C9600-PWR-2KWAC Description
C9600-PWR-2KWAC is a Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series 2000W AC power supply module for Catalyst 9600 modular chassis power bays.
Compared with C9600-PWR-3KWAC, this SKU is the lower 2KW AC power class with an IEC C16 input and AC 15A cord rating. It also differs from C9600-PWR-2KWDC because the site feed is single-phase AC rather than a DC plant connection.
Procurement checks should cover the Catalyst 9600 chassis, site voltage, PSU count, regional C15 power cord, and combined or N+1 power mode. Low-line AC operation provides less output than high-line AC, so 110V deployments need a separate power-budget review before the quote is finalized.

Application Scenarios
C9600-PWR-2KWAC fits Catalyst 9600 BOMs that require an AC-input power supply in the 2000W class rather than the larger 3000W AC option.
For maintenance inventory, this SKU keeps the spare PSU aligned with Catalyst 9600 systems already standardized on 2KW AC modules and C16 input hardware.
This module belongs in power-budget reviews where the chassis will run combined mode or N+1 redundant mode and the available output changes between low-line and high-line AC feeds.

- In a C9600-PWR-2KWAC vs C9600-PWR-3KWAC comparison, the key difference is the AC power class: 2000W high-line output with C16 and AC 15A hardware versus 3000W high-line output with C20 and AC 20A hardware.
- The C9600-PWR-2KWAC difference from C9600-PWR-2KWDC is the input-power design, because C9600-PWR-2KWAC is an AC module while C9600-PWR-2KWDC is the DC plant option.
- For buyers comparing C9600-PWR-2KWAC vs C9600-PWR-3KWAC or C9600-PWR-2KWDC, the model to choose should match the site feed, output requirement, receptacle type, cord rating, and redundancy mode.
Selection Guide
1. Match the 2KW AC class to the chassis plan
Select C9600-PWR-2KWAC when the Catalyst 9600 BOM calls for a 2000W AC power supply rather than a 3000W AC or 2000W DC module.
2. Check low-line and high-line output separately
Confirm whether the site will use low-line or high-line AC input, because the same PSU provides 1050W at low-line AC and 2000W at high-line AC.
3. Keep redundancy rules in the power review
Combined and N+1 modes depend on installed PSU count and equal-wattage planning, so replacement and expansion orders should not mix wattage classes without a chassis power calculation.
4. Tie the cord plan to the region
Verify the IEC C16 input path, C15 appliance connector, AC 15A rating, and regional power cord option before releasing the purchase order.
