  Power Supply Compatibility Matrix
NoteThe Catalyst 6500 series switches allow you to mix AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same 
chassis. 
NoteMany telco organizations require a –48 VDC power supply to accommodate their power distribution 
systems. From an operational perspective, the DC-input power supply has the same characteristics as the 
AC-input version.

The 950 W AC-input (PWR-950-AC) and DC-input (PWR-950-DC) power supplies can be installed in 
the Catalyst 6503 and Catalyst 6503-E switch chassis only. Due to form factor differences, the 950 W 
AC-input and DC-input power supplies cannot be installed in any other Catalyst 6500 series switch 
chassis.
