C9300L-24UXG-2Q-E Description
C9300L-24UXG-2Q-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable switch for campus access deployments that need mixed multigigabit and Gigabit copper connectivity with high-speed aggregation uplinks. This Network Essentials model combines eight UPOE mGig ports, sixteen 1G copper ports, two 40G QSFP+ uplinks, StackWise-320 stacking, and a 1100W AC default power supply with a 722W default PoE budget, making it a fit for access closets that must support higher-speed edge devices while keeping a fixed 2Q uplink design.

Product Performance
Key Features
The `-E` suffix places this C9300L-24UXG-2Q order on Network Essentials while preserving the same compact mGig UPOE hardware used by the `-A` variant.
Eight copper ports support 100M through 10G multigigabit speeds, and sixteen additional copper ports cover 10M, 100M, and 1G access connections.
The two fixed 40G QSFP+ uplinks separate the 2Q model from the 4X versions that use four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks.
Cisco includes C9300L-24UXG-2Q in the UPOE Type 3 switch group for IEEE 802.3bt mode, so powered-device sizing should use the correct PoE class and budget.
Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink switches use StackWise-320, with C9300L stack kits and stack-cable lengths handled as separate BOM items.
Cisco documents C9300L-24UXG-2Q breakout interface support beginning with Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.2, which matters when QSFP+ breakout is part of the design.
Application Scenarios
Use C9300L-24UXG-2Q-E where a 24-port Catalyst access layer needs a small set of 10G-capable copper drops and the site standard remains Network Essentials.
This SKU fits designs that prefer two QSFP+ uplinks from the access switch instead of spreading the uplink plan across four SFP+ ports.
The model can be added to a Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stack when the stack kit, cable length, license tier, PoE power plan, and optics are matched before purchase.

- In a C9300L-24UXG-2Q-E vs C9300L-24UXG-2Q-A comparison, the access-port mix, 40G uplinks, PoE value, stacking architecture, and performance rows match; the difference is Network Essentials versus Network Advantage.
- The C9300L-24UXG-2Q-E difference from C9300L-24UXG-4X-E is the uplink format, because 2Q uses two 40G QSFP+ ports while 4X uses four 10G/1G SFP+ ports.
- For C9300L-24UXG-2Q-E vs C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E, the comparison changes the access footprint from 24 ports with 8 mGig ports to 48 ports with 12 mGig ports.
- The which model to choose decision should follow the license tier, port count, uplink media, PoE budget, and stack materials shown in the comparison table.
Selection Guide
1. Start with the Essentials requirement
Select C9300L-24UXG-2Q-E when the site standard calls for Network Essentials on the C9300L-24UXG-2Q fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L hardware.
2. Upgrade the suffix only for Advantage
Move to C9300L-24UXG-2Q-A when the same port layout and 40G uplinks are needed under Network Advantage instead of Network Essentials.
3. Change to 4X for SFP+ aggregation
Use C9300L-24UXG-4X-E when the design should remain Essentials but terminate uplinks on four 10G/1G SFP+ ports rather than two 40G QSFP+ ports.
4. Increase port count with the C9300L-48UXG line
Choose C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E only when the deployment needs the Essentials license and 40G uplink profile with a larger 48-port access footprint.
