C9200 Power Supply

Hello,

I need to know what is the difference between PWR-C5-125WAC and PWR-C6-125WAC? I saw that the PWR-C6-125WAC is supported from Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.11.1, but only this. There is anything more?

Hi,

According to the datasheet, PWR-C5-125WAC comes with a fixed fan but PWR-C6-125WAC comes with redundant fans.

See table-1 in this link:

Thanks by help with this. I opened a case in Partner Helpline and I received the answer below:

Power supply units are practically identical in functionality, however, "C6" SKUs are supported as secondary sources in Catalyst 9200, while "C5" are continuously primary and supported in Catalyst 9200L - "C6" SKUs do not part of the Catalyst 9200L.
However, as their functionalities do not differ, they can be mixed between slots A and B (Using C5 or C6 in the slots, it will not make a difference) when it comes to Catalyst 9200. EXCEPT when it comes to Catalyst 9200 "L" - Which supports the C6.

The difference between C5 and C6 is that C5 can be used in any slots on both Catalyst 9200 and Catalyst 9200L and C6 is only for Catalyst 9200 and will not be compliant for Catalyst 9200L.
The meaning is merely an internal control and the equipment will recognize the module, so the C6 is not used in the Catalyst 9200L.
