UPoE

The Cisco C9400-LC-48U Line Card Switch features UPoE (Universal Power over Ethernet) capability, providing users with the advantage of powering network devices through Ethernet cables. With a single UPoE port, this line card switch offers several benefits that enhance network infrastructure and simplify device deployment.

Streamlined Deployment

The inclusion of UPoE in the Cisco C9400-LC-48U Line Card Switch streamlines device deployment by eliminating the need for separate power cables. With UPoE, network devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras can receive power directly through the Ethernet cable, simplifying the installation process. This not only reduces the time and effort required for device deployment but also minimizes cable clutter and improves the overall aesthetics of the network environment.

Cost Savings

By leveraging UPoE, organizations can significantly reduce their infrastructure costs. With traditional power delivery methods, additional power cables and power outlets are required for each network device. However, with UPoE, power is delivered through the existing Ethernet infrastructure, eliminating the need for additional power cables and outlets. This not only reduces the upfront costs associated with hardware but also minimizes ongoing maintenance expenses.

Energy Efficiency

The UPoE feature of the Cisco C9400-LC-48U Line Card Switch promotes energy efficiency by optimizing power consumption. With UPoE, power is only delivered to devices that require it, ensuring that energy is not wasted on inactive or low-power devices. Additionally, UPoE allows for intelligent power management, enabling IT administrators to monitor and control the power allocation to different devices. This level of control ensures that energy resources are used efficiently, contributing to lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.

Flexible Device Placement

UPoE enables flexible device placement within the network environment. Since devices can be powered through Ethernet cables, they are not limited by the proximity of power outlets. This flexibility allows for more strategic device placement decisions based on factors such as network coverage, convenience, and security. With UPoE support, organizations can optimize their device placement to maximize network coverage and efficiency without being restricted by power availability.

Reliable Power Delivery

The Cisco C9400-LC-48U Line Card Switch ensures reliable power delivery to connected devices through its UPoE feature. With UPoE, power is delivered over Ethernet cables, providing a consistent and stable power supply. This eliminates the risk of power interruptions or fluctuations that can disrupt device operation and compromise network performance. By ensuring reliable power delivery, the UPoE feature contributes to the overall stability and uptime of the network.
