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.

Product Performance
Key Features
The `-E` suffix maps this C9300L-48PF-4X switch to Network Essentials while retaining the 890W PoE baseline of the PF hardware family.
The fixed 4 x 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks separate this SKU from 4G models that stay on fixed 1G SFP uplinks.
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.
C9300L fixed-uplink switches use StackWise-320, so stack planning should stay within the C9300L stack accessory path and compatible license level.
The C9300L fixed-uplink design does not require a C9300 network module choice, which keeps the uplink identity tied to the switch SKU.
Cisco release notes list the C9300L-48PF-4X models with Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.2 as the introductory release.
Application Scenarios
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.
Deploy this model where the standard is Network Essentials and the project should avoid the modular C9300 uplink-module ordering path.
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.

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 |
