Cisco PWR-C1-350WAC/2 Full Official Product Description

1. Part Number & Naming Definition

Official Full Name

Naming Breakdown

• PWR: Modular power supply unit
• C1: Config 1 standard form factor for Catalyst 3850 switch chassis
• 350W: Maximum rated DC output power of 350 Watts
• AC: Universal alternating current mains input
• /2: Secondary / spare commercial variant, electrically and mechanically interchangeable with base PWR-C1-350WAC

Critical Note: This unit shares identical electrical specifications, form factor and pinout with standard PWR-C1-350WAC. It isprimarily qualified for Catalyst 3850 series, while supported for low-load non-PoE C9300 deployments. Not a Platinum efficiency model; distinguish from PWR-C1-350WAC-P.

Deployment Guidance: For PoE-enabled switches, calculate total power budget; this 350W PSU only supplies limited power budget for IEEE 802.3af/at powered endpoints.
