PWR-C5-715WDC Description
PWR-C5-715WDC is a Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series 715W DC Config 5 power supply module used as a spare DC input supply for Catalyst 9200 and Catalyst 9200L PoE switch power bays. It provides a -40 to -72 VDC terminal-block input option for DC-powered access-switch deployments, is listed by Cisco as a spare-only ordering PID, and is supported from Cisco IOS XE 17.8.1 for the C9200/C9200L PoE platform scope documented for this power-supply family.

Application Scenarios
Select PWR-C5-715WDC when the Catalyst 9200L PoE switch must be powered from a DC plant and the BOM requires Cisco’s Config 5 DC spare rather than an AC module.
Use this SKU in a supported C9200L or C9200 PoE power plan where the 715 W DC spare is mixed with an AC supply as the primary or secondary module.
Stage PWR-C5-715WDC only after confirming whether the installed switch belongs to a 24-port or 48-port PoE row, because the second-PSU PoE value differs across those Cisco tables.

- In a PWR-C5-715WDC vs PWR-C6-715WDC comparison, the confirmed electrical values match at 715W output, -40 to -72 VDC input, 20-11.3A input current, terminal-block input, and 25A feed rating.
- The PWR-C5-715WDC difference from PWR-C6-715WDC is the Config code and table placement, so buyers should keep the exact Cisco spare PID aligned with the switch model row in the BOM.
- For PWR-C5-715WDC vs PWR-C5-600WAC, the main comparison point is facility power: PWR-C5-715WDC uses DC input and raises the one-PSU PoE value to 485W, while PWR-C5-600WAC uses AC input and maps to 370W on supported 600W AC PoE models.
- In a PWR-C5-715WDC vs PWR-C5-1KWAC comparison, which model to choose depends on input power and PoE planning because the DC spare is rated 715W while the 1KW AC supply is tied to 48-port full-PoE AC rows.
Selection Guide
1. Choose DC input only when the site power plan requires it
Choose PWR-C5-715WDC when the rack feed is -40 to -72 VDC and the installed Catalyst 9200 PoE switch is covered by Cisco’s 715 W DC spare support note.
2. Keep the Config 5 PID separate from Config 6
Use the exact PWR-C5-715WDC spare when the BOM calls for Config 5, and move to PWR-C6-715WDC only when the Cisco table or ordering line requires the Config 6 DC spare.
3. Match the PoE row before approving the replacement
Select this SKU with the confirmed 485W one-PSU PoE value, then verify whether the second-PSU target is 740W or 970W for the specific 24-port or 48-port PoE switch row.
4. Verify software and wiring before release
Verify Cisco IOS XE 17.8.1 or later, terminal-block wiring, 25A feed planning, and the AC/DC primary-secondary mix because those checks control whether the spare can be staged safely.
PoE Power Planning
|
Planning Item |
Cisco-Confirmed Value |
Procurement Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
One DC power supply |
485W available PoE on listed 715 W DC PoE rows |
Sets the endpoint budget when a single 715 W DC spare is installed |
|
Second DC power supply on 24-port rows |
740W on listed 24-port PoE and 24-port mGig PoE rows |
Confirms the second-PSU budget for 24-port access-switch orders |
|
Second DC power supply on 48-port rows |
970W on listed 48-port PoE, partial-PoE, and mGig PoE rows |
Prevents a 48-port DC design from assuming the 1440W value shown for 1KW AC supplies |
|
AC and DC mix |
PWR-C5-715WDC and PWR-C6-715WDC can mix with AC power supplies as primary or secondary on the same C9200L or C9200 device |
Allows a mixed input-power design only where the switch model and software support it |
|
Software support |
Cisco IOS XE 17.8.1 and later |
Blocks orders for older software baselines that do not support the 715 W DC spare |
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact Cisco PID |
PWR-C5-715WDC= |
Prevents substitution with the Config 6 DC spare or an AC supply |
|
Switch support scope |
C9200L or C9200 PoE model covered by Cisco’s 715 W DC support note |
Keeps the DC module out of data-only switch power bays |
|
Software release |
Cisco IOS XE 17.8.1 or later |
Confirms the switch software can recognize the 715 W DC spare |
|
Facility power |
-40 to -72 VDC input and terminal-block feed |
Aligns the PSU order with the site power plant instead of an AC circuit |
|
Power-feed rating |
25A feed planning for the DC module |
Prevents the DC power connection from being treated like an IEC AC cord order |
|
PoE budget target |
485W with one DC PSU, then 740W or 970W with the second DC PSU depending on switch row |
Avoids overcommitting endpoints against the wrong Cisco power table |
