C9404R-48U-BNDL-E Description

The C9404R-48U-BNDL-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series modular switch bundle for compact wiring closets that need UPOE copper access from day one. The bundle combines the 4-slot C9404R chassis, with two line-card slots and four power supply bays in 6 RU, and one C9400-LC-48U card of 48 10/100/1000 ports delivering up to 60W each. The -E suffix carries Cisco DNA Essentials, and a redundant supervisor takes slot 3 while line cards stay in slots 1 and 4.

Key Features

Compact Modular Chassis

The C9404R is 10.47 inches high, 6 RU, with separate service points for supervisors, line cards, fan tray and power supplies. It mounts in a 19-inch rack.

48 UPOE Ports On The First Card

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

Room For A Second Card

Two slots take line cards, giving a ceiling of 96 UPOE ports on the chassis. The open slot is covered until a card goes in.

Two Supervisor Slots

Slots 2 and 3 hold supervisors only. A matching second engine provides 1+1 redundancy, and different engine types cannot be mixed.

Up To Four Power Modules

AC modules of 3200W or 2100W and a 3200W DC module fit the four bays. Combined mode adds their outputs, while N+N protects against the loss of an input circuit.

Cisco DNA Essentials Tier

The Essentials tier provides basic automation, management and visibility on a 3, 5 or 7 year subscription, and it must pair with the Network Essentials stack license. Advantage-tier features need the upgrade license.

Application Scenarios

Office Floor Closet

On an office floor, the bundle connects desk phones, wireless access points and ceiling cameras, and supplies up to 60W to each endpoint from the 48 UPOE ports.

School Or Hospital Wing Access Room

A school building or hospital wing with one cramped equipment room can fit a 6 RU modular switch there and keep supervisors, line cards and fans serviceable separately.

Closet Growing To 96 Ports

When a closet’s endpoint count doubles, a second 48-port line card goes into the open slot and the chassis reaches 96 UPOE ports without replacing the switch.

Cisco DNA Essentials

C9404R-48U-BNDL-E and C9404R-48U-BNDL-A share the 4-slot C9404R chassis and one C9400-LC-48U with 48 UPOE ports, and differ only in license tier: Cisco DNA Essentials in the -E and Cisco DNA Advantage in the -A. A site that needs the Advantage feature set orders C9404R-48U-BNDL-A, and Cisco lists Essentials-to-Advantage upgrade licenses in 3, 5 and 7 year terms for installed hardware. The 4-slot chassis holds two line cards, which caps it at 96 ports of 1G UPOE. Closets that need more than that move to C9407R-96U-BNDL-E, a 7-slot chassis with two C9400-LC-48U cards, five line-card slots and up to 240 ports.

Ordering Checklist

  • Supervisor: Select the default C9400-SUP-1XL, or C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL; a second supervisor is optional. The choice is mandatory and sets the bandwidth per slot and the uplink speeds.
  • Power supplies: Select any of C9400-PWR-3200AC, C9400-PWR-2100AC, C9400-PWR-3200DC or C9400-PWR-3200ACT, up to four on the C9404R. The selection is mandatory, and the four bays cap the count.
  • Power cords: Add one regional cord for each AC supply, or CAB-OPTOUT; DC supplies must take CAB-OPTOUT. An AC supply without a cord choice, or a DC supply with an AC cord, leaves the configuration incomplete.
  • Second line card: The C9404R holds at most two line cards; add a second supported card, or cover the free slot with C9400-S-BLANK. The bundle carries one C9400-LC-48U, so further ports or a slot cover are separate lines.
  • DNA Essentials term: Select C9400-DNA-E-3Y, C9400-DNA-E-5Y or C9400-DNA-E-7Y. The Cisco DNA tier must match the Network Essentials stack license, with a term of 3, 5 or 7 years.

Questions & Answers

  • Which supervisor engines can C9404R-48U-BNDL-E use, and can it run two?

    C9404R-48U-BNDL-E defaults to C9400-SUP-1XL, or takes C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL. A second supervisor is optional and gives 1+1 redundancy in slot 3, and the two engines must be the same type. Line cards are not supported in slots 2 and 3.

  • Which power supplies and redundancy modes does C9404R-48U-BNDL-E support?

    C9404R-48U-BNDL-E takes up to four supplies from C9400-PWR-3200AC, C9400-PWR-2100AC, C9400-PWR-3200DC or C9400-PWR-3200ACT, and the selection is mandatory. Combined mode adds their outputs, while N+N protects against the loss of an input circuit. Each AC supply needs a regional power cord or CAB-OPTOUT.

  • How many fans are in the C9404-FAN tray of C9404R-48U-BNDL-E and how is it serviced?

    The C9404-FAN tray holds 8 fans. If one fan fails, the other fans in the same row speed up. If two or more fail, the whole tray runs at full speed after one minute and must be replaced. The 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-E reach with C9400-LC-48HN cards?

    The C9404R chassis reaches 96 ports at 90W when both line-card slots hold C9400-LC-48HN cards at maximum power. The bundled C9400-LC-48U is a 60W card, so it is not part of that count. Size the power supplies for fully loaded cards before ordering a second card type.

  • What are the width and depth of C9404R-48U-BNDL-E?

    The C9404R chassis is 17.30 in wide and 16.30 in deep. Its height is 10.47 in for 6 RU. Plan rack depth for 16.30 in before allowing room for cable bend. These are the datasheet figures for the chassis that ships in this bundle.

  • Does C9400-LC-48U in C9404R-48U-BNDL-E reach line rate on the bundled C9400-SUP-1XL?

    Yes. The 48-port 1G cards such as C9400-LC-48U need only 48G per slot, and every supervisor delivers at least that 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 and is not needed for this card.
