C9300-48P-E Description
The C9300-48P-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series access switch built around 48 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ ports, a modular uplink slot, and a default PWR-C1-715WAC-P power supply that delivers a 437W PoE budget out of the box. It stacks through StackWise-480 at up to 480 Gbps per stack with Cisco StackPower for shared power redundancy across members, and it carries Network Essentials, which covers Layer 2 forwarding, routed access with OSPF up to 1000 routes, PVLAN, VRRP, 802.1X, and MACsec-128. This PID fits wiring closets and PoE+ endpoint aggregation points that operate on straightforward Layer 2/limited Layer 3 access switching without a requirement for VXLAN, TrustSec, or controller-driven automation.

Product Performance
Key Features
A single 715W default supply covers a full 48-port closet of PoE+ phones, access points, and cameras at the 437W budget, which for most access deployments removes the need to size or price a second internal supply.
Network Essentials on this PID covers Layer 2 switching plus routed access with OSPF up to 1000 routes, PVLAN, and VRRP, which is sufficient scope for access-layer closets that do not need unlimited-route dynamic routing.
StackWise-480 lets up to 8 units combine into one managed switch, so port count in a closet can grow without adding a second management domain or a separate uplink pair.
The modular uplink bay accepts modules such as the C9300-NM-8X, so the uplink can move from 1G/10G toward 25G later without swapping the switch itself.
Network Essentials includes MACsec-128 encryption on supported links, which covers standard access-layer link security without requiring the higher MACsec-256 tier reserved for Network Advantage.
StackPower distributes power across stacked members, giving closets a redundancy option that does not require doubling every unit’s own internal supply.
Application Scenarios
Deployed as the access layer for a floor or building closet powering PoE+ IP phones, access points, and cameras from the 437W default budget without a segmentation or automation requirement.
Used in branch or satellite office access roles where Layer 2 switching and basic routed access (VRRP, PVLAN, OSPF up to 1000 routes) are sufficient and no VXLAN or SD-Access fabric is planned.
Positioned as a stack member alongside other C9300-48P-E units to add PoE+ port count to an existing StackWise-480 stack without introducing a mixed license tier.

- C9300-48P-E and C9300-48T-E share the same 48-port modular-uplink chassis, but C9300-48T-E’s 350W default supply carries no PoE output at all, so any closet with PoE+ endpoints on order must stay on C9300-48P-E rather than moving to C9300-48T-E for cost savings.
- Against C9300-48H-E, the difference is PoE ceiling: C9300-48H-E’s 1100W default supply provides an 822W Cisco UPOE+ budget for higher-draw endpoints like PTZ cameras or Wi-Fi 6E access points, while C9300-48P-E’s 437W PoE+ budget is scoped for standard-class access points and phones; a closet planning UPOE-class devices needs C9300-48H-E or C9300-24H-E, not this PID with a larger secondary supply.
- On the license side, C9300-48P-E’s Network Essentials omits VXLAN, Cisco TrustSec, MACsec-256, and full NETCONF/RESTCONF automation that Network Advantage on the equivalent C9300-48P-A PID includes; a design that starts on segmentation, SD-Access, or controller-driven automation should order C9300-48P-A directly rather than plan an upgrade later, since Cisco’s documented Network Stack upgrade path runs through the C9300L-LIC= family for fixed-uplink hardware, not this modular-uplink PID.
- Ordering priority for this comparison set: confirm whether the closet needs any PoE at all (ruling out C9300-48T-E), then confirm whether PoE+ or Cisco UPOE+ power class is required (choosing between this PID and C9300-48H-E), then confirm whether Network Essentials functional scope is sufficient before locking in this license tier over C9300-48P-A.
Selection Guide
1. Essentials Covers Layer 2 and Bounded Layer 3 Only
C9300-48P-E’s Network Essentials tier supports Layer 2 switching, OSPF up to 1000 routes, PVLAN, and VRRP; a design that requires VXLAN, Cisco TrustSec segmentation, unlimited-route dynamic routing, or MACsec-256 must move to C9300-48P-A on the same hardware rather than expect Essentials to cover it.
2. No Documented Upgrade Path From This Modular-Uplink PID
Cisco’s confirmed Network Stack upgrade license (C9300L-LIC=) applies to the fixed-uplink C9300L family, not to this modular-uplink C9300-48P hardware; if there is a realistic chance the deployment will need Network Advantage features later, ordering C9300-48P-A up front avoids a forklift replacement rather than relying on an in-place license upgrade.
3. PoE+ Budget Is the Ceiling, Not a Starting Point
The 437W default PoE budget covers standard PoE+ endpoints, but a plan involving Cisco UPOE or UPOE+ class devices (60W-90W per port) should move to C9300-48H-E or C9300-24H-E instead of adding a larger secondary supply to this PID, since the port-level PoE+ output class does not change with the added supply.
4. Subscription Tier Must Match Network Essentials
Because this PID’s Network Stack license is Network Essentials, the Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA software subscription ordered with it on a new purchase must also be Essentials tier; pairing Network Advantage hardware with an Essentials subscription is only valid at renewal, so ordering the wrong subscription tier against this PID blocks a clean new-purchase configuration.

Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Network license match |
Confirm the Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA subscription ordered is Essentials tier on a new purchase. |
Pairing this Essentials hardware PID with an Advantage-tier subscription on a first order does not match the documented ordering structure. |
|
Feature scope before order |
Confirm the deployment does not require VXLAN, Cisco TrustSec, or MACsec-256 before finalizing this PID. |
This PID has no confirmed in-place upgrade path from Network Essentials to Network Advantage on modular-uplink hardware. |
|
Second power supply |
Confirm whether a second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or PWR-C1-1900WAC-P is needed before the PoE load exceeds 437W. |
Ordering without the second supply leaves no path to expand PoE budget without a later add-order. |
|
Network module slot |
Confirm whether a C9300-NM-8X or other module is needed at order time, or order C9300-NM-BLANK for the empty slot. |
An empty uplink slot without a blank module affects airflow and is flagged during install. |
|
Smart Account binding |
Confirm the target Smart Account and Virtual Account before the order is placed. |
Catalyst 9300 SKUs are Smart SKUs; a license tied to the wrong account can stall activation. |
