Cisco Catalyst 9300 C9300-48U-A Description
The Cisco Catalyst 9300 C9300-48U-A is designed for high-density enterprise access networks that require reliable switching performance and integrated power delivery. With 48 Gigabit Ethernet UPOE ports, the switch can power high-energy devices such as wireless access points, IP surveillance cameras, and IoT devices directly through the Ethernet cable.
The switch supports Cisco StackWise-480 technology, allowing multiple Catalyst 9300 switches to operate as a single logical unit. This stacking capability simplifies management while improving redundancy and network scalability. The platform also includes StackPower, enabling power sharing between stacked switches for improved resilience.
The modular uplink slot allows administrators to add different uplink modules depending on network requirements, including 1G, 10G, or 40G fiber connectivity, providing flexible expansion for growing infrastructures.
With the Network Advantage software license, the switch supports advanced Layer-3 routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, and policy-based routing, making it suitable for access or distribution layer roles in enterprise networks.
Additionally, the Catalyst 9300 platform integrates with Cisco DNA Center, enabling automated provisioning, network analytics, and centralized policy management — helping IT teams manage complex enterprise networks more efficiently.
