PWR-C1-715WAC-P Description
PWR-C1-715WAC-P is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series 715W AC Platinum-certified power supply module for Catalyst 9300, Catalyst 9300L, and Catalyst 9300X switch power-supply bays, used to size switch PoE and redundant-power configurations when the 350W class is too small and the 1100W or 1900W AC class is unnecessary. Cisco documentation lists 715W maximum output, 100 to 240 VAC autoranging 50 to 60 Hz input, -56V at 12.8A output, two internal Catalyst 9300 power-supply slots with the unused slot populated by a second PSU or blank module, and a C9300LM boundary where PWR-C1 supplies are not used.

Application Scenarios
PWR-C1-715WAC-P fits replacement stock where the installed Catalyst 9300, Catalyst 9300L, or Catalyst 9300X switch is documented for a 715W AC Platinum C1 power supply.
This SKU appears in Cisco power tables for 24-port and 48-port Catalyst 9300L PoE plans, including single-supply 24-port PoE and dual-supply 48-port PoE configurations.
Sites using an AC input design should keep PWR-C1-715WAC-P separate from PWR-C1-715WDC, because both are 715W C1 supplies but the input power system and cabling requirements are different.

- In a PWR-C1-715WAC-P vs PWR-C1-715WAC comparison, the wattage and AC input range match, while the current SKU is the Platinum certified 715W variant and is listed across C9300, C9300L, and C9300X power-supply tables.
- The PWR-C1-715WAC-P difference from PWR-C1-715WDC is the input system: PWR-C1-715WAC-P uses 100 to 240 VAC, while PWR-C1-715WDC uses -36 to -72 VDC.
- For buyers comparing PWR-C1-715WAC-P vs PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, the comparison changes from the 715W AC Platinum class to the 1100W AC Platinum class and a 115 to 240 VAC input range.
- Which model to choose depends on the documented switch family, AC or DC power design, required output class, and whether the target switch is outside the C9300LM PWR-C6 boundary.
Selection Guide
1. Keep the order on the 715W AC Platinum class
Choose PWR-C1-715WAC-P when the Catalyst 9300, Catalyst 9300L, or Catalyst 9300X power plan calls for a 715W AC Platinum C1 module rather than a lower 350W or higher 1100W class.
2. Separate AC input from the DC 715W option
Use PWR-C1-715WAC-P for 100 to 240 VAC power feeds. Move to PWR-C1-715WDC only when the site power design and cabling are built around the Cisco-listed DC supply.
3. Escalate wattage only when Cisco’s PoE table requires it
Select PWR-C1-1100WAC-P instead of this SKU when the target PoE or PoE+ requirement table lists the 1100W AC supply or a mixed 1100W plus 715W pair.
4. Keep C9300LM out of the C1 replacement pool
Verify the switch family before finalizing the quote because Cisco states that C9300LM switches use PWR-C6 supplies and cannot use the listed PWR-C1 modules.
PoE Power Planning
|
Planning Item |
Cisco-Confirmed Fact |
Quote Check |
|---|---|---|
|
24-port C9300L PoE all-port requirement |
Cisco lists 1 x PWR-C1-715WAC-P or PWR-C1-715WDC for PoE on all ports |
Keep the 715W line only when the target switch and all-port PoE requirement match |
|
48-port C9300L PoE all-port requirement |
Cisco lists 1 x PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or 2 x PWR-C1-715WAC-P for PoE on all ports |
Add the second 715W module when the power plan depends on dual supplies |
|
Modular C9300 PoE+ requirement |
Cisco lists 1 x PWR-C1-1100WAC/PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or 2 x PWR-C1-715WAC/PWR-C1-715WAC-P/PWR-C1-715WDC for 24-port PoE+ |
Do not treat one 715W AC module as the all-port PoE+ plan |
|
C1 dual-supply design |
Catalyst 9300 switches use one or two internal power supply modules and require a blank module in an unused slot |
Confirm whether the order needs a second PSU or a blank slot cover |
|
C9300LM exclusion |
PWR-C6 supplies are supported only with C9300LM and the listed PWR-C1 supplies are not used there |
Keep C9300LM service stock on the PWR-C6 family |
Ordering Checklist
|
Verification Point |
Required Evidence |
Procurement Risk |
|---|---|---|
|
PID and power family |
Match PWR-C1-715WAC-P to the C1 715W AC Platinum supply line |
Stops receiving from substituting the DC 715W PSU or a different C1 wattage |
|
Target switch series |
Confirm C9300, C9300L, or C9300X rather than C9300LM |
C9300LM belongs on Cisco PWR-C6 supplies instead of the listed PWR-C1 modules |
|
Facility input |
Confirm 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz |
The same 715W output class also exists as a DC supply with a different feed design |
|
Power-budget table |
Check whether the design needs one 715W module, two 715W modules, or an 1100W module |
PoE and PoE+ coverage changes with port count and PSU count |
|
Cord set |
Match the Cisco AC cord table to the country, outlet, and current rating |
Prevents completing the PSU line without a usable input cable |
