C9300L-48PF-4G-E Description
C9300L-48PF-4G-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for campus access networks that need 48 1G PoE+ copper ports with four integrated 1G uplinks. This Network Essentials model uses the PWR-C1-1100WAC-P power supply, provides an 890W default PoE budget for powered endpoints, supports StackWise-320 stacking, and runs from the Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.2 release family, making it a high-PoE Catalyst 9300L option for edge access closets that keep uplinks at 1G.

Product Performance
Key Features
The `-E` suffix maps this high-PoE fixed-uplink switch to Network Essentials instead of the Network Advantage level used by C9300L-48PF-4G-A.
PF ordering gives the 48-port PoE+ model an 890W default power profile, while the adjacent C9300L-48P-4G-E profile is listed at 505W.
The 4G base hardware uses fixed 1G uplinks, separating it from 4X models that use 10G/1G SFP+ fixed uplinks.
C9300L fixed-uplink switches use StackWise-320 with up to eight stack members and C9300L stack kit options.
Cisco lists PWR-C1-1100WAC-P as the default supply for the C9300L-48PF-4G profile, so power-supply matching is part of the SKU check.
The Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink design does not use the modular C9300 network-module selection path, keeping uplink choice tied to the base SKU.
Application Scenarios
C9300L-48PF-4G-E fits branch or campus access closets where Network Essentials is enough but the endpoint mix needs more than the 505W default PoE profile of the non-PF C9300L-48P model.
Use this model when the closet design is based on four fixed 1G uplinks and does not require the 10G/1G SFP+ uplink profile of the 4X variant.
The SKU can be planned as a C9300L StackWise-320 member when the stack hardware, cable length, and Network Essentials license level match the existing access stack.

- In a C9300L-48PF-4G-E vs C9300L-48PF-4G-A comparison, the hardware profile and 890W PoE budget match; the difference is Network Essentials versus Network Advantage.
- The C9300L-48PF-4G-E difference from C9300L-48P-4G-E is the power profile, because the PF model uses the 1100WAC-P supply with 890W PoE while the C9300L-48P model uses the 715WAC-P supply with 505W PoE.
- For C9300L-48PF-4G-E vs C9300L-48PF-4X-E, the comparison is uplink speed and bandwidth: 4G stays at fixed 1G uplinks, while 4X moves to fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and higher listed switching and forwarding values.
- The which model to choose question should be decided by Network Essentials versus Advantage, PF versus C9300L-48P-4G-E PoE budget, and 1G versus 10G uplink requirement.
Selection Guide
1. Pick it for Essentials high-PoE access
Choose C9300L-48PF-4G-E when the bill of materials needs 48 PoE+ copper ports, Network Essentials, fixed 1G uplinks, and the 890W PF power profile.
2. Use the A model for Advantage only
Move to C9300L-48PF-4G-A when the same C9300L-48PF-4G hardware should ship with Network Advantage and the matching Advantage term license.
3. Avoid the C9300L-48P model when PoE budget is tight
C9300L-48P-4G-E is the lower-budget neighbor, so keep the PF SKU when endpoint planning depends on the 890W default PoE value.
4. Select 4X for 10G aggregation
Use C9300L-48PF-4X-E only when the access design requires fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks or the higher 4X switching and forwarding values.
