C9600-PWR-3KWAC Description
C9600-PWR-3KWAC is a Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series 3000W AC power supply module for Catalyst 9600 modular switch power bays.
This PSU fits Catalyst 9600 power designs that use AC site power and need the 3000W AC class instead of the 2000W AC or 2000W DC alternatives. Cisco documents 1500W output at low-line AC input and 3000W output at high-line AC input, so site voltage is a primary ordering check.
The order should be matched to the chassis power-supply count, site input voltage, C20 and 20A cord plan, redundancy mode, and any AC/DC PSU mix rule. For replacement work, keep the wattage family consistent with the installed Catalyst 9600 power design.

Application Scenarios
Use C9600-PWR-3KWAC in Catalyst 9600 chassis builds where the site power plan supports high-line AC input and the BOM needs the 3000W AC PSU class.
Select this SKU for replacement inventory when the installed Catalyst 9600 chassis already uses the 3000W AC power-supply family and the maintenance plan needs a matching spare.
Include C9600-PWR-3KWAC in power-budget reviews where combined mode or N+1 redundant mode is part of the chassis design, especially when the system load depends on high-line AC output.

- In a C9600-PWR-3KWAC vs C9600-PWR-2KWAC comparison, the main difference is the AC power class: 3000W high-line output with a C20 and 20A cord plan versus 2000W high-line output with a C16 and 15A cord plan.
- The C9600-PWR-3KWAC difference from C9600-PWR-2KWDC is the input-power design. C9600-PWR-3KWAC is the AC PSU option, while C9600-PWR-2KWDC belongs in a DC plant design.
- For buyers comparing C9600-PWR-3KWAC vs C9600-PWR-2KWAC or C9600-PWR-2KWDC, the model to choose should match site voltage, required output class, power-cord rating, and the planned redundancy mode.
Selection Guide
1. Match the PSU to the site power design
Select C9600-PWR-3KWAC only when the Catalyst 9600 chassis will use AC input power and the site circuit plan supports the required 3000W AC PSU installation.
2. Check low-line versus high-line output
The same PSU provides different output capacity by input range, so confirm whether the deployment is using the low-line or high-line AC source before finalizing the power budget.
3. Keep equal wattage in redundancy planning
Cisco documents equal-wattage requirements for combined and redundant modes, so replacement or expansion orders should not mix lower-wattage PSUs into a 3000W AC design without a power review.
4. Confirm the cord and receptacle path
Use the C20 input and AC 20A cord requirement as part of the quote check, especially when the order spans multiple regions or cabinet jumper options.

|
Power cord |
C20 input with the correct regional 20A or 16A cord option |

|
Power mode |
Combined mode or N+1 redundant mode |
Determines PSU quantity and whether spare capacity is reserved |
