C9300-24H-A Description

The Cisco Catalyst C9300-24H-A is the industry's most advanced high-power enterprise switch, built to power the future of smart buildings and IoT convergence. As the flagship UPOE+ model in the Catalyst 9300 family, it features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports capable of delivering up to 90W per port (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4). This immense power capacity, combined with a robust 830W default budget, allows it to support the most demanding endpoints, including USB-C laptop charging stations, high-density LED lighting grids, and industrial automation sensors.

Equipped with the Network Advantage software license, this switch offers the complete suite of enterprise capabilities, including full Layer 3 routing (BGP, MPLS), VRF segmentation, and comprehensive SD-Access fabric roles (Control/Border Node). It features a modular expansion slot for uplinks up to 40G and supports StackWise-480 technology for superior scale. Powered by the UADP 2.0 ASIC and x86 CPU, the C9300-24H-A provides a secure, programmable, and future-proof foundation for mission-critical OT/IT integration.

Key Features

Ultra-High Power UPOE+ (90W)

Maximum Density. Delivers up to 90 Watts per port, complying with the IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 standard. This capability enables the switch to power the most demanding IoT devices, including USB-C charged laptops, large LCD displays, and industrial sensors, creating a true single-cable solution for power and data.

Future-Proof Modular Uplinks

Flexible Scalability. Features a modular uplink slot that supports 1G, 10G, 25G, and 40G network modules. This design flexibility allows IT teams to upgrade uplink speeds as bandwidth requirements increase, ensuring the switch remains relevant for years to come.

StackWise-480 Resiliency

Unified Operations. Supports the stacking of up to 8 switches into a single logical unit with 480 Gbps of backplane throughput. This simplifies management and provides critical redundancy, ensuring that power and data services remain uninterrupted even if a member switch fails.

Enterprise Security & ETA

IoT Defense. Equipped with Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) to identify malware in encrypted traffic without decryption. Combined with Cisco TrustSec and MACsec encryption, it secures the expanding attack surface of IoT devices, preventing them from becoming entry points for cyber threats.

Network Advantage Intelligence

Full Core Routing. Includes the top-tier Network Advantage license, enabling advanced protocols like BGP, IS-IS, and MPLS. This allows the switch to function as a powerful distribution or core node, handling complex WAN peering, VRF segmentation, and IoT traffic isolation directly at the edge.

Application Hosting

Edge Intelligence. The x86 CPU architecture supports hosting third-party applications in Docker containers. This allows for the deployment of edge computing applications, such as building management systems or environmental monitoring agents, directly on the switch hardware.

Application Scenarios

Smart Office Desks

Laptop Charging. The 90W UPOE+ capability can power USB-C dongles that charge employee laptops directly via the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for bulky power bricks at every desk, creating a cleaner, more flexible workspace environment.

Intelligent Building Systems

HVAC & Lighting Control. Ideally suited for the “Digital Ceiling.” It can power and control heavy-duty motorized window shades, high-lumen LED lighting, and HVAC actuators, converging building automation systems onto a single, secure IP network for energy efficiency.

Industrial Automation

Rugged Connectivity. Perfect for manufacturing floors requiring high power for industrial sensors, robotic arms, or PTZ thermal cameras. The advanced routing and segmentation features ensure that critical OT traffic is isolated from the corporate IT network, preventing interference and cyber threats.

Selection Guide

  • Requirement for Ultra-High Power (90W)
    Select this UPOE+ model if you need to power 90W endpoints like high-brightness displays, heavy-duty actuators, or USB-C laptop charging docks. The 60W UPOE models cannot support these high-draw applications.
  • Engineering Requirement for Full Routing
    Choose this Advantage model over the Essentials version if your network design requires full dynamic routing (BGP, MPLS) or complex VRF segmentation. It is the mandatory choice for sites acting as an SD-Access Control Plane or Border Node.
  • Modular Scalability
    Choose this modular C9300 model if you anticipate bandwidth growth. The ability to swap uplink modules (1G to 40G) provides a clear upgrade path without replacing the switch, unlike fixed uplink models.
  • Digital Building Convergence
    This switch is the ultimate platform for converging IT and OT networks. Its combination of 90W power, high security (ETA), and edge computing (App Hosting) makes it uniquely capable of managing smart building ecosystems securely.

    C9300-24H-A fits 24-port 1G copper access where 90W UPOE+ endpoint power, StackPower, and Network Advantage features are all needed.
  • What does C9300-24H-A add over C9300-24H-E?

    C9300-24H-A keeps the same 24-port UPOE+ hardware and moves the software tier to Network Advantage for richer routing and policy designs.
  • Can C9300-24H-A power Wi-Fi 6E or building devices?

    C9300-24H-A is the 90W UPOE+ 24-port option for high-power access points, smart building devices, and endpoints beyond UPOE demand.
  • How does C9300-24H-A compare with C9300-24UXB-A for 90W versus mGig?

    C9300-24H-A favors 90W UPOE+ endpoint power on 1G ports. C9300-24UXB-A favors 10G/mGig access speed with UPOE in higher-scale stacks.
  • Does C9300-24H-A require Network Advantage license and DNA planning?

    C9300-24H-A already carries Network Advantage, so the buying decision shifts to DNA term, feature use, and whether the extra software scope is required.
  • Can C9300-24H-A join a standard C9300 stack?

    Yes. C9300-24H-A is a standard C9300 modular-uplink switch and can use StackWise-480 with compatible C9300 stack members.
  • When is C9300-24H-A the wrong SKU?

    C9300-24H-A is wrong for 10G/mGig copper access, SFP fiber downlinks, or lower-cost Network Essentials deployments.
  • What Network Advantage and 90W UPOE+ details matter for C9300-24H-A?

    C9300-24H-A planning depends on 90W UPOE+ load, Network Advantage features, DNA term, modular uplinks, StackPower pool, PSU redundancy, and StackWise-480 topology.
