C9407R Description
The C9407R is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 7-slot modular chassis for campus distribution layers and large access aggregation rooms. The chassis has five line-card slots, two supervisor slots, eight power supply bays and a 10 RU body, with up to 4320W of PoE per slot and 240 access ports at 1G or 10G. Slots 3 and 4 accept supervisors only, and the 25G, 40G and 100G port densities require a C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL engine.

Product Performance
Key Features
Slots 1 and 2 and slots 5 to 7 hold line cards while slots 3 and 4 are reserved for supervisors. A line card cannot be installed in a supervisor slot.
Each line-card slot carries 80 Gbps with C9400-SUP-1, 120 Gbps with C9400-SUP-1XL or C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, 240 Gbps with C9400X-SUP-2 and 480 Gbps with C9400X-SUP-2XL. The same two engines give 240 Gbps and 80 Gbps on the 4-slot and 10-slot chassis.
With a Supervisor 2 class engine the chassis reaches 108 25G SFP28 ports, 60 40G QSFP+ ports or 20 100G QSFP28 ports. Older engines are limited to 1G and 10G densities of 240 ports.
Eight bays take 3200W AC, 2100W AC and 3200W DC modules. N+N protects against the loss of an input circuit, N+1 against one circuit, and combined mode adds the outputs.
Current line cards draw up to 4320W of PoE per slot, and the chassis itself is capable of about 4800W. On a 115VAC feed the 3200W AC module drops to 1560W, so the input range changes how many modules a full PoE load needs.
At 10 RU and 63.0 lb with the fan tray, the chassis is the smaller of the two Catalyst 9400 chassis that list a shelf install kit, for racks whose rails cannot carry the full weight.
Application Scenarios
In a building distribution room, the chassis terminates uplinks from the access closets across five line cards, with a redundant supervisor pair in slots 3 and 4 holding the routed boundary toward the core.
A large floor or hospital wing can power phones, access points and cameras from UPOE line cards in the five line-card slots, fed by up to eight power supplies on separate input circuits.
A small campus with one core room can land up to 20 100G QSFP28 ports on the chassis behind a C9400X-SUP-2XL engine, and the rack space needed stays at 10 RU.

C9407R is the 7-slot chassis: 5 line-card slots, 240 access ports and 10 RU, against 2 slots, 96 ports and 6 RU on C9404R and 8 slots, 384 ports and 13 RU on C9410R, so the port target and rack height pick the chassis first. The supervisor then sets the slot rate: C9400-SUP-1XL and C9400-SUP-1XL-Y give 120 Gbps per line-card slot here against 240 Gbps on C9404R and 80 Gbps on C9410R, so a site that owns that engine and needs more than 120 Gbps per slot moves to C9404R or fits C9400X-SUP-2 (240 Gbps) or C9400X-SUP-2XL (480 Gbps). The 25G, 40G and 100G densities of 108, 60 and 20 ports also require one of those two engines. A rack that cannot carry 63.0 lb on rails can use C9407-SHELF-KIT=, which C9404R does not list.
PoE Power Planning
|
Planning Item |
Value or Check |
|---|---|
|
PoE standards |
IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at plus the Cisco pre-standard power implementation on every Catalyst 9400 chassis and PoE power supply |
|
PoE budget per line-card slot |
4320W with current shipping line cards; the chassis is capable of approximately 4800W per slot |
|
Power supply bays |
8 bays, populated with C9400-PWR-3200ACT, C9400-PWR-3200AC, C9400-PWR-2100AC or C9400-PWR-3200DC |
|
Redundancy mode |
Redundant N+N halves usable output, redundant N+1 reserves one supply, combined mode sums all supplies against the share ratio |
|
Five-card PoE load |
Size the total budget against five populated line-card slots rather than the per-slot maximum, since eight bays and five slots do not scale at the same ratio |
|
3200W AC supply output |
55V at 58.0A on the 230VAC range and 28.36A on the 115VAC range, 20 ms holdup, 950 BTU/hr heat dissipation per unit |
|
2100W AC supply output |
55V at 38.21A on the 230VAC range and 17.09A on the 115VAC range, 20 ms holdup, 460 BTU/hr heat dissipation per unit |
|
3200W DC supply output |
55V at 58.0A from a -48 to -60 VDC input drawing 36A per input, 8 ms holdup |
|
Input line voltage effect |
The 115VAC range caps the 3200W AC supply at 1560W and the 2100W AC supply at 940W per unit against 3190W and 2102W on the 230VAC range |
|
Powered-device count |
Sum the per-port class draw of the installed PoE line cards against the active budget rather than the per-slot maximum |
Ordering Checklist
- Supervisor engines: Order a primary engine plus a second engine as the /2 PID, for example C9400X-SUP-2XL/2, for slots 3 and 4. The second engine is a separate redundant PID; without it the chassis runs one supervisor.
- Software floor: Each engine has its own minimum IOS XE release on this chassis: C9400-SUP-1 16.6.1, C9400-SUP-1XL 16.6.2, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y 16.9.1, and C9400X-SUP-2 and C9400X-SUP-2XL 17.7.1.
- Power supplies: Select C9400-PWR-3200ACT, C9400-PWR-3200AC, C9400-PWR-2100AC or C9400-PWR-3200DC for the 8 bays; C9400-PWR-3200ACT needs IOS XE 17.13.1. The 3200W AC supply delivers 3190W at 230VAC but 1560W at 115VAC, so the supply count depends on the input range.
- Power cords: Add a regional cord for each AC supply, such as CAB-CEE77-C19-EU or CAB-I309-C19-INTL. The 3200W AC and 2100W AC supplies each have region-specific cord options.
- Chassis-specific parts: Order C9407-FAN=, C9407-ACC-KIT=, C9407-RACK-19-KIT= and, where the rack needs it, C9407-SHELF-KIT=. These are ordered per chassis and are not interchangeable across chassis.
- Blank covers: Add C9400-S-BLANK for each empty line-card slot and C9400-PWR-BLANK for each empty power bay. Empty slots and bays stay open without a cover.
