Cisco Catalyst 9300-48P-A Advantage License 48-Port PoE+ Switch
Cisco C9300-48P-A Access Campus Switch
The Cisco Catalyst 9300-48P-A is a 1 RU, fixed-access enterprise campus switch built for mission-critical U.S. networks—from Silicon Valley innovation labs to Wall Street trading floors.
As part of the Catalyst 9300 family, it delivers 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 RJ-45 PoE+ ports with a default 715 W platinum-rated AC power supply (optional 1,100 W PSU for expanded PoE), hot-swappable field-replaceable fans, and modular uplink flexibility via Cisco network modules.
Running Cisco IOS XE with the Network Advantage license, it offers advanced Layer 2/3 services, enterprise-grade security, and seamless integration with Cisco DNA Center or Meraki cloud monitoring.
Overview
Core Highlights
-
48 × 1 GbE PoE+ Ports
Full 48-port PoE+ (30 W per port) with a 437 W total PoE budget on the default 715 W PSU (expandable up to ~850 W with optional 1,100 W PSU). -
Uplink Flexibility
Modular uplinks via network module slots: choose C9300-NM-4G (4×1 GbE SFP), C9300-NM-8X (8×10 GbE SFP+), or C9300-NM-2Q (2×40 GbE QSFP+). -
High Performance
256 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity and 190.47 Mpps forwarding rate to handle dense, east-west campus traffic. -
StackWise-480 Resiliency
Stack up to 8 switches with 480 Gbps of bidirectional stacking bandwidth; supports NSF/SSO, cross-stack EtherChannel, and err-disable auto-recover for sub-50 ms failover. -
Enterprise-Grade Security
Wire-rate MACsec (802.1ae), Secure Boot with Trust Anchor Module, 802.1X, DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, and scalable ACLs. -
Energy Efficiency
ENERGY STAR® certified, IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet, deep-sleep port modes, and low-power fan management for U.S. sustainability goals. -
Flexible Management
CLI, embedded Web UI, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, NETCONF/RESTCONF, Plug and Play, plus Cisco DNA Center and Meraki Dashboard integration for zero-touch provisioning.
