The C9606R is the only chassis in the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series. It has six slots: two supervisor slots, numbered 3 and 4 and set up for redundancy, and four line card slots. Supervisors supported are the C9600-SUP-1 and the C9600X-SUP-2.
Switching capacity reaches 25.6 Tbps, or 12.8 Tbps full-duplex, with up to 6.4 Tbps per slot when the chassis carries the C9600X-SUP-2 and 2.4 Tbps per slot with the C9600-SUP-1. The chassis scales to 224 native 10, 25 or 50 Gigabit SFP56 ports, up to 128 native 40 or 100 Gigabit QSFP28 ports, or up to 8 native 400 Gigabit QSFP-DD ports.
It takes four power supply bays, with 3000 W AC, 2000 W AC and 2000 W DC supplies supported and a minimum of two installed; a fully loaded chassis on 110 V input needs at least three. Cooling comes from one C9606-FAN tray with nine redundant fans and side-to-side airflow, and the tray can also be reached from the rear for cable management.
The chassis is 8 RU tall and measures 35.43 x 44.2 x 40.9 cm. It weighs 31.31 kg with two AC supplies and the fan tray, and 25.36 kg without fan tray or supplies. AC input is 90 to 264 V at 47 to 63 Hz and DC input is -40 to -72 V. Heat output is 1,621 BTU at most, and MTBF is 4,113,900 hours.
The supervisor and line card slots are front accessible, and every removable part carries an RFID tag. A common first module is the C9600-SUP-1, and 25G access is added with the C9600-LC-48YL.
