IE-9320-24P4X-E vs IE-9320-24P4S-E

A key difference between Cisco IE-9320-24P4X-E and IE-9320-24P4S-E is Uplink Interfaces: IE-9320-24P4X-E — 4 x 1/10G SFP+; IE-9320-24P4S-E — 4 x 1000BASE-X SFP. They also differ in Maximum Uplink Speed (10 Gbps vs 1 Gbps) and Switching Capacity (Standalone) (128 Gbps vs 56 Gbps). Match the uplink design to your distribution layer: 4 x 1/10G SFP+ on the IE-9320-24P4X-E versus 4 x 1000BASE-X SFP on the IE-9320-24P4S-E. The table below shows 55 specifications available for both models. Confirm licenses, accessories, power supplies and regional suffixes before ordering.

Buying decision

How to choose between IE-9320-24P4X-E and IE-9320-24P4S-E

Review the differences in this order to identify the model that best fits the intended deployment.

  1. 01

    Ports and uplinks

    Match access media, port count and speed first, then confirm that the uplink design fits the distribution layer.

  2. 02

    PoE and power

    Total the power required by connected devices and verify the PoE standard, budget, power supplies and redundancy.

  3. 03

    Performance and software

    Compare forwarding, stacking and scale in the intended topology, then confirm the license tier and software release.

Before ordering Confirm the exact Product ID, license tier, power supplies, accessories and regional requirements.
