C9300X-48TX-A Description

   The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48TX-A, also called the “48TX Advantage edge switch,” is a high-density 10GBASE-T access switch optimized for modern campus networks and branch-office deployments. Delivering 48 × 10 Gbps copper ports with auto-sensing down to 1 Gbps and 100 Mbps, it offers wire-speed performance through a 1 Tbps StackWise-1T fabric (2.76 Tbps in an eight-member stack). The C9300X-48TX-A features 100 Gbps hardware IPsec and AES-256 MACsec encryption for secure site-to-site VPN and link-level data protection. Powered by an on-device x86 CPU, 16 GB DRAM, 16 GB of flash, and a USB 3.0 SSD slot, this switch doubles as an application platform for containerized services and real-time analytics. The Network Advantage license unlocks advanced routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP), MPLS, segment routing, and programmable QoS, making it ideal for converged access, virtualization, and digital transformation initiatives.

Questions & Answers

  • What is Cisco C9300X-48TX-A designed for?

    Cisco C9300X-48TX-A is designed for 48-port 10G multigigabit data-only copper access with modular uplinks, StackWise-1T, and Network Advantage licensing. It fits powered-separately endpoints that need high-speed RJ-45 connectivity.
  • Does C9300X-48TX-A support PoE?

    No. C9300X-48TX-A is data-only and does not provide PoE or UPOE+ power. If high-speed endpoints also need switch power, compare it with C9300X-48HX-A.
  • How is C9300X-48TX-A different from C9300X-48TX-E?

    C9300X-48TX-A includes Network Advantage, while C9300X-48TX-E includes Network Essentials. Both provide 48 10G multigigabit data-only ports.
  • How is C9300X-48TX-A different from C9300X-48HX-A?

    C9300X-48TX-A is data-only, while C9300X-48HX-A adds UPOE+ power on multigigabit ports. Choose TX when devices have their own power and the goal is 10G multigigabit copper access.
  • Can C9300X-48TX-A support 10GBASE-T devices?

    Yes. C9300X-48TX-A supports 10G multigigabit copper access, making it suitable for high-speed wired devices that can use 10GBASE-T or lower negotiated copper speeds.
  • What uplink modules can C9300X-48TX-A use?

    C9300X-48TX-A supports C9300X modular network modules, so uplink capacity can be matched to the aggregate traffic from 48 multigigabit ports. The module choice should reflect upstream switch capacity and redundancy needs.
  • Can C9300X-48TX-A be stacked?

    Yes. C9300X-48TX-A supports StackWise-1T with compatible C9300X models. Stack design should account for software versions and high aggregate traffic from multigigabit access ports.
  • When is C9300X-48TX-A more than the site needs?

    C9300X-48TX-A may be more than the site needs if endpoints only require 1G copper or if Network Essentials is enough. C9300-48T-A or C9300X-48TX-E may be a better match.
