Cisco PWR-C5-BLANK Full English Official Product Description
Product Overview
The Cisco PWR-C5-BLANK is an official power supply slot filler blank panel designed for Cisco Catalyst 9200 and Catalyst 9200L Series switches equipped with C5 power supply slots. It serves as a replacement cover for vacant power module bays when only a single power supply is deployed inside the switch chassis. This mechanical accessory maintains chassis integrity without providing power conversion functionality.
Key Features
-
Standard hot-pluggable form factor matching all PWR-C5 series power supply modules
-
Installs securely into empty power supply slots with integrated locking latches
-
Preserves designed internal chassis airflow path for proper thermal cooling
-
Blocks dust, debris and foreign objects from entering the switch internal enclosure
-
Ensures electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance of the fully closed chassis
-
Lightweight, durable metal construction consistent with Cisco hardware standards
-
Simple tool-free insertion and removal during on-site maintenance
Hardware Compatibility
Exclusive compatible with Catalyst 9200 and Catalyst 9200L switches supporting PWR-C5 family power supplies. It occupies the secondary power bay in single-power non-redundant deployments. When redundant dual power supplies are required, this blank panel must be removed to install an additional AC or DC power module.
Deployment Purpose
Network administrators deploy PWR-C5-BLANK for non-redundant power configurations. Removing the blank without replacement disrupts chassis airflow, raises operating temperatures and may void safety and EMC certifications. This filler panel is commonly pre-installed on switches ordered with only one factory power supply.
Typical Application Scenarios
Enterprise fixed-power access switch deployments, non-redundant campus network cabinets, remote site network hardware, network equipment staging, and standard IT infrastructure maintenance following Cisco installation best practices.
Additional Note
PWR-C5-BLANK is a passive mechanical accessory. It contains no electronic components, power circuits or cooling devices.
