C9300L-48T-4X-E Description
The C9300L-48T-4X-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink access switch built for data-only 1G copper deployments, pairing 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports with 4x10G/1G SFP+ fixed uplinks. The switch ships with a 350W AC power supply and carries no PoE capability on any port, positioning it as the non-PoE counterpart in the C9300L line for closets and racks where connected endpoints do not need inline power. It runs Network Essentials, giving it Layer 2 switching, routed access with up to 1000 OSPF routes, and MACsec-128 without the VRF, VXLAN, or unlimited-route routing that Network Advantage adds. Stacking uses StackWise-320 through the C9300L stack kit, which lets up to 8 units combine into a single 320 Gbps logical switch without the modular network-module slots or StackPower support found on modular-uplink C9300 and C9300X hardware. As a fixed 4x10G uplink model, it is best matched to distribution or aggregation links that need dedicated 10G capacity without occupying a network-module bay.

Product Performance
Key Features
The 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks are fixed rather than modular, giving every unit dedicated 10G aggregation capacity out of the box without consuming a network-module bay or requiring a separate uplink purchase.
All 48 downlink ports are data only with no PoE output, so the 350W default supply is sized purely for switching load rather than powered endpoints, which keeps the power footprint and cost lower than the PoE+ variant built on the same chassis.
Network Essentials on this SKU covers Layer 2 forwarding, routed access up to 1000 OSPF routes, and MACsec-128, which is enough entitlement depth for a straightforward access-layer role without paying for VRF, VXLAN, or unlimited-route routing that this license tier does not include.
Up to 8 units combine into a single 320 Gbps logical switch over the C9300L stack kit, but this fixed-uplink stacking cannot mix with modular-uplink C9300/C9300X hardware or use StackPower shared power redundancy.
Three field-replaceable fans ship standard with N+1 redundancy, so a single fan failure does not require an immediate hardware swap to keep the unit within its thermal operating range.
Rated for -5C to 45C at altitudes up to 5,000 ft (narrowing to -5C to 35C at 15,000 ft) with 5%-90% non-condensing humidity, the switch operates in typical unconditioned wiring closets and IT racks without supplemental climate control, though sites above the rated altitude or temperature band need a controlled enclosure instead.
Application Scenarios
Deployed as a 1G copper access switch in floor wiring closets where connected desktops, printers, and other non-powered endpoints do not require PoE, while the fixed 4x10G uplinks carry traffic back to the distribution layer.
Used in server or IT equipment racks to aggregate 1G copper connections from devices with their own power source, avoiding the cost of a PoE-capable supply that would go unused.
Added as a stack member alongside other C9300L or C9300LM units to extend a single logical access switch’s port count while keeping a shared 320 Gbps stacking fabric.

- The C9300L-48T-4X-E and C9300L-48P-4X-E share the same 48-port count, fixed 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, and switching bandwidth, so the real difference is PoE: the -48P-4X-E draws a larger 715W default supply to deliver a 505W PoE+ budget for phones and access points, while the -48T-4X-E stays on a 350W supply with no PoE output at all, which lowers both purchase and power cost when every connected device already has its own power source. Against the C9300L-24T-4X-E, the -48T-4X-E doubles the port count and switching bandwidth (176 Gbps vs 128 Gbps) and forwarding rate (130.95 Mpps vs 95.23 Mpps) on the same fixed-uplink and license structure, so the choice between them comes down to how many 1G data drops a single closet needs rather than any feature difference. Buyers should first confirm whether any connected endpoint needs inline power, since that alone rules out the -48T-4X-E in favor of the -48P-4X-E; if power is not a factor, the decision narrows to 24 versus 48 ports per unit before StackWise-320 stacking is used to reach the final port count.
Selection Guide
1. No Inline Power Rules Out This Data-Only Chassis
This SKU carries no PoE output on any port; if the deployment includes IP phones, wireless access points, or cameras that need inline power, the C9300L-48P-4X-E on the same chassis with a 715W supply and 505W PoE+ budget is the correct choice instead, since PoE cannot be added to this data-only hardware after purchase.
2. Doubling the 24-Port Sibling’s Switching Capacity
The 48-port count doubles both switching bandwidth and forwarding rate over the C9300L-24T-4X-E at the same fixed 4x10G uplink and license structure, so a closet needing fewer than roughly 24 active drops can standardize on the smaller chassis instead and save on both unit cost and rack space.
3. OSPF Route Ceiling Marks the Advantage Boundary
This SKU ships with Network Essentials, which covers Layer 2 and routed access up to 1000 OSPF routes with MACsec-128; a design that requires VRF, VXLAN, unlimited-route OSPF, or MACsec-256 needs the Network Advantage-licensed hardware instead, since the license tier is tied to the switch PID at time of order.
4. Fixed Uplink Stacking Boundary
Because this is a fixed-uplink C9300L model on StackWise-320, it can only stack with other C9300L or C9300LM units at the same license tier; a design that later needs to mix in modular-uplink C9300 or C9300X hardware for StackPower or network-module flexibility cannot extend this stack and requires a separate stack instead.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Network license and subscription match |
Confirm the Network Essentials hardware PID is paired with a matching Cisco Catalyst, Cisco DNA, or Meraki Essentials-tier subscription term, not an Advantage-tier subscription. |
Ordering guide structure requires the subscription tier to match the built-in Network Stack license; a mismatched tier can stall the order in Cisco Commerce Workspace. |
|
Smart Account binding |
Confirm the target Smart Account and Virtual Account before ordering, since Catalyst 9300 Series SKUs are Smart Licensing-enabled. |
An order tied to the wrong Smart Account can delay license activation after delivery. |
|
Software baseline for fixed-uplink C9300L |
Confirm the target Cisco IOS XE release is 16.11.1b or later before planning the deployment. |
Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink models require a higher minimum release than the base Catalyst 9300 Series baseline; an older image will not support this hardware. |
|
Second power supply and blank module |
If a second PWR-C1 supply is not ordered, confirm a blank module ships for the empty bay. |
Cisco requires the second bay to be filled with either a power supply or a blank module to maintain rated airflow and fan noise levels. |
|
Stack kit and cable length |
If stacking with other C9300L or C9300LM units, confirm the C9300L-STACK-KIT or C9300L-STACK-KIT2 and the needed cable length (0.5 m default, 1 m or 3 m optional) are included in the order. |
The stack kit and cable are not bundled automatically with every switch order, and the two kits use different cable families. |
