C9K-PWR-1600WDC-R Description
The C9K-PWR-1600WDC-R is a Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series 1600W DC power supply module for -48 VDC telecom and data center racks that host the C9500-32C switch. The module accepts -40 to -72 VDC at up to 40A at -48 VDC, with outputs of 12V main at 133A and 12V standby at 3A at 92 percent typical efficiency. The module is listed only for the C9500-32C, and the C9500-48Y4C and C9500-24Y4C do not support 1600W supplies.

Application Scenarios
In a telecom equipment room with a -48 VDC plant, the module powers a C9500-32C switch directly from the DC bus without an AC conversion stage.
A data center rack running two DC feeds can place one module in each power bay of the C9500-32C, so the switch stays powered if one feed is lost.

C9K-PWR-1600WDC-R is the DC-input 1600W supply for C9500-32C, taking -40 to -72 VDC through an Amphenol C10-638976-000 receptacle with a DC 70A cord rating, while C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R is the 1600W AC version for the same switch on 90 to 140 VAC and 180 to 264 VAC, so AC-fed racks order C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R instead. C9K-PWR-930WDC-R is a 930W DC supply on the same -40 to -72 VDC range with a Molex Minifit 44540-1001 receptacle and a DC 40A cord rating, listed for C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C and C9500-24Y4C, so those switches need C9K-PWR-930WDC-R rather than C9K-PWR-1600WDC-R.
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 9500 host: Order for C9500-32C, the Catalyst 9500 model listed with 1600W AC and 1600W DC power supply options. The 1600W DC 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.
