Cisco® is announcing the 8700 Watt (W) enhanced AC power supply (Figure 1) for Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series Switches, with remote power restart and shutdown capability. A Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch configured with the 8700W enhanced AC power supply will support up to 420 IEEE 802.3af Class 3 (15.4W) Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices with full redundancy in a single chassis, providing superior PoE scalability.
Figure 1. Cisco 8700W Enhanced AC Power Supply for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches
The 8700W enhanced AC power supply provides the ability to remotely power cycle or shut down a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch for maintenance using Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) built-in external relay contacts in the front-panel terminal block interface. The power supply relay contacts can be controlled through any appropriate third-party relay controller.
Features
• PoE scalability: Supports up to 420 IEEE 802.3af Class 3 (15.4W) PoE devices in a single chassis with full redundancy, thus reducing total cost of ownership for high-density PoE deployments in the campus access layer.
• Remote power restart using external relay controller: Remotely power cycle or shut down the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch using any appropriate third-party relay controller without needing access to the supervisor engine CLI, thereby reducing maintenance costs and improving MTTR.
• Remote power restart via Cisco IOS® Software CLI: Remotely power cycle the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch via Cisco IOS Software CLI, thereby reducing maintenance costs and improving MTTR.
• Multiple (triple) input: Scales the system power depending on the need (scale as you grow), with fully isolated inputs. providing flexibility.
• Universal input (110-220VAC, 50-60Hz): Flexibility to provision circuits with either high-input voltage (200-240V) or low-input voltage (100-120V) depending on availability and power output needs.
• Compatible with 6-, 9-, and 13-slot chassis: Ability to install the 8700W enhanced AC power supply into existing Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch chassis provides investment protection.
