C9300-48S-E Description

C9300-48S-fornt
C9300-48S-Rear
Cisco Catalyst C9300-48S-E delivers 48 fixed 1 Gbps SFP ports (no PoE) powered by a 715 W AC supply. It provides 256 Gbps of switching capacity (736 Gbps switching capacity with stacking) and up to 190.47 Mpps (553.42 Mpps stacked). Running IOS XE with Network Essentials, it supports VLANs, static/EIGRP/OSPF Lite, basic QoS, and ACLs. Suitable for fiber-centric campus closets and branch backbones, its UADP 2.0 ASIC ensures low-latency forwarding and hardware ACL acceleration.

Key Features

All-Fiber Downlinks

48 fixed SFP ports support 1 GbE fiber connections, minimizing oversubscription and ensuring deterministic performance.

StackWise-480 Scalability

Stack up to eight switches for 736 Gbps switching capacity with stacking and a unified control plane.

Basic Layer 3 Routing

Network Essentials includes static routing, EIGRP Lite, OSPF Lite, VLAN-aware features, and hardware ACL enforcement.

Modular Uplink Flexibility

One hot-swappable slot accommodates 1 GbE, 10 GbE, 25 GbE, 40 GbE, or 100 GbE optics for tailored aggregation needs.

UADP 2.0 ASIC

Delivers wire-speed forwarding, 32,000 MAC addresses, 32,000 IPv4 routes, hardware-based ACLs, and deep packet buffers.

Energy-Efficient Design

EPA Tier 2 compliance, variable-speed fans (< 47 dB), and low idle power draw optimize operational costs.

Applications Scenarios

Campus Fiber Access

Aggregates fiber-connected desktops and IP phones in wiring closets; stacks multiple units for campus-wide VLAN/VRF domains.

Branch Fiber Backbone

Provides secure, low-latency Layer 3 routing (EIGRP/OSPF Lite) between collocated fiber-connected devices and upstream distribution.

Data Center ToR Aggregation

Acts as a fiber-only 1 Gbps leaf, with a modular uplink (10 GbE/25 GbE) to an aggregation or spine layer for east-west traffic.
