CISCO C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R Catalyst 9500 Series Switches

C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R Product Identity

Cisco documents C9K-PWR-1600WAC-R as a 1600W AC power-supply module supported by the C9500-32C High Performance switch. The chassis has two power-supply slots, and Cisco describes its internal power modules as field-replaceable and hot-swappable.

Single AC Module Boundary

This SKU is the individual AC module entry. The Catalyst 9500 ordering guide lists C9K-PWR-1600WACR/2 separately as the redundant 1600W AC option. Confirm whether the purchase is for a field replacement, a spare or a complete redundant configuration before quoting.

AC Site and Service Checks

Cisco states that an AC-input supply is grounded through its connected power cable. The 1600W module uses a bi-color status LED: solid green indicates normal auxiliary and main output, while solid amber indicates a critical error with the main output off. Confirm the correct regional power cord, source capacity, switch PID and existing PSU inventory before installation.

• Use with the Cisco-listed C9500-32C platform context.
• Verify AC source and regional cord requirements.
• Keep a blank cover installed if the second power slot remains empty.
• Do not substitute the redundant /2 ordering option without checking the bill of materials.
