Catalyst 9600X fiber line cards 40-port 50G/25G/10G SFP56 with 400G QSFP-DD, 200G QSFP56 fiber

40-port 50/25/10GE, 2-port 200GE, 2-port 400GE line card

Line card use cases:

• C9600X-LC-40YL4CD combo card is specifically designed for medium-high port-density Campus Core or Distribution designs, with both SFP and QSFP optics.
• The traditional 2-row 1RU design provides 40 ports of multi-rate SFP56 ports to connect to downstream devices (for example, Access switches).
• The same line card also provides 2 ports of multi-rate QSFP28 ports and two port of multi-rate QSFP-DD to connect to upstream devices (for example, SP or DC switches), without need for addition modules.
• This line card can also operate with both Supervisor Engine 2 or Supervisor Engine 1, providing increased flexibility and reusability.

Line card highlights:

• Paired with C9600X-SUP-2 (3.2 Tbps full-duplex bandwidth), this line card provides up to 40 non-blocking ports of 50/25/10/1GE¹, 2 ports of 40/100/200² GE and 2 ports of 400GE.
• Paired with C9600-SUP-1 (1.2 Tbps full-duplex bandwidth),  
  this line card provides up to 40 non-blocking ports of 25/10/1GE and 2 ports of 40/100GE.
• 50/25/10GE SFP56, 100GE QSFP28, 200GE² QSFP56 and 400GE QSFP-DD ports.
• Advanced Encryption Standard 256 (AES-256) support with the powerful MACsec and WAN MACsec encryption algorithm³.
