C9300X-48HXN-E Description

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.

Key Features
High-Power Multigigabit UPOE+
48 ports combining 8×10 Gbps and 40×5 Gbps speeds, delivering up to 90 W per port for demanding PoE devices.
Scalable Stacking Fabric
StackWise-1T provides 1 Tbps of standalone backplane bandwidth and up to 1.96 Tbps in an eight-member stack.
Wire-Speed Security
100 Gbps hardware-accelerated IPsec and AES-256 MACsec ensure encrypted site-to-site VPN and link encryption without performance degradation.
On-Switch Application Platform
Quad-core x86 CPU, 16 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash, and USB 3.0 SSD slot support containerized network services and real-time monitoring.
Flexible Uplink Architecture
Four modular uplink slots support 10/25/40/100 Gbps optics for future-proof spine-leaf and data-center interconnect.
Enhanced Automation & Telemetry
NETCONF/RESTCONF, model-driven telemetry, and on-box scripting streamline provisioning, assurance, and troubleshooting.
Applications Scenarios
Optimized for large-scale corporate networks and distributed campuses, this switch delivers multigigabit connectivity and high PoE budgets for end-user devices, wireless backhaul, and virtual desktop infrastructure.
Powers and connects surveillance cameras, environmental sensors, lighting controls, and digital signage with mixed-speed mGig UPOE+ ports, enabling converged OT/IT deployments in smart factories, hospitals, and commercial real estate.
Handles encrypted site-to-site and cloud-gateway traffic at 100 Gbps IPsec throughput, ideal for financial services, government branches, and managed-service environments requiring high-performance VPN termination.
