Cisco Catalyst C9600-LC-48YL

The Cisco Catalyst C9600-LC-48YL (SKU: C9600-LC-48YL) is a line card for the Catalyst 9600 chassis offering 48 1/10/25 Gbps SFP28/SFP+ ports, with a total bandwidth of 2.4 Tbps. It operates under Cisco IOS XE 16.9.2 or later and includes support for IPv6, ACLs and quality of service. Unlike the 100G C9600-LC-24C card, this line card targets high-density 25G deployments, enabling a large number of servers or access switches to be connected within a single slot.

Its 48-port SFP28 format makes it ideal for server aggregation architectures in datacenters where 25G port density takes priority over per-port capacity. It effectively complements 100G cards in a mixed chassis configuration. Genuine Cisco hardware, manufacturer warranty.
