Questions & Answers

  • What is Cisco C9300-48P-E used for?

    Cisco C9300-48P-E is used for 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access closets that need modular uplinks, stacking, and Network Essentials licensing. It fits larger access closets with phones, cameras, and wireless access points.
  • How is C9300-48P-E different from C9300-48P-A?

    C9300-48P-E ships with Network Essentials, while C9300-48P-A ships with Network Advantage. Both are 48-port PoE+ Catalyst 9300 models, so the main decision is software tier rather than access-port count.
  • Does C9300-48P-E provide PoE+ on 48 ports?

    Yes. C9300-48P-E is a 48-port PoE+ switch, but the number of endpoints it can power at a given wattage depends on the PoE budget and installed power supplies. Full-port PoE planning should use endpoint wattage, not only port count.
  • What uplink choices are available for C9300-48P-E?

    C9300-48P-E supports Catalyst 9300 modular uplink modules, so it can be fitted for 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, or multigigabit uplink designs. This helps a 48-port PoE closet avoid upstream bottlenecks.
  • Can C9300-48P-E be stacked for larger closets?

    Yes. C9300-48P-E supports StackWise-480 and StackPower. It is often used in stacked access closets where multiple 48-port PoE switches need shared management and power resiliency.
  • When should I choose C9300-48P-E over C9300-24P-E?

    Choose C9300-48P-E when one switch needs to support up to 48 PoE+ access ports. C9300-24P-E is better when the closet is smaller and 24 powered ports are enough.
  • Is C9300-48P-E suitable for wireless-heavy floors?

    Yes, C9300-48P-E can support wireless-heavy floors when AP power draw, PoE budget, and uplink bandwidth are planned correctly. For high-power or multigigabit APs, compare it with C9300-48U-E or C9300-24UX-E.
  • When is C9300-48P-E not the best model?

    C9300-48P-E is not the best model when the site needs Network Advantage, UPOE, multigigabit access, or data-only 48-port switching. C9300-48P-A, C9300-48U-E, C9300-24UX-E, or C9300-48T-E may fit better.
