C9610-LC-40YL4CD Description
C9610-LC-40YL4CD is a native Cisco C9610 line card for C9610R chassis deployments that need SFP56 port density with QSFP uplink options in the same slot.
It is best reviewed as a mixed-speed fiber line card: the SFP56 block covers 50G, 25G, 10G, and documented 1G connections, while the QSFP56 and QSFP-DD ports support higher-speed aggregation paths. Plan it with C9610-SUP-3 or C9610-SUP-3XL and the C9610R slot layout before optics are selected.
For quote approval, confirm the chassis, supervisor pair, line-card slot, SFP56 optics, QSFP56 optics, QSFP-DD optics, and Cisco IOS XE release. Layer23-Switch can help check price, stock, warranty support, shipping timing, and compatibility before the final BOM is released.

Application Scenarios
Use C9610-LC-40YL4CD when the chassis needs a dense SFP56 block for 50G, 25G, 10G, or validated 1G fiber links without moving to an adapter-based Catalyst 9600 line card.
Select this line card when the bill of materials needs SFP56 density and a smaller QSFP uplink block in one C9610R slot, using two QSFP56 ports and two QSFP-DD ports for higher-speed aggregation links.
Choose this SKU when the project wants native C9610 hardware for new C9610R deployments and wants to avoid the extra adapter decision required by supported Catalyst 9600 Series line cards.

- C9610-LC-40YL4CD is the native C9610 option for SFP56-heavy C9610R designs that still need QSFP56 and QSFP-DD uplink capacity in the same slot.
- C9610-LC-32CD is a better comparison when the project is centered on 100G/40G QSFP28 density and 400G QSFP-DD uplinks rather than 50G or 25G SFP56 density.
- C9600X-LC-56YL4C increases SFP56 port count and uses QSFP28 uplinks, but C9610R installation requires the C9610-LC-ADPT adapter and separate adapter planning.
- For price and stock checks, treat optics, supervisor modules, software release, adapter use, support coverage, and global shipping as separate quote approval items.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for SFP56-heavy C9610R builds
Select C9610-LC-40YL4CD when the C9610R design needs a native line card with forty SFP56 ports for mixed 50G, 25G, 10G, or validated 1G fiber connectivity.
2. Move to 32CD for QSFP-heavy designs
Choose C9610-LC-32CD instead when most links are 100G or 40G QSFP28 and the project needs the largest native QSFP port block rather than SFP56 density.
3. Separate native and adapter-based options
When comparing C9610-LC-40YL4CD with C9600X-LC-56YL4C or C9600-LC-40YL4CD, confirm whether the order should use native C9610 hardware or a Catalyst 9600 line card through C9610-LC-ADPT.
4. Validate optics and software before purchase
Confirm Cisco-supported SFP56, QSFP56, and QSFP-DD transceivers, the Cisco IOS XE release, and the supervisor module type before approving the final bill of materials.
