Cisco C9400-LC-48UX Catalyst 9400 Series 48-Port OPOE Line Card

Cisco C9400-LC-48UX Catalyst 9400 Series 48-Port Line Card

Advanced persistent security threats, the exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices, mobility everywhere and cloud adoption require a network fabric that integrates advanced hardware and software innovations to automate, secure, and simplify customer networks. The goal of this network fabric is to enable customer revenue growth by accelerating business service rollout.

The CiscoDigital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) with Software Defined Access (SD-Access) is the most advanced network fabric to power customer business. Cisco DNA is an open and extensible, software-driven architecture that accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations. The programmable architecture frees your IT staff from time-consuming, repetitive network configuration tasks so they can focus instead on innovation that positively transforms your business. SDAccess enables policy-based automation from edge to cloud with foundational capabilities that include:

• Simplified device deployment
• Unified management of wired and wireless networks
• Network virtualization and segmentation
• Group-based policies
• Context-based analytics

The Cisco Catalyst9400 Series is Ciscos lead modular enterprise switching access platform built for security, IoT and cloud. Thisswitch series forms the foundational building blocks for SD-Access Ciscos leading enterprise architecture. Theplatform provides unparalleled investment protection with a chassis architecture that is capable of supporting up to 9Tbps of system bandwidth and unmatched power delivery for high density IEEE 802.3BT (60WPoE). Redundancy is now table stakes across the portfolio. The Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series delivers state-of-the-art High Availability (HA) with capabilities like SSO/NSF, uplink resiliency, N+1/N+N redundancy for power supplies. The platform is enterprise optimized with an innovative dualserviceable fan tray design, side to side airflow and is closet-friendly with ~16 depth. A single system can scale up to 384 access ports with your choice of 1G copper, Cisco UPOE and PoE+ options. The platform also supports advanced routing and infrastructure services, SD-Access capabilities and network system virtualization. These features enable optional placement of the platform in the core and aggregation layers of small to medium-sized campus environments.

Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series line cards

The Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series offers Multigigabit Ethernet, Cisco UPOE, data, and 10G fiber line cards.

Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 48-Port UPOE 10/100/1000 (RJ-45) line card (C9400-LC-48U)

The UPOE line card supports PoE, PoE+, and Cisco UPOE to deliver 15W, 30W, or 60W to the access point. 60W of inline power can power more devicesincluding IP phones, IPTVs, surveillance cameras, virtual desktop clients, and many otherswithout having to install extra wall or ceiling circuits while taking advantage of advanced power management capabilities such as Cisco EnergyWise.

Features

• 48 ports nonblocking
• 10/100/1000 module (RJ-45)
• Supported on Cisco IOS XE Software Release 16.6.1 or later
• Cisco UPOE is enabled, capable of up to 60W on all ports in the line card
• Energy Efficient Ethernet 802.3az
• IEEE 802.3af/at and Cisco pre-standard PoE
• IEEE 802.1AE and Cisco TrustSec capability in hardware (software roadmap)
• Hardware ready for IEEE1588/802.1AS and PTP used for time synchronization across the network for applications such as video and audio (software roadmap)
• Layer 2 to Layer 4 Jumbo Frame support up to 9198 bytes
• Enterprise and commercial design to power next-generation IP phones, wireless base stations, video cameras, virtual desktop clients, and other PoE and Cisco UPOE devices
• Ideal for campus and branch applications requiring enhanced performance for large file transfers and network backups

Power over Ethernet

The Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series offers line cards, power supplies, and accessories required to deploy and operate standards-based Power over Ethernet, Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE/PoE+) and Cisco UPOE. PoE provides power over 100 m of standard Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cables when an IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant or Cisco pre-standard powered device is attached to the PoE/PoE+ and Cisco UPOE line card port. Instead of requiring wall power, attached devices such as IP phones, wireless base stations, video cameras, and other IEEE-compliant appliances can use power provided from the Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series UPOE line cards. This capability gives network administrators centralized control over power and eliminates the need to install outlets in ceilings and other out-of-the-way places where a powered device can be installed.

Although all references to PoE/PoE+/UPOE, inline power, and voice power supplies and line cards are synonymous, there are currently four versions: Cisco pre-standard, IEEE 802.3af compliant, IEEE 802.3at compliant, and Cisco UPOE. Every Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series chassis and PoE power supply supports the IEEE 802.3af/at standard and the Cisco pre-standard power implementation, helping ensure backward compatibility with existing devices powered by Cisco. All IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant and Cisco UPOE line cards can distinguish an IEEE or Cisco pre-standard powered device from an unpowered Network Interface Card (NIC), helping ensure that power is applied only when an appropriate device is connected.

Energy Efficient Ethernet

Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is an IEEE 802.3az standard that is designed to reduce power consumption in Ethernet networks during idle periods.

EEE can be enabled on devices that support Low Power Idle (LPI) mode. Such devices can save power by entering LPI mode during periods of low utilization. In LPI mode, systems on both ends of the link can save power by shutting down certain services. EEE provides the protocol needed to transition into and out of LPI mode in a way that is transparent to upper layer protocols and applications.
