Frequently Asked Questions
What is the power output and input specification for the Cisco PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L power supply?
The Cisco PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L is a 480W AC to DC power supply rated for AC input of 100-240V at 5.0A with 50-60Hz frequency. This power supply is designed to support Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series switches and provides sufficient power budget for both switch operation and Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, provided the total system power consumption remains within the 480W rating.
Is the Cisco PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L compatible with PoE and PoE+ devices?
Yes, the Cisco PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L supports PoE and PoE+ functionality. However, the entire power budget for both the switch and all PoE ports must stay within the 480W power supply wattage limit. We recommend reviewing your specific switch model's power consumption requirements to ensure adequate headroom for all connected devices.
What are the environmental and safety ratings for this Cisco power supply?
The Cisco PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L is rated as IP20, meaning it is suitable for indoor use in controlled environments. This power supply is not certified for smart grid applications or hazardous locations, making it ideal for standard enterprise network deployments in offices, data centers, and secure facilities.
Which Cisco switch models are compatible with the PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L power supply?
The Cisco PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L is designed for use with Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series switches. This 480W power supply option provides the higher power capacity needed for switches requiring greater PoE power delivery or supporting more active ports than smaller power supply options like the 240W variant.
How does the 480W power supply compare to other Cisco IE power supply options?
The PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L is the highest-capacity AC power supply in the Cisco IE industrial switch lineup, offering double the power of the 240W variant (PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L=). This makes it ideal for deployments requiring maximum PoE power delivery or supporting the full port count of larger Catalyst IE3400 chassis with multiple line cards.
