Description

The Cisco C9400-LC-48TX is a high-density 48-port multigigabit line card for the Catalyst 9400 Series modular chassis, delivering non-PoE data connectivity at speeds up to 10GBASE-T. Each RJ-45 port auto-negotiates 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, or 10G speeds, providing flexible deployment for bandwidth-intensive campus environments. With up to 480Gbps per-slot throughput when paired with C9400X-SUP-2XL supervisors, this line card is ideal for high-performance enterprise networks requiring secure, scalable copper connectivity without Power over Ethernet.

Features

Multigigabit Ethernet supporting 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T auto-negotiation per port
- Non-blocking, line-rate forwarding for consistent application performance
- Hardware-based MACsec-256 encryption for secure Layer 2 data transmission
- Hot-swappable design with front-panel LEDs for operational status monitoring

FAQs

Q: Does the C9400-LC-48TX support Power over Ethernet?
A: No, the C9400-LC-48TX is a data-only line card and does not provide PoE. For PoE requirements, consider the C9400-LC-48UX (UPOE) or C9400-LC-48HX (UPOE+) line cards.

Q: What cable category is recommended for 10G speeds?
A: Cat6a or Cat7 cabling is recommended for reliable 10GBASE-T operation. Lower category cables (Cat5e/Cat6) may result in downgraded link speeds to 1G, 2.5G, or 5G depending on cable quality and length.

Q: Which supervisor modules are compatible with this line card?
A: The C9400-LC-48TX 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. Maximum bandwidth varies by supervisor model.

Q: Can I hot-swap this line card without powering down the chassis?
A: Yes, all Catalyst 9400 line cards support Online Insertion and Removal (OIR). The chassis automatically detects and configures the line card without requiring a system reboot.

Q: What is the typical use case for this line card?
A: The C9400-LC-48TX is ideal for high-bandwidth enterprise edge deployments, campus access layer connections, and workgroup environments requiring multigigabit copper connectivity for devices with dedicated power sources such as Wi-Fi 6/6E access points with local power or high-performance wired endpoints.
