What's Included

(1) AC Power Cord

Keeping your branch edge platform powered reliably is non-negotiable — a single power interruption can cascade into lost connectivity, failed SD-WAN tunnels, and costly downtime across your enterprise. The Cisco PWR-CC1-650WAC is a 650-watt AC power supply engineered specifically for the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series 2RU edge platforms, including the C8300-2N2S-4T2X and C8300-2N2S-6T.

Rated at 80 Plus Gold efficiency, this PSU minimizes energy waste and thermal output while delivering a clean 12V / 54A regulated output to all internal components — routing engines, service modules, NIMs, and fans. Its universal 100–240VAC input at 50/60 Hz makes it suitable for deployments anywhere in the world, from North American branch offices to APAC data centers.

Designed with Cisco's high-availability architecture in mind, the PWR-CC1-650WAC is fully hot-swappable and supports 1+1 redundant configurations when paired with a second power supply in the same chassis. Whether you're building out a new SD-WAN site or replacing a PSU in an existing C8300 deployment, this power supply delivers the reliability and efficiency that enterprise networks demand. Each unit ships with one AC power cord included.

Features & Benefits

High-Capacity 650W Power Delivery

With a maximum output of 650 watts, the PWR-CC1-650WAC provides sufficient power headroom for fully loaded Cisco Catalyst 8300 2RU chassis. This ensures stable operation even when multiple service modules, NIMs, and high-density interface cards are installed — eliminating power-related performance throttling.

80 Plus Gold Energy Efficiency

Certified at 80 Plus Gold efficiency, this power supply converts AC input to DC output with minimal energy loss. Lower heat dissipation reduces cooling requirements and extends component lifespan, translating directly into lower electricity bills and a smaller environmental footprint for your organization.

Hot-Swappable & Redundancy-Ready

The PWR-CC1-650WAC supports hot-swap replacement, allowing your team to service or upgrade the PSU without taking the router offline. When deployed in a 1+1 redundant configuration with a matching AC power supply, the C8300 chassis maintains full operation even if one PSU fails — critical for always-on WAN and SD-WAN environments.

Universal AC Input Compatibility

Supporting an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC at 50–60 Hz, this power supply operates on virtually any commercial AC power source worldwide. This simplifies global procurement and standardization — one SKU covers every region without the need for voltage-specific variants.

Deployment Scenarios

Enterprise Branch SD-WAN Deployment

Power a fully loaded C8300-2N2S-4T2X or C8300-2N2S-6T at a large branch office running Cisco SD-WAN with multiple service modules. The 650W capacity ensures stable operation under peak traffic loads, while redundant PSU support keeps the WAN link up during maintenance windows.

Redundant Power Upgrade for Existing C8300 Chassis

Add a second PWR-CC1-650WAC to an existing single-PSU C8300 2RU deployment to achieve 1+1 power redundancy. This is a common requirement for sites moving from pilot to production status where uptime SLAs demand fault-tolerant power infrastructure.

Spare / RMA Inventory for Multi-Site Networks

Maintain PWR-CC1-650WAC units as cold spares across regional depots. The hot-swappable design means a field technician can restore power redundancy in minutes without scheduling a maintenance window, reducing mean time to repair across your C8300 fleet.

650W Maximum Output — Ample power headroom for high-density C8300 2RU configurations with populated module slots

Compatibility Notes

Compatible Platforms

The PWR-CC1-650WAC is designed for Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series 2RU edge platforms, specifically:

C8300-2N2S-4T2X — 2RU with 2 SM slots, 2 NIM slots, 2×10GE + 4×1GE ports
C8300-2N2S-6T — 2RU with 2 SM slots, 2 NIM slots, 6×1GE ports

Important: The 2RU power supplies (PWR-CC1-650WAC, PWR-CC1-1000WAC) are not interchangeable with the 1RU power supplies (PWR-CC1-250WAC, PWR-CC1-500WAC). Always verify your chassis form factor before ordering.

The orderable part number with the trailing equals sign (PWR-CC1-650WAC=) denotes the spare/standalone SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PWR-CC1-650WAC is designed for the 2RU Cisco Catalyst 8300 chassis models: the C8300-2N2S-4T2X and C8300-2N2S-6T. It is not compatible with the 1RU C8300 models (C8300-1N1S series), which use a different physical PSU form factor.

Yes. The 2RU C8300 chassis supports dual power supply slots. You can install two PWR-CC1-650WAC units in a 1+1 redundant configuration so the router continues operating if one PSU fails.

Yes. The power supply is designed for hot-swap replacement, meaning you can remove and install it without shutting down the router — provided a second PSU is installed and operational for uninterrupted service.

The unit ships with one (1) AC power cord included. No additional accessories are required for installation into a compatible C8300 2RU chassis.

Both are 2RU AC power supplies for the C8300 platform and share the same physical form factor. The PWR-CC1-1000WAC provides a higher 1000W output and includes a 250W PoE power budget, making it the right choice if your C8300 deployment requires Power over Ethernet. The PWR-CC1-650WAC is the standard non-PoE option.
