separately from Cisco, part number ACS-DSBUASYN=)
Power Connectors Customers can provide power to a switch by using either the internal power supply or the Cisco Redundant
Power System (RPS) 300. The connectors are located at the back of the switch.
Internal Power Supply Connector
The internal power supply is an auto-ranging unit.
The internal power supply supports input voltages between 100 and 240 VAC.
Use the supplied AC power cord to connect the AC power connector to an AC power outlet.
Cisco RPS Connector
The connector offers connection for an optional Cisco RPS 300 that uses AC input and supplies DC output to
the switch.
The connector offers a 300-watt redundant power system that can support six external network devices and
provides power to one failed device at a time.
The connector automatically senses when the internal power supply of a connected device fails and provides
power to the failed device, preventing loss of network traffic.
When the internal power supply has been brought up or replaced, the Cisco RPS 300 automatically stops
powering the device.
Attach only the Cisco RPS 300 (model PWR300-AC-RPS-N1) to the redundant-power-supply receptacle.
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) 110,332 hours (Catalyst 3550-12G)

193,000 hours (Catalyst 3550-24)
163,000 hours (Catalyst 3550-48)
