C9300L-48P-4X-A Description
The C9300L-48P-4X-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L Series fixed-uplink access switch built around 48 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ copper ports and four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, running the Network Advantage license tier on this hardware. Cisco confirms a 505W PoE budget on the default PWR-C1-715WAC-P 715W AC supply, StackWise-320 stacking through the C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2 module, and a 176 Gbps switching capacity that scales to 496 Gbps across an 8-unit stack. Because this PID carries Network Advantage, it ships with the segmentation, automation, and high-availability feature set (VRF, VXLAN, SD-Access readiness, NETCONF/RESTCONF, MACsec-256) layered on top of the Network Essentials baseline, making it the license tier Cisco positions for wiring closets that need more than basic Layer 2/routed access. The switch fits campus access deployments where PoE+ endpoints such as access points and IP phones need a fixed, non-modular uplink path into the distribution layer.

Product Performance
Key Features
The four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks give this closet switch a defined aggregation path to the distribution layer without a modular network-module bay, which simplifies BOM planning since there is no uplink-module SKU to select or stock separately.
The default 715W AC supply delivers a 505W PoE budget, enough to power a full 48-port closet of PoE+ access points and phones without requiring a second supply slot to be filled at initial deployment.
StackWise-320 stacking joins up to 8 units into a single management and forwarding domain, but only with other Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM fixed-uplink switches on a matching license tier, not with modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 or 9300X hardware.
Carrying Network Advantage on this hardware unlocks VRF, VXLAN, SD-Access-related automation (NETCONF/RESTCONF/YANG), unlimited-route OSPF, and MACsec-256, which matters for access-layer designs that need segmentation or automation beyond what Network Essentials covers on the same switch.
Three field-replaceable fan modules with N+1 redundancy let a single fan failure be serviced without powering down the switch, which matters for closets where PoE-powered access points cannot tolerate an unplanned outage.
Beyond the routing, segmentation, and automation protocols built into the Network Advantage hardware license, the matching Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA Advantage software subscription is what unlocks AVC/NBAR2 application visibility, ERSPAN, and app hosting on this switch, so those specific capabilities depend on the subscription line item rather than the hardware license alone.
Application Scenarios
Deployed as an access-layer switch in a wiring closet where the design calls for VRF-based segmentation or SD-Access-style automation reaching down to the access port, a role that depends on the Network Advantage entitlement carried by this PID.
Used to aggregate PoE+ access points, IP phones, and desktop endpoints in deployments where NETCONF/RESTCONF-based configuration automation or centralized assurance tooling is already part of the operating model, taking advantage of the automation features Network Advantage adds over Essentials.
Installed as part of a StackWise-320 stack where routed access needs to go beyond the 1000-route OSPF ceiling of Network Essentials, since Network Advantage on this hardware removes that route-scale limit.

- The C9300L-48P-4X-A and C9300L-48P-4X-E run on identical hardware and share the same 505W default PoE budget on the PWR-C1-715WAC-P supply; the difference is entirely the license tier, so a design that never needs VRF, VXLAN, unlimited-route OSPF, or MACsec-256 can order the -E variant and drop the Network Advantage premium without losing any port, power, or stacking capability.
- Moving up to C9300L-48PF-4X-A trades the fixed-uplink port and switching-capacity profile for a higher default PoE ceiling: its default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply gives 890W of PoE versus the 505W available here, which matters when a closet is provisioning high-power PoE++ endpoints across most of its 48 ports and the 715W supply’s budget would run short.
- C9300L-48T-4X-A shares the same 4x10G fixed-uplink layout and switching capacity but carries no PoE capability at all on its 350W supply, making it the right comparison only for data-only racks such as server-facing or non-PoE aggregation closets where PoE budget is irrelevant.
- Deciding among this group starts with PoE need (skip C9300L-48T-4X-A if any port needs PoE), then default PoE headroom (move to C9300L-48PF-4X-A only if 505W will not cover the planned endpoint mix), and only then license tier (C9300L-48P-4X-E instead of this SKU if Network Advantage features are not required); stacking behavior and port count are identical across all four and do not factor into the decision.
Selection Guide
1. When Network Essentials Is Enough
This SKU carries Network Advantage, which adds VRF, VXLAN, SD-Access automation, unlimited-route OSPF, and MACsec-256 over Network Essentials on the same hardware; a pure Layer 2 or basic routed-access closet that will never use those features can move to C9300L-48P-4X-E and keep the identical 505W PoE budget and port layout while dropping the Advantage license cost.
2. Moving Up for Higher PoE Headroom
The 505W default PoE budget here is fixed by the PWR-C1-715WAC-P supply; if the planned PoE++ endpoint load across most of the 48 ports will exceed that budget even after adding a second 1100W supply, C9300L-48PF-4X-A ships with a higher-capacity default supply and an 890W budget instead, avoiding a field power-supply upgrade after install.
3. Not a Fit for PoE-Free Racks
This hardware’s PWR-C1-715WAC-P default supply and PoE+ circuitry add cost that a non-PoE deployment does not use; a data-only rack should order C9300L-48T-4X-A instead, which uses the same fixed-uplink chassis on a 350W supply with no PoE capability.
4. Stack Compatibility Boundary
StackWise-320 on this switch only joins other Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM fixed-uplink switches on a matching license tier; it cannot stack with modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 or 9300X hardware, so an existing modular-uplink stack is not a valid target for adding this SKU.

Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Second power supply slot |
Confirm whether a PWR-C1-1100WAC-P second supply is needed at time of order or can be added later. |
The chassis ships with one supply installed; the second slot needs a supply or a blank module for correct airflow. |
|
Software subscription pairing |
Confirm whether a Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA Advantage term subscription (3/5/7-year) is being ordered alongside this Network Advantage hardware PID. |
The subscription is a mandatory ordering component separate from the built-in Network Advantage hardware license. |
|
Smart Account binding |
Confirm the target Smart Account before the order is placed. |
Cisco requires a Smart Account for Catalyst 9300 Series orders, and a mismatched account can stall license activation. |
|
Stacking kit selection |
Confirm whether C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2 and the correct cable length are included if this unit joins a stack. |
StackWise-320 on fixed-uplink hardware requires the stack kit and cable to be ordered separately from the switch. |
|
Minimum software release |
Confirm the target image is Cisco IOS XE Release 16.11.1b or later. |
Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink models have a higher minimum release than the general Catalyst 9300 Series baseline. |
