C9300L-48PF-4X-A Description
The C9300L-48PF-4X-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L Series fixed-uplink access switch built on the full-PoE+ hardware line, carrying a PWR-C1-1100WAC-P default power supply that Cisco confirms delivers an 890W PoE budget across 48 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ copper ports. Four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks handle the aggregation path to distribution instead of a modular network-module bay, and the switch stacks at 320 Gbps through StackWise-320 using the C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2 cabling shared with other fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM hardware. The -A suffix carries the Network Advantage license tier, which adds VRF, VXLAN, unlimited-route OSPF, NETCONF/RESTCONF automation, and MACsec-256 on top of the Network Essentials baseline available on the same hardware. Cisco positions this PoE profile for wiring closets where a large share of the 48 ports run higher-draw PoE+ endpoints and the standard 505W PoE+ tier on the C9300L-48P-4X line would not leave enough headroom without adding a second supply.

Product Performance
Key Features
The default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply delivers an 890W PoE budget out of the box, letting a 48-port closet run a heavier mix of PoE+ cameras, Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, and phones without needing a second power supply installed at initial deployment.
Four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks give the switch a defined aggregation path to distribution without a modular network-module bay, which removes an uplink-module SKU from the bill of materials and from field service planning.
StackWise-320 joins up to 8 units into one 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.
Network Advantage on this hardware adds VRF, VXLAN, unlimited-route OSPF, NETCONF/RESTCONF/YANG automation, and MACsec-256 over the Network Essentials baseline, which matters for access closets that plan segmentation or programmatic configuration beyond basic Layer 2/routed access.
Two internal power supply bays let the 890W default budget grow to 1440W by adding a second 1100W supply later, so a closet can size PoE capacity to its current endpoint mix without committing to a second supply on day one.
Three field-replaceable fan modules ship standard with N+1 redundancy, so a single fan failure does not require immediately powering down this switch to stay within its rated thermal envelope, independent of which power-supply configuration is installed.
Application Scenarios
Deployed as the access layer in wiring closets where most of the 48 ports carry PoE+ endpoints such as pan-tilt-zoom cameras, Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, or multi-line phones that draw closer to the PoE+ ceiling per port.
Installed where the access layer needs VRF-based segmentation, unlimited-route OSPF, or NETCONF/RESTCONF-driven automation reaching down to the wiring closet, relying on the Network Advantage entitlement built into this PID.
Used as part of a StackWise-320 stack where the design standardizes on the higher 890W PoE tier across member switches instead of mixing in lower-budget fixed-uplink models within the same closet.

- The C9300L-48PF-4X-A and C9300L-48P-4X-A share identical port count, uplink layout, license tier, and switching capacity; the only difference is the power supply and PoE ceiling, since the current SKU’s default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P gives an 890W budget against the 505W available from the C9300L-48P-4X-A’s default 715W supply, which matters once a closet plans PoE+ endpoints across most of its 48 ports rather than a handful of low-draw devices.
- Moving to C9300L-48UXG-4X-E trades PoE budget and license tier for port mix and switching capacity: its 12 Multigigabit plus 36 Gigabit UPOE layout and 392 Gbps switching capacity outscale this SKU, but its default 675W budget sits below the 890W here and it ships on Network Essentials, so it fits a Multigigabit-driven closet more than a straight 48-port PoE+ Advantage deployment.
- C9300L-48PF-4X-M keeps identical hardware and the same 890W default PoE budget as this SKU; the difference is entirely the management plane, since the -M PID moves configuration and monitoring into the Meraki dashboard under a separate Meraki term license instead of the Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA subscription and IOS XE CLI management this -A PID uses.
- For deciding which SKU to order in this group, start with management mode (Meraki dashboard versus Cisco Catalyst/DNA CLI management, which separates C9300L-48PF-4X-M from the other three), then size the PoE draw against the 505W/675W/890W tiers, and only then confirm whether Network Advantage features are required over Network Essentials; uplink layout and stacking architecture are identical across the whole group and do not need separate comparison.
Selection Guide
1. Downgrading When The 505W Tier Still Covers The Closet
This SKU’s 890W default PoE budget comes from the PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply; a closet where PoE+ endpoint load stays well under 505W per switch can move to C9300L-48P-4X-A instead, keeping the identical Network Advantage tier, port count, and uplink layout while ordering the lower-cost 715W supply tier.
2. Network Essentials Covers Access Without Segmentation
This PID carries Network Advantage, adding VRF, VXLAN, unlimited-route OSPF, and MACsec-256 over Network Essentials on the same hardware; an access closet that will not use segmentation, advanced routing, or NETCONF/RESTCONF automation can drop to the Essentials-tier C9300L-48PF-4X-E and keep the same 890W PoE profile and port layout.
3. Multigigabit Endpoint Mix Points To The C9300L-48UXG-4X Line
If the closet’s endpoint mix includes Multigigabit-capable access points or uplinks needing more than Gigabit per port, C9300L-48UXG-4X-E carries 12 Multigigabit UPOE ports that this all-Gigabit PoE+ chassis does not offer, even though its default PoE budget sits lower at 675W than the 890W available here.
4. License Upgrade Path Through A Separate PID
Cisco’s DNA upgrade license (C9300L-LIC=) moves this hardware from DNA Essentials to DNA Advantage, with Network Essentials synchronized to Network Advantage as part of that upgrade; a closet ordered on this Advantage-tier PID has no equivalent downgrade PID and would need to reorder as C9300L-48PF-4X-E to move to Network Essentials pricing.

Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Second power supply slot |
Confirm whether a second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P is needed at time of order to reach the 1440W PoE ceiling, or whether a blank module is sufficient. |
The chassis ships with one supply installed; an empty second bay without a blank module is not a supported operating configuration. |
|
Software subscription pairing |
Confirm a Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA Advantage term subscription (3/5/7-year) is 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 matching 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. |
|
Hardware suffix match |
Confirm the -A suffix is intended rather than -E or -M. |
All three suffixes share identical hardware; an order mismatch on license tier or management mode only surfaces at license activation. |
