FAQs

Q: What is the maximum power output per port on the C9400-LC-48HX?
A: The C9400-LC-48HX supports UPOE+ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) and can deliver up to 90W per port across all 48 ports, making it ideal for high-power devices like Wi-Fi 6E access points, PTZ cameras, and digital displays.

Q: Which Catalyst 9400 supervisor engines are compatible with this line card?
A: The C9400-LC-48HX is compatible with all Catalyst 9400 supervisor engines including C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2, and C9400X-SUP-2XL. Bandwidth per slot varies by supervisor, with the latest C9400X-SUP-2XL providing 480Gbps per slot.

Q: What are the typical use cases for this line card?
A: The C9400-LC-48HX is designed for high-density enterprise campus access deployments, powering Wi-Fi 6/6E wireless infrastructure, smart building IoT devices, IP security cameras, digital signage, LED lighting, and collaboration endpoints that require high bandwidth and high power delivery.

Q: Does this line card support any uplink ports?
A: No, the C9400-LC-48HX is a 48-port access line card with no dedicated uplink ports. All 48 ports are multigigabit RJ-45 ports. Uplink connectivity is provided by other line cards in the Catalyst 9400 chassis or through dedicated uplink modules.

Q: What software license is required for the C9400-LC-48HX?
A: The C9400-LC-48HX supports both Network Essentials and Network Advantage software tiers on Cisco IOS XE. The license tier is assigned at the chassis/supervisor level, not per line card. A minimum of IOS XE 17.8.1 or later is required for this line card.
