C9300L-48PF-4X-M Description
The C9300L-48PF-4X-M is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L Series stackable access switch for Meraki dashboard-managed wiring closets that power dense PoE+ endpoints. The switch has 48 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports with an 890W default PoE budget, four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, 176 Gbps of switching capacity and a Meraki Advanced or Enterprise license. The Meraki term license is sold separately from the hardware and is required before the Meraki dashboard recognizes the switch.

Product Performance
Key Features
Configuration and monitoring run from the Meraki cloud dashboard rather than the IOS XE command line, and Adaptive Policy provides security-group segmentation.
A Meraki Enterprise or Advanced term of 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years is required before the dashboard recognizes the switch.
The default 1100W supply provides 890W for PoE, and the Meraki management mode does not change that budget.
Adding a second 715W or 1100W supply raises available PoE to 1440W, which covers 30W on all 48 ports.
Four SFP+ ports take 10G or 1G optics. The C9300L has no network module slot, so the uplink speed is part of the hardware.
Up to eight members share 320 Gbps of stack bandwidth, which raises switching capacity from 176 Gbps to 496 Gbps. Stacking uses C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2.
Application Scenarios
Branch and retail sites managed from one Meraki dashboard can use the switch to power phones and access points from its PoE+ ports, with no IOS XE command line to maintain at each site.
A school building with a small IT team can run its wiring closets from the cloud dashboard, using the 890W PoE budget for access points and the 10G SFP+ uplinks to reach the building core.
An office floor that groups users and devices with Meraki Adaptive Policy can apply security-group segmentation at the access port of this switch.

C9300L-48PF-4X-M carries 890W of PoE on its default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, while C9300L-48P-4X-M has the same 48 PoE+ ports and 4 x 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks on a PWR-C1-715WAC-P with 505W. Sites that feed more than 505W of PoE+ devices stay on C9300L-48PF-4X-M, and a second supply raises either model to as much as 1440W. The -M suffix means Meraki dashboard management, with a Meraki Advanced or Enterprise term license ordered as its own line. A network that runs IOS XE CLI under a Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA subscription needs C9300L-48PF-4X-A, which has the same hardware and the same 890W budget.

Ordering Checklist
- Meraki term license: Order a Meraki Enterprise or Advanced term of 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years as a separate line. The Meraki dashboard does not recognize the switch without it, and the license must match the licensing model of the customer’s Meraki organization.
- Accessories: Select the second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, C9300L-STACK-KIT and power cords by hand on a Meraki (-M) order. Nothing is added by default, so an unselected item does not ship.
