Frequently asked questions
How much does the Cisco Catalyst 9600 48-Port 25G Line Card (C9600-LC-48YL) cost?
Uniqcli sells the C9600-LC-48YL for $20,748.27 against a Cisco list price of $30,019.94. Add it to your cart and submit to confirm current pricing, stock, and lead time. Lower pricing is available for volume orders, Government Purchase Card (GPC) buys, and emergency or urgent acquisitions. Free US shipping on orders over $2,500.00.
Is the C9600-LC-48YL TAA compliant and available for government and DoD buyers?
Often yes, but it depends on the unit. Cisco manufactures the C9600-LC-48YL in several countries, so Trade Agreements Act (TAA) status varies by production lot. Uniqcli is an authorized Cisco partner: we confirm the country of origin before shipment, and if a given C9600-LC-48YL is not TAA-designated, we will source a TAA-certified equivalent of the same model. Either way the result is DoDIN APL-ready procurement for US federal, DoD, state, local, education, healthcare, and enterprise buyers, with Government Purchase Card (GPC) acceptance and FAR-based urgent and emergency acquisition support. Request a TAA-compliant quote for the C9600-LC-48YL and a specialist will confirm compliance, price, and lead time, usually within one business day.
Can I buy the C9600-LC-48YL as a single unit or in volume?
Both. Order a single C9600-LC-48YL through the cart, or ask about lower pricing for volume orders, Government Purchase Card (GPC) purchases, and emergency or urgent (FAR-based) acquisitions. There is no payment up front: we confirm availability and the final total before invoicing.
Where can I find the C9600-LC-48YL datasheet and specifications?
The specifications section on this page lists the published specs for the C9600-LC-48YL, including ports, power, and dimensions where Cisco publishes them. Ask us for the full Cisco datasheet and we will send the current PDF with your quote.
Need the C9600-LC-48YL TAA-compliant for federal or DoD?
Cisco builds this model in multiple countries, so TAA status depends on the production lot. We confirm country of origin before shipment, and if a unit isn't TAA-designated, we'll quote a TAA-certified equivalent of the same model, DoDIN APL-ready and GPC-payable.
