What is Cisco C9300-24UX-E used for?

Cisco C9300-24UX-E is used for 24-port multigigabit access where endpoints need higher copper speeds, UPOE, modular uplinks, and Network Essentials licensing. It is commonly considered for modern wireless access points and high-performance edge devices.

What does UX mean in C9300-24UX-E?

In C9300-24UX-E, UX indicates a multigigabit UPOE access model. It is different from 24P PoE+ models because it supports higher copper access speeds and higher-power endpoint needs.

How is C9300-24UX-E different from C9300-24P-E?

C9300-24UX-E adds multigigabit access and UPOE capability, while C9300-24P-E is a 1G PoE+ model. Choose C9300-24UX-E when access points or edge devices need more than 1G or more power than PoE+.

How is C9300-24UX-E different from C9300-24UX-A?

C9300-24UX-E ships with Network Essentials, while C9300-24UX-A ships with Network Advantage. The hardware role is the same, so the decision is mainly the required software tier.

Can C9300-24UX-E support Wi-Fi 6 or high-speed APs?

Yes. C9300-24UX-E is a strong candidate for high-speed access points because it combines multigigabit copper ports with UPOE. The AP power requirement, negotiated speed, and uplink capacity should all be checked.

What uplink modules can C9300-24UX-E use?

C9300-24UX-E uses Catalyst 9300 modular uplinks, so the uplink design can be selected separately from the access-port model. Faster uplinks are often important because multigigabit access ports can generate more upstream traffic.

Can C9300-24UX-E be stacked?

Yes. C9300-24UX-E supports StackWise-480 and StackPower. In multigigabit UPOE deployments, stacking and power design should be planned together because endpoint power and uplink bandwidth can both be demanding.

When is C9300-24UX-E not the best choice?

C9300-24UX-E is not the best choice when endpoints only need 1G PoE+ or when Network Advantage is required from day one. C9300-24P-E or C9300-24UX-A may be the better fit.

C9300-24UX-E Description

C9300-24UX-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series stackable access switch for campus access deployments that need 24 multigigabit copper ports with Cisco UPOE and modular uplink flexibility. This Network Essentials order line provides 24 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M Cisco UPOE ports, a modular uplink slot for Catalyst 9300 network modules, a PWR-C1-1100WAC-P default power supply with a 560W default PoE budget, StackWise-480 stacking, and Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.1 as the minimum software release.

Key Features

All-downlink 10G mGig access

Every access port on the C9300-24UX hardware line is part of the 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M multigigabit UPOE profile, so the switch should not be treated like a mixed 1G-and-mGig SKU.

Essentials PID rather than Advantage PID

C9300-24UX-E is the Essentials purchase path for the C9300-24UX access hardware; the Advantage alternate is the separate C9300-24UX-A PID.

Uplink media is a separate decision

The access-port PID does not define the uplink media, so the order still needs a selected C9300-NM module or an explicit blank-module choice.

560W base PoE budget

C9300-24UX is listed with 560W available PoE on the default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply, making the second-supply decision important for dense powered endpoints.

Separate data-stack and power-stack parts

StackWise-480 cables handle the data stack, while StackPower cables are separate accessories for shared power planning.

Copper channel qualification

The 5G and 10G targets depend on cabling conditions, and Cisco notes that traditional Cat5e channel specifications do not support a full 100 m reach above 2.5 Gbps.

Application Scenarios

AP uplink speed uplift

This C9300-24UX PID is appropriate for wireless or endpoint rows where the access switch must offer 2.5G, 5G, or 10G RJ-45 speeds on every port while still supplying Cisco UPOE.

Standard-scale C9300-24UX refresh

The page should be quoted for standard C9300-24UX multigigabit access under Network Essentials, keeping the higher-scale 24UXB buffer and stack-boundary requirements out of the order unless they are explicitly needed.

Module-first uplink planning

Downlink speed is fixed by the C9300-24UX switch, but the upstream path still depends on the selected C9300-NM option, transceiver plan, StackWise cable length, and StackPower cable length.

In a C9300-24UX-E vs C9300-24UX-A comparison, the confirmed difference is the network license tier: C9300-24UX-E is Network Essentials, while C9300-24UX-A is Network Advantage on the same 24-port 10G/mGig UPOE hardware family.
The C9300-24UX-E difference from C9300-24U-E is access speed and power budget: C9300-24UX-E is a 10G/mGig UPOE model with 560W default available PoE, while C9300-24U-E is a 1G UPOE model with 830W default available PoE.
For C9300-24UX-E vs C9300-24H-E, the comparison is access speed and PoE class because C9300-24UX-E is a 10G/mGig UPOE model and C9300-24H-E is a 1G UPOE+ model.
The which model to choose check should start with Network Essentials versus Advantage, all-port 10G/mGig access versus 1G UPOE access, and UPOE versus UPOE+ endpoint power class.

Selection Guide

1. Verify that every access port needs mGig

A C9300-24UX order makes sense when the design needs 10G-capable multigigabit copper on all 24 RJ-45 downlinks with Cisco UPOE.

2. Keep the standard C9300-24UX identity clear

C9300-24UX-A is the hardware-equivalent Advantage alternate, while 24UXB models are higher-scale hardware and should not be substituted silently.

3. Reserve C9300-24U-E for 1G UPOE sites

Use the C9300-24U line for 10/100/1000 UPOE access and the higher 830W default PoE budget, not for 2.5G, 5G, or 10G copper access.

4. Lock the support items with the switch

Finalize the C9300-NM module, IOS XE 16.6.1 or later image plan, StackWise and StackPower cable lengths, copper reach, and PoE supply mix in the same quote review.

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 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 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

Check Item	What to Confirm	Why It Matters
PID and hardware profile	C9300-24UX-E standard C9300-24UX hardware with Network Essentials	Avoids swapping to C9300-24UX-A for Advantage or to 24UXB for higher-scale buffering
Downlink power envelope	560W default PoE budget on PWR-C1-1100WAC-P and the intended secondary supply	Keeps powered endpoint counts tied to the actual installed supply mix
Uplink FRU	C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, C9300-NM-2Y, or blank module	Separates the access-switch PID from the fiber, copper, and speed required upstream
Software and subscription	IOS XE 16.6.1 or later plus C9300-DNA-E-24 family licensing	Aligns the image baseline and Essentials term license with the C9300-24UX order
Stack cabling	StackWise-480 cable and StackPower cable lengths for the rack layout	Prevents the switch from arriving without the physical accessories needed for the planned stack
