Key Features

48 × 1 GbE Data-Only Ports

All downlinks are pure Gigabit Ethernet (no PoE), ideal for desktops, printers, thin clients and any endpoint that doesn’t need inline power—cutting both CapEx and heat output.

256 Gbps / 190 Mpps

Delivers true wire-speed Layer 2/3 for every port, and—when stacked—scales to 736 Gbps with < 50 ms fail-over via StackWise-480.

Hot-Swap Modular Uplink Bay

A single Type-1 slot supports 4×1 G, 8×10 G, 2×25 G or 2×40 G modules, so core bandwidth can be upgraded without replacing the base switch.

Network Advantage Software Image

Ships with advanced routing (OSPF, BGP, IS-IS), SD-Access segmentation, Encrypted Traffic Analytics and open APIs—ready for automation and zero-trust architectures.

Integrated Hardware Security

Secure Boot, Trust Anchor, and AES-256 MACsec on uplinks protect the control plane, while ETA detects encrypted threats in real time.

Carrier-Class Resiliency

N+1 field-replaceable fans, dual-PSU redundancy, StackPower shared power pooling and StackWise-480 stacking keep the campus online 24 × 7.

Application Scenarios

High-Density Wired Office Floors

48 non-PoE Gigabit ports give maximum port density at the lowest cost; StackWise-480 lets IT expand cabinet by cabinet with a single management IP.

University / Research Workstation Labs

256 Gbps non-blocking fabric plus optional 25/40 G uplinks eliminate bottlenecks when students or researchers move large simulation or CAD files.

Branch-Campus Aggregation Layer

Acts as the data-only aggregation point for multiple PoE access switches; Network Advantage routing and segmentation support seamless SD-Access rollouts.

Questions & Answers

  • What is Cisco C9300-48T-A used for?

    Cisco C9300-48T-A is used for 48-port Gigabit copper access where endpoints are powered separately and the switch needs modular uplinks plus Network Advantage licensing. It fits larger data-only access closets with advanced software needs.
  • Does C9300-48T-A support PoE?

    No. C9300-48T-A is a data-only 48-port RJ-45 switch. If the connected endpoints need switch power, compare it with C9300-48P-A or C9300-48U-A.
  • How is C9300-48T-A different from C9300-48T-E?

    C9300-48T-A ships with Network Advantage, while C9300-48T-E ships with Network Essentials. The access-port hardware role is the same, so the A SKU is selected when the 48-port data switch needs Advantage-level features.
  • How is C9300-48T-A different from C9300-24T-A?

    C9300-48T-A doubles the copper access port count from 24 to 48 while keeping the same data-only role and Network Advantage tier. Choose the 48T model when one switch should serve a larger closet.
  • What uplink modules can C9300-48T-A use?

    C9300-48T-A supports Catalyst 9300 modular uplink network modules. This lets a 48-port data switch use the uplink speed and media required by the upstream design.
  • Can C9300-48T-A be stacked?

    Yes. C9300-48T-A supports StackWise-480 and StackPower. Even without PoE, stacking can simplify management and resiliency for dense 48-port access closets.
  • Who should choose C9300-48T-A?

    Choose C9300-48T-A when the site needs 48 data-only access ports, modular uplinks, Catalyst 9300 stacking, and Network Advantage features. It is not meant for closets that need endpoint power.
  • When is C9300-48T-A not the best fit?

    C9300-48T-A is not the best fit when the closet needs PoE, multigigabit access, or Network Essentials only. C9300-48P-A, C9300-24UX-A, or C9300-48T-E may match those needs better.
