What Is the Cisco CP-6825-3PC-BUN-UK? Power Bundle Features, Regional Compliance, and Use Cases

​​Overview of the CP-6825-3PC-BUN-UK​​

The Cisco CP-6825-3PC-BUN-UK is a ​​pre-configured power bundle​​ for the Catalyst 6800 Series switches, combining a ​​3000W AC power supply​​ with region-specific components for UK deployments. Designed to streamline installations, it ensures compliance with local electrical standards while supporting high-density Power over Ethernet (PoE) and non-PoE workloads.

​​Technical Specifications​​

• ​​Input Voltage​​: 220-240V AC, 50Hz, compliant with UK BS 1363 standards.
• ​​Output​​: Delivers ​​3000W total power​​, with up to ​​2400W allocated for PoE+ devices​​ (30W per port).
• ​​Included Components​​: UK power cords, mounting brackets, and grounding cables.
• ​​Compatibility​​: Exclusively supports Catalyst 6807-XL and 6880-X chassis running IOS-XE 16.6.1 or later.

​​Key Use Cases​​

UK Enterprise Networks

Ideal for hospitals, universities, or government facilities requiring localized compliance and high PoE+ capacity for ​​IP phones, security cameras, and wireless APs​​.

Data Center Edge Deployments

Provides reliable power for aggregation switches handling traffic from IoT devices or distributed IT infrastructure.

​​Addressing Common User Questions​​

​​Q: Can this bundle be used outside the UK?​​
A: No. The included ​​UK power cords and voltage specifications​​ are region-locked. For other regions, use a region-specific bundle (e.g., CP-6825-3PC-BUN-EU).

​​Q: Does it support PoE++ (90W) or UPOE?​​
A: No. The bundle is limited to ​​PoE+ (30W per port)​​. For higher wattage, consider Cisco’s UPOE-enabled modules.

​​Procurement and Installation​​

The CP-6825-3PC-BUN-UK simplifies deployment by including all necessary components for UK compliance. For verified pricing and availability, visit the “CP-6825-3PC-BUN-UK” product page.

​​Final Perspective​​

While the CP-6825-3PC-BUN-UK offers convenience for UK-based Catalyst 6800 Series users, its regional limitations highlight a broader challenge: balancing standardization with localization. For organizations anchored in the UK, this bundle reduces deployment headaches. However, global enterprises might prefer modular power systems that adapt to multi-regional grids—even if it means sourcing additional components separately.
