C9300L-48T-4X-E Description
The C9300L-48T-4X-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for wiring closets with data-only endpoints. Its 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports are data only, four fixed SFP+ ports run 10G or 1G uplinks, and the switch moves 176 Gbps standalone on a 350W AC supply. Network Essentials covers Layer 2 and OSPF routing up to 1,000 routes but not BGP, VRF or VXLAN.

Product Performance
Key Features
Four SFP+ uplinks come built in and run at 10G or 1G, so every unit has dedicated aggregation bandwidth without a network module bay.
None of the 48 ports supplies PoE, so the 350W default supply only has to cover the switch itself and the power draw stays low.
Network Essentials provides Layer 2 forwarding, routed access with OSPF up to 1,000 routes and MACsec-128. VRF, VXLAN and unlimited OSPF routes belong to the Advantage tier.
Up to eight units combine into one logical switch over a C9300L stack kit. Fixed-uplink units cannot mix with modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 hardware or use StackPower.
Three field-replaceable fans ship standard with N+1 redundancy. The switch is rated from -5C to 45C up to 5,000 ft, so a typical unconditioned wiring closet is within range.
Two internal bays take power supplies, and the unit ships with one in slot 1. A blank module must fill an empty bay to preserve airflow.
Application Scenarios
Across the floors of a campus building, the switch serves classroom, office and lab desktops over Gigabit copper and hands traffic to the distribution layer on its fixed SFP+ uplinks.
A training room full of workstations and thin clients with local power can run on this switch, because the endpoints need data connections only and no PoE budget is involved.
When a closet needs more than 48 ports, the switch can be added next to other Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM units on the same license tier, and the stack shares one 320 Gbps StackWise-320 fabric.

C9300L-48T-4X-E is the data-only model of this group: C9300L-48P-4X-E has the same 48 ports and four 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks but ships with PWR-C1-715WAC-P and 505W of default PoE+, so closets that power phones or access points need C9300L-48P-4X-E. Where only 24 copper ports are needed, C9300L-24T-4X-E drops to 128 Gbps of switching against 176 Gbps. Network Essentials is built into the hardware; sites that need Network Advantage order C9300L-48T-4X-A, or upgrade an installed switch with a C9300L-48-E-A-3, -5 or -7 term under C9300L-LIC=, which cannot be placed on the switch order. All members of one stack must run the same license tier.
Ordering Checklist
- Subscription term: Order C9300L-DNA-E-48-3Y, -5Y or -7Y for a Network Essentials switch. The configurator defaults to Cisco DNA Advantage for 5 years, which does not match this Essentials switch.
- Second power supply: A second PWR-C1-350WAC-P is selected by default; C9300L-SPS-NONE removes it. A second supply added or dropped by accident changes the power bill and the redundancy of the closet.
- Stacking kit: C9300L-STACK-KIT is added by default with a 50 cm cable (50CM, 1M or 3M); C9300L-STACK-KIT2 is the alternative kit. The two kits use different cable families, and a switch ordered without the kit cannot join a StackWise-320 stack.
- Power cords: Select the cord type for the destination country; North America is the default. Two cords ship with the switch, and the default does not match other countries.
