C9300-24U-E Description
C9300-24U-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series stackable access switch for campus access deployments that need Cisco UPOE across 24 Gigabit copper ports, modular uplink flexibility, and Network Essentials software. It uses the Catalyst 9300 modular uplink architecture, supports StackWise-480 and StackPower for stack scale and power sharing, ships with a 1100W AC power supply, and provides an 830W default PoE budget for phones, wireless access points, and other powered edge devices.

Product Performance
Key Features
The `-E` suffix places this 24-port UPOE Catalyst 9300 switch in the Network Essentials order path rather than the Network Advantage path.
The `C9300-24U` hardware identity confirms 24 10/100/1000 copper downlink ports with Cisco UPOE, separating this SKU from data-only and PoE+ Catalyst 9300 options.
Cisco ordering defaults C9300 modular-uplink SKUs to C9300-NM-8X, while still allowing another C9300-NM choice or a no-network-module selection.
The C9300-24U profile ships with a PWR-C1-1100WAC-P default power supply, and Cisco lists 830W available PoE for this model.
StackWise-480 support makes this SKU part of the modular-uplink C9300 stack family, so stack cables and member compatibility belong in the bill of materials review.
StackPower support allows shared power planning across compatible Catalyst 9300 stack members when the site design includes StackPower cabling.
Application Scenarios
C9300-24U-E fits an access closet that needs 24 1G Cisco UPOE downlinks but does not require the Network Advantage order line.
This SKU fits a refresh where the access port requirement is fixed at 24 UPOE ports and the uplink order line must stay explicit, whether the default C9300-NM-8X remains in place or another supported module is selected.
The switch can be planned for a StackWise-480 and StackPower design when the stack member family, license tier, stacking cables, and power accessories are matched in the BOM.

- In a C9300-24U-E vs C9300-24U-A comparison, the table shows the same 24-port UPOE hardware profile, default power supply, PoE budget, StackWise-480, and StackPower support; the confirmed difference is Network Essentials versus Network Advantage.
- The C9300-24U-E difference from C9300-24P-E is the powered-port profile and power supply plan: C9300-24U-E is a UPOE model with an 830W default PoE budget, while C9300-24P-E is a PoE+ model with a 715W AC default supply and 445W default available PoE.
- For C9300-24U-E vs C9300-48U-E, the comparison is access density and platform capacity because the C9300-48U model has 48 UPOE ports and higher listed standalone switching and forwarding figures.
- The which model to choose check should start with Network Essentials versus Network Advantage, UPOE versus PoE+, and 24-port versus 48-port access density because those are the confirmed differences in the table.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for Essentials-tier UPOE access
Select C9300-24U-E when the BOM requires 24 1G Cisco UPOE downlink ports, modular uplink selection, and Network Essentials.
2. Move to Advantage only for that license tier
Use C9300-24U-A only when the same 24-port UPOE hardware profile must be ordered with Network Advantage.
3. Avoid PoE+ substitution
Choose C9300-24P-E only when the endpoint plan is satisfied by PoE+ rather than Cisco UPOE and the lower default PoE budget is acceptable.
4. Step up for 48 UPOE ports
Specify C9300-48U-E when one switch needs 48 UPOE downlink ports instead of the 24-port C9300-24U profile.
PoE Power Planning
|
Planning Item |
Cisco Confirmed Value |
Order Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
UPOE port class |
Cisco UPOE extends PoE+ to 60W per port |
Confirm powered endpoint requirements before replacing this SKU with a PoE+ model |
|
Default PoE budget |
C9300-24U is listed with 830W available PoE and a PWR-C1-1100WAC-P default supply |
Match endpoint count and endpoint draw to the switch-level PoE budget |
|
Power supply design |
The ordering flow adds the primary supply by hardware model and selects a secondary supply by default unless no secondary supply is chosen |
Decide whether the second supply should remain in the quote or be removed with the Cisco no-secondary-supply option |
|
StackPower |
C9300-24U supports StackPower |
Include StackPower cables only when the site power design requires shared power across stack members |
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact SKU |
C9300-24U-E |
Confirms the order is the 24-port Catalyst 9300 UPOE switch with Network Essentials |
|
Uplink module |
C9300-NM-8X default selection or another supported C9300-NM choice |
Cisco defaults C9300 modular-uplink SKUs to C9300-NM-8X, so any no-module or alternate-uplink choice must be explicit |
|
License term |
Cisco DNA Essentials 24-port 3-year, 5-year, or 7-year subscription line |
Keeps the software order aligned with the Network Essentials hardware SKU |
|
Power design |
830W PoE budget, PWR-C1-1100WAC-P primary supply, and secondary power supply selection |
Prevents a UPOE access design from being selected without the required power plan |
|
Stack accessories |
StackWise-480 cable length and StackPower cable selection |
Ensures the switch can join the intended Catalyst 9300 stack and power-sharing design |
