C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R Description

The C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R is a Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series 1600W AC power supply module for the high-performance C9500-32C switch. The supply accepts 90 to 140 VAC or 180 to 264 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz through an IEC 60320 C16 receptacle, with a 15A power cord rating and a 12V main output rated at 133A. The module is mapped to the C9500-32C only, because C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C and C9500-24Y4C use the 650W AC supply family.

Application Scenarios

Redundant AC Power For C9500-32C

In a core room, a C9500-32C fitted with two of these supplies runs redundant load-sharing AC power for its 32 QSFP28 ports.

Dual-Voltage AC Racks

Racks that supply either 115 VAC or 230 VAC can power a C9500-32C through this module, which accepts 90 to 140 VAC and 180 to 264 VAC at 94% typical efficiency.

C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R is the AC-input 1600W supply for C9500-32C, taking 90 to 140 VAC and 180 to 264 VAC through a C16 receptacle with a 15A cord rating, while C9K-PWR-1600WDC-R delivers the same 1600W and 133A 12V main output from a -40 to -72 VDC feed through an Amphenol C10-638976-000 receptacle, so DC-powered C9500-32C racks order C9K-PWR-1600WDC-R. C9K-PWR-650WAC-R is a 650W AC supply with a C14 receptacle and a 10A cord rating, listed for C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C and C9500-24Y4C, so those switches need C9K-PWR-650WAC-R instead.

Ordering Checklist

  • Catalyst 9500 host: Order for C9500-32C, the Catalyst 9500 model listed with C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R as its 1600W AC power supply. The supply is listed for the C9500-32C power bays only.
  • Hosts without 1600W support: Use C9K-PWR-650WAC-R or C9K-PWR-930WDC-R on C9500-48Y4C and C9500-24Y4C, not a 1600W AC or DC supply. The power supply matrix marks 1600W AC and DC as unsupported on these two switches.

Questions & Answers

  • Can C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R power a Catalyst 9500X switch such as C9500X-28C8D-A?

    No. C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R is listed only for the C9500-32C-A and C9500-32C-E. The Catalyst 9500X models take 1500W supplies, and the 950W PWR-C4-950WAC-R supplies cover other Catalyst 9500 models, per the Cisco Catalyst 9500 power supply fit list. Check the model before ordering.
  • How much heat does C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R add to a C9500-32C-A or C9500-32C-E?

    Cisco lists 3,631 BTU/hr with these switches. Use that figure when sizing rack cooling for the core room. With two supplies installed they share the load, so the heat is divided between the two modules rather than concentrated in one.
  • Which PID orders the redundant C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R supply?

    The redundant ordering option is C9K-PWR-1600WACR/2. It is the second-supply order line for a switch with two power supply slots. If a slot stays empty it needs a blank cover, because each slot must hold either a supply or a cover.
  • What does the status LED on C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R show?

    The supply has a bi-color green and amber LED for status. Green shows a healthy supply and amber flags a fault. The same LED design is used on the AC and DC models, and the module also has a PSU fan, a release handle and retainer clips.
