Cisco PWR-C1-1100WAC-P= — 1100 W AC Platinum Power Supply for Catalyst 9300
1100 W ACPlatinum-certifiedCatalyst 9300 / 9300L / 9300XHot-swappable
The Cisco PWR-C1-1100WAC-P= is the 1100 W AC Platinum-certified power supply module (spare) for Cisco Catalyst 9300, 9300L and 9300X switches. It is the default supply on the UPOE and high-PoE models and an upgrade option for the PoE+ C9300-24P/48P, used to replace a failed unit, add redundancy or increase the PoE budget.
It accepts 115–240 V AC (47–63 Hz) and delivers 1100 W. Cisco allows mixing Platinum, Titanium and non-certified PWR-C1 modules in the same switch, so it can sit next to an older PWR-C1-1100WAC. Modules are hot-swappable, with the usual caution that powered devices may drop when a supply is pulled under full PoE load.
Before you order: Not for Catalyst 9300LM — Cisco supports only PWR-C6 supplies there. Not for Catalyst 9200 (PWR-C5) or 9400 chassis.
What's in the Box
- Cisco PWR-C1-1100WAC-P= power supply module
- AC power cord: Cisco does not state whether the spare includes one — ask us and we confirm the plug type for your order
What It Means in Practice
- PoE with a single 1100 W supply, per Cisco: 822 W on C9300-48U/48H, 830 W on C9300-24U/24H, 890 W on C9300L-48PF, 735 W on C9300X-24HX.
- On a C9300-48P (PoE+), fitting this module as the upgrade supply gives a PoE budget of 822 W, per Cisco.
- Platinum certification means less wasted heat than the non-P PWR-C1-1100WAC at the same 1100 W output.
- On modular-uplink C9300/C9300X, StackPower lets supplies in a stack share power; the C9300L has no StackPower.
- Fill an empty bay with a blank cover to keep airflow correct.
What Will Not Work
- Not compatible with Catalyst 9300LM, 9200/9200L or 9400.
- Not a DC supply.
- Removing it from a single-supply switch under PoE load cuts power to connected devices — plan swaps with a redundant module installed.
- Not usable outside the switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference from PWR-C1-1100WAC=?
Same 1100 W output and size; the -P version is Platinum-certified, so it is more efficient and produces less heat.
Can I use it next to my existing 715 W supply?
Yes. Cisco allows mixing PWR-C1 modules of different certification levels in the same switch; the PoE budget then depends on the combination.
Does it work in a Catalyst 9300LM?
No. The 9300LM supports only PWR-C6 supplies.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
For Catalyst 9300 owners, this is the module that unlocks the full UPOE budget and the cleanest way to add redundancy. Check the model label first — 9300LM and 9200 units use different supplies. More switching hardware in our
network switches section.
✓ Buy it if you run a Catalyst 9300/9300L/9300X and need a replacement, redundancy or a higher PoE budget.
✕ Skip it if your switch is a 9300LM, a 9200 or a 9400 chassis.
→ Also consider PWR-C5-1KWAC= for Catalyst 9200 48-port PoE models.
