C9300L-24UXG-2Q-A Description
C9300L-24UXG-2Q-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch with the Network Advantage license for campus access closets that need high-density copper edge connectivity and 40G uplink handoff. It combines 8 mGig ports supporting 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G speeds with 16 additional 10M/100M/1G copper ports, 2 fixed 40G QSFP+ uplinks, Cisco UPOE Type 3 capability, a 722W default PoE budget from the 1100W AC power supply class, and StackWise-320 stacking for a 352 Gbps standalone or 672 Gbps stacked switching-capacity profile.

Product Performance
Key Features
The access side provides eight 100M to 10G multigigabit ports for higher-speed copper drops while preserving sixteen additional 10M to 1G copper ports.
The A suffix maps this hardware order to Network Advantage and the matching 24-port Cisco DNA Advantage term license family.
Two 40G QSFP+ uplinks are part of the fixed-uplink switch, so the bill of materials does not need a separate modular network card for uplink selection.
Cisco lists C9300L-24UXG-2Q among the UPOE switches that operate as IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 devices when that mode is enabled.
Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink models use StackWise-320 for data stacking, while Cisco also documents that Catalyst 9300L Series switches do not support StackPower.
The official model description ties this 2Q profile to a 722W PoE budget with an 1100W AC power supply, making endpoint power sizing a required order check.
Application Scenarios
C9300L-24UXG-2Q-A fits closets that need a limited set of 10G-capable copper drops for access points or edge devices while the rest of the port count remains 1G copper.
Use this SKU where the access layer should land on fixed 40G QSFP+ uplinks instead of four SFP+ uplinks from the 4X variant.
The model can join a Catalyst 9300L StackWise-320 plan when the stack design, license level, stack kit, power supplies, and optics are all aligned to the same access-switch family.

- In a C9300L-24UXG-2Q-A vs C9300L-24UXG-2Q-E comparison, the access ports, 40G uplinks, PoE value, and performance rows match; the difference is Network Advantage versus Network Essentials.
- The C9300L-24UXG-2Q-A difference from C9300L-24UXG-4X-A is the fixed uplink format: two 40G QSFP+ ports versus four 10G/1G SFP+ ports.
- For C9300L-24UXG-2Q-A vs C9300L-48UXG-2Q-A, the comparison separates a 24-port 8-mGig access build from a 48-port 12-mGig access build.
- The which model to choose review should settle license tier, port count, uplink media, PoE budget, and StackWise-320 materials before optics and power cords are finalized.
Selection Guide
1. Match it to 40G uplink access closets
Pick C9300L-24UXG-2Q-A for a 24-port access block where the design needs Network Advantage, 8 mGig copper drops, 16 additional 1G drops, and a pair of fixed QSFP+ uplinks.
2. Keep the 2Q-E line for Essentials
Order C9300L-24UXG-2Q-E only when the site standard accepts the same 2Q hardware under Network Essentials and an Essentials subscription term.
3. Switch to 4X-A for SFP+ aggregation
Use C9300L-24UXG-4X-A when the access layer must stay on Network Advantage but the upstream design expects 10G/1G SFP+ ports rather than 40G QSFP+ ports.
4. Move to C9300L-48UXG-2Q-A only for higher port count
Use C9300L-48UXG-2Q-A when the uplink format and Advantage tier are correct but the closet needs 12 mGig ports and 36 1G ports instead of the 24-port C9300L-24UXG footprint.
PoE Power Planning

Planning Item |
Cisco Confirmed Value |
Order Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
UPOE model class |
C9300L-24UXG-2Q is listed as a UPOE Type 3 switch when 802.3bt mode is enabled |
Match powered endpoints to the 60W Type 3 class instead of a PoE+ access model |
|
Default PoE budget |
722W with an 1100W AC power supply |
Size endpoint demand against the default switch budget during power review |
|
Power budget behavior |
Cisco states that PoE budget is per device and independent of stack membership |
Plan endpoint power per switch instead of treating the data stack as one PoE pool |
|
StackPower boundary |
Cisco Catalyst 9300L Series switches do not support StackPower |
Use switch-level power supply planning rather than StackPower cabling |
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Line-item identity |
C9300L-24UXG-2Q-A with Network Advantage |
Prevents a same-hardware Essentials substitution or a non-L Catalyst 9300 mismatch |
|
Copper access layout |
8 mGig ports plus 16 10M/100M/1G ports |
Keeps the design from being selected as an all-1G C9300L-24P or data-only C9300L-24T switch |
|
Fiber handoff |
2 fixed 40G QSFP+ uplink ports |
Drives the QSFP+ optic or breakout decision and separates the SKU from 4X SFP+ models |
|
Endpoint power plan |
722W PoE budget with an 1100W AC supply class |
Keeps powered-device counts tied to the official C9300L-24UXG-2Q power value |
|
StackWise hardware |
C9300L stack kit plus the chosen Type 3 or Type 3A cable length |
Adds physical stacking parts that are separate from the software license decision |
|
Breakout use |
Breakout support for C9300L-24UXG-2Q starts with Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.2 |
Makes the software baseline visible when QSFP+ breakout will be used |
