C9300L-48PF-4G-A Description
C9300L-48PF-4G-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for campus access deployments that need dense Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ connectivity and Network Advantage features. It provides 48 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ copper access ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, an 890W default PoE budget with the PWR-C1-1100WAC-P 1100W AC supply, StackWise-320 support for up to eight switches, and 104 Gbps standalone switching capacity or 424 Gbps with stacking.

Product Performance
Key Features
The PF order uses the C9300L 48-port PoE+ fixed-uplink form factor with a higher default PoE budget than the non-PF C9300L-48P model.
The `-A` suffix places the switch at Network Advantage level, while the adjacent C9300L-48PF-4G-E order keeps the same PF hardware family at Network Essentials.
The 4G model uses built-in 1G SFP uplinks, so the uplink speed is selected by the base SKU rather than by a modular Catalyst 9300 network module.
C9300L fixed-uplink models use StackWise-320 and the C9300L stack accessory path, with stack planning kept inside compatible C9300L and C9300LM models at the same license level.
Cisco lists the PF model with an 1100W AC power supply and 890W PoE budget, making power supply confirmation a central order check.
C9300L switches do not use the modular C9300 network-module slot, so buyers should not add a C9300-NM uplink module to this bill of materials.
Application Scenarios
C9300L-48PF-4G-A fits branch or campus closets that need 48 powered 1G copper ports and a larger default PoE budget for phones, access points, cameras, or other PoE+ endpoints.
Select C9300L-48PF-4G-A for a site standard that requires Network Advantage, fixed 1G SFP uplinks, and the Catalyst 9300L operating model without a modular uplink selection step.
The SKU is the better match when a C9300L-48P-4G-A order would leave too little default PoE budget, while the aggregation handoff can remain at 1G SFP.

- In a C9300L-48PF-4G-A vs C9300L-48PF-4G-E comparison, the port profile, uplink class, default power supply, PoE budget, and bandwidth values match; the difference is Network Advantage versus Network Essentials.
- The C9300L-48PF-4G-A difference from C9300L-48P-4G-A is the power profile, because the PF model is listed with an 1100WAC-P supply and 890W PoE budget while the C9300L-48P model uses a 715WAC-P supply and 505W PoE budget.
- For C9300L-48PF-4G-A vs C9300L-48PF-4X-A, the comparison is uplink speed and bandwidth: the 4G model keeps 1G SFP uplinks, while the 4X model uses 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks with higher listed switching and forwarding values.
- The which SKU to order check should start with license tier, PoE budget, and 1G versus 10G uplink speed because those are the confirmed technical differences.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for high-budget 48-port PoE+ access
Order C9300L-48PF-4G-A when the closet needs 48 powered 1G access ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, StackWise-320, Network Advantage, and the 890W default PoE profile.
2. Keep the E suffix for Essentials
Select C9300L-48PF-4G-E only when the same PF 4G access profile should be ordered at Network Essentials level instead of Network Advantage.
3. Drop to C9300L-48P-4G-A only for lower PoE demand
Use C9300L-48P-4G-A when 505W default PoE is enough and the bill of materials should not include the PF power profile.
4. Move to 4X for 10G uplinks
Choose C9300L-48PF-4X-A when the access design needs 10G/1G SFP+ fixed uplinks or the higher Cisco-listed 4X bandwidth values.
PoE Power Planning

Order Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
PoE access profile |
48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ ports |
Match endpoint count and per-device draw to a 48-port powered access switch |
|
Default PoE budget |
890W with PWR-C1-1100WAC-P |
Use the PF model when the standard 505W C9300L-48P profile is too small |
|
Power supply basis |
1100W AC power supply |
Confirm regional power cord and any redundant or spare supply requirement |
|
Stack power boundary |
C9300L fixed-uplink models do not support StackPower |
Size PoE per switch rather than relying on shared stack power |
Ordering Checklist

Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
PF hardware identity |
C9300L-48PF-4G-A |
Separates the high-PoE C9300L-48PF order from the lower-budget C9300L-48P-4G-A |
|
Fixed uplink class |
4 x 1G SFP fixed uplinks |
Blocks a mistaken move to the 4X SKU when the distribution handoff is only 1G |
|
Advantage entitlement |
Network Advantage and C9300L DNA Advantage 48-port term |
Matches the `-A` suffix with the correct subscription family |
|
Power baseline |
PWR-C1-1100WAC-P with 890W listed PoE budget |
Sets the endpoint power review around the PF default supply instead of the 715W C9300L-48P profile |
|
Stack build items |
C9300L stack kit path and selected cable length |
Adds the adapters and StackWise cable needed for C9300L stack members |
|
Media and site power |
Supported 1G SFP optics and regional AC cord |
