C9600-PWR-3KWAC Description
The C9600-PWR-3KWAC is a Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series 3000W AC power supply for the four power-supply bays of the Catalyst 9606R chassis. The module delivers 1500W at 90 to 140 VAC and 3000W at 180 to 264 VAC, takes single-phase AC input on an IEC 60320 C20 receptacle and runs at 94% typical efficiency. Power supplies in one chassis must have equal wattage, and AC and DC modules mix only when the AC input is 220V.

Application Scenarios
In a campus core closet, up to four modules share the load of a Catalyst 9606R in Combined mode, or one module is held in reserve in Redundant N+1 mode.
An equipment room with 220V circuits lets each module deliver its full 3000W through a dedicated 20A branch circuit, where 110V feeds limit it to 1500W.

C9600-PWR-3KWAC is the highest-capacity module in this group, with 3000W at 180 to 264 VAC and 1500W at 90 to 140 VAC against 2000W and 1050W for C9600-PWR-2KWAC, so chassis that need more than 2000W per module use it. It takes an IEC 60320 C20 input and a 20A cord, so feeds limited to 15A cords use C9600-PWR-2KWAC instead. DC-fed sites at -40 to -72 VDC order C9600-PWR-2KWDC, rated 2000W. 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: Confirm the host is a Catalyst 9600 Series C9606R chassis, which takes 3000W AC, 2000W AC and 2000W DC power supplies. The module fits only the C9606R power-supply bays, and no other Catalyst 9600 host is listed in the datasheet.
