C9300X-48HX-E Description
The C9300X-48HX-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300X Series access switch built for 48 ports of 10G Multigigabit copper (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M) with Cisco UPOE+ power sourcing and modular uplinks, ordered with the Network Essentials perpetual license. It targets campus access closets that need to drive high-power endpoints such as Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points, PTZ cameras, and mGig-capable workstations over a single cable run instead of pulling separate fiber or power. The switch ships with a single PWR-C1-1100WAC-P 1100W AC supply and delivers a 590W PoE budget out of the box, with StackWise-1T stacking at up to 8 units and support for field-replaceable C9300X-NM network modules to raise uplink speed without a forklift upgrade. Network Essentials covers Layer 2, routed access, and standard telemetry, positioning this SKU for access-layer deployments that do not require the advanced routing, segmentation, or automation entitlements reserved for Network Advantage.

Product Performance
Key Features
Each of the 48 ports negotiates 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M and sources Cisco UPOE+, so a single closet run can carry both mGig bandwidth and high-draw PoE loads without separate power cabling to the endpoint.
The uplink bay accepts field-replaceable C9300X-NM modules, letting a 10G/25G/40G/100G uplink upgrade happen in the same chassis instead of forcing a switch replacement when core bandwidth needs grow.
StackWise-1T stacking runs at 1 Tbps across up to 8 members when stacked with other C9300X units, giving the access layer a single logical switch with more east-west headroom than the StackWise-480 fabric used by non-X Catalyst 9300 models.
The default 1100W AC supply yields a 590W PoE budget on its own; adding a second 1900W AC supply raises the available PoE budget to 2490W, which matters when a closet’s endpoint count grows past what one supply can carry.
Network Essentials on this PID covers Layer 2 switching, routed access, and standard telemetry, so segments that need VXLAN, SD-Access, or unlimited-scale OSPF must budget for a Network Advantage SKU instead of this license tier.
C9300X-48HX supports Cisco StackPower+, which pools power across stack members at a larger shared budget than the StackPower feature on non-X Catalyst 9300 switches, so a stack can rebalance available power headroom across units instead of sizing every member’s supply in isolation.
Application Scenarios
Deployed as a floor-level access switch for Multigigabit-capable access points, PTZ cameras, and desktop endpoints that need UPOE+ power over a single Cat 5e/6/6A run instead of a separate power source.
Used where individual endpoints such as Wi-Fi 6E/7 APs exceed 1G and require a 2.5G/5G/10G Multigigabit port to avoid becoming the bottleneck between the access point and the wiring closet.
Added into a StackWise-1T stack with other C9300X units to grow port count in a single logical switch while keeping the same license tier and management plane across the stack.

- The C9300X-48HX-E and C9300X-48HX-A share identical hardware, port layout, and 590W default PoE budget; the only difference is license tier, so a design that only needs Layer 2 and routed access can order the -E PID and skip the Network Advantage subscription cost, while a design that needs VXLAN, SD-Access, or unlimited-route OSPF must move to C9300X-48HX-A.
- The C9300X-48HX-E and C9300X-48TX-E run on the same C9300X platform and switching capacity, but the C9300X-48TX-E carries no UPOE+ circuitry and ships on a smaller 715W AC supply, so a closet with only data-only workstations or fiber-fed endpoints can use the lower-cost data-only PID instead of paying for PoE capacity it will not use.
- Deciding among the three starts with whether the deployment needs Cisco UPOE+ power at all: if it does not, the C9300X-48TX-E removes PoE budget as a selection factor entirely; if it does, the choice narrows to license tier between the -E and -A PIDs, which does not change port count, power supply, or switching capacity in this comparison.
Selection Guide
1. Upgrade Path When Segmentation Or SD-Access Is Needed
This PID ships with Network Essentials, which covers Layer 2 and routed access; the same C9300X-48HX hardware in Network Advantage adds VXLAN, SD-Access, and unlimited-route OSPF, so a deployment that later needs network segmentation or SD-Access has to move to the C9300X-48HX-A PID rather than a software upgrade on this license.
2. No-PoE Closets Do Not Need The UPOE+ Supply Premium
This SKU carries Cisco UPOE+ circuitry and a 1100W default supply for a 590W PoE budget; the C9300X-48TX-E on the same platform drops PoE support entirely on a 715W supply, so a closet with no PoE endpoints can move to the data-only PID and avoid paying for power sourcing capacity it will not use.
3. Stack Mixing Boundary With Non-X Models
StackWise-1T only runs at its full 1 Tbps rate when every member is a C9300X SKU at the same license tier; adding a non-X Catalyst 9300 member to the same stack drops the whole stack to StackWise-480, so a design that needs full StackWise-1T throughput must keep this SKU out of mixed C9300/C9300X stacks.
4. Network Module Bay Reuse
This SKU’s uplink bay accepts the same C9300X-NM modules across the -E and -A license tiers, so a stack that mixes both PIDs at the same license level keeps a single network module inventory instead of stocking separate modules per license tier.

Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Network license match |
Confirm the Network Essentials perpetual license matches the Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA Essentials subscription term ordered alongside it. |
A mismatched license tier and subscription tier can block activation in Smart Licensing. |
|
Smart Account binding |
Confirm the target Smart Account and Virtual Account before the order is placed. |
A license tied to the wrong account can stall entitlement activation after delivery. |
|
Second power supply need |
Confirm whether the deployment’s PoE load will exceed the 590W default budget before deciding on a second supply. |
Ordering without the second PWR-C1-1900WAC-P supply leaves no path to the 2490W extended PoE budget without a follow-up order. |
|
Network module compatibility |
Confirm any C9300X-NM module ordered separately is on the C9300X-compatible list, not a non-X C9300 module. |
C9300X network modules are not cross-compatible with the non-X Catalyst 9300 generation. |
|
Hardware coverage terms |
Confirm the Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware coverage terms apply to this PID before relying on Next-Business-Day replacement. |
Coverage requires the original owner and stops 5 years after Cisco’s end-of-life announcement for the platform. |
