Description

The Cisco C9400-LC-48XS is a high-density 48-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet line card designed for the Catalyst 9400 Series modular chassis. It supports both 10G SFP+ and 1G SFP transceivers on all ports, enabling flexible migration from Gigabit to 10 Gigabit speeds. Ideal for enterprise core, distribution, and aggregation deployments requiring high-performance fiber connectivity, this non-PoE line card delivers up to 480 Gbps bandwidth per slot with the C9400X-SUP-2XL supervisor.

Features

48 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ with 1G SFP backward compatibility
- Non-blocking architecture with up to 480 Gbps per slot throughput (with C9400X-SUP-2XL)
- Hot-swappable (OIR) for zero-downtime maintenance and upgrades
- Line-rate MACsec encryption for data-in-transit security
- Jumbo frame support for optimized large packet forwarding
- Flexible deployment for core, distribution, or access layer fiber aggregation
- Compatible with all Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series chassis and supervisors
- Supports multi-mode (OM3/OM4) and single-mode fiber optics
- Managed via Cisco IOS XE with CLI, web GUI, SNMP, and NETCONF/YANG
- Embedded RFID tags for asset tracking and inventory management
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support
- Advanced QoS, ACL, and Layer 2/Layer 3 feature support via supervisor engine
- Supports Cisco StackWise Virtual for increased port density and redundancy
- Designed for enterprise, mid-market, service provider, and data center environments

FAQs

Q: Can I use both 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ modules on this line card simultaneously?
A: Yes, the C9400-LC-48XS supports both 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ transceivers on the same line card without restrictions. Ports auto-negotiate speed, enabling seamless migration from Gigabit to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Q: Which Catalyst 9400 chassis and supervisor engines are compatible?
A: The C9400-LC-48XS is compatible with all Catalyst 9400 Series chassis (C9404R, C9407R, C9410R) and all supervisor engines (C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2, C9400X-SUP-2XL). Bandwidth per slot varies by supervisor: 480 Gbps with SUP-2XL, 240 Gbps with SUP-2 or SUP-1XL/1XL-Y, and 80 Gbps with SUP-1.

Q: Does this line card support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: No, the C9400-LC-48XS is a non-PoE line card designed for high-density 10G fiber aggregation. For PoE deployments, consider the Catalyst 9400 PoE line cards such as the C9400-LC-48UX or C9400-LC-48H.

Q: What are typical use cases for the C9400-LC-48XS?
A: This line card is ideal for enterprise core and distribution layers, campus backbone aggregation, data center access, and service provider applications requiring high-density 10G fiber connectivity. It supports phased migration from 1G to 10G and scalable fiber expansion.

Q: Is MACsec encryption supported on this line card?
A: Yes, the C9400-LC-48XS supports line-rate MACsec-256 encryption when used with compatible supervisors and the appropriate Cisco IOS XE software release and licensing, providing enhanced security for sensitive data in transit.
