Description
Cisco Catalyst C9300-48U Switch
High-Power Enterprise Access | 48-Port Gigabit UPOE (60W) | 822W PoE Budget | 480-Gbps Stacking
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48U is a specialized, stackable enterprise access switch engineered to deliver high-density, high-wattage power alongside line-rate data. Featuring 48 10/100/1000 RJ-45 copper ports equipped with Cisco Universal PoE (UPOE), this switch supplies up to 60W of power per port. It is the premier choice for networks deploying power-hungry edge devices, including compact switches, building management controllers, high-end pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, and virtual desktop terminals. Built on the UADP 2.0 architecture, it perfectly marries exceptional power delivery with resilient Layer 3 routing and edge-to-cloud security.
Key Technical Features
* 60W Cisco UPOE Capacity
Delivers up to 60W of power per port—double standard PoE+ caps—backed by a large 822W default power budget to support advanced workspace devices.
* 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.
