The C9500-16X-E is the Cisco Catalyst 9500 16-port 10G switch with the Network Essentials license. The C9500-16X base model has 16 ports of 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet with SFP/SFP+ in a 1RU chassis that measures 1.73 x 17.5 x 21.52 in. (4.39 x 44.45 x 54.66 cm). With two power supplies and the fan it weighs 23.6 lb (10.7 kg).
Switching capacity is up to 480 Gbps and forwarding reaches up to 360 Mpps on the UADP 2.0 ASIC. The C9500-16X first shipped with Cisco IOS XE Software Release 16.8.1. All Catalyst 9500 switches ship with a 650W, 950W, 1500W or 1600W AC power supply as the default, and the input voltage range is 90 to 264 VAC.
The default configuration does not include a network module. The C9500-16X accepts both the C9500-NM-8X, an 8-port 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP/SFP+ module, and the C9500-NM-2Q, a 2-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ module, for extra uplinks.
Ordering variants of the same switch are the C9500-16X-A with the Network Advantage license, the C9500-16X-2Q-E with a 2 x 40GE network module and Network Essentials, and the C9500-16X-2Q-A with the module and Network Advantage. The C9500-16X-A Catalyst 9500 16-port 10G switch and the C9500-24Y4C-E 24-port 25G switch are on the site, and more models are in Cisco switches.
