C9300-48U-E Overview

The Cisco® Catalyst® 9300 Series Switches are Cisco’s lead stackable enterprise switching platform built for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud. They are the next generation of the industry’s most widely deployed switching platform. The Catalyst 9300 Series switches form the foundational building block for Software-Defined Access
(SD-Access), Cisco’s lead enterprise architecture. At 480 Gbps, they are the industry’s highest-density stacking bandwidth solution with the most flexible uplink architecture. The Catalyst 9300 Series is the first optimized platform for high-density 802.11ac Wave2. It sets new maximums for network scale. These switches are also ready for the future, with an x86 CPU architecture and more memory, enabling them to host containers and run third-party applications and scripts natively within the switch.

The Catalyst 9300 Series is designed for Cisco StackWise® technology, providing flexible deployment with support for nonstop forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), for the most resilient architecture in a stackable (sub-50-ms) solution. The highly resilient and efficient power architecture features Cisco StackPower®, which delivers high-density Cisco Universal Power Over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE®) and Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) ports. The switches are based on the Cisco Unified Access™ Data Plane 2.0 (UADP) 2.0 architecture which not only protects your investment but also allows a larger scale and higher throughput. A modern operating system, Cisco IOS XE with programmability offers advanced security capabilities and Internet of Things (IoT) convergence.

The foundation of Software-Defined Access

Advanced persistent security threats. The exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Mobility everywhere. Cloud adoption. All of these require a network fabric that integrates advanced hardware and software innovations to automate, secure, and simplify customer networks. The goal of this network fabric is to enable customer revenue growth by accelerating the rollout of business services.

The Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNAâ„¢) with SD-Access is the network fabric that powers business. It is an open and extensible, software-driven architecture that accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations. The programmable architecture frees your IT staff from time-consuming, repetitive network configuration tasks so they can focus instead on innovation that positively transforms your business. SD-Access enables policy-based automation from edge to cloud with foundational capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Cisco C9300-48U-E available new? +
Yes. This page lists the new condition currently available from BuyRouterSwitch. Availability can change, especially for bulk orders.
Can I request bulk pricing for C9300-48U-E? +
Yes. Businesses, resellers, MSPs, government buyers and procurement teams can request custom quantity pricing.
Does BuyRouterSwitch ship C9300-48U-E internationally? +
BuyRouterSwitch ships enterprise IT hardware to customers in the United States and international markets, subject to destination and product restrictions.
What power delivery capabilities does the Cisco C9300-48U-E offer for connected devices? +
This switch features 48 ports of Universal Power over Ethernet (UPOE), enabling it to deliver up to 60W of power per port. This makes it an ideal choice for high-draw peripherals like advanced pan-tilt-zoom cameras, sophisticated lighting systems, and high-performance wireless access points requiring more than standard PoE+ power.
How does the Network Essentials license impact the management of the C9300-48U-E? +
The Network Essentials license provides a robust foundational set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing capabilities, including OSPF and EIGRP stub. It is designed for standard enterprise deployments that require essential managed switching functions, VLAN support, and secure access features, providing a cost-effective management tier for critical infrastructure environments.
Can the C9300-48U-E be integrated into a larger stacked configuration? +
Yes, this model supports Cisco StackWise technology, allowing you to combine multiple units into a single logical switch. Stacking enhances operational simplicity and provides high availability, as you can manage the entire stack through a single IP address and benefit from sub-50-millisecond failover protection if a member unit encounters an issue.
What is the primary use case for this 48-port UPOE stackable switch? +
This switch is engineered for campus-wide enterprise deployments that demand high density and reliable power delivery. It is perfectly suited for smart building initiatives, converged voice, video, and data networks, and environments where high-power consumption devices must be managed centrally through an efficient, scalable, and resilient networking architecture.
