C9600-PWR-2KWAC Description

The C9600-PWR-2KWAC is a Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series 2000W AC power supply module for the Catalyst 9606R chassis. The module takes single-phase AC input of 90 to 140 VAC or 180 to 264 VAC and delivers 1050W at 100 to 120 VAC or 2000W at 200 to 240 VAC, with front-to-rear cooling. Power supplies in one chassis must match in wattage, and AC and DC modules can be mixed only when the AC input is 220V.

Application Scenarios

AC-Fed Core Chassis

In a campus core or distribution room on AC power, the module fills one of the four Catalyst 9606R power-supply bays and runs in combined or N+1 redundant mode with one to four modules installed.

Low-Line And High-Line Feeds

A room with 100 to 120 VAC feeds gets 1050W from each module, while 200 to 240 VAC feeds raise that to 2000W, so the available chassis power follows the feed voltage.

C9600-PWR-2KWAC is the 2000W AC power supply for Catalyst 9600: it delivers 2000W at 180 to 264 VAC and 1050W at 90 to 140 VAC, while C9600-PWR-3KWAC delivers 3000W and 1500W on the same input ranges, so chassis that need more than 2000W per module move to C9600-PWR-3KWAC, which takes an IEC 60320 C20 input and a 20A cord against the C16 input and 15A cord here. Sites with a -40 to -72 VDC plant need C9600-PWR-2KWDC, rated 2000W at 92 percent typical efficiency. Power supplies in one chassis must match in wattage, and AC and DC modules mix only on 220V AC inputs.

Ordering Checklist

  • Catalyst 9600 hosts: Install the module in a Catalyst 9600 Series C9606R chassis, which supports 3000W AC, 2000W AC and 2000W DC power supplies. It fits only the C9606R power-supply bays, and no other Catalyst 9600 host is listed in the datasheet.

    Our receiving department flagged it as genuine immediately. Professional packaging. Took a little longer to clear customs than expected, otherwise excellent.

Questions & Answers

  • Which Catalyst 9600 chassis accept C9600-PWR-2KWAC?

    C9600-PWR-2KWAC installs in the Catalyst 9606R chassis, which has four power supply slots and takes one to four modules. It fits only the C9606R power supply bays, and no other Catalyst 9600 host is listed in the datasheet.
  • Can C9600-PWR-2KWAC be mixed with DC modules in one C9606R?

    Yes, but only when every module has the same wattage and the AC input is 220V. The rule applies in both combined mode and N+1 redundant mode, and power supplies in one chassis must match in wattage.
  • Can C9600-PWR-2KWAC modules in one C9606R run from both 110V and 220V feeds?

    No, AC power supplies cannot mix 110V and 220V inputs in the same chassis. You must feed every C9600-PWR-2KWAC module from the same voltage class. Mixing AC with DC modules also requires the AC input to be 220V, so plan the circuits before you install a second module.
  • How much does each added C9600-PWR-2KWAC contribute in Combined mode?

    Each additional C9600-PWR-2KWAC adds about 90 percent of its capacity in Combined mode, which is the default. In N+1 mode one module is held as spare, so the loss of one module is tolerated. Choose the mode before you size the PoE budget for the chassis.
  • Does C9600-PWR-2KWAC have its own on/off switch in the C9606R?

    Yes, each power supply has its own on/off switch. The Catalyst 9606R has four power supply slots, and Combined is the default redundancy mode. Switch the module off before you remove it, so the chassis can rebalance the load across the remaining modules without a surprise.
  • What AC hold-up time does C9600-PWR-2KWAC provide, and what rating does it carry?

    C9600-PWR-2KWAC provides 20 ms of AC hold-up and is Platinum rated, per Table 4 of the Catalyst 9600 datasheet. Compare that hold-up with the UPS transfer time at the site before you approve the design for the equipment room.
