Power and heat values

Updated: February 5, 2026

Overview

Describes the power requirements, heat dissipation for the fan tray, line cards, and the supervisor modules of Cisco C9610 switches.

These tables provide the power and heat dissipation data. Unless otherwise noted, the information in the tables is measured under fully loaded conditions (with transceivers installed).

Table 1. Fan tray power requirements and heat dissipation
PID	AC-input power in Watts	DC-output in Watts	Current @ 90V	Current @ 120V	Current @ 180V	Current @ 240V	Heat Diss. in BTU / hr.
C9610-FAN	1111	1000	12.4	9.3	6.2	4.7	3791

Table 2. Line card power requirements and heat dissipation
