C9300X-24HX-A Description

The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-24HX-A is an elite enterprise access switch designed for high-performance environments where bandwidth and power density are paramount. As a flagship member of the Catalyst 9300X series, it features 24 Multigigabit (mGig) ports capable of speeds up to 10 Gbps, with every port supporting 90W UPOE+ power. This configuration is perfectly tailored for smaller, high-value zones such as executive suites, advanced medical labs, or high-density Wi-Fi 6E clusters, delivering uncompromised speed and power to every connected device.

Powered by the next-generation UADP 2.5sec ASIC, this switch offers double the processing power and crypto throughput of previous generations. It runs on the Network Advantage license, enabling full core routing (BGP, MPLS), Application Hosting, and comprehensive SD-Access fabric roles. With StackWise-1T technology providing 1 Terabit of stacking bandwidth and support for 100G modular uplinks, the C9300X-24HX-A ensures a non-blocking, future-proof network edge for the most demanding digital applications.

Key Features

Universal Multigigabit Speed

10G to the Desk. Features 24 ports that support 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G speeds. This versatility allows you to connect the latest Wi-Fi 6E Access Points or high-performance workstations at their maximum speeds over existing Cat5e/Cat6 cabling, eliminating the need for costly fiber runs to the desktop.

90W UPOE+ Power

High-Power Convergence. Delivers IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (90W) power on all 24 ports simultaneously (with appropriate power supplies). This massive power density supports heavy-duty IoT devices like pan-tilt-zoom cameras, heated outdoor enclosures, and daisy-chained LED lighting systems without auxiliary power.

StackWise-1T Architecture

Terabit Scale. Introduces the industry’s first 1 Tbps stacking bandwidth. This enormous backplane capacity ensures that even when multiple switches are stacked, there is zero oversubscription for cross-stack traffic, providing a seamless, non-blocking fabric for high-speed data transfer.

100G Modular Uplinks

Core-Speed Connectivity. Supports the C9300X-NM network modules, offering dual-rate 100G/40G uplinks. This allows the access layer to connect directly to the core or distribution layer at data center speeds, ensuring that the 10G downlink traffic has a clear, uncongested path to the network backbone.

Application Hosting & ThousandEyes

Intelligent Edge. With doubled CPU power and 16GB of DRAM, this switch can natively run complex containerized applications. It comes with Cisco ThousandEyes Network and Application Synthetics pre-installed, giving IT teams deep visibility into the performance of critical cloud applications from the user’s perspective.

Advanced IPsec Encryption

Secure WAN Extension. The UADP 2.5sec ASIC provides line-rate IPsec encryption (up to 100 Gbps) directly on the switch. This allows organizations to create secure, encrypted tunnels over the WAN or internet, extending the secure campus network to remote sites without needing a separate firewall.

Application Scenarios

High-End Workstation Access

Creative & Scientific. Ideal for video editing suites, radiology reading rooms, or engineering labs where every user needs a dedicated 10G connection to the server. The mGig ports provide the speed, while the UPOE+ can power high-performance thin clients or displays.

Wi-Fi 6E High-Density Zones

Wireless Core. Perfect for covering high-density areas like auditoriums or conference centers. The 24 ports can connect a cluster of high-capacity Wi-Fi 6E APs, ensuring that the wired network does not throttle the multi-gigabit wireless throughput.

Smart Building Hub

IoT Aggregation. Serves as a central power and data hub for a smart floor. It powers lighting, environmental sensors, and security systems, while its advanced segmentation features (SD-Access) keep IoT traffic securely isolated from corporate data.

Selection Guide

  • Requirement for Multi-Gigabit Speed
    Select this model if you need 2.5G, 5G, or 10G copper connectivity. It is essential for unlocking the full throughput of Wi-Fi 6E Access Points and high-performance workstations that exceed Gigabit limits.
  • Right-Sized High Performance
    If your high-bandwidth user group is small (under 24 devices), this switch offers the same elite performance (10G ports, 100G uplinks) as the 48-port model but at a lower price point and smaller footprint.
  • Future-Proof 100G Core Uplinks
    This is one of the few access switches capable of 100G uplinks. Choose this X-series model to ensure your access layer is ready for the next decade of backbone speed upgrades without needing a forklift replacement.
  • High-Density 90W Power Needs
    Even with 24 ports, the power demand of modern IoT devices can be immense. This switch’s support for dual 1100W/1900W power supplies ensures you can drive every single port at full 90W power if necessary.

Questions & Answers

  • What makes C9300X-24HX-A a high-density access switch?

    C9300X-24HX-A combines 24 10G multigigabit RJ-45 ports, 90W Cisco UPOE+ support, modular uplinks, and Network Advantage licensing for advanced campus access designs.
  • How does C9300X-24HX-A differ from the E version?

    C9300X-24HX-A uses the same 24-port mGig UPOE+ platform as C9300X-24HX-E, while the A suffix maps to the Network Advantage software level.
  • Can C9300X-24HX-A power high-wattage endpoints?

    C9300X-24HX-A is designed for Cisco UPOE+ endpoint power on its 24 mGig ports, with final power allocation driven by supplies, redundancy, and connected device draw.
  • What uplink choice affects C9300X-24HX-A designs?

    C9300X-24HX-A needs a selected C9300X network module for uplinks, so 25G, 40G, 100G, or mGig uplink capacity is not defined by the base switch alone.
  • Is C9300X-24HX-A only for wireless access points?

    C9300X-24HX-A also fits smart-building devices, high-speed workstations, and uplink-heavy access closets where 10G mGig copper and 90W power are required together.
  • How does C9300X-24HX-A stack with other Catalyst 9300 models?

    C9300X-24HX-A can use StackWise-1T in a C9300X stack, while mixed stacks with modular C9300 models operate under compatibility and bandwidth limits.
  • What checks come before replacing 1G PoE switches with C9300X-24HX-A?

    C9300X-24HX-A replacement planning checks cable category, endpoint power draw, 1100W power-supply sizing, uplink module speed, software license level, and stack design.
  • Why use C9300X-24HX-A instead of a 48-port model?

    C9300X-24HX-A works where every copper downlink needs 10G mGig capability, and the site values 24-port density over a larger mixed-speed 48-port chassis.
