C9300L-48PF-4G-A Description
The C9300L-48PF-4G-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for campus closets that power cameras, phones and access points over 1G copper. The switch has 48 PoE+ ports, four 1G SFP uplinks, 104 Gbps of switching capacity (424 Gbps with stacking) and an 890W default PoE budget on its 1100W supply. The -A suffix carries Network Advantage, and the uplinks are fixed because the switch has no modular uplink slot.

Product Performance
Key Features
The 1100W supply leaves 890W for PoE, against 505W on the 715W supply of the C9300L-48P-4G-A. A second 1100W supply raises the available PoE to 1440W, limited by port count and port rating.
The -A suffix adds VRF, VXLAN, unlimited-route OSPF, NETCONF/RESTCONF/YANG automation and MACsec-256 over the Network Essentials baseline of the C9300L-48PF-4G-E.
Uplink speed is set by the base hardware. The Catalyst 9300L has no slot for the C9300-NM network modules.
Up to eight Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM switches at the same license level join one stack at 320 Gbps, using the C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2.
Two power supply bays let a closet start on one 1100W supply and add a second later as the PoE load grows.
Three field-replaceable fan modules run N+1, so a single fan failure does not force the switch out of its thermal envelope.
Application Scenarios
A branch or campus closet can power cameras, access points and phones from 48 PoE+ ports, with the 890W budget covering about 18.5W on every port at once.
Access layers that need VRF segmentation, unlimited-route OSPF or NETCONF/RESTCONF automation get those features from the Network Advantage entitlement at the wiring closet.
A closet whose aggregation switch still runs 1G fiber links connects through the four fixed SFP uplinks, with no network module to install.

C9300L-48PF-4G-A and C9300L-48PF-4G-E are the same hardware with the same 890W default PoE and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks; C9300L-48PF-4G-A carries Network Advantage and C9300L-48PF-4G-E carries Network Essentials. An installed Essentials switch moves up with a C9300L-LIC= term (C9300L-48-E-A-3, -5 or -7), which cannot be placed on the original switch order, and Cisco lists no downgrade PID. Closets that need only 505W of PoE can order C9300L-48P-4G-A with its 715W supply. Sites that need 10G uplinks choose C9300L-48PF-4X-A, which also raises standalone switching from 104 Gbps to 176 Gbps.

Ordering Checklist
- Subscription term: Order a 48-port Advantage term: C9300L-DNA-A-48-3Y, -5Y or -7Y for Cisco DNA, or C9300L-DNX-A-48-3Y, -5Y or -7Y for Cisco Catalyst. The subscription is mandatory on a new order and must be the same tier as the Network Advantage hardware.
- Stack kit: Keep the default C9300L-STACK-KIT with a 50 cm cable, or select a 1 m or 3 m cable instead. The StackWise-320 ports need the kit and a cable long enough for the rack layout.
- Second power supply: The second supply is selected by default; C9300L-SPS-NONE removes it. With one PWR-C1-1100WAC-P the PoE budget is 890W, and it reaches 1440W only with the second supply.
- Power cords: Select the cord type for the destination country; two cords ship and the default is North America. The wrong cord type means the switch cannot be plugged in on site.
