Cisco C9606R is the exact product number for the Catalyst 9600 Series 6 Slot Chassis. It is an 8-RU modular chassis with four line-card slots and two dedicated supervisor slots numbered 3 and 4.
The chassis supports C9600-SUP-1 and C9600X-SUP-2 supervisor engines. Cisco documents up to 2.4 Tbps per slot with SUP-1 and up to 6.4 Tbps per slot with SUP-2; the chassis platform can reach up to 25.6 Tbps wired switching capacity. Capacity therefore depends on the selected supervisor, line cards and software release rather than on the empty chassis alone.
C9606R provides four power-supply bays and one fan-tray bay. Supported power options include 3000W AC, 2000W AC and 2000W DC. Cisco requires at least two power supplies, or at least three for a fully loaded chassis on 110V input. The C9606-FAN tray contains nine redundant fans and the chassis uses side-to-side airflow.
C9606R identifies the chassis, not a fully assembled switch. A deployable Catalyst 9600 system also needs one or two compatible supervisors, at least one line card, a fan tray, at least two suitable power supplies, software and any required optics or accessories. Confirm every included PID on the quotation instead of assuming those components are bundled with the chassis record.
