PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L Description
PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L is a Cisco Industrial DIN-rail 240W AC-to-DC PoE power supply for industrial Ethernet switch power designs. Cisco lists the orderable PID as PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L=, with hardwired AC input, 90-264V AC supported input range, 54V DC output across a 48-56V DC range, 4.5A output current, and IP20 enclosure rating. It is used as a PoE-capable external power source in Cisco industrial switch deployments and BOMs where the exact 240W hardwired AC PSU must match Cisco IE platform power-planning requirements.

Application Scenarios
PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L fits DIN-rail panels where the site feed is AC and the switch power plan calls for a hardwired 240W supply with PoE support.
Cisco lists PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L= in IE2000 and Catalyst IE3200 power-supply tables as a 240W PoE-capable option, so procurement teams can tie the spare to a documented industrial switch power table instead of treating it as a generic converter.
Use this SKU when the BOM needs more output than the 170W hardwired class but does not require the 480W hardwired class. Keep the IEC C16 plug-in 240W SKU separate when cabinet wiring expects a plug-in input connection.

- In a PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L vs PWR-IE170W-PC-AC comparison, both are hardwired DIN-rail PoE supplies, but PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L provides a 240W AC-only output class while PWR-IE170W-PC-AC provides 170W and also supports high-voltage DC input.
- The PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L difference from PWR-IE240W-AC-IEC is the input connection. Both are 240W PoE supplies, but PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L is hardwired and PWR-IE240W-AC-IEC uses an IEC C16 plug-in connector.
- For a PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L vs PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L comparison, the shared hardwired AC design should not hide the power-class difference: the current SKU is 240W, while PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L is the 480W hardwired option.
- Buyers comparing which model to choose should verify input connection, AC versus high-DC requirements, output wattage, and temperature derating before the order is released.
Selection Guide
1. Anchor the order on hardwired AC input
Choose PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L when the industrial panel uses AC 100-240V input and the BOM requires a hardwired DIN-rail PoE supply rather than a plug-in IEC power module.
2. Do not substitute the IEC 240W model by wattage alone
Use PWR-IE240W-AC-IEC only when the cabinet wiring expects the IEC C16 plug-in version. Matching the 240W rating does not make the input connection interchangeable.
3. Move up only when the PoE budget requires it
Select PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L instead when Cisco power planning or the switch power table points to the 480W hardwired class. Keep PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L for the documented 240W AC supply requirement.
4. Verify temperature and site approval before allocation
Check vertical or horizontal mounting orientation, derating threshold, IP20 enclosure assumptions, and the non-hazardous-location note before assigning the spare to an industrial cabinet.

Cisco-Confirmed Fact |
Quote Check |
|---|---|---|
|
Output class |
54VDC / 48-56VDC, 4.5A with 240W maximum output |
Size the switch and powered-device load against the 240W supply class |
|
DIN-rail PoE role |
Cisco states DIN-rail PSUs power DIN-rail switches for switching functions and PoE |
Confirm the selected PSU is rated for the PoE power needed from the switch |
|
IE3200 context |
Cisco lists PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L= as a 240W PoE-capable option in the Catalyst IE3200 power-supply table |
Match the supply to the IE3200 power plan before quoting |
|
IE2000 context |
Cisco lists PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L= as a 240W PoE-capable option and notes the switch-plus-PoE budget must stay within the power supply |
Keep base switch draw and connected PoE load inside the PSU class |
|
Temperature planning |
Cisco documents derating above 50C for vertical mounting and above 40C for horizontal mounting |
Check cabinet orientation and ambient temperature before assuming full output |

Control Point |
Cisco Evidence Needed |
Ordering Risk |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact PID |
PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L base SKU and PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L= ordering form |
Prevents the 240W hardwired AC supply from being mixed with IEC or 480W variants |
|
Input feed |
AC 100-240V/3.5A at 50-60Hz with AC 90-264V supported input range |
Avoids placing the AC-only PSU into a low-DC or high-DC cabinet design |
|
Output class |
54VDC / 48-56VDC, 4.5A and 240W maximum output |
Keeps PoE planning separate from the 170W and 480W DIN-rail classes |
|
Installation style |
Hardwired DIN-rail input connection and IP20 rating |
Separates this part from the IEC C16 plug-in 240W model and from higher enclosure-rating assumptions |
|
Temperature derating |
Vertical derating above 50C and horizontal derating above 40C |
Prevents full-power assumptions in hot cabinets |
|
Site compliance |
Cisco notes this SKU is not approved for hazardous-location installations |
Avoids assigning the spare to a site that requires hazardous-location certification |
|
Platform table |
IE2000 and Catalyst IE3200 tables list the SKU as a PoE-capable power-supply option |
Keeps the purchase record tied to a Cisco-documented industrial switch context |
