL-E only if the project can use an Essentials-tier software entitlement and does not require Advantage-tier capabilities.
3. Move to a 7-slot bundle for a larger first-day port count
If the first-day requirement is 96 UPOE ports or more chassis expansion space, compare the C9407R-96U-BNDL-A family before final quote approval.
4. Confirm power and supervisor details before purchase
Do not treat the bundle description as a complete final configuration; check the exact supervisor engine, power supply modules, redundancy plan, and software subscription term in the customer BOM.
