C9300-48U-E Description

C9300-48U Front
C9300-48U-Rear
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48U-E brings full 60 W UPOE power to every one of its forty-eight 1 GbE ports, delivering up to 822 W of usable budget from the default 1100 W platinum PSUCisco Switch. A non-blocking 256 Gbps switching fabric with 190 Mpps forwarding keeps high-density edge traffic flowing, and a hot-swap Type-1 network-module bay supports 1/10/25/40 G uplinks for investment protection. StackWise-480 links unite up to eight C9300 switches into a single virtual chassis with 480 Gbps stack bandwidth and <50 ms fail-overn, while Cisco StackPower lets you pool spare wattage across four switches for N+1 resiliency. Network Essentials unlocks Layer-3 routing, API automation and entry-level SD-Access segmentation.
