C9300X-48HX-E Description

C9300X-48HX-E 
  C9300X-48HX-E is a high-performance Cisco Catalyst 9300X series switch, also known as the “48HX UPOE+ switch” or “48-port 10G multigigabit UPOE+ access switch.” Engineered for modern campus networks, it combines 48 × 10 Gbps multigigabit UPOE+ downlinks, 1 Tbps StackWise-1T stacking, and 100 Gbps hardware IPsec in a single device. The C9300X-48HX-E supports advanced security features like AES-256 MACsec and Encrypted Traffic Analytics, plus doubled app-hosting resources for on-switch containerized services. Its Network Essentials (-E) license enables fundamental Layer 2/3 switching, automation (NETCONF/RESTCONF), and troubleshooting capabilities.
