C9300-24H-E Description

The Cisco Catalyst C9300-24H-E is an ultra-high-power enterprise access switch designed to drive the most demanding IoT and digital building ecosystems. As a UPOE+ model in the modular Catalyst 9300 family, it features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports capable of delivering an industry-leading 90W of power per port (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4). This massive power capacity allows it to support heavy-duty endpoints such as high-brightness LED lighting, large digital signage displays, and motorized building systems that were previously impossible to power via Ethernet.

Running on the Network Essentials license, this switch provides the core Layer 2/3 features needed for a stable access network, including OSPF Routed Access and advanced security via Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA). It features a modular expansion slot for uplinks up to 40G and supports StackWise-480 technology, delivering 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. Powered by the UADP 2.0 ASIC, the C9300-24H-E is the ultimate foundation for converging IT and OT (Operational Technology) onto a single, manageable platform.

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.

Layer 3 Routed Access

Network Essentials. Includes the Network Essentials license, offering key routing features such as Static Routing and OSPF Routed Access. This allows the switch to route local traffic efficiently, isolating high-bandwidth IoT streams into separate VLANs for optimal performance.

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.

Digital Signage & Kiosks

High-Power Display. Ideal for powering large public information displays or interactive kiosks in retail and airports. The 90W budget supports the screen and the media player simultaneously, simplifying installation by removing the need for a separate AC power outlet.

Industrial Automation

Heavy-Duty IoT. Perfect for manufacturing or logistics environments where sensors, actuators, and IP cameras require high power. The rugged design and high power budget ensure reliable operation for mission-critical operational technology (OT) systems.

Selection Guide

  • Requirement for Ultra-High Power (90W)
    Select this UPOE+ model if you need to power 90W devices like large displays, high-performance VDI clients, or daisy-chained lighting fixtures. The 60W UPOE models may not suffice for these next-gen endpoints.
  • Engineering Requirement for Modular Uplinks
    Choose this modular C9300 model if you anticipate bandwidth growth. The ability to swap the uplink module allows you to migrate from 1G to 40G without replacing the switch, securing your investment.
  • Essentials License Fit
    Choose this Essentials model if your network design utilizes a standard Layer 2 Access model or basic static routing. It delivers the maximum power capability (90W) without the extra cost of advanced core routing licenses (BGP/MPLS) found in the Advantage models.
  • Maximized Power Budget
    With the ability to add a second 1100W power supply, this switch can deliver over 1800W of PoE budget, ensuring that even if every port draws high power, the switch will not falter.

Questions & Answers

  • Who needs C9300-24H-E for UPOE+ 90W and Network Essentials?

    C9300-24H-E fits 24-port 1G copper closets needing 90W UPOE+ for high-power endpoints under Network Essentials.
  • What does H mean in C9300-24H-E?

    C9300-24H-E is the 24-port 1G copper UPOE+ model, aimed at endpoints needing more power than UPOE or PoE+ access switches provide.
  • How is C9300-24H-E different from C9300-24U-E?

    C9300-24H-E targets 90W UPOE+ endpoints. C9300-24U-E targets Cisco UPOE endpoints on the same 24-port 1G copper access class.
  • Does C9300-24H-E need special power planning?

    Yes. C9300-24H-E power planning centers on 90W endpoint count, power supply size, StackPower design, and redundant power expectations.
  • Can C9300-24H-E use modular uplinks?

    Yes. C9300-24H-E uses C9300 modular uplinks, so uplink capacity is selected separately from the 24 UPOE+ downlink ports.
  • What license tier comes with C9300-24H-E?

    C9300-24H-E is the Network Essentials version. C9300-24H-A keeps the same 24-port UPOE+ hardware with Network Advantage.
  • When is C9300-24H-E the wrong 90W UPOE+ SKU?

    C9300-24H-E is wrong for data-only users, low-power phones, or standard PoE+ cameras where 90W UPOE+ is not needed.
  • What StackPower and 90W UPOE+ details matter for C9300-24H-E?

    C9300-24H-E planning depends on 24 UPOE+ ports, 90W device count, power supplies, StackPower, Network Essentials scope, uplink module choice, and stack design.
