Description
Cisco Catalyst C9300-48S Fiber Switch
High-Density Fiber Aggregation | 48x 1G SFP Slots | 480-Gbps Stacking | Data-Only
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48S is a high-density, stackable enterprise fiber aggregation platform engineered for extensive campus distribution and access networks. Featuring 48 fixed downlink slots that support line-rate 1G SFP optics, this switch is designed to aggregate high volumes of downstream access switches, multi-building connections, and long-range enterprise links. Built on the proven UADP 2.0 architecture, it combines high-density optical flexibility with resilient Layer 3 routing capabilities, advanced investment protection, and multi-layer edge-to-cloud security.
Key Technical Features
* High-Density 1G Fiber Aggregation
Equipped with 48 dedicated SFP ports accepting various 1G transceivers to support flexible, long-distance multi-mode or single-mode optical runs.
* Cisco StackWise-480
Supports up to 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, enabling a resilient, single-logical-device architecture across up to 8 switches simultaneously.
* Flexible Modular Uplinks
Features a modular uplink slot accepting optional 1G, 10G, 25G, or 40G network modules to seamlessly scale your backbone connections.
* StackPower Resiliency
Leverage Cisco StackPower to pool and share power budgets across your local switch stack, reinforcing protection against sudden PSU hardware failure.
* Advanced Perimeter Security
Utilizes Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA), AES-256 MACsec encryption, and TrustSec architectures to defend localized enterprise traffic lanes.
* Container Application Hosting
An onboard x86 CPU structure with 8GB RAM allows engineering teams to host lightweight native monitoring, management, or security containers.
