Description

The Cisco PWR-C1-715WAC-P is a high-capacity, platinum-rated AC power supply module made for Catalyst 9300 and 3850 series switches. It delivers up to 715 watts with autoranging input (100-240 VAC), thus fitting varied electrical environments. Moreover, this module supports hot-plug and redundant operation, allowing replacement without powering down the switch. Because of its compact size and robust design, it integrates easily into high-availability access-layer setups.

Key Features & Benefits (Cisco PWR-C1-715WAC-P)

• High power capacity: Provides 715 W output, so switches with many PoE+ or UPOE endpoints stay powered.
• Auto ranging AC input: Works with 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz — therefore usable in many global sites without voltage concerns.
• Hot-plug & Redundancy: Module is hot-swappable, so you can add or replace it without disrupting network service.
• Platinum Efficiency Rating: Meets high efficiency standards, which reduces power waste and cooling demands.
• Wide compatibility: Designed for many Catalyst 9300 / 3850 models — including full-PoE, mixed PoE, and fixed/stacked switches.

Use Cases:

• Powering dense access-layer devices: Use where many ports require PoE+ or UPOE, such as wireless APs, cameras, or badge systems.
• Ensuring uptime through redundancy: Install as secondary PSU so failures or maintenance don’t bring down the switch.
• Deploying at varied global sites: Autoranging input lets you deploy in locations with 110V or 230V without extra transformers.
• Upgrading existing infrastructure: Swap in this module to raise power budget for existing switches without replacing entire units.
