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