Appendix A Power Supply Specifications
8700 W AC-Input Power Supply
8700 W AC-Input Power Supply
Catalyst 6500 series switch support for the 8700 W AC-input (WS-CAC-8700W-E) power supply along
with any power supply output restrictions are listed in Table A-21.
The 8700 W AC-input power supply, shown in Figure A-17, shares a similar, but not identical,
form-factor as the 1000 W, 1300 W, 2500 W, 3000 W, 4000 W, and 6000 W power supplies.
Note Because of the form-factor difference, when you install an 8700 W power supply in a Catalyst 6506,
Catalyst 6509, or Catalyst 6509-NEB chassis you must relocate the system ground connection from the
chassis ground pad connection to the two system ground studs located on the 8700 W power supply
faceplate. Installing an 8700 W power supply in the other Catalyst 6500 series chassis do not require that
you move the chassis system ground connection to the power supply.

1. The 6000 W power supply operating on two 110 VAC inputs delivers 2900 W.
2. When operating with 100–120VAC, you must use two AC power cords and the power supply output is limited to 2900 W.
3. The PDU power cable is designed for users who power their switch from a PDU. The end of the cable that plugs into the Catalyst 6500 series switch
chassis has a C19 connector; the other end of the cable that plugs into the PDU has a C20 connector.
