C9300X-12Y-E Description
The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-12Y-E is a high-density, data-only fiber access switch designed for campus and data-center edge deployments requiring ultra-high throughput and flexible uplink configurations. It features 12 SFP28 fiber ports that support multi-rate operation at 25 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 1 Gbps, enabling seamless migration to higher-speed optics as network demands grow. Uplink connectivity is modular: customers can choose from any combination of C9300X network modules—such as 8×25 G/10 G/1 G SFP (NM-8Y), 2×100 G/40 G QSFP (NM-2C), or 4×100 G/40 G QSFP (NM-4C)—to architect optimal aggregation or core layer connectivity without forklift upgrades.

Key Features
Modular Uplink Architecture
Four module slots support NM-8Y (8×25 G/10 G/1 G SFP), NM-2C (2×100 G/40 G QSFP), or NM-4C (4×100 G/40 G QSFP), enabling tailored aggregation path and investment protection.
StackWise-1T Technology
Stack up to eight switches with 1 Tbps per stack link (2 Tbps total), enabling unified management and seamless scale-out. Mixed stacking with Catalyst 9300 at StackWise-480 speeds is supported.
High-Speed SFP28 Fiber Ports
Twelve multi-rate ports running at 25 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 1 Gbps, delivering line-rate 25 GbE for high-density uplink or server aggregation.
UADP 2.0Sec ASIC
Provides 100 Gbps hardware IPsec and up to 100 Gbps MACsec, enabling high-performance encryption without CPU offload.
Advanced Security Suite
Hardware-anchored Secure Boot, SUDI, MACsec 256-bit, Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA), and Cisco TrustSec for zero-trust segmentation.
Model-Driven Telemetry
Real-time streaming via gNMI/YANG, flexible NetFlow, and Cisco Live-Upgrade for proactive assurance and rapid troubleshooting.
Application Scenarios
Acts as a 12×25 Gbps fiber leaf in small-scale spine-leaf fabrics, aggregating multiple 10 GbE server links.
Provides high-performance 25 GbE fiber interconnect to distribution or core, with modular uplink flexibility for 100 Gbps migration.
Delivers high-throughput fiber access at building entrances, integrated with Cisco DNA Center for zero-touch provisioning and real-time analytics.
