C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A Description
C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9606R modular switch bundle for campus core or distribution designs that need one Supervisor 2 module, two high-speed line cards, three 2000W AC power supplies, and DNA Advantage licensing in the same initial order.
The bundle starts with a C9600-LC-48YL SFP line card and a C9600-LC-24C QSFP28 line card, so the purchase covers both 50/25/10G SFP-family links and 100/40G aggregation ports. Compared with C9606R-48S-BN-A, this SKU moves away from a 1G SFP-only first line card and adds the 24C high-speed QSFP28 profile.
Check the C9600X-SUP-2 software baseline, 48YL port-group speed plan, 24C 100G configuration behavior, optical transceiver choices, Smart Account licensing, power-cord region, rack space, and side-to-side chassis airflow before the quote is finalized.

Product Performance
Key Features
The SKU is built around the C9600-LC-48Y24C-B line-card bundle, so the first purchase already includes both the 48YL SFP line card and the 24C QSFP28 line card.
Cisco lists C9600X-SUP-2 with this exact bundle, which aligns the order with the 50G capability on C9600-LC-48YL and the full 24-port 100G mode on C9600-LC-24C.
The 48YL card covers SFP56/SFP28/SFP+ connectivity, while the 24C card covers QSFP28 aggregation, reducing the need to choose one uplink media family at the first chassis purchase.
The Cisco bundle listing associates the order with C9600 Network Advantage and Cisco Catalyst 9600 DNA Advantage terms, so the license line must be reviewed with the hardware BOM.
The exact bundle description includes three 2000W AC power supplies, making input voltage, redundancy mode, and regional power cords part of the procurement check.
The C9606R chassis uses a C9606-FAN tray with side-to-side airflow, so rack layout and cable management should preserve the right-to-left cooling path.
Application Scenarios
Choose C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A when the new Catalyst 9606R purchase must support SFP-family 50G, 25G, or 10G links and QSFP28 100G or 40G aggregation in the first installed chassis.
Select this SKU when an existing design has outgrown a 1G-focused bundle such as C9606R-48S-BN-A and needs a C9600X-SUP-2 order with higher-speed optical line cards.
Use this bundle when the approval path needs the chassis, Supervisor 2, two optical line cards, DNA Advantage licensing, and three 2000W AC power supplies captured under one Cisco-listed PID.

Power supplies selected separately |
- In a C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A vs C9606R-48S-BN-A comparison, the main difference is the starting interface plan: 48Y24C combines 48YL high-speed SFP ports and 24C QSFP28 ports, while 48S is a 1G SFP line-card bundle.
- The C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A difference from C9606R is bundle scope; the exact SKU already ties chassis, Supervisor 2, two line cards, DNA-A licensing, and AC power supplies to one order path.
- For buyers deciding which model to choose, C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A fits a high-speed optical chassis BOM, while C9606R-48S-BN-A fits a 1G SFP starting point and C9606R leaves the supervisor, line cards, licenses, and power choices open.
- In a C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A comparison against the base C9606R chassis, confirm whether the procurement record should show a full bundle PID or separately selected chassis components.
Selection Guide
1. Match the order to the 48Y plus 24C requirement
Choose C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A when the approved design calls for both C9600-LC-48YL and C9600-LC-24C in the first Catalyst 9606R shipment.
2. Keep Supervisor 2 assumptions visible
Select this bundle only after the software and optical plan accounts for C9600X-SUP-2 behavior, including 48YL port-group speed limits and 1G optic restrictions.
3. Do not substitute a 48S bundle for high-speed aggregation
Use C9606R-48S-BN-A only when the first line-card requirement is 48 ports of 1G SFP rather than a mixed 48YL and 24C optical profile.
4. Separate custom chassis builds from bundle PIDs
Order the base C9606R chassis path only when the BOM owner wants to select supervisor modules, line cards, licenses, power supplies, and power cords as separate decisions.
