PWR-C6-1KWAC - Cisco 1000W Config 6 Power Supply

Cisco PWR-C6-1KWAC — 1000W Configurable AC Power Supply

What it is

PWR-C6-1KWAC is a Cisco configurable AC power supply that delivers 1000 watts of power to supported Cisco switches and modular systems.
It’s designed for reliable AC power delivery with hot-swappable capability and can be used as either a primary supply or part of a redundant power system in enterprise and data center environments.

Why buyers pick PWR-C6-1KWAC (plain English)

High output for greater demands
1000W of power supports devices with heavier power draws — including larger PoE budgets and additional line cards/modules.

Configurable flexibility
Built for platforms that let you choose between power supply options depending on your capacity and redundancy needs.

Enables redundancy
Install multiple PSUs (where supported) so the system stays powered even if one supply fails, improving uptime.

Hot-swappable
Can be installed or replaced while the system is running (on supported platforms), minimizing service disruption.

Cisco-qualified performance
Engineered and tested for compatible Cisco systems to ensure reliable behavior and support.

Modular PSU

Use case
Primary or redundant AC power for enterprise switches and modular systems — especially where PoE or full line card loading demands more power.

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• Enterprise access/distribution switches with higher power demands

• Systems with PoE/PoE+ devices needing larger budgets

• Redundant power configurations for improved uptime

• Modular platforms where flexible PSU choices matter

Choose something else if:

• You need still more power → 1200W/1600W/other higher-capacity PSUs

• Your platform uses fixed power supplies → platform-specific models

• You prefer DC power → DC PSU alternatives (if supported)

TL;DR

PWR-C6-1KWAC is Cisco’s 1000W configurable AC power supply —
a hot-swappable, high-capacity PSU for enterprise switches and modular systems, built to satisfy heavier power and redundancy demands.
