C9300X-48HXN-A Description

  The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48HXN-A, known as the “48HXN Advantage multigigabit switch,” delivers converged access and power consolidation for today’s demanding campus and branch-edge environments. With 8×10 Gbps and 40×5 Gbps UPOE+ ports (up to 90 W per port), it powers high-density Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, IP telephony, security cameras, and IoT devices over a single cable. A 1 Tbps StackWise-1T fabric (1.96 Tbps in an eight-member stack) provides seamless scaling, while 100 Gbps hardware IPsec and AES-256 MACsec ensure data-in-transit protection. The on-switch application platform features a quad-core x86 CPU, 16 GB of DRAM, 16 GB flash, and a USB 3.0 SSD slot, supporting containerized services and analytics at the access layer. The Network Advantage license unlocks advanced routing, MPLS, segment routing, and enhanced QoS for mission-critical networks.

Questions & Answers

  • What does C9300X-48HXN-A provide in one switch?

    C9300X-48HXN-A provides 48 Cisco UPOE+ multigigabit copper ports, with 40 ports up to 5G and 8 ports up to 10G, plus modular uplinks.
  • How is C9300X-48HXN-A different from C9300X-48HXN-E?

    C9300X-48HXN-A and C9300X-48HXN-E use the same mixed-speed mGig UPOE+ hardware, while the A suffix maps to Network Advantage licensing.
  • When does C9300X-48HXN-A fit a Wi-Fi 6E refresh?

    C9300X-48HXN-A fits Wi-Fi 6E refresh projects that need many 2.5G or 5G AP drops plus a smaller group of 10G mGig ports for heavier endpoints.
  • What does HXN mean for C9300X-48HXN-A planning?

    For C9300X-48HXN-A planning, HXN indicates the 48-port mixed mGig layout: 40 ports rated up to 5G and 8 ports rated up to 10G, all with UPOE+.
  • Can C9300X-48HXN-A deliver 90W on every port at once?

    C9300X-48HXN-A supports Cisco UPOE+ ports, but simultaneous 90W delivery across endpoints depends on installed power supplies, redundancy mode, and the measured device draw.
  • Which uplink modules matter for C9300X-48HXN-A?

    C9300X-48HXN-A requires a C9300X uplink module choice, so aggregation planning maps 100G, 40G, 25G, 10G, or mGig uplink needs separately from downlink count.
  • How does C9300X-48HXN-A behave in a stack?

    C9300X-48HXN-A supports StackWise-1T with C9300X members and StackPower planning for resilient access closets with many powered mGig endpoints.
  • Why choose C9300X-48HXN-A over C9300X-24HX-A?

    C9300X-48HXN-A is for higher port density with mixed 5G and 10G mGig access, while C9300X-24HX-A is for 24 ports where every port can reach 10G.
