C9300-24P-A Description

C9300-24P-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 stackable access switch with 24 10/100/1000 PoE+ copper ports, a modular uplink slot, StackWise-480 stacking, StackPower support, and the Network Advantage license level.

This SKU fits campus access refreshes where the bill of materials needs PoE+ edge ports and room to select the uplink module separately. The closest order split is C9300-24P-E for the same 24-port PoE+ hardware with Network Essentials, while C9300-24T-A removes PoE and C9300-48P-A doubles the PoE+ port count.

Procurement review should pin down the uplink network module, power supply plan, StackWise-480 and StackPower cabling, Cisco DNA Advantage subscription term, power cords, quote requirements, availability check, and support coverage before the order is released.

Key Features

24-port PoE+ Catalyst 9300 identity

The SKU maps to the C9300-24P hardware profile, so the order is for 24 1G copper access ports with PoE+ rather than a data-only or UPOE model.

Network Advantage license level

The `-A` suffix identifies Network Advantage, which separates C9300-24P-A from the Network Essentials C9300-24P-E order line.

Modular uplink choice

C9300 modular-uplink switches do not include the network module by default, so the quote must add the selected 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, or mGig uplink module when required.

StackWise-480 stack design

C9300 models support StackWise-480 with up to eight members when the stack uses compatible C9300 switches at the same license level.

StackPower planning

The hardware supports StackPower, so power-sharing cabling can be included when the site design requires power redundancy across stack members.

PoE power supply checkpoint

Cisco lists 445W available PoE with the default 715W AC supply for C9300-24P, and all-port PoE+ planning may require a 1100W supply or two 715W supplies.

Application Scenarios

Medium-density PoE+ access closet

C9300-24P-A suits an access closet that needs 24 powered 1G edge ports and a separately chosen uplink module for aggregation.

Advantage-tier campus standard

The SKU fits a campus standard that requires Network Advantage on a Catalyst 9300 PoE+ access switch instead of the Essentials tier used by C9300-24P-E.

StackWise-480 expansion

The switch can extend a C9300 StackWise-480 access stack when the license level, stack member family, stack cables, and power plan match the existing design.

  • In a C9300-24P-A vs C9300-24P-E comparison, the downlink ports, PoE+ role, modular uplink slot, and performance figures align; the table difference is Network Advantage versus Network Essentials.
  • The C9300-24P-A difference from C9300-24T-A is PoE+, because the 24T model is a 24-port data switch with a 350W AC supply and no PoE budget.
  • For C9300-24P-A vs C9300-48P-A, the comparison turns on port count and power planning: the 48P model has 48 PoE+ ports, a different default available PoE value, and higher listed switching capacity.
  • The which model to choose check should start with license tier, PoE requirement, and 24-port versus 48-port access density because those are the confirmed technical differences in the table.

Selection Guide

1. Choose it for 24-port PoE+ Advantage access

Select C9300-24P-A when the access design needs 24 1G PoE+ downlink ports, a modular uplink slot, StackWise-480, StackPower, and Network Advantage.

2. Keep the E model for Essentials licensing

Choose C9300-24P-E only when the same 24-port PoE+ hardware profile should ship with Network Essentials instead of Network Advantage.

3. Move to a data-only model when PoE is not needed

Use C9300-24T-A when the wiring closet needs 24 1G copper access ports but powered endpoints are outside the scope of the order.

4. Step up to 48P for higher PoE+ port density

Specify C9300-48P-A when the confirmed access design needs 48 PoE+ ports on one Catalyst 9300 switch rather than a 24-port PoE+ model.

PoE Power Planning

Planning Item

Cisco Confirmed Value

Order Impact

Default available PoE

C9300-24P is listed with 445W available PoE when shipped with the 715W AC supply

Match the endpoint count and endpoint draw to the default power budget if no extra supply is added

720W PoE headroom

Cisco lists 720W available PoE for C9300-24P with a PWR-C1-1100WAC-P upgrade or with a supported secondary supply

Add the right supply option when every port may need PoE+ headroom

Power supply slots

Catalyst 9300 switches have two internal power supply module slots

Include a second supply or blank module plan so the chassis is not left with an open slot

StackPower

C9300-24P supports StackPower

Include StackPower cables only when the stack design calls for shared power across members

Ordering Checklist

Check Item

What to Confirm

Why It Matters

Exact SKU

C9300-24P-A

Confirms the order is the 24-port PoE+ Catalyst 9300 model with Network Advantage

Uplink module

C9300-NM module family and required port speeds

The base switch uses modular uplinks and the default configuration does not include the network module

License tier

Network Advantage plus matching Cisco DNA Advantage term

Prevents substituting C9300-24P-E or an Essentials subscription line

PoE budget

445W default PoE or all-port PoE+ supply requirement

Keeps powered endpoint planning tied to Cisco-confirmed power supply combinations

Stack design

StackWise-480 members and StackPower cabling

Prevents mixing incompatible stack members or omitting required stack accessories

Commercial details

Price request, availability check, warranty support, and shipping destination

Questions & Answers

  • What is Cisco C9300-24P-A designed for?

    Cisco C9300-24P-A is designed for 24-port Gigabit access closets that need PoE+ endpoint power, modular uplinks, stacking, and Network Advantage licensing. It fits access layers with phones, cameras, wireless access points, and stronger software requirements.
  • How much PoE capability does C9300-24P-A provide?

    C9300-24P-A is a PoE+ model, so it can power compatible endpoints across its 24 access ports within the available switch power budget. The exact usable device count depends on endpoint wattage, power supplies, and redundancy design.
  • How is C9300-24P-A different from C9300-24P-E?

    C9300-24P-A and C9300-24P-E have the same 24-port PoE+ hardware role, but C9300-24P-A ships with Network Advantage. The E model is the better lower-tier choice when Network Essentials is enough.
  • How is C9300-24P-A different from C9300-24T-A?

    C9300-24P-A adds PoE+ power delivery, while C9300-24T-A is data-only. Choose C9300-24P-A when phones, cameras, or access points need power from the switch.
  • Can C9300-24P-A power wireless access points?

    Yes. C9300-24P-A can power PoE+ wireless access points when the total power demand fits the available PoE budget. For high-power APs or larger power reserves, review UPOE models such as C9300-24U-A or C9300-24UX-A.
  • What uplink modules can C9300-24P-A use?

    C9300-24P-A uses modular Catalyst 9300 uplinks, allowing 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, or multigigabit uplink choices with the right network module. This helps the switch adapt to different campus uplink designs.
  • Can C9300-24P-A be stacked with other C9300 switches?

    Yes. C9300-24P-A supports StackWise-480 and StackPower, which is useful for PoE access closets where power resiliency and single-system management matter. StackPower planning is especially important when many ports provide PoE.
  • When is C9300-24P-A not the right choice?

    C9300-24P-A is not the right choice when the site needs 48 PoE+ ports, multigigabit access, or only a Network Essentials license. C9300-48P-A, C9300-24UX-A, or C9300-24P-E may fit those requirements better.
