Introducing Catalyst 9200CX
C9200CX series switches built on industry leading Catalyst 9000 switching attributes. Highlights of the switch:
 
  • Expanding Catalyst 9200 capabilities to 8 and 12 port compact switches in a compact fan less form factor
  • Seamlessly upgrading of existing C2960CX and C3560CX
  • Adding new capabilities like SDA edge node (16VNs), full flexible netflow, and AES 256-bit MACsec

C9200CX-12P-2X2G, C9200CX-12T-2X2G and C9200CX-8P-2X2G are orderable in CCW now!

 
 
 
 
Introducing Catalyst 9300LM
C9300LM expand Catalyst 9300 Series reach to reduced depth cabinet and provide the same services as headquarters. Highlights of this switch:
 
  • Bringing the feature set of the industry leading C9300L series switches for customers with reduced depth cabinets in their compact campuses and branches.
  • A Replacement for the C3650 mini switches
  • Adding 60W UPOE ports, 25G uplink speeds, 256-bit MACSec and App Hosting for SLA critical apps such as ThousandEyes.

General Orderability will be enabled in Q2FY23

 
 
 
 
Introducing Catalyst C9600X-LC-32CD

The new C9600X-LC-32CD line card further extends the capabilities of the Supervisor 2. This is Industry's most versatile line card for performance, speed and high density 100G/400G connectivity. It offers cutting edge QSFP-DD form factor ports for backward compatibility to 40G / 100G and investment protection.

Coupled with Cisco Silicon One based SUP2, this line cards supports new use cases for application connectivity to cloud, over WAN and Time sensitive networks.
 
 
 
 


Highlights of this line card:

  • Paired with C9600X-SUP-2 (3.2 Tbps bandwidth), this line card provides up to 30 ports of 100/40 GE, 2 ports of 400/200/100/40 GE non blocking
  • 100/40GE QSFP28, 400/200/100/40 GE QSFP-DD ports
  • IPv6 support on the Cisco Silicon One ASIC , providing wire-rate forwarding for IPv6 networks
  • Support for IEEE 1588 & PTPv2 (Precision Time Protocol)
  • Advanced Encryption Standard 256 (AES-256) support with the powerful MACsec and WAN MACsec encryption algorithm.

The C9600X-LC-32CD is orderable now!

 
 
 
Introducing Alternate Power Supply for C9500 High Performance: C9K-PWR-650WACL-R
 
 

Alternate 650W AC power supply (C9K-PWR-650WACL-R) has been introduced to help alleviate supply chain issues and improve overall lead times for the following C9500 high performance switch models – C9500-24Y4C/32QC/48Y4C. C9K-PWR-650WACL-R is optional selection in CCW and there will be no impact for existing orders.

Introducing 3KW Power Supply for C9600
- C9600-PWR-3KWAC
 
 

The new 3KW Power Supply for the Cisco Catalyst 9606R Switches has been introduced to provide power redundancy of n+n or n+1 in a fully loaded chassis with various supervisor and line card combinations at a low line nominal voltage of 110 VAC which wasn’t possible previously with 2KW Power Supplies.


While the existing 2KW Power Supply could provide n+n or n+1 redundancy only with 220V Input, the 3KW Power Supply will provide redundancy with both 110 VAC and 220 VAC. The 3KW Power Supply will also provide higher power availability which might be needed for future high-power Supervisors and Line Cards. This Power Supply Unit is also optimal to address higher power requirements for innovations in Coherent Optics with 100G/ 400G ZR and ZR+.
