The Cisco C9300-48U-E is a Catalyst 9300 stackable enterprise access switch that provides 48x 10/100/1000 Cisco UPOE ports and modular uplinks (C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, C9300-NM-2Y network modules), with a 822 W Cisco UPOE (60W) power budget for phones, wireless access points and cameras. It delivers 256 Gbps of switching capacity and a forwarding rate of 190.48 Mpps, ensuring wire-speed performance for everyday business traffic.

The Catalyst 9300 is Cisco's flagship stackable enterprise access platform. It combines the UADP 2.0 ASIC with Cisco IOS XE to deliver high-scale Layer 3 routing, SD-Access fabric edge functionality, wired and wireless convergence, application hosting and strong security features such as MACsec-256 and Cisco Trustworthy Solutions. StackWise-480 and StackPower provide resilient stacking of up to eight switches, while field-replaceable power supplies, fans and uplink network modules maximise uptime and flexibility.

This part number ships with the Network Essentials software license; Network Essentials covers the Layer 2 and Layer 3 access feature set, with an upgrade path to Network Advantage. A Cisco DNA / Catalyst subscription is ordered together with the switch. It is well suited to enterprise wiring closets, branch offices and campus access layers where powered endpoints such as IP phones, Wi-Fi access points and security cameras need to be supported.
