CISCO N9K-PAC-3000W-B 3000 Watt Switching Power Supply For Cisco Nexus 9500

Description

The Cisco N9K-PAC-3000W-B is a high-performance 3000-watt AC power supply designed for the modular Cisco Nexus 9500 Series switches. This module is a “port-side intake” (back-to-front) unit, specifically engineered to support the power-intensive requirements of high-density 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet data center environments.

Key Features and Performance

• High Power Capacity: Delivers up to 3000W of reliable power on high-line voltage (200–240V AC), ensuring that fully populated chassis with high-performance line cards operate at peak efficiency.

• 80 PLUS Platinum Efficiency: Certified for over 94% efficiency at typical workloads. This minimizes power wastage and reduces heat generation, helping to lower overall data center cooling costs.

• Optimized Cooling (Port-Side Intake): Features a front-to-back airflow design (Port-Side Intake), which is critical for maintaining consistent operating temperatures within modern “hot-aisle/cold-aisle” rack configurations.

• Hot-Swappable & Redundant: Supports seamless replacement while the switch is running. It can be configured in N+1 or N+N redundancy modes, protecting the network against power supply or grid failures.

• Future-Proofing: Provides the power headroom necessary to scale your network as you add more line cards or upgrade to higher-bandwidth modules in the future.
