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
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.
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.
