C9400-LC-48H Use Case

High-Density Campus Aggregation for Scalable Enterprise LANs

In a multinational university deploying thousands of Wi-Fi 6 access points, VoIP handsets and IP security cameras, IT architects selected the C9400-LC-48H Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 48-Port UPOE+ 10/100/1000 (RJ-45) line card as their core aggregation switch. Delivering 48 PoE++ ports with up to 60 W per port, 480 Gbps switching capacity and redundant supervisory engines, this solution enabled seamless onboarding of next-gen endpoints, reduced power-over-Ethernet infrastructure by 30 percent and ensured 99.999 percent network availability—accelerating research data transfers and elevating campus security.

Converged Branch Office Access with Simplified PoE Management

A global retail chain consolidated local networks across 200 branch offices by deploying the C9400-LC-48H Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 48-Port UPOE+ 10/100/1000 (RJ-45) in regional data closets. Powering point-of-sale terminals, digital signage, wireless APs and surveillance cameras on a single platform, the UPOE+ card eliminated disparate PoE injectors, cut hardware costs by 25 percent and centralized power budgeting through Cisco DNA Center. This converged access strategy reduced mean time to resolution by 40 percent and provided a unified security policy at each location.

Smart Building IoT and Security Backbone for Modern Facilities

In a 50-story commercial skyscraper, facility managers deployed the C9400-LC-48H Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 48-Port UPOE+ 10/100/1000 (RJ-45) to power and connect thousands of IoT sensors, access-control panels and 4K surveillance cameras. With per-port power monitoring, dynamic power allocation and hot-swappable redundancy, the installation achieved a 35 percent reduction in cabling complexity and delivered real-time fault isolation. The result: streamlined preventive maintenance, enhanced building-wide security and a proven ROI within 18 months.
