C9404R-48U-BNDL-A is a Layer 3 modular enterprise access bundle with 48 Gigabit copper ports and Cisco UPOE endpoint power. This Catalyst 9000 family configuration starts with one C9400-LC-48U access card and a supervisor. Uplink interfaces reside on the selected supervisor rather than on a fixed chassis uplink panel. Network Advantage provides the perpetual network tier, while the four-slot enclosure separates access-card installation from supervisor placement. Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series switching serves campus networks connecting phones, wireless access points, cameras and other powered endpoints. Copper and fiber cards can be selected separately as connectivity requirements change. C9404R-48U-BNDL-E uses the same initial access-card arrangement but pairs it with the Essentials software offer, distinguishing the two bundles by licensing rather than installed copper density.
C9404R-48U-BNDL-A price for new stock is $8,898.75, a 46.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $16,617.00. C9404R-48U-BNDL-A refurb price is $8,972.25. C9404R-48U-BNDL-A is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 support routed campus designs under the advanced network tier; OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 extend routing to IPv6. PIM-SM and SSM provide multicast routing options. C9404R-48U-BNDL-A supports local CLI and web UI administration, with Cisco Catalyst Center available for centralized management under the selected software entitlement. NETCONF, RESTCONF and gNMI expose configuration interfaces for automation, while model-driven telemetry supplies operating data to monitoring systems. MSTP and PVRST+ provide spanning-tree choices, and NSF/SSO supports forwarding continuity when a redundant supervisor is installed and configured. Side-to-side airflow determines cabinet clearance planning, and C9404-FAN provides independently controlled fans with N+1 cooling redundancy. Cold startup requires an ambient temperature of at least 0°C. A second supervisor and redundant power configuration are separate selections, not consequences of ordering redundant-capable hardware. The included C9400-LC-48U does not provide multigigabit copper speeds. Confirm the supervisor selection before assigning uplink capabilities to the assembled system.
ORM Systems offers C9404R-48U-BNDL-A new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty is separate and subject to original-customer eligibility and discontinuance limits. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default; submit the complete component bill and required condition with your PO. For enterprise and volume orders, PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement apply across UK, EU, US and MEA regional stock and RMA operations.

A refresh of a discontinued WS-C4503E+48V+ or WS-C4503E-S7L+48V+ installation moves beyond equipment whose Cisco support ended October 31, 2025. Prepare a complete chassis bill of materials rather than carrying the old equipment list onto the replacement order, and inventory copper connections, endpoint power requests and rack provisions before specifying the bundle.
A rollout of powered endpoints must be sized from each device's request, not from the chassis label. Cisco UPOE permits 60W per port, while AC input voltage, supply population and redundancy mode constrain the available allocation. Specify the endpoint power schedule and electrical feeds before releasing the purchase order.
A wiring-closet consolidation that will exceed the initial copper card needs a slot plan rather than an assumption that every chassis slot accepts access ports. The chassis supports 96 Gigabit copper connections when both line-card positions are populated. Reserve expansion capacity and identify the additional C9400-LC-48U on the purchase order.
Multigigabit speeds on included copper ports
The included C9400-LC-48U stops at Gigabit Ethernet. Multigigabit endpoints require a different copper card; C9400-LC-48HN provides 5G connectivity with a separately specified power and software configuration.
More than two access line cards
The four-slot chassis reserves two positions for supervisors, leaving two for access cards. C9407R-96U-BNDL-A provides five line-card positions and starts with 96 UPOE ports in a larger chassis.

C9404R-48U-BNDL-A identifies a Catalyst 9400 four-slot chassis bundle with a supervisor, one C9400-LC-48U and the Advantage software offer. C9404R denotes the chassis, 48U corresponds to the 48-port Gigabit UPOE card, BNDL denotes the bundle and A selects Advantage. The supervisor and software term remain explicit order selections.
C9404R-48U-BNDL-A is managed through a CLI or web UI, with Cisco Catalyst Center available for centralized administration under the selected subscription. NETCONF, RESTCONF and gNMI provide programmatic configuration interfaces. Model-driven telemetry exports operating data for monitoring, so management access and controller integration belong in the deployment plan.
C9404R-48U-BNDL-A supports Cisco DNA, Catalyst and Cisco Networking Subscription licensing paths. Cisco DNA Essentials and Cisco DNA Advantage and Catalyst Essentials and Catalyst Advantage start at three years; Cisco Switching Essentials and Cisco Switching Advantage start at 36 months through Cisco Networking Subscription. Match the selected entitlement to the bundle's Advantage configuration and register the Smart Account.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9400. C9404R-48U-BNDL-A is a configurable chassis bundle, while individual supervisors and line cards have separate lifecycle milestones. Specify the installed component PIDs when arranging maintenance, because a component retirement does not by itself retire the complete series.
ORM Systems offers C9404R-48U-BNDL-A new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units. Returns are 30 days for every condition; terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty covers the original customer, limited to five years after the discontinuance announcement.
C9404R-48U-BNDL-A replaces the discontinued C1-C4503E+48V+, C1-C4503E-S7L+48V+, WS-C4503E+48V+ and WS-C4503E-S7L+48V+ bundles. Those older products reached end of sale on October 30, 2020, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2025. Plan a complete chassis migration and identify the required supervisor, power supplies and software with the replacement order.
C9404R-48U-BNDL-A supplies Cisco UPOE through the included C9400-LC-48U, with 60W per port available to supported endpoints. PoE and PoE+ devices are also supported. The usable allocation depends on the selected supplies, input voltage and redundancy mode, so per-port capability must not be treated as a guaranteed full-card power budget.
C9404R-48U-BNDL-A carries its uplink interfaces on the selected supervisor, so the supervisor PID determines the connector count and available speeds. Select compatible transceivers for the intended links rather than treating the chassis as a fixed-uplink switch. The supplied C9400-LC-48U provides copper endpoint connections, not a fixed chassis fiber-uplink block.
C9404R-48U-BNDL-A selects the Advantage software offer, while C9404R-48U-BNDL-E selects Essentials; both start with one C9400-LC-48U in a four-slot chassis. The Advantage network tier adds advanced routing and segmentation beyond the Essentials offer. Select the A bundle for those network capabilities or the E bundle for an Essentials configuration.
C9404R-48U-BNDL-A starts with 48 UPOE copper ports, while C9407R-96U-BNDL-A starts with 96 through two C9400-LC-48U cards. Both provide Gigabit Ethernet access connections. Specify the smaller bundle for a single-card starting requirement and the larger bundle when the initial purchase must include two populated copper access cards.
C9404R-48U-BNDL-A supports configurable redundant power rather than guaranteeing a redundant supply population in the bundle name. Compatible options include C9400-PWR-3200AC, C9400-PWR-2100AC, C9400-PWR-3200DC and C9400-PWR-3200ACT. The chassis has four supply bays and supports combined, N+1 and N+N modes; specify supply quantities, electrical feeds and the required operating mode.
The Catalyst 9400 supports StackWise Virtual with two chassis operating as one logical switch. C9404R-48U-BNDL-A can form part of that paired-chassis design when the supervisor and software combination supports the deployment. Specify both complete chassis configurations and the interconnect optics together; a chassis PID alone does not define those components.
C9404R-48U-BNDL-A uses Network Advantage for advanced routing, including OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4. IPv6 routing includes OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6, while PIM-SM and SSM cover multicast routing. Keep those network entitlements separate from subscription-based automation and assurance when reviewing the software items on the purchase order.
The Catalyst 9400 four-slot chassis occupies 6 rack units and measures 265.3 mm high, 439.4 mm wide and 414 mm deep. C9404R-48U-BNDL-A uses that enclosure, so allow space for side-to-side airflow and cabling access. Check cabinet clearances and ventilation arrangements before adding the chassis to the purchase order.
Under the Catalyst 9400 Cisco DNA licensing path, Network Advantage is perpetual while Cisco DNA Advantage is term-based. C9404R-48U-BNDL-A does not turn the subscription into a perpetual license. List the network tier and subscription term separately when reviewing renewal requirements, software entitlements and the destination Smart Account.
