Cisco PWR-C5-1KWAC Full Official Product Description
1. Part Number & Naming Definition
Official Full Name
Cisco 1000-Watt Hot-Swappable AC Power Supply Module (Config 5 Form Factor)
SKU:PWR-C5-1KWAC
Naming Breakdown
-
PWR: Modular power supply unit
-
C5: Config 5 form factor exclusively built for Catalyst 9200 / C9200L fixed switch chassis
-
1KWAC: 1000 Watt rated alternating current input power supply
Critical Note: Compatible spare variantPWR-C5-1KWAC/2is electrically and mechanically identical. AC and DC power suppliescannot be mixedwithin the same chassis. This PSU is mandatory for 48-port high-density PoE C9200/C9200L switch models.
2. Core Architecture
The PWR-C5-1KWAC is a hot‑swappable AC-DC switching power module equipped with integrated temperature-controlled variable-speed cooling fan. It converts universal 100–240 VAC autoranging mains input to regulated 54 VDC output to power switch mainboard, internal fans and high-density PoE loads. It supports parallel 1+1 redundant deployment and automatic load sharing inside compatible switch chassis. Embedded protection circuits deliver overvoltage (OVP), overcurrent (OCP), overtemperature (OTP) and short‑circuit auto‑recovery protection.
Deployment Guidance: Delivers sufficient power budget for IEEE 802.3af (PoE), IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) endpoints including Wi-Fi 6/6E wireless access points, multi-line IP phones and high-power IP surveillance cameras. Designed specifically for C9200 series 48-port PoE platforms.
Core Product Positioning
The Cisco PWR-C5-1KWAC is a field-replaceable hot‑swappable AC power supply designed for enterprise Catalyst 9200 and C9200L high-density PoE access switches. Suitable as primary or redundant power source for 48-port PoE switch deployments. Dual PSU installation eliminates single point of failure and enables live power module replacement without switch shutdown. Widely deployed in enterprise campus networks, medium-to-large scale PoE access layers and mission-critical branch office switching infrastructures built on Catalyst 9200 family switches.
