C9400-LC-48HX is the 48-port 10G multigigabit UPOE+ Ethernet line card for Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series modular switches. It occupies one Catalyst 9400 line-card slot in C9404R, C9407R, or C9410R chassis and is supported only with Supervisor Engine 2 or Supervisor Engine 2XL hardware. The card presents RJ-45 copper access density for campus closets that need higher endpoint bandwidth, high inline power, and centralized chassis control in the same platform. Its proprietary Catalyst 9400 slot interface ties compatibility to Cisco switching hosts rather than standards-based PCIe or OCP server slots. The module targets access-layer endpoint handoff, not supervisor uplink expansion, so buyers match it to copper runs for wireless access points, cameras, displays, or work areas that stay on RJ-45. C9400-LC-48HN is the closest powered multigigabit sibling; it carries the same 48-port UPOE+ class but stops at 5G rather than adding the 10GBASE-T tier.
10GBASE-T, 5G/2.5G multigigabit, and 1000M/100M operation define the link-speed range across the access interfaces, while Cisco UPOE+ supplies up to 90W on every port for higher-draw powered endpoints. IEEE 802.3bt, IEEE 802.3at, IEEE 802.3af, Cisco UPOE, PoE+, and PoE support let the same line card serve multiple power classes from the chassis budget. C9400-LC-48HX supports Cisco IOS XE Software Release 17.8 or later. 480 Gbps per slot with C9400X-SUP-2XL provides 1:1 bandwidth on C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis, while C9400X-SUP-2 provides 240 Gbps per slot at 2:1 oversubscription. The PHY ports connect through a stub ASIC to the chassis backplane interface, and the stub ASIC does not participate in packet processing. IEEE 802.1AE MACsec-256 capability, Energy Efficient Ethernet 802.3az, jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes, and a 270W maximum rated power figure shape security, efficiency, frame-size, and cooling plans.
C9400-LC-48HX installs as a modular chassis line card, so deployment planning centers on the available payload slot, supervisor type, IOS XE release, backplane bandwidth, fan tray, and power supply budget rather than standalone switch configuration. The slot design also keeps replacement activity inside the Catalyst 9400 chassis workflow, with port migration, labeling, and PoE budgeting handled during the maintenance window. ORM Systems supplies this module in new and certified refurbished condition, with refurbished units checked through connector and pin inspection, chassis recognition, port testing, and PoE functional validation before dispatch. Request a quote for current availability, condition options, warranty coverage, and project lead time. Bulk projects can pair this card with other Catalyst 9400 copper or fiber line cards when a chassis build mixes endpoint access and upstream aggregation roles. For enterprise rollouts, volume sourcing supports fleet-wide Catalyst 9400 slot standardization, mixed line-card density planning, and spare-holding across access closets.

C9400-LC-48HX occupies a Catalyst 9400 line-card slot and terminates 48 copper access runs from high-power endpoints. Engineers map 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G BASE-T ports to endpoint demand, then assign UPOE+, UPOE, PoE+, or PoE power profiles from the chassis power budget. The card keeps RJ-45 access cabling in place while moving selected endpoints beyond gigabit speeds and preserving modular supervisor control. The access closet gains dense multigigabit copper capacity with centralized chassis supervision and planned power allocation across refresh cycles.
The line card sits at the powered access layer for Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E access points that require more than 1G of wired uplink capacity. C9400-LC-48HX presents 48 RJ-45 ports with 2.5G, 5G, and 10G BASE-T options and supplies up to 90W Cisco UPOE+ per port. Engineers place wireless VLANs, QoS markings, authentication policy, and PoE profiles on the Catalyst 9400 platform. The wireless edge receives higher AP uplink bandwidth without optical runs to each endpoint or separate power injectors.
The module operates inside a C9404R, C9407R, or C9410R chassis as a powered endpoint aggregation point for cameras, displays, lighting controllers, and high-bandwidth work areas. Network teams pair C9400-LC-48HX with the selected supervisor and IOS XE release, then validate slot bandwidth, PoE draw, MACsec policy, jumbo frame requirements, and copper cabling quality. The deployment consolidates power and data delivery into the modular switching chassis, reducing separate injector planning and keeping access operations under one management plane during maintenance and growth cycles.

The Cisco C9400-LC-48HX is a Catalyst 9400 Series line card that adds 48 multigigabit RJ-45 access ports to a compatible modular chassis. It supports 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G BASE-T speeds, with Cisco UPOE+ power up to 90W per port for high-power campus endpoints.
C9400 identifies the Cisco Catalyst 9400 modular switching family, LC indicates a line card, 48 identifies the port count, and HX identifies the 48-port UPOE+ multigigabit variant with 10G BASE-T support. The SKU separates this module from related 48-port cards that offer only gigabit, 5G multigigabit, or data-only copper ports.
C9400-LC-48HX is a line card module, not a standalone switch. It installs inside a Cisco Catalyst 9400 chassis and uses the chassis supervisor, power supplies, fan tray, switching fabric, and Cisco IOS XE software. Buyers should treat it as an expansion card for modular campus access switching rather than an independent fixed switch.
C9400-LC-48HX sits among the highest-density copper access line cards for the Catalyst 9400 platform. It combines 48 RJ-45 ports, 10G multigigabit speeds, and 90W UPOE+ power in one slot, making it the stronger choice when a chassis must serve high-bandwidth and high-power endpoint connections from the same access layer.
C9400-LC-48HX provides 48 front-panel RJ-45 ports on a single Catalyst 9400 line card. Each port supports multigigabit copper Ethernet, allowing one module to consolidate dense endpoint connectivity in a chassis slot. The 48-port layout suits access closets where existing twisted-pair cabling must support faster devices without moving to optical access ports.
Each C9400-LC-48HX port supports 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps BASE-T operation over RJ-45 copper. That range helps the same line card serve mixed endpoint generations, including legacy gigabit devices and newer multigigabit access points or powered endpoints that require more than 1G of bandwidth.
C9400-LC-48HX supports Cisco UPOE+ with up to 90W per RJ-45 port and also supports Cisco UPOE, PoE+, and PoE classes. Cisco documents IEEE 802.3bt, 802.3at, and 802.3af support, so the module is designed for high-power devices as well as standard powered endpoints in the same chassis.
Cisco lists 480 Gbps bandwidth per slot with a C9400X-SUP-2XL supervisor, delivering 1:1 oversubscription for C9400-LC-48HX in C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R chassis. With a C9400X-SUP-2 supervisor, Cisco lists 240 Gbps per slot and 2:1 oversubscription, so supervisor choice directly affects the forwarding design in dense access builds.
Layer 2 and Layer 3 behavior is provided by the Catalyst 9400 chassis, supervisor, Cisco IOS XE image, and licensing, while C9400-LC-48HX supplies the physical copper access ports. The card supports hardware capabilities such as MACsec-256 and jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes, but routing and policy design should be matched to the installed platform software.
C9400-LC-48HX does not stack like a fixed-access switch module. It expands a modular Catalyst 9400 chassis, where scale is achieved by adding line cards to supported slots and using redundant supervisors where the chassis design requires high availability. Operational management stays at the chassis level rather than through a StackWise fixed-switch stack.
C9400-LC-48HX is used for dense campus access connectivity where endpoints need both high copper bandwidth and high PoE power. Common roles include connecting Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E access points, high-power cameras, displays, lighting controllers, and workstation areas that benefit from 2.5G, 5G, or 10G access speeds.
C9400-LC-48HX fits medium to large campus environments already standardized on Catalyst 9400 modular chassis. A C9404R deployment uses fewer line-card slots, while C9407R and C9410R chassis provide larger access blocks. The module is strongest where many copper drops require multigigabit bandwidth and UPOE+ power from central wiring closets.
C9400-LC-48HX suits access-layer workloads that combine high data rates with inline power delivery. The module supports multigigabit uplifts for wireless access, video endpoints, security devices, collaboration spaces, and powered building systems. It is especially relevant when the access layer must preserve RJ-45 cabling while increasing bandwidth beyond traditional 1G Ethernet.
C9400-LC-48HX is well suited to Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E access deployments because Cisco positions the module for higher-bandwidth PoE-powered wireless access. Its 2.5G, 5G, and 10G BASE-T speeds align with modern access point uplink requirements, while UPOE+ provides up to 90W per port where high-power AP models require it.
C9400-LC-48HX is listed for Cisco Catalyst 9400 modular chassis, including C9404R, C9407R, and C9410R. These chassis provide different slot counts and power supply capacity, so module count, PoE budget, supervisor selection, and fan tray planning should be checked against the exact chassis build before ordering additional cards.
Cisco publishes C9400-LC-48HX bandwidth figures with C9400X-SUP-2 and C9400X-SUP-2XL supervisors. The 2XL supervisor provides 480 Gbps per slot and 1:1 oversubscription, while the SUP-2 provides 240 Gbps per slot and 2:1 oversubscription. Buyers should confirm supervisor and Cisco IOS XE release alignment during configuration planning.
Cisco lists C9400-LC-48HX support on Cisco IOS XE Software Release 17.8 or later. The installed chassis software should be checked before adding the line card, especially in existing Catalyst 9400 deployments. Matching the IOS XE release avoids recognition, feature, and operational issues during installation or maintenance windows.
C9400-LC-48HX supports 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G BASE-T Ethernet over RJ-45, plus IEEE 802.3bt, 802.3at, and 802.3af PoE standards. Cisco also lists Energy Efficient Ethernet 802.3az, hardware MACsec-256 capability through IEEE 802.1AE, and jumbo frame support up to 9216 bytes for larger Ethernet payloads.
C9400-LC-48HX is the higher-speed option when compared with C9400-LC-48HN. Both are 48-port UPOE+ multigigabit RJ-45 line cards with up to 90W per port, but C9400-LC-48HX adds 10G BASE-T support. C9400-LC-48HN supports 100M, 1G, 2.5G, and 5G multigigabit access without the 10G copper tier for endpoint connections.
C9400-LC-48HX combines 48-port 10G multigigabit RJ-45 access with UPOE+ power, while C9400-LC-48TX is the 48-port 10G multigigabit data line card. C9400-LC-48TX suits copper data-only access, and C9400-LC-48HX suits access blocks where endpoints need both multigigabit bandwidth and inline PoE power from the chassis power budget.
C9400-LC-48HX is the multigigabit 10G UPOE+ option, while C9400-LC-48H is a 48-port UPOE+ 10/100/1000 BASE-T line card. Both support up to 90W UPOE+ per RJ-45 port, but C9400-LC-48HX is better aligned with access points and endpoints that exceed 1G copper bandwidth in modern access closets.
C9400-LC-48HX provides 48 ports of 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G BASE-T with UPOE+ support. C9400-LC-48UX is another Catalyst 9400 UPOE multigigabit card, commonly selected where a mixed 1G and multigigabit copper profile fits the access design. C9400-LC-48HX is the clearer choice for all-port 10G multigigabit access.
C9400-LC-48HX may be sourced in new or refurbished condition through ORM Systems depending on channel availability at the time of quotation. Buyers should specify preferred condition, required warranty cover, project deadline, and target quantity. Refurbished supply is often useful for Catalyst 9400 expansions, spares, and like-for-like chassis refreshes.
C9400-LC-48HX pricing should be requested as a live quote because condition, quantity, market availability, and configuration requirements affect the final sell price. ORM Systems can quote the Cisco line card for planned upgrades, replacement inventory, or bulk access-layer rollouts where buyers need current pricing rather than static catalogue figures.
C9400-LC-48HX production and lifecycle status should be checked against current Cisco notices during procurement. The module appears in Cisco Catalyst 9400 documentation for supported line cards, but purchasing teams should still verify any end-of-sale, end-of-support, or software compatibility milestones before committing it to a long-term access-layer design.
Lead time for C9400-LC-48HX is driven by live stock, requested condition, order quantity, testing requirements, and shipping destination. ORM Systems can quote available lead times for single replacements, staged chassis builds, or larger access refresh projects. Buyers with maintenance windows should share required delivery dates when requesting pricing.
Bulk pricing for C9400-LC-48HX can be requested when multiple line cards are required for Catalyst 9400 chassis expansion or refresh projects. Quantity, condition, warranty term, and delivery schedule influence the commercial offer. Volume orders are common when standardizing several access closets on the same 48-port UPOE+ multigigabit card.
ORM Systems can supply C9400-LC-48HX with warranty options appropriate to the quoted condition and availability. Buyers should confirm the warranty term, replacement process, and any project-specific support expectations before purchase. Warranty coverage is especially important for modular chassis deployments where a failed access line card affects many powered endpoints at once.
Refurbished C9400-LC-48HX units should be tested before dispatch to confirm module recognition, port operation, PoE behavior, and physical condition. A practical test process checks the card as a Catalyst 9400 line card rather than as a generic network part, reducing installation risk when the module arrives for a production maintenance window.
C9400-LC-48HX is documented with IEEE 802.3bt, 802.3at, and 802.3af PoE support, Energy Efficient Ethernet 802.3az, and IEEE 802.1AE MACsec-256 capability in hardware. Compliance for a finished deployment also depends on the Catalyst 9400 chassis, supervisor, power supplies, software release, site cabling, and regional regulatory requirements.
C9400-LC-48HX is installed into a supported Catalyst 9400 chassis line-card slot, then brought online through the chassis supervisor and Cisco IOS XE software. Before installation, engineers should validate the chassis model, supervisor, IOS XE release, power supply capacity, PoE budget, cabling category, and maintenance window for the access ports being migrated.
C9400-LC-48HX is hardware, and platform features are governed by the Catalyst 9400 chassis, supervisor, Cisco IOS XE software, and any required Cisco licensing. The line card itself provides the 48 multigigabit UPOE+ RJ-45 ports, while advanced switching, routing, automation, or assurance features should be checked against the installed software entitlement.
C9400-LC-48HX requires a compatible Catalyst 9400 chassis, suitable supervisor, supported Cisco IOS XE release, adequate power supplies, correct fan tray, and copper cabling that supports the intended port speeds. For 10G BASE-T operation, cabling quality and distance should be reviewed before deployment, especially when upgrading older access closets from 1G.
C9400-LC-48HX can be purchased in the UK through ORM Systems as a Cisco Catalyst 9400 line card for replacement, expansion, or project-based procurement. Buyers can request current price, condition options, warranty details, and lead time for the 48-port 10G multigigabit RJ-45 UPOE+ module before placing an order.
ORM Systems can support international enquiries for C9400-LC-48HX, subject to availability, destination, shipping method, and any applicable trade or import requirements. International buyers should confirm delivery terms, warranty handling, documentation needs, and preferred condition during quotation so the Catalyst 9400 line card is supplied against the correct project timeline.
