Cisco Catalyst PWR-RPS2300 V01 Rack Redundant Power System C3K-PWR-750WAC
Price: US $59.00

The Cisco Redundant Power System 2300 (PWR-RPS2300) is a 1RU (Rack Unit) hardware device designed to prevent network downtime. It connects up to six devices (like Cisco Catalyst switches or routers) and can actively power two failing devices at the same time. [1, 2, 3, 4]


Power & Performance Specifications


The chassis does not come with built-in power supplies. It features two modular power bays that must be filled with compatible external modules. [1, 2, 3]


  • Supported Power Modules: Cisco C3K-PWR-750WAC or C3K-PWR-1150WAC.

  • Maximum Output Power: Up to 2300W (when using two 1150W modules).

  • Input Voltage: 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.

  • Maximum Heat Dissipation: 1963 BTU per hour. [1, 2, 3, 4]

DC Output Performance Matrix


The total amount of backup power delivered changes depending on the power supply configuration you use: [1, 2]

Note: The maximum power allowed per single RPS port is capped at 300W for 12V and 800W for -52V. [1]


Physical & Environmental Specifications


Measurements vary based on how many power supply modules are inserted into the rear bays: [1]


  • Chassis Dimensions (H x W x D): 1.75 x 17.5 x 17.15 inches (4.5 x 44.5 x 43.6 cm) without modules.

  • Chassis Depth with 1150W Module: Increases to 20.6 inches (52.4 cm).

  • Chassis Weight (Empty): 10.8 lbs (4.9 kg).

  • Chassis Weight (Fully Loaded): 22 lbs (10 kg) with two 1150W modules.

  • Operating Temperature: 23°F to 113°F (–5°C to 45°C).

  • Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): 170,000 hours. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Compatibility & Connection


  • Device Ports: 6 RPS connectors using specialized Cisco RPS cables.

  • Management Interface: Can be managed via CLI (Command Line Interface) or Cisco Network Assistant.

  • Compatible Switches: Commonly used with Cisco Catalyst 2960, 3560, 3560-E, 3750, and 3750-E series switches.

  • Incompatible Modules: The chassis strictly does not support C3K-PWR-265AC or C3K-PWR-265DC power modules
