PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L Description
PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L is a Cisco Industrial DIN-rail 480W AC-to-DC PoE power supply for powering compatible industrial Ethernet switch installations, with Cisco platform context for IE 4000, Catalyst IE3400, and IE3500 deployments. It uses a hardwired AC input, accepts a 90-264VAC input range, provides 54VDC output at 8.9A with 480W maximum output power, and is specified as an IP20 supply for -40C to +75C operating environments with derating rules.

Application Scenarios
PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L fits industrial PoE cabinets where the power design needs the 480W AC-input DIN-rail supply class rather than the lower 240W or 170W lines.
Cisco lists PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L= in the IE 4000 power-supply table with 480W output and PoE/PoE+ support, with the switch and powered-device load kept inside the supply budget.
For ruggedized access builds, Cisco IE3400, IE3500, and MS130R documentation provide accessory or power-supply context for this 480W unit, so the quote should tie the spare to the documented platform rather than a generic PSU pool.

- In a PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L vs PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L comparison, both are hardwired AC-input DIN-rail PoE supplies, but the 480W model doubles the maximum output class from 240W to 480W.
- The PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L difference from PWR-IE400W-AC-IEC is termination and output class: the 480W model is hardwired, while the 400W model uses an IEC plug-in connector and a 400W output rating.
- For a PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L vs PWR-IE170W-PC-AC comparison, the main difference is power capacity. PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L is a 480W AC-input supply, while PWR-IE170W-PC-AC is a 170W AC or high-DC input supply.
- Buyers comparing which model to choose should verify input wiring, output wattage, connector style, IP20 envelope, and hazardous-location approval status in the comparison table.
Selection Guide
1. Choose the 480W line for larger PoE budgets
Select PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L when the Cisco industrial switch power plan requires the 480W AC-input supply class and the cabinet is wired for hardwired DIN-rail power.
2. Use the 240W hardwired model for smaller loads
Move the order to PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L only when the documented power budget fits the 240W AC-input class and the same hardwired DIN-rail style is required.
3. Keep IEC plug-in requirements separate
Compare PWR-IE400W-AC-IEC when the installation expects an IEC 60320 C16 plug-in power supply rather than the hardwired PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L design.
4. Check the installation approval boundary
Review IP20 enclosure assumptions, derating above Cisco’s temperature thresholds, and the no hazardous-location or smart-grid certification note before adding this SKU to the quote.
