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.

Product Performance
Key Features
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
