Three AC inputs, each rated 16 A, sit on the WS-CAC-8700W-E, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 8700 W enhanced AC-input power supply, and each input needs its own dedicated fused branch circuit, 20 A in North America. Output depends on how many cords are attached and at what voltage: 2800 W, 4200 W, 5800 W or the full 8700 W, which needs all three inputs on high-line 220 VAC. With only one cord on low-line 110 VAC the supply will not power up. The spare number is WS-CAC-8700W-E=.
Chassis limits apply. Output is capped at 4000 W in the Catalyst 6506, 6509 and 6509-NEB, at 4500 W in the 6509-NEB-A and at 6000 W in the 6513, while the 6506-E, 6509-E, 6509-V-E and 6513-E have no restriction. The supply cannot go into a 6503, 6503-E or 6504-E, and in the 6506, 6509 and 6509-NEB the system ground moves to the two ground studs on its faceplate, as its form factor differs slightly from the other supplies.
The unit weighs 39.7 lb (18 kg), holds up for at least 20 ms, is rated 10.4 kVA and dissipates 34,800 BTU/hour at 8700 W. There is no DC-input model at this rating, and the 6000 W WS-CAC-6000W sits below it in the AC range. Related items are in the Cisco misc category.
