Cisco C9300-48S-E Catalyst 9300 Series Switch, 48xGE SFP/Modular Uplink/Stackable

Cisco C9300-48S-E Catalyst 9300 48-Port 1G SFP Managed Switch

The Cisco C9300-48S-E is a Catalyst 9300 Series enterprise access switch designed for high-density fiber-based network deployments. It provides 48 × 1G SFP ports for Gigabit Ethernet fiber connectivity and uses a modular uplink architecture for flexible upstream network expansion. The switch is particularly suitable for enterprise campus networks, fiber-based access layers, aggregation environments and organizations requiring high-density SFP connectivity.

Unlike copper-based Catalyst 9300 models, the C9300-48S-E is built around 48 Gigabit SFP interfaces, allowing network administrators to select compatible Cisco-supported SFP transceivers according to fiber type, distance and network requirements. The modular uplink design provides additional flexibility for connecting the switch to aggregation and core infrastructure.

Technical Specifications

Fiber Network Applications

The C9300-48S-E is designed for organizations that require a large number of fiber-based Gigabit Ethernet connections. It can be deployed in enterprise campus networks, fiber distribution environments, data-center access networks, building-to-building connectivity and other applications where SFP-based network interfaces are preferred.

Each of the 48 SFP interfaces can be paired with an appropriate compatible transceiver to support the required fiber type, transmission distance and network architecture. This provides greater physical-layer flexibility than fixed copper Ethernet ports.

Modular Uplink Expansion

One of the major features of the Catalyst 9300 platform is its modular uplink architecture. Cisco specifies network modules for the Catalyst 9300 platform that provide different uplink configurations, including 4 × 1G, 4 × Multigigabit, 8 × 10G/1G, 2 × 40G and 2 × 25G/10G/1G options. The exact uplink capability depends on the selected network module and configuration.

StackWise-480

The C9300-48S-E supports StackWise-480, allowing compatible Catalyst 9300 switches to be combined into a logical stack. Cisco identifies StackWise-480 as the stacking architecture for Catalyst 9300 models, providing high-bandwidth interconnection between stack members.

Network Management and Security

The Catalyst 9300 platform runs Cisco IOS XE and provides enterprise networking capabilities including Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, automation, visibility and security features. Cisco also documents support for programmable management technologies such as NETCONF, RESTCONF, YANG and streaming telemetry across the Catalyst 9300 platform.

Compatibility

The C9300-48S-E requires compatible SFP transceivers for its fiber interfaces. Transceiver compatibility depends on the exact Cisco optic, fiber type, transmission distance and configuration. Similarly, modular uplink functionality depends on the selected Catalyst 9300 network module. Always verify Cisco compatibility documentation before purchasing optics, cables or network modules.

Why Choose Cisco C9300-48S-E?

The Cisco C9300-48S-E combines 48 Gigabit SFP ports with a flexible modular uplink architecture and StackWise-480 capability. It is a practical choice for fiber-intensive enterprise networks that require scalable access switching, flexible uplink options and Cisco IOS XE-based network management.
