C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A is a non-PoE, Layer 3 campus core switch bundle combining 48 25 Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports with 24 high-speed fiber positions for 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Network Advantage supplies the network license tier, while removable line cards carry the network interfaces rather than a fixed access-port panel. The Cisco Catalyst 9606R serves enterprise core and distribution networks that aggregate connections between switches. Within the Catalyst 9000 family, the Catalyst 9600 Series combines fiber connectivity with modular supervisor and power infrastructure. C9606R identifies the chassis ordering option, whereas this bundle includes a supervisor and two line cards. The installed supervisor determines how many high-speed interfaces can operate simultaneously at 100G.
C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A price is $52,745.70, a 53.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $113,334.00. C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

OSPFv2, OSPFv3, EIGRP, EIGRPv6, IS-ISv4, BGPv4, and BGPv6 support routed campus designs; RIPv2 and RIPng are also available. PIM-SM and PIM-SSM provide multicast routing options. C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A supports NETCONF and RESTCONF with YANG models for automated configuration, alongside CLI, Web UI, and Cisco Catalyst Center management paths. SNMP supports monitoring, while out-of-band management provides dedicated administrative access and Bluetooth Wireless UI supplies another management option. C9606-FAN contains nine independently controlled fans and uses side-to-side airflow, so rack placement must preserve the lateral cooling path. Combined mode and N+1 mode provide different ways to allocate the installed C9600-PWR-2KWAC supplies between available capacity and redundancy. Supervisor redundancy is a separate configuration choice: support for a second supervisor does not mean a second module is included. Forwarding scale and available features must be matched to the selected supervisor and forwarding template.
ORM Systems offers C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units, up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition, module bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify the condition and complete component inventory on the purchase order; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is separate and applies to the original owner. Enterprise and volume orders can use accepted POs, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

In a multinational enterprise campus supporting 50,000 Wi-Fi 6 and wired endpoints, the Cisco Catalyst 9606R-48Y24C-BN-A with DNA Advantage license enables SD-Access fabric automation, policy-based microsegmentation and zero-touch provisioning. Outcome: 60% faster network rollouts, 40% lower operational expenses and consistent security posture across all buildings.
A global financial services firm uses the Catalyst 9606R-48Y24C-BN-A chassis with dual XLC line cards to aggregate 100G links between two Tier 1 data centers. By leveraging advanced Layer 3 routing and granular QoS in Cisco DNA-A, they achieve sub-10 µs latency, 99.999% uptime and seamless failover. Outcome: deterministic performance for critical trading applications and reduced cross-site recovery times.
An automotive manufacturing plant deploys the Catalyst 9606R-48Y24C-BN-A with DNA Advantage to connect 10,000+ robots, sensors and PLCs over a converged fabric. Integrated telemetry, encrypted segmentation and automated threat containment ensure real-time visibility and compliance with industry-4.0 standards. Outcome: proactive anomaly detection, 30% reduction in unplanned downtime and streamlined audit readiness.
When a campus aggregation purchase must accommodate later line-card additions, the six-slot chassis separates four line-card positions from two supervisor positions. The bundle begins with two line cards rather than filling every network-card slot. Specify the initial card inventory and preserve component access for planned expansion before issuing the purchase order.
When a U.S. rack offers 115V feeds, C9600-PWR-2KWAC has a 1050W output condition rather than its 2000W condition at 230V. A fully loaded chassis requires at least three power supplies on 110V input. Specify the supply population, circuit voltage, and intended redundancy mode before finalizing the purchase order.
When a lab or staging build precedes production licensing, the base and add-on software can operate under a 90-day evaluation. An expired evaluation cannot be reactivated after a reload. Record the activation date and specify the production entitlement and Smart Account assignment before releasing the purchase order.
PoE power for connected endpoints
C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A has no PoE access ports and cannot power phones, cameras, or wireless access points directly; its bundled fiber interfaces provide data connectivity rather than endpoint power.
Two supervisors included as standard
C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A includes one supervisor rather than a redundant pair. Add C9600-SUP-1/2 for C9600-SUP-1 configurations or C9600X-SUP-2/2 for C9600X-SUP-2 configurations when specifying supervisor redundancy.

C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A identifies a Catalyst 9600 six-slot chassis bundle: C9606R names the chassis, 48Y24C identifies its 48-port 25G and 24-position high-speed fiber configuration, BN identifies the bundle, and A denotes Advantage. The package contains one supervisor and two line cards; active high-speed port counts depend on the supervisor.
C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A is managed through the Cisco IOS XE CLI, Web UI, or Cisco Catalyst Center, with programmable access through NETCONF, RESTCONF, YANG models, and gNMI/gNOI. SNMP supports monitoring, and Bluetooth Wireless UI and out-of-band management are also supported. Catalyst Center deployment is optional rather than required for standalone operation.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9600. C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A remains part of the available-order Catalyst 9606R product line. Retirement dates for individual line cards or IOS XE releases do not establish a retirement date for this chassis bundle; match lifecycle planning to the installed component inventory.
ORM Systems offers C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the original owner while the product remains eligible.
C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A includes perpetual Network Advantage and requires a subscription for a new hardware order. Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco Catalyst Software Subscription Advantage offer 3-, 5-, or 7-year terms; Cisco Networking Subscription offers Cisco Switching Advantage with a 36-month minimum. Smart Account assignment is required, and expiring add-on rights are separate from perpetual network rights.
With C9600-SUP-1, C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A activates 12 100G links on C9600-LC-24C; C9600X-SUP-2 permits 24. C9600-LC-24C also supports 24 40G links with either supervisor. Specify the supervisor PID and required active link count together, because 24 physical positions do not guarantee 24 simultaneous 100G connections.
Optical transceivers must be selected separately for the Catalyst 9600 fiber line cards; a chassis bundle does not define the optical reach or connector for each link. Choose optics matching each card's supported speed, fiber path, and remote interface. Include the optics inventory as separate order lines rather than assuming every cage arrives populated.
No, C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A does not provide PoE endpoint power; its fiber connections carry network data rather than electrical power for attached devices. This is an enterprise core and distribution bundle, not a powered copper access switch. Phones, cameras, and wireless access points cannot draw their operating power from its bundled fiber ports.
C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A includes three C9600-PWR-2KWAC supplies, with a four-bay chassis supporting Combined or N+1 power operation. C9600-PWR-2KWAC has a 2000W output condition at 230V and 1050W at 115V; those figures are not whole-system power consumption. Specify the input circuits and operating mode before finalizing the power configuration.
Yes, the Catalyst 9600 chassis accepts a second supervisor, but C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A includes only one. Use C9600-SUP-1/2 for a C9600-SUP-1 configuration or C9600X-SUP-2/2 for a C9600X-SUP-2 configuration. The secondary module is a separate configuration choice; redundant-supervisor capability does not confirm that both supervisors ship with the bundle.
Cisco Catalyst 9606R requires 8U of rack space and measures 354.3 mm high, 442 mm wide, and 409 mm deep. The chassis uses side-to-side airflow with nine fans in C9606-FAN. Confirm side clearance and front service access as well as rack height; an 8U allocation alone does not address cooling or component removal.
C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A is a bundle with a supervisor and two line cards, while C9606R identifies the six-slot chassis. The difference is ordering scope, not a separate switching family. Choose the bundle for its included hardware package; choose the chassis when the complete component selection will be specified individually.
C9606R-48Y24C-BN-A supports Layer 3 routing with Network Advantage, including OSPFv2, OSPFv3, EIGRP, EIGRPv6, IS-ISv4, BGPv4, and BGPv6. RIPv2 and RIPng are also supported, while multicast options include PIM-SM and PIM-SSM. Match route-scale requirements to the installed supervisor and forwarding template rather than treating individual maximum table sizes as simultaneously available capacity.
