C9K-PWR-1500WAC Description
The C9K-PWR-1500WAC is a Cisco Catalyst 9500X Series 1500W AC platinum certified power supply module for C9500X-28C8D and C9500X-60L4D switches. The supply accepts 90 to 264 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz through a C21 receptacle, with a 16A power cord rating and a 12V main output rated at 125A. The module is hot-swappable, and the two power supply slots take it with a second AC or DC supply, with a blank cover required in any slot left empty.

Application Scenarios
A C9500X-28C8D in a data center aggregation row draws AC power through the supply from a rack feed anywhere in the 90 to 264 VAC range.
In a switch room, a C9500X-60L4D with two of these supplies shares the load between them, each running at about half capacity, and either module can be replaced hot while the other carries the load.

C9K-PWR-1500WAC is the AC-input 1500W supply for C9500X-28C8D and C9500X-60L4D, taking 90 to 264 VAC through a C21 receptacle with a 16A cord rating, while C9K-PWR-1500WDC is the same 1500W rating for the same two switches on a -40 to -72 VDC feed, so DC-powered racks order C9K-PWR-1500WDC instead. C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R is listed for C9500-32C only, at 1600W with a C16 receptacle and a 15A AC cord rating, so C9500-32C systems need C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R. C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C and C9500-24Y4C take C9K-PWR-650WAC-R, a 650W AC supply with a C14 receptacle and a 10A cord rating.
