Key Features

Network Essentials C9300-48H order line

The `-E` suffix ties this 48-port UPOE+ Catalyst 9300 switch to Network Essentials rather than the Network Advantage `-A` order path.

48-port 1G UPOE+ access profile

The `C9300-48H` base model confirms 48 10/100/1000 Mbps UPOE+ copper ports, separating this SKU from PoE+, UPOE, data-only, and multigigabit Catalyst 9300 choices.

Modular uplink selection

C9300 switches use a modular uplink slot, and Cisco lists C9300 network modules for 1G SFP, 10G SFP+, 25G SFP28, 40G QSFP+, and multigigabit copper uplink needs.

Power budget controlled by supply mix

The default supply gives 822W of available PoE, while the C9300-48H power table also lists higher budgets when secondary or upgraded power supplies are configured.

StackWise-480 access stack fit

StackWise-480 support keeps this SKU in the modular-uplink C9300 stack family, so stack cable length and member planning should be set during the BOM review.

StackPower-aware quote planning

StackPower support allows shared power design across compatible Catalyst 9300 members when the order includes the matching StackPower cable and power-supply choices.

Application Scenarios

High-power 1G access closet

C9300-48H-E fits access closets that need 48 copper 1G downlinks with UPOE+ capability while keeping the network license tier at Essentials.

UPOE to UPOE+ refresh

Use this SKU when the replacement decision is not only 48-port density but also the move from the C9300-48U UPOE profile to the C9300-48H UPOE+ profile.

Modular Catalyst 9300 stack expansion

The switch is suitable for a StackWise-480 access stack where the uplink module, StackWise cable, StackPower plan, software baseline, and 48-port Essentials subscription are all matched in the order.

  • In a C9300-48H-E vs C9300-48H-A comparison, the hardware line remains the 48-port UPOE+ C9300-48H profile; the confirmed difference is Network Essentials versus Network Advantage.
  • The C9300-48H-E difference from C9300-48U-E is the powered-port class: C9300-48H-E is the UPOE+ option, while C9300-48U-E is the UPOE Network Essentials alternative with the same default PoE budget line.
  • For C9300-48H-E vs C9300-48P-E, the comparison should focus on UPOE+ versus PoE+, the default power supply, and the listed default PoE budget.
  • C9300-48H-E vs C9300-24H-E is a port-count and capacity comparison because the current SKU is the 48-port UPOE+ Essentials model and the C9300-24H-E line is the 24-port UPOE+ Essentials model.

Selection Guide

1. Choose it for 48-port UPOE+ Essentials access

Select C9300-48H-E when the BOM calls for 48 1G UPOE+ access ports, modular uplink selection, and Network Essentials.

2. Move to Advantage only for the license tier

Use C9300-48H-A when the same C9300-48H UPOE+ hardware must be ordered with Network Advantage rather than Network Essentials.

3. Do not substitute the UPOE model blindly

Specify C9300-48U-E only when the access design needs 48 1G UPOE ports instead of the UPOE+ model documented for C9300-48H-E.

4. Check whether PoE+ is enough

Choose C9300-48P-E only when the powered-device plan fits PoE+ and the lower default PoE budget shown for the C9300-48P model.

PoE Power Planning

Planning Item

Cisco Confirmed Value

Order Impact

UPOE+ class

Cisco identifies the C9300-xxH family as UPOE+ and lists 90W Type 4 planning requirements for UPOE+ models

Confirm endpoint power class instead of treating this SKU like a PoE+ or UPOE model

Default PoE budget

C9300-48H is listed with 822W available PoE and PWR-C1-1100WAC-P as the default supply

Match powered endpoint count and endpoint draw to the base switch power budget

Secondary supply choices

The C9300-48H power table lists increased PoE budgets when secondary or upgraded power supplies are configured

Decide whether the second supply is for redundancy, higher available PoE, or both

StackPower

Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switches support StackPower

Add StackPower cabling only when the site design uses shared power across stack members

Ordering Checklist

Check Item

What to Confirm

Why It Matters

Exact switch SKU

C9300-48H-E

Prevents substitution with the Advantage `-A` SKU, the UPOE `C9300-48U` SKU, or the PoE+ `C9300-48P` SKU

Uplink module

Required C9300-NM module and media speed

The base C9300 switch depends on a separate modular uplink selection

Software subscription

Cisco Catalyst Essentials or Cisco DNA Essentials 48-port term line

Keeps the subscription aligned with the Network Essentials hardware suffix

Power budget

Default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, 822W base PoE budget, and any secondary or upgraded power supply

Prevents a UPOE+ endpoint plan from being selected without enough available PoE

Stacking accessories

StackWise cable length and StackPower cable choice

Ensures the switch can join the intended Catalyst 9300 stack and power design
