EVESKY C9500-40X-A Catalyst 9500 Network Advantage 40-port 10G switch

SKU CH-C55P-AK8RN

A managed 40-port 10G switch with Network Advantage, 16 GB DDR4, UPOE and ZTP for simplified deployment

  • 40 SFP+ ports enable high-density 10G connectivity
  • 16 GB DDR4 SDRAM supports smooth multitasking
  • ZTP simplifies rapid site deployment
  • 256-bit AES encryption secures all ports
  • Hot-pluggable 950 W power supply ensures uptime

40-port 10G network switch

The Catalyst 9500 provides 40 SFP+ ports for 10G connectivity in a 1 RU rack-mountable chassis. It targets enterprises that need high-density aggregation with advanced security and automation features. An Intel 2.4 GHz x86 CPU and 16 GB DDR4 SDRAM handle complex control-plane workloads. The Network Advantage licence unlocks the full IOS XE feature set for campus core and distribution layers.

Zero-touch deployment and hot-swap power

ZTP lets IT teams bring new sites online without manual staging, while the hot-pluggable 950 W internal supply supports AC 120/230 V nominal voltage for non-disruptive replacement. Front-to-rear airflow matches standard data-centre cooling layouts. Common issues include mismatched SFP+ optics and incorrect PTP IEEE 1588v2 profiles, which can prevent link-up or time synchronisation.

UPOE power budget and port density limits

The 950 W budget must cover both the switch and all connected UPOE devices, so total attached load cannot exceed the supply rating. Forty SFP+ ports consume significant rack faceplate space, leaving no room for copper uplinks without media converters. AES 128-bit and 256-bit encryption on every port adds latency that sensitive real-time applications must tolerate.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the switch is operating correctly after installation?

Check the front-panel LEDs for power, fan and port status; confirm the IOS XE console shows all 40 SFP+ ports up and the Intel 2.4 GHz CPU reporting normal utilisation.

What ships with the unit and what must I purchase separately?

The switch includes the chassis, a hot-pluggable 950 W AC 120/230 V power supply, rack-mount brackets and 16 GB DDR4 SDRAM; 10G SFP+ transceivers and cables are not included.

Which Catalyst 9500 variant should I select for my environment?

Choose the C9500-40X-A when you need 40 ports of 10G SFP+ connectivity with Network Advantage licensing, UPOE support and ZTP deployment in a 1 RU form factor.
