FAQs

Q: What chassis models are compatible with the C9400-LC-24XS?
A: The C9400-LC-24XS line card is compatible with all Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series chassis, including C9404R (4-slot), C9407R (7-slot), and C9410R (10-slot) models. It occupies one line card slot and requires a compatible supervisor engine.

Q: Can this line card support both 1G and 10G connections simultaneously?
A: Yes, each SFP+ port on the C9400-LC-24XS can support either 1G SFP or 10G SFP+ transceivers, allowing flexible deployment and phased migration from Gigabit to 10 Gigabit Ethernet within the same line card.

Q: Does this line card support Power over Ethernet?
A: No, the C9400-LC-24XS does not support PoE. It is designed specifically for high-density fiber connectivity using SFP+ optics. If you require PoE functionality, consider alternative Catalyst 9400 line cards with PoE capabilities.

Q: What is the maximum bandwidth per slot and does it vary by supervisor?
A: The C9400-LC-24XS delivers up to 480 Gbps of line-rate bandwidth per slot when paired with Supervisor Engine 2XL. Bandwidth capacity may vary depending on the specific supervisor engine installed in your chassis.

Q: What are the typical use cases for this line card?
A: This line card is ideal for enterprise campus aggregation, data center edge connectivity, high-speed fiber-to-the-desktop deployments, service provider FTTX applications, and network core/distribution layers requiring line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance.
