Description

The Catalyst 9300 48-port UPOE switch is a stackable enterprise access switch for campus and branch access layers that need high-density power over Ethernet. Cisco UPOE delivers up to 60W per port, which suits access points, IP phones, IoT devices, cameras and LED lighting, and the switch can serve as a Software-Defined Access fabric edge.

It provides 48 x 10/100/1000 copper ports and a modular uplink slot that accepts C9300 network modules from 4x1G through to 2x40G. Switching capacity is 256 Gbps (736 Gbps with stacking) and forwarding rate is 190.48 Mpps (547.62 Mpps with stacking). It is built on the UADP 2.0 ASIC and runs Cisco IOS XE. The default 1100W AC power supply gives 822W of available PoE, and a second power supply raises the budget. This SKU carries the Network Advantage licence, which adds advanced routing, segmentation (VRF, VXLAN, LISP, MPLS) and MACsec-256.

StackWise-480 stacking supports up to 8 members at the same licence level, and Cisco StackPower pools power across the stack. It is compatible with C9300 network modules, STACK-T1 stacking cables and USB 3.0 SSD storage modules, and it can be managed through Cisco Catalyst Center or the Meraki dashboard.

FAQs

Q: What licensing does the C9300-48U-A use?
A: It ships with the perpetual Network Advantage licence, covering advanced routing, segmentation and MACsec-256. A matching Cisco Catalyst/DNA subscription term licence is managed through Cisco Smart Licensing, and stack members must run the same licence level.

Q: How much PoE budget does it provide?
A: With the default 1100W AC power supply, available PoE is 822W. A second power supply raises this to 1172W, 1537W or 1800W depending on the secondary unit, and UPOE supports up to 60W per port.

Q: Which uplink modules does it support?
A: It supports C9300 network modules C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q and C9300-NM-2Y. C9300X-NM modules are not supported.

Q: Can it be stacked with other Catalyst 9300 switches?
A: Yes, using STACK-T1 cables at StackWise-480 speed with other C9300 and C9300X models at the same licence level, up to 8 members. It cannot be mixed with C9300L, C9300LM or C9300-xxUB models.

Q: What is the difference between the C9300-48U-A and the C9300-48U-E?
A: The hardware is the same. This -A SKU ships with the Network Advantage licence, which adds features such as MPLS, VXLAN/BGP-EVPN, LISP and MACsec-256 over the Network Essentials tier.
