C9300L-48T-4G-A Description
The C9300L-48T-4G-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch built around 48 10/100/1000 Mbps data-only copper ports and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, running on the Network Advantage license tier. Cisco lists the C9300L-48T-4G hardware profile at 104 Gbps standalone switching capacity and 77.38 Mpps standalone forwarding, scaling to 424 Gbps and 315.48 Mpps across a StackWise-320 stack of up to eight members. The switch ships with the PWR-C1-350WAC-P 350W AC power supply and carries no PoE budget, since the C9300L-48T-4G port design is data only rather than PoE+ or Cisco UPOE. Network Advantage on this PID adds the segmentation, automation, and high-availability feature set, including VRF, VXLAN, NETCONF/RESTCONF, and MACsec-256, on top of the Layer 2 and limited routed-access baseline in Network Essentials. It fits campus wiring closets that need a full 48-port Gigabit Ethernet copper footprint for locally powered endpoints, with a fixed Gigabit SFP uplink handoff rather than a modular 10G/25G network module.

Key Features
The `-A` suffix ties this 48-port data-only switch to Network Advantage, carrying VRF, VXLAN, unlimited-route OSPF, and MACsec-256 into the same C9300L-48T-4G chassis that ships as Network Essentials under the `-E` suffix.
Four 1G SFP uplinks are built into the switch, so the bill of materials does not need a separate Catalyst 9300 modular network module to reach the distribution layer.
The C9300L-48T-4G port design carries no PoE budget, which separates this SKU from the C9300L-48P-4X and C9300L-48PF-4X Catalyst 9300L profiles that reserve a PoE+ power budget on the same chassis footprint.
Catalyst 9300L switches stack over StackWise-320 using the C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2 accessory, and only mix with other fixed-uplink C9300L or C9300LM members at the same license level.
Cisco maps the C9300L-48T-4G hardware profile to the PWR-C1-350WAC-P default supply, the smallest power option in the Catalyst 9300 family, reflecting the absence of PoE output on this port design.
Ordering this PID pulls in the C9300L Cisco DNA/Catalyst Advantage 48-port term subscription family, keeping the mandatory software subscription tier matched to the built-in Network Advantage license.
Application Scenarios
The C9300L-48T-4G-A fits wiring closets that need a full 48-port Gigabit copper footprint for desktops, printers, and other locally powered endpoints without a PoE requirement.
This SKU matches sites standardizing on Network Advantage across their Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink access layer while the uplink handoff stays at 1G SFP rather than 10G/1G SFP+.
Added into an existing Network Advantage Catalyst 9300L stack when expansion adds data-only user ports, keeping the stack on the same fixed-uplink accessory and license family as neighboring PoE switches.

- Ordering C9300L-48T-4G-A instead of C9300L-48T-4G-E keeps the identical 48-port data-only hardware, 4x1G SFP uplinks, and performance values in place; the only change is Network Advantage replacing Network Essentials, so a design that never needs VRF, VXLAN, or unlimited-route OSPF can drop to the C9300L-48T-4G-E order line and skip the Advantage subscription cost.
- Moving from C9300L-48T-4G-A to C9300L-48T-4X-A trades the fixed 1G SFP uplinks for 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and steps the switching capacity from 104 Gbps to 176 Gbps standalone; a closet whose distribution handoff is already planned at 10G should take the C9300L-48T-4X-A line instead of pairing this Gigabit-uplink model with optics it cannot use.
- Against C9300L-48P-4X-A, the C9300L-48T-4G-A gives up PoE+ output entirely: the C9300L-48P-4X-A carries a 505W default PoE budget on a 715W AC supply for powered endpoints, while this SKU has no PoE budget on its smaller 350W AC supply, so any closet with phones, cameras, or access points needs the C9300L-48P-4X-A line instead of this data-only model.
- For deciding which SKU to order in this group, settle the uplink speed requirement first, since it separates the C9300L-48T-4G and C9300L-48T-4X hardware outright, then confirm whether any port on the run needs PoE, since that determines the C9300L-48T-4G versus C9300L-48P-4X profile; license tier is the last variable to fix once the hardware profile is set.
Selection Guide
1. Gigabit Uplink Ceiling Before The 4X Step
Keep C9300L-48T-4G-A on the bill of materials while the distribution handoff stays at 1G SFP; once the design calls for a 10G/1G SFP+ uplink, the fixed-uplink hardware itself has to change to C9300L-48T-4X-A because the C9300L-48T-4G uplink ports are not field-upgradable.
2. Advantage Commitment Without Segmentation Use
This SKU carries Network Advantage and its matching Cisco DNA/Catalyst Advantage subscription; when the deployment only needs Layer 2 switching and basic routed access with no VRF, VXLAN, or MACsec-256 requirement, C9300L-48T-4G-E covers the same C9300L-48T-4G hardware at the lower Network Essentials tier.
3. No PoE Path On This Chassis
Because the C9300L-48T-4G port design carries no PoE budget on the PWR-C1-350WAC-P supply, any run that includes IP phones, access points, or PoE cameras has to move to the C9300L-48P-4X-A profile rather than adding a second supply to this SKU for power.
4. Advantage Tier Must Match Across The Stack
C9300L-48T-4G-A stacks over StackWise-320 and only mixes with other Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM fixed-uplink members running the same Network Advantage tier; a plan to stack it with modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 or 9300X hardware, or with a Network Essentials member, is not supported and needs a separate stack group.
