C9300-24UX-A Description

The C9300-24UX-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series stackable access switch for wiring closets that power Wi-Fi 6E access points and cameras over multigigabit copper. The switch has 24 multigigabit UPOE ports from 100 Mbps to 10G, a modular uplink slot, 640 Gbps of switching capacity and a 560W PoE budget on the default 1100W supply, and the license tier is Network Advantage. The -A suffix covers VRF, VXLAN, TrustSec, BGP and MACsec-256, which Network Essentials does not.

Key Features

Multigigabit UPOE Downlinks

All 24 copper ports negotiate 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10G and deliver Cisco UPOE at up to 60W per port. All 24 ports run at full power together only within the installed PoE budget, so Wi-Fi 6E access points and PTZ cameras share one port type.

Modular Uplink Slot

The slot takes C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q or C9300-NM-2Y modules, so uplink speed can change later without replacing the switch.

Network Advantage Feature Scope

The -A suffix adds VRF, VXLAN, TrustSec, BGP and MACsec-256, plus NETCONF, RESTCONF and YANG model-driven automation, beyond the Layer 2 and OSPF routed access of Network Essentials.

StackWise-480 And StackPower

Up to eight units join one StackWise-480 stack, and StackPower pools power across members so a unit with a failed supply keeps its PoE loads running.

560W Budget With Second Supply

The default 1100W supply gives a 560W PoE budget. A second 1100W or 1900W supply raises it to 1440W, which covers 60W on all 24 ports.

Altitude Derating

Full 45C operation holds up to 5,000 ft and narrows to 35C at 15,000 ft, with a cold-start minimum of 0C, which matters for high-altitude or unheated rooms.

Application Scenarios

Wi-Fi 6E Floor Closet

In a floor wiring closet, the switch connects Wi-Fi 6E access points to 2.5G, 5G or 10G UPOE ports and carries their traffic to the distribution layer through the uplink module.

Camera And Endpoint Edge

A campus building with PTZ cameras and high-draw desktop endpoints can power them from the UPOE ports, with a second supply added when most of the 24 ports run at full power.

Segmented Campus Access

At the edge of a segmented campus, the switch applies VRF, VXLAN or TrustSec policy at the access layer instead of waiting for the distribution tier.

C9300-24UX-A is the Network Advantage version of the 24-port 10G Multigigabit UPOE hardware that is also sold as C9300-24UX-E, so the license tier is the only thing between them. A closet that needs only Layer 2 and routed access, with OSPF up to 1,000 routes, can drop to C9300-24UX-E, but VRF, VXLAN, TrustSec, BGP or MACsec-256 on day one stay with C9300-24UX-A, and an installed Essentials switch is lifted later with a C9300-24-E-A-3, -5 or -7 term. Gigabit-only access that needs 830W of default PoE moves to C9300-24H-A, and data-only closets with no PoE use C9300-24T-A. A 48-port design with only 12 ports at 10G and 490W of default PoE is C9300-48UXM-A.

PoE Power Planning

Planning Item

Value or Check

Default PoE budget

560W with the single default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply installed.

Extended PoE budget

Up to 1440W design ceiling when a second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or PWR-C1-1900WAC-P supply is added.

Power supply confirmation

Confirm which power supply model is actually installed before assuming the extended PoE ceiling applies.

PoE standard support

Cisco UPOE on all 24 Multigigabit ports; endpoint must support UPOE or a lower PoE/PoE+ standard to negotiate power.

Device count check

Sum the power draw of all planned UPOE/PoE+ endpoints against the installed supply’s budget before finalizing port assignments.

StackPower option

Confirm whether StackPower sharing across stack members is planned, since it changes how PoE budget is pooled across a stack.

Ordering Checklist

  • Software subscription: Order a 24-port Advantage term: C9300-DNA-A-24-3Y, C9300-DNA-A-24-5Y or C9300-DNA-A-24-7Y. Cisco DNA Advantage is the default selection and matches this Network Advantage switch; a different tier is not accepted on a new order.
  • Uplink module: Keep the default C9300-NM-8X, pick C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-2Q or C9300-NM-2Y, or select C9300-NM-NONE. The uplink slot takes Catalyst 9300 modules only; C9300X modules do not fit.
  • Second power supply: A second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P is selected by default and C9300-SPS-NONE removes it. A single supply leaves the PoE budget at 560W.
  • Stacking cables: The default 50 cm StackWise cable and 30 cm StackPower cable ship unless C9300-STACK-NONE and C9300-SPWR-NONE remove them. A stack with members in different rows needs longer cables, which the 50 cm default does not cover.
  • Power cords: Select the cord type for the destination country; two cords ship with the switch. The configurator defaults to North America cords.

Questions & Answers

  • Can C9300-24UX-A be stacked?

    Yes. C9300-24UX-A stacks up to 8 members over StackWise-480, reaching 1,120 Gbps of stacked switching capacity. StackPower pools power across members, so a unit with a failed supply keeps its PoE loads running.
  • What does Network Advantage on C9300-24UX-A include?

    Network Advantage on C9300-24UX-A includes VRF, VXLAN, TrustSec, BGP and MACsec-256, plus NETCONF, RESTCONF and YANG model-driven automation. The -A suffix carries this tier on the switch, and the Layer 2 and routed access functions are also included.
  • What cabling does C9300-24UX-A need to run 10G on its multigigabit UPOE ports?

    Ports running 100M to 2.5G work on Cat5e cable. A 10G link needs Cat6 cable up to 55 m, or Cat6A cable up to 100 m. C9300-24UX-A delivers up to 60W per port with UPOE, per the Catalyst 9300 hardware installation guide, so wire Wi-Fi 6E access points and cameras with Cat6A when full 10G reach is needed.
  • What is the peak power draw of C9300-24UX-A at full PoE load?

    Cisco measured 851.4W peak draw with 100% PoE load at 115Vac and a C9300-NM-8X module installed. A Platinum supply test row shows 842.3W. The power table lists only the C9300-NM-8X test configuration for this model, so size the circuit with that module and leave margin for other uplink modules.
  • What operating temperature range does C9300-24UX-A support at 5000 ft?

    C9300-24UX-A runs at -5C to +45C at altitudes up to 5000 ft (1500m). Above that, the closet must stay within -5C to +35C at 15,000 ft (5000m). Storage temperature is -40C to +70C, and humidity must stay within 5%-90% non-condensing. Cold start needs an ambient temperature of at least 32F.
  • Which console port takes priority on C9300-24UX-A when both are connected?

    The USB mini-Type B console takes priority over the RJ-45 console when both are connected. C9300-24UX-A has three management connections: a 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port, an RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232) and the USB mini-Type B console port, so unplug the USB cable to return to the RJ-45 console.
  • Which spare PID replaces a failed fan in C9300-24UX-A, and what airflow does it give?

    C9300-24UX-A has three field-replaceable fans in N+1 redundancy, and the spare PID is FAN-T2=. The fan modules provide approximately 20 cfm of airflow and carry an MTBF of 4,521,330 hours. Order the spare so that a failed fan can be swapped in the closet without taking the switch out of service.
  • How much heat does the 1100W supply in C9300-24UX-A produce?

    PWR-C1-1100WAC-P is rated 1100W with an output of 3754 BTU/hr and takes 115-240VAC at 50-60Hz. A second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or a PWR-C1-1900WAC-P can be added for redundancy or a larger PoE budget, so plan closet cooling for the combined heat of both supplies.
  • Does a Network Advantage subscription for C9300-24UX-A include ThousandEyes?

    Yes. The ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics license, PID TE-EMBEDDED-T, is included by default with 3, 5 or 7-year Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA Advantage subscriptions on Catalyst 9300 switches, for the same term as the subscription. It is not included with Essentials subscriptions.
  • Which high-availability features come with the Network Advantage license on C9300-24UX-A?

    Network Advantage adds NSF, GIR and xFSU high availability on C9300-24UX-A, along with gRPC, PnP and ZTP automation and EIGRP, HSRP and IS-IS routing. Network Essentials does not carry these features, so choose the -A suffix when the closet needs nonstop forwarding during upgrades.
