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.

Key Features

Five Line-Card Slots

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.

Slot Bandwidth Set By The Supervisor

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.

High-Speed Port Density

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 Power Bays In Three Modes

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.

PoE Headroom And Input Voltage

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.

Shelf Support For A 63 lb Chassis

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

Campus Distribution Room

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.

High-Density PoE Closet

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.

Small Campus Collapsed Core

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.

Questions & Answers

  • Which supervisor engines does C9407R support, and does it support two?

    C9407R supports C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2 and C9400X-SUP-2XL, and it supports a redundant pair in slots 3 and 4. Dual supervisors run 1+1 with NSF/SSO and ISSU under 200 msec. The second engine is a separate /2 PID such as C9400X-SUP-2XL/2.
  • Which power supply redundancy modes does C9407R support?

    C9407R supports redundant N+N, redundant N+1 and combined mode, with AC or DC supplies in every mode. Its 8 bays take C9400-PWR-3200ACT, C9400-PWR-3200AC, C9400-PWR-2100AC or C9400-PWR-3200DC. N+N halves usable output, N+1 reserves one supply, and combined mode sums all supplies against the share ratio.
  • How many fans are in the C9407-FAN tray of C9407R and what happens if two fail?

    The C9407-FAN tray holds 12 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 C9407R supply with C9400-LC-48HX cards?

    C9407R supplies 90W on 226 ports with C9400-LC-48HX cards, which equals 4 fully loaded cards plus 34 ports. This needs C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL and fully loaded 3200W supplies in combined mode. With C9400-LC-48HN cards at maximum power, 231 ports can supply the full 90W at once.
  • Does C9400-LC-48U run at full line rate in C9407R with 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 C9407R. These cards run at line rate on every supervisor, so a newer engine does not raise their speed.
  • What are the dimensions of C9407R?

    C9407R is 17.41 in high, 17.30 in wide and 16.30 in deep, which is 10 RU. Plan rack depth for 16.30 in before allowing room for cable bend. These are the datasheet figures for the chassis, and they apply to the chassis with its fan tray fitted.
  • Which line card types can be ordered for C9407R?

    C9407R takes up to 5 line cards. Copper cards come as multigigabit or 1G with UPOE+, UPOE, PoE+ or data-only power. 1G fiber and 10G fiber cards are also available. Add C9400-S-BLANK= for each slot left empty, per the Catalyst 9400 ordering guide.
