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.

Key Features

All-Port Multigigabit Access

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.

Cisco UPOE At 60W Per Port

Each port supplies up to 60W for devices such as PTZ cameras and high-draw access points, within the shared PoE budget.

Network Essentials Feature Scope

Layer 2 switching and OSPF routing up to 1,000 routes are included, while VRF, VXLAN, TrustSec, BGP and MACsec-256 need Network Advantage.

Uplink Modules

The modular slot takes Catalyst 9300 network modules, so uplink media is chosen separately from the 24 access ports.

560W Budget With Second Supply

The default 1100W supply leaves 560W for PoE, and a supported second supply raises that to 1440W for denser powered endpoints.

Separate Data And Power Stacks

StackWise-480 cables form the data stack and StackPower cables pool power, so the two are cabled independently.

Application Scenarios

Multigigabit Wi-Fi Closet

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.

Powered Camera Cluster

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.

Routed Access Without Segmentation

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.

Questions & Answers

  • Can C9300-24UX-E be stacked?

    Yes. C9300-24UX-E uses StackWise-480 cables for the data stack, which reaches 1,120 Gbps of stacked switching capacity. StackPower cables pool power separately, so the data and power stacks are cabled independently.
  • What does Network Essentials on C9300-24UX-E include?

    Network Essentials on C9300-24UX-E covers Layer 2 switching and OSPF routing up to 1,000 routes. VRF, VXLAN, TrustSec, BGP and MACsec-256 are not part of this tier. The -E suffix carries this tier on the switch.
  • Which cable category carries 10G on the multigigabit ports of C9300-24UX-E?

    A 10G link needs Cat6 cable up to 55 m or Cat6A cable up to 100 m. Links at 100M to 2.5G run on Cat5e. C9300-24UX-E gives up to 60W per port with UPOE, so Cat6A is the safer choice for 10G access points that draw full port power.
  • How much power does C9300-24UX-E draw at 100% PoE load?

    With 100% PoE load at 115Vac and a C9300-NM-8X module installed, Cisco lists 851.4W peak draw, and 842.3W in the Platinum supply test row. The power table has only the C9300-NM-8X test row for this model, so treat the figures as a baseline when you size the circuit.
  • How deep is C9300-24UX-E without a power supply and with the default one?

    The chassis alone is 17.1 in deep. With the default supply installed, the depth grows to 20.2 in and the switch weighs 18.18 lb. Allow for the supply depth in the rack or on the shelf, and keep cable bend space at the rear for the power cords.
  • Which stack cables does C9300-24UX-E accept?

    C9300-24UX-E uses data stack cables STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M and STACK-T1-3M. Fixed-uplink C9300L and C9300LM switches use stack adapters from an optional kit with the same cable lengths, but they are not part of a stack with this modular-uplink model.
  • Is ThousandEyes bundled with an Essentials subscription for C9300-24UX-E?

    No. TE-EMBEDDED-T, the ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics license, ships by default only with 3, 5 or 7-year Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA Advantage subscriptions. A Network Essentials subscription for C9300-24UX-E does not include it, so an Advantage tier is needed to get it.
  • Which license tier must the other stack members of C9300-24UX-E run?

    They must run the same license tier, Network Essentials, and the same IOS XE release as C9300-24UX-E. All members use SSO and NSF, and a stack holds up to eight switches. Mixing a Network Advantage member into the stack is not allowed.
  • How long do PoE endpoints on C9300-24UX-E stay dark after a reboot?

    Under 30 seconds when Fast PoE is set. Perpetual PoE covers an upgrade reload, a crash and a manual reboot, in a stack as well. Fast PoE restores endpoint power in under 30 seconds from stored power and needs perpetual-poe-ha on the port. Power loss and hibernation are not covered.
