C9300L-24UXG-4X-A Description
The C9300L-24UXG-4X-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink access switch built to pair Multigigabit access points with standard Gigabit endpoints on the same closet run under Network Advantage licensing. It carries 8 Multigigabit ports (100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G) alongside 16 standard 10/100/1000 ports, all capable of Cisco UPOE, and pairs them with 4 fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks instead of a modular uplink bay. The default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply delivers an 880W PoE budget out of the box, and the chassis stacks over StackWise-320 using the C9300L-STACK-KIT2 cabling shared across the fixed-uplink C9300L and C9300LM lines. This -A variant ships with the Network Advantage license tier, adding uncapped routed access, VRF and VXLAN segmentation, MACsec-256, and model-driven automation on top of the Network Essentials baseline, which fits access-layer roles that need those segmentation or automation features from day one.

Product Performance
Key Features
The 8 Multigigabit ports handle 10G-capable Wi-Fi 6/6E access points and cameras while the 16 standard UPOE ports keep phones and lower-draw endpoints on the same switch, letting one closet chassis cover both traffic classes without a second unit.
The 4 fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks aggregate the access-layer traffic upstream without consuming a modular uplink slot, which keeps the chassis simpler to spec but removes the option to swap in a 40G or 25G uplink module later.
The default 1100W supply already clears an 880W PoE budget from a single power supply, the highest single-supply default in the fixed-uplink C9300L UPOE line, so a closet with a dense mix of UPOE cameras and mGig access points can skip a second power supply on day one.
This -A SKU ships with Network Advantage, which removes the OSPF and PIM route caps of Network Essentials and adds VRF, VXLAN, and MACsec-256, so segmentation and advanced routing features are available without a separate license upgrade order.
Stacking runs over StackWise-320 using the C9300L-STACK-KIT2 cable set shared with other fixed-uplink C9300L and C9300LM switches, so members can be added for capacity without moving to modular-uplink hardware.
C9300L-24UXG-4X-A requires a minimum of Cisco IOS XE Release 16.11.1b, above the 16.5.1a baseline for the wider Catalyst 9300 Series, so a golden image already validated on modular-uplink C9300 hardware needs a version check before it is reused to stage this fixed-uplink mGig UPOE switch.
Application Scenarios
Deployed in floor wiring closets where Wi-Fi 6E access points, PoE cameras, and standard IP phones share the same row, using the mGig ports for the higher-bandwidth devices and the 1G ports for everything else.
Used where the access closet itself terminates VRF-separated VLANs or routed uplinks, taking advantage of the built-in Network Advantage segmentation and routing scale instead of relying on the distribution layer for that function.
Installed in wiring closets that scale in place, where additional C9300L or C9300LM members join the same StackWise-320 ring over time and the closet keeps a single management point instead of adding standalone switches.

- Against the C9300L-48UXG-4X-E, the C9300L-24UXG-4X-A trades away half the mGig and standard port count for a higher 880W default PoE budget on the same 1100W supply and the Network Advantage license already built in; a closet with fewer than 24 mixed mGig/UPOE endpoints that also needs VRF or VXLAN segmentation can standardize on the 24-port model instead of adding a license upgrade to the 48-port Essentials unit.
- Compared with the C9300L-48P-4X-A, the C9300L-24UXG-4X-A drops to a smaller port count but adds Multigigabit ports and a higher 880W default PoE budget on the same license tier; a design with no mGig-capable endpoints planned can stay on the pure 1G C9300L-48P-4X-A and use its larger 48-port footprint, while any closet needing faster-than-1G uplinks to access points should move to the mGig model regardless of the port-count difference.
- Against the C9300-24UX-A, both switches carry 24 Multigigabit-capable UPOE ports under Network Advantage, but the C9300L-24UXG-4X-A’s fixed 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks trade away the C9300-24UX-A’s modular uplink slot and StackPower support in exchange for a simpler bill of materials and a higher 272 Gbps switching fabric; a design that needs a 40G or 25G modular uplink later should specify the C9300-24UX-A instead of the fixed-uplink model.
- Selecting between the four ultimately follows port-mix and count first (mGig density and endpoint count), then uplink flexibility (fixed SFP+ versus a modular slot), since license tier only separates this SKU from the C9300L-48UXG-4X-E in the group.
Selection Guide
1. Shared 1440W PoE Ceiling Across The Comparison Set
This SKU’s PoE budget plateaus at 1440W once a 715W secondary supply is installed, and adding the larger 1100W secondary supply does not raise that ceiling further, matching the same 1440W design limit seen on the C9300L-48P-4X-A and C9300-24UX-A; a design counting on PoE headroom past 1440W for this port count should size a different chassis rather than assume the largest available secondary supply unlocks more power.
2. Mixed-Traffic Port Count Sets The 48-Port Move
Moving up to the C9300L-48UXG-4X-E covers more than 24 combined mGig and UPOE endpoints on one chassis, but that SKU ships with Network Essentials rather than Network Advantage; a design that needs both the larger port count and Network Advantage features must order the license upgrade separately, since no bundled 48-port Advantage mGig PID exists in this comparison set.
3. Modular Uplink Need Points To The C9300-24UX-A
A design that expects to add a 25G or 40G modular uplink module later, or that needs Cisco StackPower shared across stack members, should specify the C9300-24UX-A instead of this fixed-uplink SKU, since the fixed 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks on this chassis cannot be swapped for a different module or speed after purchase.
4. Advantage Hardware Locks The Subscription Floor
The Network Stack license on this hardware is Advantage, so the accompanying Cisco DNA or Cisco Catalyst software subscription must also be ordered at the Advantage tier to match; pairing Essentials-tier software with Advantage hardware is only permitted at renewal, not on a new order.

Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Network Stack and subscription tier match |
Confirm the Cisco DNA or Cisco Catalyst software subscription is ordered at Network Advantage to match this hardware’s built-in license. |
Mismatched tiers are only permitted at renewal, not on a new order, and can block activation. |
|
Second power supply and blank module |
If ordering with only one PSU, confirm a blank module ships for the empty slot; if adding a second PWR-C1 unit, confirm the target PoE budget against the 1440W design ceiling. |
Running with an empty, uncovered slot is against Cisco’s installation guidance and affects airflow and PoE headroom. |
|
Stack kit compatibility |
Confirm C9300L-STACK-KIT2 is included when stacking, and that any other stack members are C9300L or C9300LM fixed-uplink units at the same license tier. |
Fixed-uplink C9300L/LM units cannot stack with modular-uplink C9300/C9300X switches, and mismatched license tiers are not supported within a stack. |
|
Smart Account assignment |
Confirm the target Smart Account and Virtual Account before the order is placed. |
Catalyst 9300 Series SKUs are Smart Licensing-enabled, and a license tied to the wrong account can stall activation. |
|
SFP+/SFP optics on the fixed uplinks |
Confirm the optics chosen for the 4 fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks are listed on the Cisco optics compatibility matrix. |
An unsupported optic can be rejected by the fixed uplink port even if the form factor fits. |
