The power supply specification for the Cisco C9610 switch.

These sections describe the 2000W AC, 2000W DC, and 3000W AC power supply specifications and the supported AC power cords.


2000W AC-input power supply specifications

This section describes the specifications of C9600-PWR-2KWAC.

Table 1. 2000W AC-input power supply specifications
Specification Description

AC-input type

Wide-ranging input with power factor correction.

Note
Power factor correction is a standard feature on AC-input power supplies. Power factor correction reduces the reactive component in the source AC current, allowing higher power factors and lower harmonic current components.

AC-input voltage

Low-line (115 VAC nominal)—90 VAC (min) to 140 VAC (max)

High-line (230 VAC nominal)—180 VAC (min) to 264 VAC (max)

AC-input current

12A at 115 VAC

10A at 230 VAC

AC-input frequency

50/60Hz nominal (47 to 63Hz full range)

Branch circuit requirement

Each chassis power supply should have its own dedicated, fused-branch circuit:

  • North America—15 A.

  • International—Circuits sized to local and national codes.

  • All AC power supply inputs are fully isolated.

    • Source AC can be out-of-phase between multiple power supplies in the same chassis, which means that PS1 can be operating from phase A and PS2 can be operating from phase B.

    • For high-line operation, the power supply operates with the line conductor wired to a source AC phase, and the neutral conductor wired either to a neutral, single-phase power system, or to another source AC phase as long as the net input voltage is in the range of 180 to 264 VAC.

Power supply output

  • 100 to 120 VAC operation

    • 12V output—1050W

  • 200 to 240 VAC operation

    • 12V output—2000W

Output holdup time

20 ms minimum with 1200W output

kVA rating (kilovolt-amperes is the measure of apparent power in electrical systems, indicating the total power output.) 1

2 kVA maximum (total output power)

Heat dissipation (in British Thermal Units [BTU])

683 BTU per hour

Weight

2.60 lb (1.18 kg)

1 The kVA rating listed for the power supply should be used as the sizing criteria for both UPS outputs as well as standard circuits and transformers to power a switch
