Overview
The C9600-SUP-1 is the supervisor engine for the modular Catalyst 9600 chassis, providing the control plane and centralized forwarding for campus-core deployments. It drives up to 9.6 Tbps of system capacity (2.4 Tbps per line-card slot) with redundant supervisor support for non-stop forwarding. The supervisor enables SD-Access, VXLAN BGP EVPN, and StackWise Virtual across line cards. It is the foundation for highly available, modular campus cores.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Supervisor Engine 1 (C9600-SUP-1) cost?
Uniqcli sells the C9600-SUP-1 for $42,838.08 against a Cisco list price of $63,128.72. 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-SUP-1 TAA compliant and available for government and DoD buyers?
Often yes, but it depends on the unit. Cisco manufactures the C9600-SUP-1 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-SUP-1 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-SUP-1 and a specialist will confirm compliance, price, and lead time, usually within one business day.
Can I buy the C9600-SUP-1 as a single unit or in volume?
Both. Order a single C9600-SUP-1 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-SUP-1 datasheet and specifications?
The specifications section on this page lists the published specs for the C9600-SUP-1, 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-SUP-1 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.
