C9300X-48TX-E Description

C9300X-48TX-E
  The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48TX-E is a high-density, data-only access edge switch—sometimes called the “48TX multigig data switch”—designed for modern campus LANs and branch deployments. It offers 48 × 10GBASE-T copper ports for high-speed connectivity, backed by a 1 Tbps StackWise-1T fabric (2.76 Tbps in a full stack), and hardware-accelerated 100 Gbps IPsec with AES-256 MACsec for encryption at wire speed. With an x86 CPU, 16 GB of DRAM, and an external SSD slot, it doubles as a container-hosting platform for on-device analytics. The Network Essentials license provides core Layer 2/3 switching, NETCONF/RESTCONF automation, and basic troubleshooting features to streamline operations and accelerate digital transformation.

Questions & Answers

  • What is Cisco C9300X-48TX-E used for?

    Cisco C9300X-48TX-E is used for 48-port 10G multigigabit data-only copper access with modular uplinks, StackWise-1T, and Network Essentials licensing. It fits high-speed wired devices that have their own power.
  • Does C9300X-48TX-E provide PoE?

    No. C9300X-48TX-E is a data-only multigigabit switch. If endpoint power is required, compare it with C9300X-48HX-E.
  • How is C9300X-48TX-E different from C9300X-48TX-A?

    C9300X-48TX-E ships with Network Essentials, while C9300X-48TX-A ships with Network Advantage. The 48-port multigigabit data-only hardware profile is the same.
  • How is C9300X-48TX-E different from C9300X-48HX-E?

    C9300X-48TX-E is data-only, while C9300X-48HX-E provides UPOE+ power. Choose TX when connected devices do not need power from the switch.
  • Can C9300X-48TX-E support 10G copper endpoints?

    Yes. C9300X-48TX-E supports 48 10G multigigabit copper access ports. It is useful for high-speed wired devices that are powered separately.
  • Can C9300X-48TX-E use modular uplinks?

    Yes. C9300X-48TX-E supports C9300X modular network modules. High-speed uplinks should be considered because 48 multigigabit ports can produce significant upstream traffic.
  • Can C9300X-48TX-E be stacked?

    Yes. C9300X-48TX-E supports StackWise-1T. It can be stacked with compatible C9300X models when software and design requirements are aligned.
  • When should I choose C9300X-48TX-A instead?

    Choose C9300X-48TX-A when the same 48-port multigigabit data-only hardware needs Network Advantage from the start. C9300X-48TX-E is better when Network Essentials is enough.
