C9300L-24T-4X-E Description
The C9300L-24T-4X-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch built for wiring closets that need 24 data-only 10/100/1000 Mbps copper ports paired with four integrated 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks. It belongs to the Catalyst 9300L 24-port fixed-uplink line, ships with the Network Essentials license tier, and draws power from a default 350 WAC supply that carries no PoE budget, so the port design targets switches, routers, and other unpowered infrastructure rather than PoE-dependent endpoints. Because the uplinks are built into the chassis rather than supplied through a swappable network module, the 10G SFP+ handoff and the StackWise-320 stacking path are fixed at the time this exact SKU is ordered. The combination of a data-only 24-port profile, fixed 4x10G uplinks, and Network Essentials licensing positions this switch as a Layer 2/limited Layer 3 access-layer building block for sites where routed access needs stay inside the Essentials feature boundary.

Product Performance
Key Features
The 24-port copper design carries no PoE budget, which keeps this SKU on the bill of materials for switches, routers, and other unpowered access devices instead of phones or access points.
Because the four SFP+ uplinks are built into the C9300L-24T-4X hardware rather than sold as a separate network module, the uplink optics decision is locked in at order time along with the base switch.
This SKU stacks only with other Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM fixed-uplink models over StackWise-320, so stack accessory planning stays inside the C9300L/LM accessory path rather than the modular C9300 network-module path.
The Network Essentials tier on this hardware covers Layer 2 forwarding, Routed Access with an OSPF ceiling of 1000 routes, PVLAN, VRRP, and MACsec-128, which sets the routing and automation ceiling before an Advantage license would be required.
The default PWR-C1-350WAC-P supply matches the data-only port design, so the power line item on the order stays sized to a non-PoE access switch rather than a PoE-capable chassis.
Three field-replaceable fan modules ship standard with N+1 redundancy, so a single fan failure does not require immediately powering down this data-only access switch to stay within its rated thermal envelope.
Application Scenarios
Deployed in a floor wiring closet as the access layer for desktops, unpowered switches, and other non-PoE endpoints that only need 1G copper connectivity back to the distribution layer.
Used as the standard access switch at branch or campus sites where the routing and automation feature set is expected to stay inside the Network Essentials boundary rather than require Network Advantage capabilities.
Added to an existing Catalyst 9300L/LM StackWise-320 stack of the same Network Essentials tier when the expansion only needs additional data-only copper ports rather than PoE capacity.

- For C9300L-24T-4X-E vs C9300L-24P-4G-E, both hold 24 access ports and the same Network Essentials tier, but the uplink and power line change together: C9300L-24T-4X-E fixes the uplinks at 10G/1G SFP+ on a 350W supply with no PoE budget, while C9300L-24P-4G-E drops the uplinks to 1G SFP on a 715W supply in exchange for a 505W PoE+ budget; a design with PoE+ endpoints on the port count has to move to C9300L-24P-4G-E and give up the 10G uplink class in the process.
- Moving from C9300L-24T-4X-E to C9300L-48T-4X-E keeps the uplink class, license tier, and power profile identical and only changes port count, so C9300L-48T-4X-E is the direct path when the same data-only, 10G-uplink design needs to double its access density instead of adding a second 24-port chassis to the stack.
- Both comparison SKUs stay on Network Essentials, so this group does not surface a license-tier trade-off; the deciding factors are PoE requirement first (data-only versus PoE+ access) and uplink speed second (1G SFP versus 10G/1G SFP+), before port count is sized to the closet.
- For deciding which SKU to order, size the PoE requirement first, then the uplink speed, and only then the port count, since the license tier is the same Network Essentials PID across all three models in this group.
Selection Guide
1. Data-Only 24-Port Role With 10G Uplink Headroom
The C9300L-24T-4X-E fits a 24-port closet that has no PoE-powered endpoints but still needs a 10G/1G SFP+ uplink handoff to distribution; a design that later adds PoE+ phones or access points to the same port count has to move to C9300L-24P-4G-E, which trades the 10G uplink class for a 505W PoE+ budget on a 1G SFP uplink.
2. Network Advantage Upgrade Path For Routing And Segmentation Growth
This hardware ships on Network Essentials, which caps Routed Access at 1000 OSPF routes and does not include VXLAN, LISP, MPLS, mVPN, or MACsec-256; a site that later needs any of those requires C9300L-24T-4X-A on the same C9300L-24T-4X hardware, ordered through the C9300L-DNA-A-24 license family, since Cisco’s ordering guide does not document a field license-only upgrade path from a Network Essentials hardware PID to Network Advantage without replacing the switch order line.
3. Uplink Bandwidth Boundary Against The C9300L-24T-4G Sibling
C9300L-24T-4X-E carries fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks at 128 Gbps switching capacity; the 1G-SFP C9300L-24T-4G sibling shares the same 24-port data-only profile but caps switching capacity lower at 56 Gbps, so an aggregation design that already plans on 10G uplinks should stay on the C9300L-24T-4X hardware rather than substitute C9300L-24T-4G to save on optics cost.
4. Port Density Step To The C9300L-48T-4X Sibling
When the same data-only, Network Essentials, 10G-uplink design needs more than 24 access ports, C9300L-48T-4X-E carries the identical uplink class and license tier at double the port count, which keeps a single chassis in the stack instead of adding a second 24-port unit purely to grow port density.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Endpoint power boundary |
Confirm no PoE+ or UPOE endpoints are assigned to these 24 ports before install. |
This model carries no PoE budget, so PoE-dependent endpoints will not power on. |
|
License and subscription match |
Confirm the order pairs Network Essentials hardware with a C9300L-DNA/DNX Essentials 24-port term subscription. |
A mismatched Essentials hardware PID and Advantage subscription line stalls Smart Licensing activation. |
|
Minimum software release |
Confirm the target Cisco IOS XE release is 16.11.1b or later before staging the image. |
Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink models require a higher minimum release than the general Catalyst 9300 baseline. |
|
Stack accessory family |
Confirm stack cables and adapters are ordered from the C9300L-STACK-KIT/KIT2 path, not the modular C9300 STACK-T1 path. |
Fixed-uplink C9300L/LM stacking hardware is not interchangeable with modular C9300/C9300X stacking hardware. |
|
Power module handling |
Confirm whether a second PWR-C1 supply or a blank module is included for the empty power bay. |
Cisco requires a blank module in an unused power bay to preserve airflow and thermal behavior. |
