The Cisco C9400-LC-24XY is an advanced enterprise line card built for Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series modular switches, offering a combination of 20 x 25 Gigabit Ethernet (SFP28) ports and 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet (SFP+) ports for flexible high-speed fiber connectivity. It supports interchangeable port speeds, allowing organizations to transition smoothly from 10G to 25G networks without replacing hardware.
Designed for campus core and aggregation layers, this module delivers high throughput with up to 1.2 Tbps switching capacity and low-latency, non-blocking performance. It supports full-duplex communication, advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, and modern networking capabilities such as MACsec encryption, QoS, and ACLs for secure and efficient data handling.
The line card integrates seamlessly into the Catalyst 9400 architecture and operates with Cisco IOS XE, benefiting from centralized management, programmability, and automation. Its hot-swappable design allows installation or replacement without downtime, making it ideal for mission-critical enterprise environments requiring scalability, reliability, and future-ready high-speed fiber infrastructure.
