C9300-48T-E Description

  The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48T-E delivers high-density 1 GbE access without the overhead of PoE, making it perfect for cost-sensitive wiring closets where endpoints simply need fast, secure data. A non-blocking 256 Gbps switching fabric with 190 Mpps forwarding keeps traffic flowing, while a field-replaceable Type-1 uplink bay supports 1 G, 10 G, 25 G or 40 G modules—so the edge can scale as the campus core evolves. StackWise-480 technology unites up to eight switches under one control plane with 480 Gbps stack bandwidth, and IOS-XE Network Essentials provides Layer-3 routing, automation APIs and Software-Defined Access entry-level segmentation.

Key Features

48 × 1 GbE Data-Only Ports

Perfect for desktops, printers, CCTV recorders and thin clients that don’t require PoE, lowering both CapEx and heat dissipation.

256 Gbps Non-Blocking Fabric (190 Mpps)

Guarantees wire-speed Layer 2/3 forwarding for every Gigabit port; stack up to 736 Gbps in an eight-member StackWise-480 ring.

Hot-Swap Type-1 Uplink Bay

Mix and match 4 × 1 G, 8 × 10 G, 2 × 25 G or 2 × 40 G modules to scale the edge as your core bandwidth grows—no chassis replacement needed.

IOS-XE Network Essentials Image

Built-in Layer-3 routing, SD-Access entry-level segmentation, NETCONF/RESTCONF APIs and DNA Center automation readiness.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Secure Boot & Trust Anchor, software-based ETA analytics and AES-256 MACsec on uplinks protect both control and data planes.

Hardware Resiliency & Power Efficiency

N+1 field-replaceable fans, optional dual PSUs, StackPower sharing, and Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) keep the switch online 24 × 7 while trimming energy costs.

Application Scenarios

High-Density Office Floors

Provides 48 economical 1 GbE ports for PCs and printers without paying for PoE hardware or cooling overhead; StackWise-480 allows seamless growth as new cubes are added.

Research / Design Labs

256 Gbps fabric plus optional 25/40 G uplinks remove bottlenecks when engineers move large CAD or simulation files between workstations and render farms.

Branch-Campus Aggregation

Serves as a data-only aggregation node for multiple PoE access stacks; Network Essentials routing and segmentation extend SD-Access fabrics back to the headquarters core.

Questions & Answers

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

    Cisco C9300-48T-E is used for 48-port Gigabit data-only access with modular uplinks and Network Essentials licensing. It fits dense access closets where endpoints have their own power and the software requirement is moderate.
  • Does C9300-48T-E provide PoE?

    No. C9300-48T-E does not provide PoE. For powered phones, cameras, or wireless access points, use a PoE or UPOE model such as C9300-48P-E or C9300-48U-E.
  • How is C9300-48T-E different from C9300-48T-A?

    C9300-48T-E differs from C9300-48T-A by license tier. The E SKU includes Network Essentials, while the A SKU includes Network Advantage for broader features.
  • Can C9300-48T-E use 10G uplinks?

    Yes. C9300-48T-E can use 10G uplinks when the appropriate Catalyst 9300 network module is installed. Other modular uplink options are available depending on the design.
  • Can C9300-48T-E be stacked with PoE C9300 switches?

    Yes, C9300-48T-E can be part of compatible Catalyst 9300 stacks when model and software rules are met. Mixed stacks should be planned carefully so license expectations, power design, and uplink modules remain clear.
  • Who should choose C9300-48T-E?

    Choose C9300-48T-E when the site needs 48 data-only copper ports, modular uplinks, and StackWise-480 under Network Essentials. It is a good fit when PoE and Network Advantage are not needed at purchase.
  • Can C9300-48T-E be upgraded to Network Advantage?

    Yes. Catalyst 9300 deployments can use Cisco license upgrade paths from Network Essentials to Network Advantage. The timing, entitlement, and operational process should be confirmed before planning feature-dependent changes.
  • When should I choose C9300-48T-A instead of C9300-48T-E?

    Choose C9300-48T-A when advanced routing, segmentation, or policy features are known requirements. C9300-48T-E is better when the closet is data-only and Network Essentials is enough.
