Cisco PWR-C2-250WAC= 250 W AC Power Supply | Catalyst Spare, EOL

Keep Catalyst infrastructure online with a 250 W AC spare power supply designed for Config 2 systems. When a primary supply fails, this replacement part helps restore service quickly and avoid extended downtime across access switches and distribution closets. Built for Cisco Catalyst environments, this spare is intended for teams that standardize on original replacement parts to preserve compatibility and simplify field service. It is a practical choice for organizations that need a ready-to-deploy backup on hand rather than waiting through a hardware refresh cycle. For operations teams, the value is straightforward: faster recovery, less risk during maintenance windows, and a cleaner path to sustaining critical network services. In environments where a failed power supply can interrupt connected users, phones, cameras, or edge systems, keeping the correct spare in inventory is a low-friction way to protect availability. This model is identified as end-of-life, with Cisco noting EOL on 10/31/20 and EOS on 10/31/21. That makes it most relevant for installed bases that still depend on this exact power configuration and need a verified replacement part for legacy support planning.
