C9600-PWR-2KWDC Description
C9600-PWR-2KWDC is a Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series 2000W DC power supply module for Catalyst 9606R modular switch power bays.
This PSU belongs in Catalyst 9600 power plans that are fed by a DC plant instead of AC branch circuits. The closest same-wattage alternative is C9600-PWR-2KWAC, but that model uses AC input, an IEC C16 receptacle, and an AC 15A cord path; C9600-PWR-2KWDC uses -40 to -72 VDC input, an Amphenol DC receptacle, and a DC 70A cord rating.
Procurement review should tie the line item to the Catalyst 9606R chassis, four-bay PSU plan, DC input source, PWR-2KW-DC-CBL cable, power mode, and any unused-bay blank covers. Those checks reduce the risk of receiving a 2000W AC or 3000W AC PSU for a DC-powered chassis.

Application Scenarios
C9600-PWR-2KWDC fits replacement or expansion work where the installed Catalyst 9606R chassis is already designed around -40 to -72 VDC input and 2000W DC power supplies.
The SKU is relevant when a new Catalyst 9600 bill of materials must keep site power on DC feeds rather than the 2000W AC or 3000W AC PSU families listed for the same chassis.
Orders that include this PSU should keep the PWR-2KW-DC-CBL line visible and should document whether all PSUs connect to the same DC source or split across sources for the selected redundancy design.

- In a C9600-PWR-2KWDC vs C9600-PWR-2KWAC comparison, both are 2000W Catalyst 9600 PSUs, but the DC model uses -40 to -72 VDC input, an Amphenol receptacle, and a DC 70A cord rating instead of AC input with a C16 receptacle and AC 15A cord rating.
- The C9600-PWR-2KWDC difference from C9600-PWR-3KWAC is both power source and wattage class: 2000W DC versus 3000W AC with a C20 receptacle and AC 20A cord rating.
- For buyers deciding which model to choose, the comparison should start with site input power, required max power rating, input current, receptacle type, and cord rating from the table.
Selection Guide
1. Match the site power source before wattage
Choose C9600-PWR-2KWDC only when the chassis power design is based on DC input; an equal 2000W rating does not make the AC SKU a substitute.
2. Keep the DC cable on the same order review
The data sheet lists PWR-2KW-DC-CBL for this PSU, so the cable should be checked with the power supply rather than treated as a generic rack accessory.
3. Review power mode and PSU quantity together
Combined mode and N+1 redundant mode change how capacity is reserved, so the PSU count should be matched to the expected chassis load before the quote is approved.
4. Separate unused-bay covers from spare PSUs
C9606-PWR-BLANK covers are needed for empty power-supply bays, while C9600-PWR-2KWDC is the active 2000W DC module for populated bays.
