C9500-24Y4C-1E is a managed Layer 3 fiber aggregation switch with 24 fixed 1/10/25G SFP28 interfaces and four fixed 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. Its non-PoE design connects network links rather than supplying endpoint power, and the 1U chassis fits a standard equipment rack. Network Essentials supplies the perpetual network feature set, while this ordering variant pairs the hardware with a one-year Cisco DNA Essentials subscription. Within the Catalyst 9500 family, the fiber aggregation configuration serves campus core connections rather than copper endpoint access. C9500-24Y4C-A changes the perpetual tier to Network Advantage without changing the physical interface arrangement.
C9500-24Y4C-1E price for new stock is $41,474.87. C9500-24Y4C-1E refurb price is $17,533.95. C9500-24Y4C-1E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

2000 Gbps switching capacity supports line-rate operation for packets of 187 bytes and larger, while 1000 Mpps forwarding defines the separate packet-processing limit. OSPF supports 1000 routes under the Essentials feature set, alongside RIP, EIGRP Stub, PBR, PIM Stub and VRRP. StackWise Virtual is not enabled by the included license and requires Network Advantage. C9500-24Y4C-1E uses the UADP 3.0 ASIC with 16 GB of DRAM and 16 GB of flash for its control and software environment. The hardware supports 256000 total IPv4 routes, but that figure does not expand the included OSPF entitlement. Cisco IOS XE provides local CLI and embedded WebUI administration, plus NETCONF and RESTCONF for automated configuration. Cooling uses four fans with C9K-T1-FANTRAY hardware and front-to-back airflow; an optional second power supply adds chassis power redundancy.
ORM Systems supplies C9500-24Y4C-1E new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, software entitlement and required accessories on the purchase order. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns, with terms applying. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs, government buyers receive Net-30 terms, and RMA with advance replacement is available across UK, EU, US and MEA.

When replacing discontinued C9500-16X hardware after its April 30, 2026 end of sale, preserve the intended routing entitlement rather than treating every replacement bundle as equivalent. The predecessor's last date of support is April 30, 2031. Before the purchase order, inventory existing fiber links and specify the required software tier.
When a multi-site rollout requires RFID asset identification, make that choice before hardware configuration is finalized. C9500-RFID selects the tag, while C9500-RFID-NONE omits it; an omitted tag cannot be installed later. Record the asset-identification requirement for every deployment location and include the appropriate selection on the purchase order.
When a spare must fit racks with different mounting arrangements, distinguish the included brackets from optional mounting hardware. C9500-4PTH-KIT= adds extension rails and brackets for four-point mounting, while C9500-ACCKITH-23I= serves wider racks. Record the rack type and include the applicable kit with the spare order.
PoE-powered copper access endpoints
C9500-24Y4C-1E has no PoE-enabled RJ-45 access ports. Its fixed fiber interfaces cannot supply endpoint power, so the chassis cannot replace a powered copper access switch.
More than 24 native 25G links
C9500-24Y4C-1E provides 24 native 25G interfaces. C9500-48Y4C-E provides 48 native 25G interfaces while retaining four fixed 40/100G uplinks.
StackWise Virtual with included licensing
Network Essentials does not enable StackWise Virtual. Specify C9500-24Y4C-A with Network Advantage for virtualized operation; the physical interface configuration remains unchanged.

C9500-24Y4C-1E identifies Catalyst 9500 hardware with 24 interfaces supporting 1/10/25G, four 40/100G interfaces and one-year Cisco DNA Essentials packaging. C9500 names the family, 24Y identifies the main interface configuration, 4C identifies the four higher-speed interfaces, and 1E distinguishes the one-year Essentials ordering option.
C9500-24Y4C-1E supports local CLI and embedded WebUI management. Cisco Catalyst Center and the Meraki dashboard provide additional management choices with appropriate software entitlement and a supported release. NETCONF and RESTCONF support automation. Select the intended management path before finalizing licensing; a controller deployment is not required for local administration.
C9500-24Y4C-1E denotes one-year Cisco DNA Essentials packaging with perpetual Network Essentials. Standard Cisco DNA Essentials / Advantage and Cisco Catalyst Essentials / Advantage subscriptions start at three years. Cisco Networking Subscription offers Cisco Switching Essentials / Advantage with a 36-month minimum. Confirm the quoted entitlement and Smart Account; hardware condition alone does not establish subscription rights.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9500. C9500-24Y4C-1E uses the continuing C9500-24Y4C hardware; notices covering C9500-16X and certain other models do not discontinue this configuration. Distinguish the hardware lifecycle from the end of a Cisco DNA subscription term when planning renewal or replacement.
ORM Systems offers C9500-24Y4C-1E new sealed with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is original-owner coverage, limited to five years after a discontinuance announcement.
C9500-24Y4C-1E uses replacement C9500-24Y4C hardware for discontinued C9500-16X, C9500-16X-A, C9500-16X-A=, C9500-16X-E, C9500-16X-E=, C9500-16X-P, C9500-16X-P=, C9500-16X-1A, C9500-16X-1E, C9500-16X-10A, C9500-16X-10E, C9500-16X-EDU, C9500-16X-2Q-A, C9500-16X-2Q-E, C9500-24X-A and C9500-24X-E. Their end-of-sale date was April 30, 2026; their last date of support is April 30, 2031. Match the replacement software tier to the existing feature requirements.
C9500-24Y4C-1E provides four fixed 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. The interfaces are built into the chassis, so an uplink network module is not required. Specify the uplink speed, supported transceivers and fiber reach with the order rather than treating the hardware PID as a complete optical-link specification.
C9500-24Y4C-1E supports Layer 3 routed access under Network Essentials, including RIP, EIGRP Stub and OSPF with a 1000-route limit. PBR, PIM Stub and VRRP belong to the Essentials feature set. The hardware's larger route capacity does not remove license limits; advanced capabilities require Network Advantage.
C9500-24Y4C-1E ships with one AC power supply and supports an optional second supply for redundancy. C9K-PWR-650WAC-R/2 is a supported redundant AC option. A redundant configuration therefore needs an additional module and appropriate power cable on the purchase order, rather than an assumption that both supply bays arrive populated.
C9500-24Y4C-1E is a 1U rack-mount switch measuring 43.9 mm high, 444.5 mm wide and 457.2 mm deep. Its maximum weight is 9.52 kg with two power supplies and fans. Allow for mounting hardware, cable routing and airflow when confirming the rack position before ordering.
No, C9500-24Y4C-1E does not deliver PoE. Its fixed interfaces serve fiber aggregation and uplink connections, not powered copper access. Specify endpoint power separately when drawing up the bill of materials; the switch's internal power supply powers the chassis rather than acting as an endpoint PoE budget.
C9500-24Y4C-A includes Network Advantage, whereas C9500-24Y4C-1E includes Network Essentials with one-year Cisco DNA Essentials packaging. The hardware interface arrangement is the same. Network Advantage enables capabilities such as StackWise Virtual that Essentials excludes. The Essentials bundle suits its included feature requirements; Advantage is required when virtualized operation forms part of the design.
C9500-48Y4C-E provides 48 native 1/10/25G interfaces, compared with 24 on C9500-24Y4C-1E. Both configurations retain four fixed 40/100G uplinks. Buyers concentrating more fiber links in one chassis need the higher-density model; buyers whose interface inventory fits the smaller configuration can specify the 24-port hardware.
C9500-32C-E uses 100G QSFP28 interfaces for its main port bank, whereas C9500-24Y4C-1E uses 25G SFP28 interfaces there. The distinction is the native interface class, not a removable uplink-card choice. Buyers connecting predominantly 100G links need the former; 25G aggregation buyers should match the latter to their link inventory.
