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.

Product Performance
Key Features
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.
The `-A` suffix identifies Network Advantage, which separates C9300-24P-A from the Network Essentials C9300-24P-E order line.
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.
C9300 models support StackWise-480 with up to eight members when the stack uses compatible C9300 switches at the same license level.
The hardware supports StackPower, so power-sharing cabling can be included when the site design requires power redundancy across stack members.
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
C9300-24P-A suits an access closet that needs 24 powered 1G edge ports and a separately chosen uplink module for aggregation.
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.
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 |
