C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E Description
C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stackable access switch for high-density campus access closets that need both standard Gigabit Ethernet and multigigabit UPOE at the edge. The SKU combines 36 10/100/1000 Mbps copper ports, 12 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G mGig UPOE ports, and two fixed 40G QSFP+ uplinks under the Network Essentials license, with a default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P power supply, a 675W default PoE budget, StackWise-320 stacking, and 472 Gbps standalone switching capacity for access-layer deployments with higher-speed endpoints or wireless uplinks.

Product Performance
Key Features
The access side combines 36 standard 1G copper ports with 12 multigigabit UPOE ports, giving the order a different endpoint profile from all-1G PoE+ Catalyst 9300L models.
Two 40G QSFP+ uplinks are built into the switch, so the BOM does not use a separate Catalyst 9300 modular uplink network module.
The `-E` suffix maps the switch to Network Essentials, while the matching `-A` hardware path is the Network Advantage variant.
Cisco maps the C9300L-48UXG-2Q profile to PWR-C1-1100WAC-P by default, which is the basis for the 675W default PoE budget.
The model belongs to the Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink stack family and supports StackWise-320 with the C9300L stack kit path.
The 2Q model should be separated from C9300L-48UXG-4X-E during quoting because the fixed uplink optics and aggregation handoff are QSFP+ 40G instead of SFP+ 10G.
Application Scenarios
C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E fits access closets that need a 48-port Catalyst 9300L switch with a mix of standard copper and multigigabit UPOE endpoints.
This SKU is suited to closets where the upstream design is based on two 40G QSFP+ links rather than four separate 10G SFP+ handoffs.
Select this line for Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink deployments that should remain on Network Essentials while preserving the C9300L-48UXG-2Q hardware profile.

- In a C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E vs C9300L-48UXG-2Q-A comparison, the listed port mix, 2 x 40G QSFP+ uplinks, PoE budget, and performance values match; the difference is Network Essentials versus Network Advantage.
- The C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E vs C9300L-48UXG-4X-E difference is the fixed uplink design: 2Q uses two 40G QSFP+ uplinks, while 4X uses four 10G SFP+ uplinks.
- For C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E vs C9300L-24UXG-2Q-E, the comparison changes from 48 access ports with 12 mGig UPOE ports to 24 access ports with 8 mGig UPOE ports.
- The which model to choose decision should follow the license tier, fixed uplink optic type, access-port count, and PoE budget shown in the comparison table.
Selection Guide
1. Match the uplink handoff first
Choose C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E when the closet design calls for two fixed 40G QSFP+ uplinks from a Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink switch.
2. Keep the E suffix for Essentials
Use C9300L-48UXG-2Q-A only when the same C9300L-48UXG-2Q hardware must ship with Network Advantage instead of Network Essentials.
3. Use 4X for SFP+ aggregation
Select C9300L-48UXG-4X-E when the aggregation design needs four 10G SFP+ uplinks rather than two 40G QSFP+ uplinks.
4. Size the access layer before quoting
Review the 48-port access count, 12 mGig UPOE ports, default 675W PoE budget, StackWise-320 hardware, and Catalyst subscription term together.
