Power supplies
Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches support dual field-replaceable power supplies (Figure 3). Each switch ships with one default power supply, and a second identical power supply can be purchased with the initial order or can be added later. The second power supply can provide redundancy or additional power to PoE+ ports as needed.
Cisco Catalyst 9200CX Series HVDC models can be powered by high voltage DC as well as line voltage AC with its default power supply. These switches support high efficiency and low energy consumption when connected to DC micro grid by avoiding multiple AC-DC conversions. The compatibility with AC also provides flexibility and investment protection for moving to DC power in the future.
●IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30W per port)is supported on Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches to lower the total cost of ownership for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP phones, Cisco Aironet wireless access points, or other standards-compliant PoE+ end devices. PoE+ removes the need to supply wall power to PoE-enabled devices and eliminates the cost of adding electrical cabling and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments. With Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches, PoE+ power allocation is dynamic, and power mapping scales up to a maximum of 1440W of PoE+ power.
●IEEE 802.3bt Class 6 and Cisco UPOE (up to 60W per port)is supported on Catalyst 9200CX Series mGig model. This facilitates delivery of network power to devices requiring higher power.
●PoE Powered Device (PD)- Catalyst 9200CX-12T-2X2G can be powered through the uplink with IEEE 802.3bt class 6 or UPOE+ power from upstream switch.
●Perpetual PoEis supported on Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches, and maintains the PoE+ power during a switch reload. This is important for critical endpoints such as medical devices and for Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints such as PoE-powered lights, so that there is no disruption during a switch reboot.
●Fast PoE: When power is restored to a switch, Fast PoE starts delivering power to endpoints without waiting for the operating system to fully load, thereby speeding up the time for the endpoint to start up.

FAQs
What is the difference between Cisco C9200 and 9200L? ›
Here are the key differences between 9200 and 9200L: The 9200 supports Stackwise-160, while 9200L supports Stackwise-80. The 9200 has larger lookup tables than the 9200L. The 9200 supports field-replaceable fan units and modular uplinks, while the 9200L does not.
What is C9200L Cisco DNA Essentials 48 Port 3 year term license? ›The Cisco C9200L DNA Essentials 48-Port 3 Year Term License C9200L-DNA-E-48-3Y is a software licensing solution that offers a 3 year validation period. It is an open, extensible, software-driven architecture that accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations while lowering costs and reducing risk.
What is the capacity of PoE 9200? ›With Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches, PoE+ power allocation is dynamic, and power mapping scales up to a maximum of 1440W of PoE+ power.
Is Cisco DNA license mandatory? ›A Cisco DNA license subscription is required for each router, switch, and wireless access point to enable SDN features on the network.
Is Cisco 9200 a Layer 3 switch? ›With full PoE+ capability, power and fan redundancy, stacking bandwidth up to 160 Gbps, mod- ular uplinks, Layer 3 feature support, and cold patching, these switches are the industry's un- paralleled solution with differentiated resiliency and progressive architecture for cost-effective branch-office access.
How many Cisco 9200 can you stack? ›You cannot have a switch stack containing a mix of different license levels. Do not stack Cisco Catalyst 9200L Series Switches with Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches. A switch stack can have up to eight stacking-capable switches connected through their StackWise ports.
How many watts is a Cisco 9200 power supply? ›Product Details. The Cisco Config 5 Secondary Power Supply is designed to power the Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches. This hot-plug power supply provides a power of 125 watts.
Can I buy Cisco switch without DNA license? ›But did you know: These switches have a brand-new licensing model to enable the DNA features. It's not possible to purchase one of these switches from Cisco without a DNA license — even if you don't intend to use the DNA capabilities. DNA licenses have a renewal term from three to seven years.
What is the difference between Cisco network Essentials and network Advantage? ›Cisco DNA Essentials delivers base automation. Cisco DNA Advantage delivers Automation and Assurance. Cisco DNA Premier gives you Automation, Assurance, SDA, security and location analytics.
Do Cisco licenses expire? ›When the evaluation period expires for a device, it cannot be reset. After the 90 days time period, these licenses move to the Expired or EVAL EXPIRED state.
What is the max distance for a PoE camera? ›
100m (328ft) is the maximum distance between the Ethernet source and the Ethernet client.
What is the highest power PoE? ›As described above, standard PoE can supply maximum power output of 15.4W, while PoE+ is 30W. When a plan calls for multiple devices to be connected to one PoE/PoE+ switch, it's necessary to ensure the total wattage required by the devices does not exceed the maximum wattage of the switch.
What is the maximum run for a PoE camera? ›Direct runs from an NVR's POE port to a camera can go up to 300 feet without any issues. If a run exceeds this length POE Extenders can be used for a total of 900 feet (max of two POE extenders 300 feet apart). The POE extenders do not require a separate power source. They will need to be protected if used outdoors.

On the other hand, Cisco has a broad technology portfolio and provides simplified networking solutions for modern technical infrastructures.
Do I need Cisco license? ›Cisco Licensing – Cisco Licenses Explained
This is true for all hardware. The software features you buy on top of the hardware are licensed separately and require their own support contract. If you want to get IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) feature for your firewall, you'll need a software license or entitlement.
Ownership: Traditional licenses are device-specific, so there must be one license per device. Smart Licenses are flexible and pooled, which means they can be moved around to different devices and can be redeployed.
Do I have to use Cisco Smart Licensing? ›Licenses are required for all Cisco products.
What is the max distance for 48v PoE? ›PoE's transmission distance is limited to 100 meters (about 328 feet), which often proves ineffective for the needs of many potential users.
What is the difference between PoE and PoE+? ›The main difference between PoE (IEEE 802.3af standard) and PoE+ (802.3at) is the quantity of power delivered. PoE can provide 15.4 watts over Cat5 cables, while PoE+ can supply up to 30W over Cat5 cables, with 25.5W available to devices.
Which is better Cat 6 or cat7? ›CAT 7 Ethernet cables support higher bandwidths and much faster transmission speeds than Cat 6 cables. As a result they are much more expensive than their Cat 6 counterparts, however, if you are looking for better performance, they are worth the extra cost. Cat 7 cables can reach up to 100 Gbps at a range of 15 meters.

Can any Ethernet cable be used for PoE? ›Power of Ethernet (PoE) is combining power and data communications in a single cable. As it's become more and more popular, there are a huge array of devices that source and consume power and data through the same cable. Do all Ethernet cables support PoE? No, they don't.
Do PoE cameras use a lot of electricity? ›PoE devices do not usually use the maximum amount of power that their respective PoE standards allow. For example, a port on a PoE switch supplies up to 15.4 watts of power, but your PoE camera may only need 9 watts of power.
How far can you run Cat6 for PoE camera? ›Max length of Camera Cat5e/Cat6 cable run Print
Per Ethernet standards, the maximum length of a Cat5e and Cat6 cable run is 100 meters (or 328 feet). It is possible to go further by using a POE repeater. Remember, a GRIDSMART Camera gets its power using POE.
For example, a 24-port PoE switch with a 370W power supply can power 24 IP cameras with IEEE802. 3at standard (15.4W per port) while it can only power 12 IP cameras with IEEE802. 3at standard (30W per port).
