C9610-LC-40YL4CD Description

The C9610-LC-40YL4CD is a Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switches combo line card for C9610R chassis that connect servers or access layers over SFP56 and uplink over QSFP. The card has 40 SFP56 ports at 50G, 25G, 10G or 1G, 2 QSFP56 ports at 200G, 100G or 40G and 2 QSFP-DD ports at 400G, 200G, 100G or 40G, with 6.4 Tbps per slot. Cisco IOS XE 17.18.2 or later is needed for 1G and 50G transceivers.

Application Scenarios

Dense 25G And 50G Downlinks

In a C9610R aggregation row, the line card serves up to 40 SFP56 ports at 50G, 25G or 10G for server racks and downstream access aggregation switches.

High-Speed Uplinks From The Same Slot

The two QSFP56 ports and two QSFP-DD ports carry the same slot’s traffic upstream to the core or spine at 200G, 100G or 400G, so downlinks and uplinks share one line card.

C9610-LC-40YL4CD is the SFP56 card of the native C9610 pair, with forty 50G/25G/10G/1G SFP56 ports plus two QSFP56 and two QSFP-DD uplinks, while C9610-LC-32CD has thirty QSFP28 ports and two QSFP-DD ports and no SFP56 ports. Links that are mostly 100G or 40G move to C9610-LC-32CD. More than forty SFP56 ports moves to C9600X-LC-56YL4C, which has 56 SFP56 ports and four QSFP28 uplinks, gives up the QSFP-DD ports and needs C9610-LC-ADPT in the C9610R. On C9610-LC-40YL4CD, 1G and 50G transceivers need Cisco IOS XE 17.18.2. Its AC input is 466 W against 495 W for the other two cards.

Ordering Checklist

  • Catalyst C9610R hosts: Use a C9610R chassis with C9610-SUP-3 or C9610-SUP-3XL, with the card in line-card slot 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 or 10. The card installs directly in those slots with either supervisor and needs no C9610-LC-ADPT adapter.

Questions & Answers

  • Which chassis, supervisors and slots does C9610-LC-40YL4CD use?

    C9610-LC-40YL4CD installs directly in C9610R line card slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10 with either C9610-SUP-3 or C9610-SUP-3XL. The card needs no C9610-LC-ADPT adapter in those slots, and the C9610R is its native chassis.

  • Which Cisco IOS XE release does C9610-LC-40YL4CD need?

    C9610-LC-40YL4CD is introduced in Cisco IOS XE 17.18.1 for the C9610R chassis with C9610-SUP-3 or C9610-SUP-3XL. 1G and 50G transceivers need Cisco IOS XE 17.18.2 or later, so the first release alone does not cover them.

  • Which PIDs do I order for a spare C9610-LC-40YL4CD and for an empty line-card slot?

    Order the spare as C9610-LC-40YL4CD(=). An empty line-card slot takes C9610-LC-BLANK(=), which is listed in the C9610 data sheet ordering table. No C9610-LC-ADPT adapter is needed because the card is native to the C9610R, so keep that PID off the order for this part.

  • Which supervisors can run C9610-LC-40YL4CD in a C9610R chassis?

    C9610-SUP-3 and C9610-SUP-3XL both run C9610-LC-40YL4CD, starting at Cisco IOS XE 17.18.1. The card installs in line-card slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10 and needs no C9610-LC-ADPT adapter. Slots 5 and 6 stay with the supervisors.

  • Which software release do 1G and 50G transceivers need on C9610-LC-40YL4CD?

    Cisco IOS XE 17.18.2 is needed for 1G and 50G transceivers on C9610-LC-40YL4CD. The card itself starts at 17.18.1, so a chassis that still runs that release must be upgraded first. The 40 SFP56 ports are rated for 50G, 25G, 10G and 1G.

  • Can C9610-LC-40YL4CD use the CVR-QSFP-SFP10G adapter on its QSFP ports?

    Yes. The CVR-QSFP-SFP10G QSA adapter gives 10G connectivity on the QSFP ports of C9610-LC-40YL4CD. That adds low-speed uplink or downlink options beyond the 40 SFP56 ports. The adapter supports 10G only, so it does not provide 1G or 25G links on the QSFP ports.
