Key Features
Investment Protection. The defining feature of the C9300 series is its modular uplink slot. Unlike fixed switches, you can easily swap the network module to upgrade from 1G uplinks to 10G, 25G, or 40G as your network traffic increases. This allows you to extend the lifespan of the switch chassis significantly.
Digital Workspace Ready. With a default power budget of 445W distributed across 24 ports, this switch enables the deployment of high-power devices such as Wi-Fi 6 Access Points, IP phones, and security cameras. It supports Persistent PoE, ensuring devices stay powered even during a switch reboot.

Proactive Threat Defense. Capable of Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA), the switch uses machine learning to identify malware signatures in encrypted traffic without decryption. It also features Trustworthy Systems (Secure Boot, Image Signing) to protect the hardware from tampering and counterfeiting.
Network Essentials. Includes the Network Essentials license, which provides key routing features such as Static Routing, RIP, and OSPF Routed Access. This enables the switch to handle local traffic routing between VLANs, improving network efficiency and reducing the load on upstream routers.
Edge Computing. The powerful x86 CPU allows the switch to host third-party applications in Docker containers. This capability enables IT teams to run network monitoring tools (like ThousandEyes agents) or security sensors directly on the switch, providing deep visibility without extra server hardware.
Application Scenarios
Wireless Backhaul. The perfect switch for connecting a cluster of next-generation Wi-Fi 6 Access Points. The modular uplinks allow you to upgrade to 10G or 25G connectivity to the core, preventing bottlenecks as wireless speeds increase, while the PoE+ budget powers the APs reliably.
Resilient Access. Ideal for branch offices where uptime is non-negotiable. The dual redundant power supplies and StackWise-480 technology ensure that a single component failure does not disrupt business operations, maintaining connectivity for VoIP and critical apps.
Automated Security. Perfect for connecting IoT devices like security cameras and building sensors. The advanced security features like MACsec and TrustSec segmentation ensure that IoT devices are authenticated and isolated from critical corporate data traffic.

Selection Guide
- Engineering Requirement for Modular Uplinks
Choose this C9300 modular model over the C9300L fixed model if you anticipate bandwidth growth. The ability to swap the uplink module allows you to migrate from 1G to 10G, 25G, or 40G without replacing the switch, protecting 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 provides all the necessary management and security features for a robust access network without the added cost of advanced core routing licenses (BGP/MPLS). - High-Density Stacking Needs
If you are building a large stack of switches (e.g., 6-8 units), this model’s StackWise-480 technology provides significantly higher backplane throughput (480 Gbps) than the C9300L series, preventing congestion in high-traffic aggregation scenarios. - Reliable PoE+ Delivery
With a 445W budget, this switch is perfect for standard deployments of IP phones and APs. If you need higher power density (e.g., UPOE for lighting or high-power turrets), consider upgrading to the C9300-24U models.
