C9300L-24P-4G-E Description
The C9300L-24P-4G-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for wiring closets that power IP phones and access points over Gigabit copper. The switch has 24 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, 56 Gbps of switching capacity and a 505W PoE budget on its default 715W AC supply. The -E suffix carries Network Essentials, which covers Layer 2 and OSPF routing up to 1,000 routes but not BGP, VXLAN or MPLS.

Product Performance
Key Features
The four uplinks are fixed 1G SFP ports, so fiber runs back to distribution stay at 1G. The 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks of the platform are on the C9300L-24P-4X-E.
The default 715W supply leaves 505W for PoE, roughly 21W per port if all 24 ports draw power. Running every port at the full 30W PoE+ rating takes 720W, which a second supply provides.
Two internal slots take PWR-C1-715WAC-P, PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or a DC supply. A blank module fills the second slot until a supply is added, so redundancy and PoE headroom can follow later.
Network Essentials covers Layer 2, routed access with OSPF up to 1,000 routes, PBR, VRRP, 802.1X and MACsec-128. Advanced routing and segmentation need Network Advantage.
Up to eight switches stack at 320 Gbps. Members must be fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM models on the same license level, and modular-uplink C9300 switches cannot join.
Standalone capacity is 56 Gbps and 41.66 Mpps, rising to 376 Gbps and 279.76 Mpps in a stack. The stacked figures are the ones that apply when several closets share a stack.
Application Scenarios
In a branch office closet, the switch powers IP phones and access points from its PoE+ ports and hands traffic to the site router over a 1G fiber uplink.
A small campus building with a 1G fiber backbone can use the switch on each floor, where the four SFP uplinks reach distribution without 10G optics.
An existing StackWise-320 stack of Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM switches on the same license level can add the switch to gain 24 more PoE+ ports.

C9300L-24P-4G-E and C9300L-24P-4X-E share the 24 PoE+ ports and the 505W default PoE budget, but C9300L-24P-4G-E has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks and 56 Gbps of standalone switching, against four 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and 128 Gbps on C9300L-24P-4X-E, so any closet with 10G fiber uplinks needs C9300L-24P-4X-E. A closet with no powered endpoints can use C9300L-24T-4X-E, which runs on a PWR-C1-350WAC-P supply with no PoE. Sites that need 48 PoE+ ports and up to 1440W with an 1100W secondary supply move to C9300L-48P-4X-E, against the 720W ceiling here. Network Essentials hardware upgrades to Advantage later with a C9300L-LIC= term (C9300L-24-E-A-3, -5 or -7), which cannot be placed on the switch order.

Default PoE budget |
505W available PoE with the default PWR-C1-715WAC-P power supply |
|
Expanded PoE budget |
Up to 720W with a supported secondary power supply, the design ceiling for 24 PoE+ ports rated at 30W each |
|
PoE standard |
PoE+ (802.3at) on all 24 access ports |
|
Endpoint count check |
Confirm total connected PoE+ device draw against the 505W default budget before adding a second supply |
|
Power supply confirmation |
Verify PWR-C1-715WAC-P is installed and the second slot carries either a blank module or a supported secondary supply |
Ordering Checklist
- Subscription tier and term: Order a Network Essentials term such as C9300L-DNA-E-24-5Y; Cisco Catalyst subscriptions use the C9300L-DNX family. The configurator defaults to Cisco DNA Advantage for 5 years, which does not match a Network Essentials switch.
- Second power supply: A second power supply of the same type as the primary is selected by default; C9300L-SPS-NONE removes it. Without it the switch has one supply and no power redundancy.
- Stack kit: C9300L-STACK-KIT is selected by default with a 50 cm stack cable; 1 m and 3 m cables can be selected instead. Fixed-uplink stacking uses the C9300L stack kit, not the C9300 StackWise cables.
- Power cords: Select the cord type for the destination country; two cords ship and the default is North America. A wrong cord type needs a replacement at the site.
