C9300-24T-A Description
The C9300-24T-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series stackable access switch for copper wiring closets that connect desktops, printers and other data-only endpoints. The switch has 24 10/100/1000 copper ports, a modular uplink slot, 208 Gbps of switching capacity and a default 350W AC supply, and carries the Network Advantage license. The ports provide no PoE, and the switch stacks over StackWise-480 only with other Catalyst 9300 models at the same license level.

Product Performance
Key Features
The 10/100/1000 ports are fixed RJ-45 on Cat 5e. With no PoE circuitry, the 350W supply is sized for the switch alone.
The slot ships empty and takes the C9300-NM-4G for 4x 1G, the C9300-NM-8X for 8x 10G/1G SFP+ or the C9300-NM-2Q for 2x 40G. Uplink speed follows the module fitted.
VRF, VXLAN, LISP and Cisco TrustSec come with this license, so segmentation policy can start at the access layer.
BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS and MPLS are covered, along with NETCONF, RESTCONF and YANG, so the closet can take a larger routing role.
Up to eight units form one stack at 480 Gbps, and StackPower lets members share power so one failed supply does not take a member offline.
A second PWR-C1-715WAC-P or PWR-C1-1100WAC-P can be added for 1+1 redundancy. The three-fan tray is field-replaceable and N+1 redundant.
Application Scenarios
A floor closet that serves desktops, workstations and lab benches over Cat 5e cabling can use the switch’s 24 copper ports for devices that need no PoE.
With a C9300-NM-8X or C9300-NM-2Y fitted, the switch hands 10G or 25G fiber uplinks from the closet back to a distribution or core switch.
A campus design that extends VXLAN, LISP or Cisco TrustSec policy down to the access layer can run it on the switch itself rather than only at distribution.

C9300-24T-A and C9300-24T-E share the same 24 copper ports, modular uplink bay and 208 Gbps of switching capacity, and the difference is the license: Network Advantage adds BGP, EIGRP, VRF, VXLAN and Cisco TrustSec, so an access closet that only needs Layer 2 and basic routing can drop to C9300-24T-E and give those features up. Closets with more than 24 copper drops move to C9300-48T-A, with 48 ports and 256 Gbps of switching capacity on the same 350W supply. Powered endpoints need C9300-24P-A, which adds a 445W PoE budget on a 715W supply.
Ordering Checklist
- Subscription tier: Select an Advantage term such as C9300-DNA-A-24 in 3, 5 or 7 years. The subscription tier must match the Network Advantage switch license; the configurator default is Advantage for 5 years.
- Uplink module: Keep the default C9300-NM-8X, change it, or select C9300-NM-NONE. The default module is added to the order unless it is changed or removed.
- Second power supply: A second PWR-C1-350WAC-P is selected by default; C9300-SPS-NONE removes it. The second supply is added to the order unless it is removed.
- Stack cables: A default 50 cm StackWise cable (C9300-STACK-NONE removes it) and 30 cm StackPower cable (C9300-SPWR-NONE removes it) are added. Both cables are added whether or not the switch is stacked.
- Power cords: Select the cord type for the destination country. The configurator defaults to North America cords, and two cords ship per switch.
