C9300-48P-A Description
C9300-48P-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series enterprise access switch with 48 × 1G copper PoE+ ports, modular uplink options, and Network Advantage licensing.
It is designed for campus access networks that need reliable PoE+ connectivity for wireless access points, IP phones, security cameras, badge readers, thin clients, and other powered edge devices. Compared with fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L models, C9300-48P-A gives engineers more flexibility through field-replaceable uplink modules, including 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, and mGig options.
For procurement teams, C9300-48P-A is a strong fit when the project requires 48 PoE+ access ports, advanced Network Advantage features, StackWise-480, and a future-ready uplink path without moving to UPOE or UPOE+ models. Cisco lists C9300-48P-A as a Catalyst 9300 48-port 1G copper switch with modular uplinks, PoE+, and Network Advantage.

Key Features
C9300-48P-A provides 48 Gigabit copper ports with PoE/PoE+ support, making it suitable for access layers with IP phones, wireless APs, cameras, badge systems, and other powered endpoints.
The -A model ships with Network Advantage, making it a better choice for projects that need advanced routing, segmentation, SD-Access readiness, policy control, and stronger long-term feature coverage than Network Essentials.
Unlike fixed-uplink models, C9300-48P-A supports field-replaceable network modules. This allows engineers to start with 1G or 10G uplinks and later move to higher-speed uplinks when aggregation or core capacity increases.
StackWise-480 allows multiple Catalyst 9300 switches to operate as one logical switching system, simplifying management, increasing resiliency, and supporting larger access deployments.
If the project only requires PoE+ power and does not need 60W UPOE or 90W UPOE+, C9300-48P-A can be a more cost-effective choice than C9300-48U-A or C9300-48H-A.
For organizations already using Catalyst 9200, 9300, 9400, or 9500 platforms, C9300-48P-A keeps the access layer aligned with the Catalyst 9000 operating model, licensing, and lifecycle strategy.
Application Scenarios
Choose C9300-48P-A when a campus closet needs 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports for users, phones, APs, and cameras with advanced Network Advantage features.
Use Cisco Catalyst 9300 C9300-48P-A for deployments where Wi-Fi access points and IP phones need stable PoE+ power and resilient stacked access switching.
Deploy C9300-48P-A when replacing older Catalyst 3750-X, 3850, or 2960-X access switches with a current Catalyst 9000 platform that supports modular uplinks and StackWise-480.

Selection Guide
1. Choose C9300-48P-A when you need 48 PoE+ ports and Network Advantage
Choose C9300-48P-A when the project requires 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports and the higher Network Advantage software tier for advanced campus features, segmentation, and long-term flexibility.
2. Choose C9300-48P-E if the same hardware with lower license cost is enough
If the project only needs standard PoE+ access switching and does not require Advantage-level features, C9300-48P-E may reduce software cost while keeping the same 48-port PoE+ hardware class.
3. Choose C9300-48U-A or C9300-48H-A for higher-power endpoints
If the project includes devices requiring more than PoE+ power, such as high-power access points, smart building devices, or advanced IoT endpoints, evaluate C9300-48U-A for UPOE or C9300-48H-A for UPOE+.
4. Confirm uplink module, stacking kit, and power supply before ordering
Before buying C9300-48P-A, confirm the required uplink module, StackWise accessories, power supply quantity, and PoE budget. Cisco notes that 48-port PoE+ models may require higher or dual power supply combinations for full PoE/PoE+ power across all ports.
