Cisco Catalyst C9400-LC-12QC

The Cisco C9400-LC-12QC is a 12-port 40G QSFP+ line card for the Cisco Catalyst 9400 chassis running IOS XE, with the distinctive ability to be reconfigured as 24 ports of 10G SFP+ via breakout cables. This deployment flexibility — native 40G or 10G fan-out — makes it the most versatile aggregation solution in the 9400 line, allowing network topology to be adapted without swapping cards. The modular network slot further extends connectivity options.

Ideal for campus distribution or aggregation nodes where 40G links to core equipment coexist with 10G connections to servers or access switches, the C9400-LC-12QC reduces the number of cards required in the chassis. It targets network architects looking to consolidate network layers. Genuine Cisco hardware, manufacturer warranty.
