C9300L-48PF-4X-E Description

C9300L-48PF-4X-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink access switch for campus edge networks that need dense 1G PoE+ connectivity with integrated 10G uplinks. This Network Essentials model provides 48 copper PoE+ access ports, four 10G/1G SFP+ uplink ports, StackWise-320 stacking, and an 890W PoE budget from the default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply, giving buyers a compact Catalyst 9300L option for powering endpoint-heavy wiring closets while keeping uplink and stack capacity built into the SKU.

Key Features

Essentials SKU with full PoE hardware

The `-E` suffix maps this C9300L-48PF-4X switch to Network Essentials while retaining the 890W PoE baseline of the PF hardware family.

Built-in 10G uplink path

The fixed 4 x 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks separate this SKU from 4G models that stay on fixed 1G SFP uplinks.

Higher PoE baseline than C9300L-48P

PF ordering pairs the 48-port PoE+ access profile with PWR-C1-1100WAC-P and 890W available PoE, unlike the non-PF C9300L-48P-4X profile listed at 505W.

StackWise-320 access stack design

C9300L fixed-uplink switches use StackWise-320, so stack planning should stay within the C9300L stack accessory path and compatible license level.

No modular network-module selection

The C9300L fixed-uplink design does not require a C9300 network module choice, which keeps the uplink identity tied to the switch SKU.

Cisco IOS XE 16.12.2 baseline

Cisco release notes list the C9300L-48PF-4X models with Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.2 as the introductory release.

Application Scenarios

High-PoE closets with 10G distribution links

C9300L-48PF-4X-E fits access closets where the endpoint mix needs the PF 890W PoE budget and the uplink plan needs 10G/1G SFP+ handoff toward distribution.

Essentials-tier refresh without modular uplinks

Deploy this model where the standard is Network Essentials and the project should avoid the modular C9300 uplink-module ordering path.

Stack expansion around 4X uplinks

This model can be planned as a C9300L StackWise-320 member when the stack build, cable length, license tier, and 10G uplink optics match the existing access design.

  • In a C9300L-48PF-4X-E vs C9300L-48PF-4X-A comparison, the port profile, 4X uplinks, PF PoE budget, and bandwidth values match; the difference is Network Essentials versus Network Advantage.
  • The C9300L-48PF-4X-E difference from C9300L-48P-4X-E is the PF power profile, because the PF model uses PWR-C1-1100WAC-P with 890W PoE while the C9300L-48P model uses PWR-C1-715WAC-P with 505W PoE.
  • For C9300L-48PF-4X-E vs C9300L-48PF-4G-E, the comparison is uplink speed and listed bandwidth: 4X uses fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, while 4G uses fixed 1G SFP uplinks.
  • The which SKU to order check should start with Network Essentials versus Advantage, PF versus C9300L-48P-4X-E PoE budget, and 10G/1G SFP+ versus 1G SFP uplink class.

Selection Guide

1. Choose it for Essentials with 10G uplinks

Order C9300L-48PF-4X-E when the bill of materials requires 48 PoE+ copper ports, Network Essentials, an 890W PF power profile, and fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks.

2. Keep the A suffix for Advantage

Use C9300L-48PF-4X-A when the same C9300L-48PF-4X hardware should ship with Network Advantage and the matching 48-port Advantage term license.

3. Avoid the non-PF model for larger PoE plans

C9300L-48P-4X-E is the lower default PoE neighbor, so keep the PF SKU when the powered endpoint plan depends on the 890W value.

4. Move to 4G only for 1G fiber handoff

Select C9300L-48PF-4G-E only when the access design should stay on fixed 1G SFP uplinks instead of 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks.

PoE Power Planning

Planning Item

Cisco Confirmed Value

Order Impact

PoE access profile

48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ ports

Match endpoint count and draw against the 48-port PF access profile

Default PoE budget

890W with PWR-C1-1100WAC-P

Use the 1100W AC Platinum supply as the baseline for this SKU

Secondary power supply options

1240W with 350W secondary supply; 1440W with 715W or 1100W secondary supply

Confirm whether the quote needs redundancy or a higher PoE capacity option

StackPower boundary

C9300L fixed-uplink models do not support StackPower

Size power per switch instead of planning a shared StackPower pool

Ordering Checklist

Check Item

What to Confirm

Why It Matters

Uplink media

Four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks plus matching optics

Validates the distribution handoff before fiber parts are added

License order

Network Essentials with a C9300L 48-port DNA Essentials term

Prevents an Advantage or Meraki subscription from being paired with the `-E` hardware

PoE sizing

890W available PoE from the default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply

Separates the PF budget from the 505W C9300L-48P-4X-E order path

Stack materials

C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2 with the chosen STACK-T3 or STACK-T3A length

Defines the physical StackWise-320 parts instead of leaving cable length implicit

Questions & Answers

  • What is Cisco C9300L-48PF-4X-E used for?

    Cisco C9300L-48PF-4X-E is used for 48-port full-PoE+ access with fixed 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and Network Essentials licensing. It fits PoE-heavy closets where more powered endpoints need to run at the same time.
  • What does PF mean in C9300L-48PF-4X-E?

    In C9300L-48PF-4X-E, PF indicates the full-PoE version of the 48-port PoE+ model. It has more PoE power headroom than the standard C9300L-48P-4X-E.
  • How is C9300L-48PF-4X-E different from C9300L-48P-4X-E?

    C9300L-48PF-4X-E is the full-PoE version, while C9300L-48P-4X-E is the standard PoE+ version. Choose PF when many ports will power endpoints at the same time.
  • How is C9300L-48PF-4X-E different from C9300L-48PF-4X-A?

    C9300L-48PF-4X-E ships with Network Essentials, while C9300L-48PF-4X-A ships with Network Advantage. The full-PoE hardware role and fixed 4x10G uplinks are aligned.
  • Can C9300L-48PF-4X-E power a large access point deployment?

    Yes. C9300L-48PF-4X-E is better suited than the standard 48P model when many PoE+ access points or cameras need power at the same time. Device wattage and uplink bandwidth still need planning.
  • What uplinks are on C9300L-48PF-4X-E?

    C9300L-48PF-4X-E has 4 fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks. It does not support modular uplink cards, so fixed 10G uplinks should meet the design requirement.
  • Can C9300L-48PF-4X-E be stacked?

    Yes. C9300L-48PF-4X-E supports StackWise-320. In full-PoE deployments, stack design should also consider power supply sizing and power redundancy expectations.
  • When should I choose C9300L-48UXG-4X-E instead?

    Choose C9300L-48UXG-4X-E when endpoints need UPOE or multigigabit access, not just more PoE+ budget. C9300L-48PF-4X-E is better when the priority is 48-port PoE+ power density.
