C9300L-48PF-4X-A Description
The C9300L-48PF-4X-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for campus closets that power cameras, phones and Wi-Fi 6/6E access points over 1G copper. The switch has 48 PoE+ ports, four 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, 176 Gbps of switching capacity (496 Gbps with stacking) and an 890W default PoE budget on its 1100W supply. StackWise-320 joins it only with other Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM switches at the same license level.

Product Performance
Key Features
The default 1100W supply leaves 890W for PoE, so a closet can run a heavy mix of PoE+ endpoints before a second supply is installed.
A second 1100W supply raises the available PoE to 1440W, limited by port count and port rating.
Four built-in SFP+ ports give a defined path to distribution without a modular network-module bay.
Up to eight units join one stack, but only with Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM switches at a matching license level, not with modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 or 9300X switches.
Network Advantage adds VRF, VXLAN, unlimited-route OSPF, NETCONF/RESTCONF/YANG automation and MACsec-256 over the Network Essentials baseline.
Three field-replaceable fan modules run N+1, so one fan failure does not force a shutdown, whichever power supply configuration is installed.
Application Scenarios
Wiring closets with most of the 48 ports on PoE+ endpoints such as pan-tilt-zoom cameras, access points and multi-line phones can run them from the 890W default budget.
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.
Several closet switches can form a StackWise-320 stack, with each member’s four SFP+ uplinks running to the distribution layer at 10G.

C9300L-48PF-4X-A and C9300L-48P-4X-A have the same 48 PoE+ ports, four 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and Network Advantage, but C9300L-48PF-4X-A starts at 890W of PoE on its 1100W supply against 505W on 715W, so closets that power most of 48 ports at PoE+ need the PF model. C9300L-48PF-4X-M is the same hardware managed through the Meraki dashboard with a separate Meraki term license, for sites that standardize on Meraki. Multigigabit endpoints call for C9300L-48UXG-4X-E, with 12 mGig and 36 1G UPOE ports and 392 Gbps of switching, though it defaults to 675W of PoE and Network Essentials. Cisco lists no downgrade PID from Advantage to Essentials.

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.
