FAQs

Q: What devices can the C9400-LC-48U power with UPOE?
A: The C9400-LC-48U supports UPOE at up to 60W per port, enabling it to power high-demand devices such as Wi-Fi 6 access points, PTZ security cameras, IP phones, video conferencing endpoints, thin clients, and building automation systems without requiring separate power infrastructure.

Q: Which Catalyst 9400 chassis models are compatible with this line card?
A: The C9400-LC-48U is compatible with all Catalyst 9400 Series chassis models, including the C9404R (4-slot), C9407R (7-slot), and C9410R (10-slot). It occupies one slot per line card and can be mixed with other Catalyst 9400 line cards in the same chassis.

Q: What is the maximum bandwidth per slot for the C9400-LC-48U?
A: Bandwidth depends on the supervisor engine: 480 Gbps per slot with C9400X-SUP-2XL, 240 Gbps with C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400-SUP-1XL/1XL-Y, and 80 Gbps with C9400-SUP-1. This ensures line-rate performance for Gigabit Ethernet traffic across all 48 ports.

Q: Does the C9400-LC-48U require a separate software license?
A: The C9400-LC-48U line card itself does not require a separate license. However, advanced software features on the Catalyst 9400 switch (such as Cisco DNA Advantage or Premier) require appropriate licensing on the supervisor engine for full SD-Access, automation, and analytics capabilities.

Q: Can the C9400-LC-48U support multigigabit Ethernet speeds?
A: No, the C9400-LC-48U supports standard 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet only. For multigigabit (2.5G/5G/10G) support, consider the C9400-LC-48UX line card, which includes 24 ports of multigigabit UPOE+ capability.
