Cisco PWR-C5-1KWAC= — 1000 W AC Power Supply for Catalyst 9200 / 9200L PoE Switches
1000 W ACCatalyst 9200 / 9200L 48PHot-swappable redundantUp to 1440 W PoE with two
The Cisco PWR-C5-1KWAC= is the 1000 W AC power supply module (spare) for the 48-port PoE+ models of the Cisco Catalyst 9200 and 9200L switch families. Network teams use it to replace a failed unit, add a second redundant supply, or raise the PoE budget available to cameras, access points and phones.
It accepts 100–240 V AC and delivers up to 1000 W at 54 V. On the Catalyst 9200L 48-port PoE models, Cisco quotes 740 W of PoE with one 1000 W supply and 1440 W with two. The module slides into the rear power bay; a redundant (second) module is hot-swappable.
Before you order: Only for 48-port PoE models: C9200-48P, C9200-48PB, C9200-48PXG and C9200L-48P-4G, C9200L-48P-4X, C9200L-48PXG-4X, C9200L-48PXG-2Y. Other Catalyst 9200 models (24-port, data-only T models) reject it as incompatible and switch it off.
What's in the Box
- Cisco PWR-C5-1KWAC= 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
- Adding a second 1000 W supply to a C9200L-48P raises the PoE budget from 740 W to 1440 W — enough to power far more PoE+ access points and cameras.
- Two supplies also give power redundancy: if one fails, the switch keeps running and the failed module can be swapped without downtime.
- Both power bays must be filled with a supply or a blank cover — do not leave a bay open for more than 90 seconds while the switch is running.
- On the non-L Catalyst 9200, Cisco allows mixing the PWR-C5 and PWR-C6 variants in slots A and B; on the 9200L, only PWR-C5 supplies are supported.
What Will Not Work
- Not compatible with Catalyst 9200/9200L 24-port or non-PoE (T) models — they need a different wattage supply.
- Will not fit Catalyst 9300 (PWR-C1-* supplies) or Catalyst 9400 chassis.
- Not a DC supply — for -48 V DC sites a different Cisco module is required.
- Cannot be used outside the switch as a standalone power supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix this with the PWR-C5-600WAC?
Cisco requires supplies matching the switch model's wattage; the 48-port PoE models use the 1000 W unit. Send us your switch model and we confirm the right pair.
Is it hot-swappable?
The redundant module is hot-swappable; with a single supply, the switch powers down when it is removed.
How much PoE do I get?
On the C9200L 48-port PoE models Cisco quotes 740 W with one supply and 1440 W with two.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Before ordering, read the model label on the switch: the PWR-C5-1KWAC= belongs only in 48-port PoE Catalyst 9200/9200L units. A second module is the cheapest way to double the PoE budget and remove a single point of failure. More switching hardware in our
network switches section.
✓ Buy it if you run a 48-port PoE Catalyst 9200/9200L and need a replacement, redundancy or more PoE budget.
✕ Skip it if your switch is a 24-port or non-PoE 9200, or a Catalyst 9300/9400.
→ Also consider PWR-C1-1100WAC-P= for Catalyst 9300 switches.
Send us the exact model and serial label of your Catalyst switch and we will confirm compatibility and power-cord type before you order.
