C9600 50G & 25G compatibility

GVD
Level 1
Level 1

Looking into following line cards for the C9600:

C9600-LC-48YL
C9600-LC-40YL4CD

both seem to support 50Gbps SFP56. 
Does this mean that these line cards can take 10G SFP+ , 25G SFP28 and 50G SFP56 form factor? meaning those form factors are all compatible?

According to the datasheet:

C9600-LC-40YL4CD Comes with 40 ports of 10/25/50 and 2 ports of 40/100/200

Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Combo line card

40 ports 50/25/10GE SFP56

2 ports 200/100/40GE QSFP56 uplinks

C9600-LC-48YL is 1/10/25

C9600-LC-48YL

Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series 48-port 25GE/10GE/1GE

following document mentions the C9600-LC-48YL also supporting 50Gbps, when paired with the new 9600X-SUP-2 supervisor.

It appears that way. If you are planning on purchasing this module, I would double-check on this first to make sure that is actually the case.

  • Provides 48 50G, 25G, 10G, or 1G interfaces by default. These ports can be interchangeably used as 50G, 25G, 10G, and 1G ports.

  • When used in conjunction with C9600X-SUP-2, all the 48 ports support 50G, 25G, and 10G speeds. With C9600-SUP-1, all the 48 ports support 25G, 10G, or 1G speeds.
