C9300-24UX-E Description
The C9300-24UX-E 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 Essentials. The -E suffix covers Layer 2 and OSPF routing up to 1,000 routes but not VRF, VXLAN, TrustSec, BGP or MACsec-256.

Product Performance
Key Features
Every one of the 24 copper ports runs 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10G, so the switch is not a mixed 1G and multigigabit unit.
Each port supplies up to 60W for devices such as PTZ cameras and high-draw access points, within the shared PoE budget.
Layer 2 switching and OSPF routing up to 1,000 routes are included, while VRF, VXLAN, TrustSec, BGP and MACsec-256 need Network Advantage.
The modular slot takes Catalyst 9300 network modules, so uplink media is chosen separately from the 24 access ports.
The default 1100W supply leaves 560W for PoE, and a supported second supply raises that to 1440W for denser powered endpoints.
StackWise-480 cables form the data stack and StackPower cables pool power, so the two are cabled independently.
Application Scenarios
In a floor wiring closet, the switch connects Wi-Fi 6E access points to multigigabit UPOE ports and sends their traffic upstream through the uplink module.
A building that runs PTZ cameras and other high-draw endpoints can power them directly from the UPOE ports, adding a second supply when the 560W default budget is not enough.
A campus access layer that needs Layer 2 switching and OSPF routed access, but no VRF or VXLAN, can run on Network Essentials at the edge.

C9300-24UX-E is the Network Essentials version of the 24-port 10G Multigigabit UPOE hardware that is also sold as C9300-24UX-A, and the license tier is the only difference. Essentials covers Layer 2 and routed access with OSPF up to 1,000 routes; a design that needs VRF, VXLAN, TrustSec, BGP or MACsec-256 on day one must order C9300-24UX-A, and an installed switch is upgraded later with a C9300-24-E-A-3, -5 or -7 term, which cannot be bought on the same order as the hardware. Gigabit access with 830W of default PoE moves to C9300-24U-E, or to C9300-24H-E when UPOE+ endpoints are planned.
PoE Power Planning

Planning Item |
Cisco Confirmed Value |
Order Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
UPOE port class |
Cisco UPOE supports Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Cisco UPOE powered devices up to 60W per port |
Check endpoint power class before replacing this SKU with PoE+ or data-only hardware |
|
Default PoE budget |
C9300-24UX-E is listed with 560W available PoE on the default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply |
Match the AP or endpoint count to the default power budget before finalizing the power plan |
|
Higher PoE budget |
C9300-24UX-E reaches 1275W with a 715W secondary supply and 1440W with an 1100W secondary supply |
Add the secondary power supply when the powered device plan exceeds the default budget |
|
Full 60W planning |
Cisco lists two 1100W power supplies for 48- and 24-port Multigigabit UPOE designs requiring Type 3 power on all ports |
Confirm whether every downlink needs the 60W class or only selected ports do |
Ordering Checklist
- Software subscription: Order a 24-port Essentials term: C9300-DNA-E-24-3Y, C9300-DNA-E-24-5Y or C9300-DNA-E-24-7Y. The configurator defaults to Cisco DNA Advantage with a 5-year term, which does not match a Network Essentials switch.
- 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.
