Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 48-Port Line Card Plug-In Switch

The Cisco C9400-LC-48U= is a line card for Catalyst 9400 Series switches that adds 48 auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports to the chassis. Each port delivers Universal Power over Ethernet up to 60 W, so a single cable can provide both data and power to IP phones, surveillance cameras, wireless access points, and many IoT sensors. This capability simplifies installation and removes the need for separate power injectors.

Built to work with Cisco SD-Access, the card brings policy-based automation and secure segmentation to the wired network. When paired with the Catalyst 9400 switching fabric, it supports as much as 9 Tbps of total system bandwidth, ensuring smooth performance for growing traffic loads and future application demands.

The plug-in design allows quick expansion or replacement without taking down the entire switch, which protects existing investments and minimizes downtime. Combined with the inherent redundancy of the Catalyst 9400 platform, the card contributes to high availability in mission-critical environments.

This versatility makes the C9400-LC-48U= an excellent choice for enterprise campuses, branch offices, healthcare facilities, and educational settings that rely on large numbers of powered devices. Whether you are expanding a VoIP deployment, adding high-definition cameras, or increasing wireless coverage, the module supplies both the connectivity and power you need.
