Cisco C9500-DNX-A-48Y-5Y 48P 25G Fiber 5-Year License | Enterprise — C9500-DNX-A-48Y-5Y

Extend the life and planning horizon of your Cisco Catalyst 9500 deployment with a 5-year software subscription aligned to 48-port, 25G fiber switching. This is the kind of licensing model infrastructure teams choose when they want to keep the platform current without renegotiating support and software access every year. For high-density fiber environments, subscription coverage helps preserve budget predictability while keeping the switch on a defined software path. That matters in networks where change control is strict, maintenance windows are limited, and the cost of drift is high. The 5-year term is especially valuable for organizations standardizing on Catalyst 9500 as a core switching tier. It supports longer procurement cycles, simplifies lifecycle planning, and reduces the friction of annual renewals. For teams responsible for campus or aggregation switching, this license helps protect the investment in a platform built for sustained throughput and operational stability.
