C9300-24UB-A Description
C9300-24UB-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 higher-scale stackable access switch with 24 10/100/1000 UPOE copper ports, modular uplinks, Network Advantage, 830W available PoE with the default 1100W AC power supply, StackWise-480, and StackPower.
The procurement difference is not port speed; C9300-24UB-A keeps the 24-port 1G UPOE access profile while moving into the higher-scale Catalyst 9300 group with a 32-MB packet buffer, 64,000 MAC addresses, and 112,000 IPv4 routes. C9300-24U-A is the standard-scale Network Advantage alternative, while C9300-24UXB-A is the higher-scale 10G/mGig UPOE model.
Quote review should separate the higher-scale stack family from standard C9300 members, then confirm whether the default C9300-NM-8X uplink module remains in the order, which Advantage subscription term is selected, the 1100W power plan, StackWise cable length, StackPower cabling, power cord region, availability check, warranty support, and shipping destination.

Product Performance
Key Features
The `24UB` hardware profile marks this as a 24-port 1G Cisco UPOE Catalyst 9300 switch in the higher-scale group, not the standard C9300-24U order line.
The `-A` suffix ties the hardware to Network Advantage, while the same higher-scale 24-port UPOE hardware is also listed as C9300-24UB-E with Network Essentials.
Cisco lists the higher-scale Gigabit Ethernet models with a 32-MB packet buffer, a key distinction from standard 24-port and 48-port Gigabit Ethernet C9300 models.
The higher-scale Catalyst 9300 column lists 64,000 MAC addresses, 112,000 IPv4 routes, 56,000 IPv6 routing entries, 18,000 QoS entries, and 18,000 ACL scale entries.
Cisco states that C9300-24UB, C9300-24UXB, and C9300-48UB higher-scale SKUs need to be stacked with other higher-scale models.
Cisco ordering defaults C9300 modular-uplink SKUs to C9300-NM-8X, while still allowing another C9300-NM choice or a no-network-module selection.
Application Scenarios
C9300-24UB-A fits a Catalyst 9300 access stack that needs 24 1G UPOE ports plus the higher-scale buffer and table profile of the UB hardware family.
The SKU suits a Network Advantage campus standard where the BOM must avoid the C9300-24UB-E Essentials line but still stay with the 24-port 1G UPOE higher-scale hardware.
Use this model only where the stack plan is based on higher-scale Catalyst 9300 members, because Cisco separates C9300-24UB, C9300-24UXB, and C9300-48UB from mixed standard C9300 stacking.

- In a C9300-24UB-A vs C9300-24UB-E comparison, the higher-scale 24-port UPOE hardware, 32-MB buffer, 64,000 MAC address scale, 830W PoE budget, and StackWise-480 group match; the confirmed difference is Network Advantage versus Network Essentials.
- The C9300-24UB-A difference from C9300-24U-A is the scale profile: C9300-24UB-A is in the higher-scale group with a 32-MB buffer, 64,000 MAC addresses, and 112,000 IPv4 routes, while C9300-24U-A is the standard 24-port UPOE model.
- For C9300-24UB-A vs C9300-24UXB-A, the comparison is 1G UPOE access versus 10G/mGig UPOE access; the 24UXB model also has the 64-MB packet buffer and higher listed switching and forwarding figures.
- In a C9300-24UB-A vs C9300-48UB-A comparison, the which model to choose question turns on access density because both are higher-scale 1G UPOE Network Advantage models, but the 48UB SKU doubles the port count and changes the listed PoE budget and performance figures.
Selection Guide
1. Match it to higher-scale 1G UPOE access
Choose C9300-24UB-A when the BOM needs 24 1G Cisco UPOE access ports and the higher-scale Catalyst 9300 buffer, MAC, routing, QoS, and ACL profile.
2. Keep the license tier explicit
Select C9300-24UB-E instead only when the same higher-scale 24-port UPOE hardware should be ordered with Network Essentials rather than Network Advantage.
3. Do not substitute standard 24U hardware blindly
Use C9300-24U-A only when the standard Catalyst 9300 scale profile is acceptable, because it does not match the higher-scale C9300-24UB buffer and table values.
4. Separate mGig and 48-port requirements
Specify C9300-24UXB-A for higher-scale 10G/mGig UPOE downlinks or C9300-48UB-A for 48 higher-scale 1G UPOE ports instead of forcing those requirements into C9300-24UB-A.
PoE Power Planning
|
Planning Item |
Cisco Confirmed Value |
Order Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
Default PoE budget |
C9300-24UB is listed with 830W available PoE and PWR-C1-1100WAC-P as the default supply |
Size the powered endpoint plan to the 830W default budget unless the power design adds a second supply |
|
Secondary supply selection |
Cisco ordering selects a secondary power supply by default unless the no-secondary-supply option is chosen |
Decide whether the quote should keep redundant power or remove the secondary supply from the configuration |
|
UPOE access profile |
C9300-24UB is a 24-port 10/100/1000 UPOE model |
Prevent replacement with data-only, PoE+, UPOE+, or mGig order lines unless the access-port requirement changes |
|
StackPower |
C9300-24UB supports StackPower |
Add StackPower cables only when the site design requires shared power across compatible Catalyst 9300 stack members |
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact SKU |
C9300-24UB-A |
Confirms the order is the higher-scale 24-port 1G UPOE Catalyst 9300 switch with Network Advantage |
|
Higher-scale stack family |

Prevents mixing C9300-24UB with standard C9300 members in an unsupported stack plan |
|
Uplink module |
C9300-NM-8X default order selection or another supported C9300-NM choice |
Keeps the modular-uplink decision explicit when the quote needs a different uplink or no network module |
|
Advantage subscription term |
Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA Advantage 24-port 3-year, 5-year, or 7-year subscription |
Keeps the software line aligned with the 24-port Network Advantage hardware SKU |
|
Power plan |
PWR-C1-1100WAC-P default supply, 830W PoE budget, and any secondary supply requirement |
Keeps UPOE endpoint power planning tied to Cisco-confirmed power values |
|
Stack accessories and commercial details |
StackWise cable length, StackPower cabling, power cord region, price request, availability check, warranty support, and shipping destination |
Keeps the final quote tied to the confirmed hardware, license, power, uplink, and cable choices |
