C9300X-48HXN-E Description

C9300X-48HXN-E
  The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48HXN-E (aka “48HXN UPOE+ mGig switch”) is engineered for high-density, power-hungry campus and branch access. Featuring 8×10 Gbps and 40×5 Gbps multigigabit UPOE+ downlinks, it delivers up to 90 W per port for heavy-duty wireless APs, IP telephony, and IoT endpoints. A 1 Tbps StackWise-1T fabric (1.96 Tbps stacked) ensures non-stop scalability, while hardware-accelerated 100 Gbps IPsec and AES-256 MACsec keep data secure at wire speed. On-switch application hosting—including 16 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash, and a USB 3.0 SSD slot—enables containerized services and analytics at the access layer. The Network Essentials license unlocks fundamental Layer 2/3, programmable QoS, and RESTCONF/NETCONF automation to simplify operations and accelerate digital transformation.

Questions & Answers

  • What is the port layout of C9300X-48HXN-E?

    C9300X-48HXN-E provides 40 multigigabit ports up to 5G and 8 multigigabit ports up to 10G, with Cisco UPOE+, modular uplinks, and Network Essentials.
  • Why does C9300X-48HXN-E have both 5G and 10G mGig ports?

    C9300X-48HXN-E balances port density and performance by reserving 8 ports for 10G mGig endpoints while the remaining 40 ports cover 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M access.
  • How is C9300X-48HXN-E different from C9300X-24HX-E?

    C9300X-48HXN-E gives 48 UPOE+ copper ports with mixed 5G and 10G mGig speeds, while C9300X-24HX-E gives 24 ports that can all reach 10G mGig.
  • What does the E suffix mean on C9300X-48HXN-E?

    The E suffix on C9300X-48HXN-E identifies Network Essentials licensing; the hardware remains the 48-port HXN mGig UPOE+ platform.
  • Which endpoints fit the 10G ports on C9300X-48HXN-E?

    C9300X-48HXN-E 10G mGig ports are often reserved for high-throughput access points, uplinked edge devices, compact servers, or media endpoints needing more than 5G.
  • What power planning matters for C9300X-48HXN-E?

    C9300X-48HXN-E uses the 1100W AC power-supply class and UPOE+ ports, so power budgets need endpoint wattage grouping, redundant supplies, and StackPower design.
  • Can C9300X-48HXN-E be stacked for larger access closets?

    C9300X-48HXN-E supports C9300X StackWise-1T, allowing larger closets to combine mGig port count, UPOE+ power, and modular uplink capacity across a stack.
  • What uplink decision is separate from C9300X-48HXN-E downlinks?

    C9300X-48HXN-E has modular uplinks, so 25G, 40G, 100G, or additional mGig uplink needs are determined by the selected C9300X network module.
