FAQs

Q: What is the difference between C9400-LC-48H and C9400-LC-48H-UL?
A: The C9400-LC-48H-UL is the unlicensed variant, meaning it inherits licensing from the chassis supervisor engine rather than requiring a separate DNA license. Functionally, both line cards offer identical hardware specifications with 48 UPOE+ ports at 90W per port.

Q: Can this line card power Wi-Fi 6E access points?
A: Yes, the C9400-LC-48H-UL delivers up to 90W per port via UPOE+ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), which is ideal for powering high-performance Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E access points that require more than the standard 30W PoE+ can provide.

Q: Which Catalyst 9400 chassis support this line card?
A: The C9400-LC-48H-UL is compatible with all Catalyst 9400 Series chassis: C9404R (4-slot), C9407R (7-slot), and C9410R (10-slot). Maximum port density ranges from 96 ports in the C9404R to 384 ports in the C9410R.

Q: What bandwidth does this line card support?
A: Bandwidth per slot varies by supervisor engine: 480Gbps with C9400X-SUP-2XL, 240Gbps with C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400-SUP-1XL/1XL-Y, and 80Gbps with C9400-SUP-1. This ensures non-blocking performance for all 48 Gigabit ports.

Q: Does this line card support MACsec encryption?
A: Yes, the C9400-LC-48H-UL features hardware-based MACsec-256 encryption capabilities, providing Layer 2 security for data in transit across the network fabric when used with compatible supervisor engines.
