Description
Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UB Switch
High-Scale & Deep Buffer Access | 48-Port Gigabit UPOE (60W) | 32MB Buffer | 480-Gbps Stacking
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UB is a premium, high-density stackable enterprise access platform engineered for massive network scalability and mission-critical deployment edges. Driven by the advanced UADP 2.0 XL ASIC, this deep-buffer model doubles the standard packet buffer complex to 32 MB, significantly expanding MAC address tables, ACL limits, and Layer 3 routing thresholds to prevent packet drops during unpredicted network traffic spikes. Outfitted with 48 fixed Gigabit ports pushing up to **60W Cisco Universal PoE (UPOE)**, it delivers clean, high-wattage power to demanding IoT nodes, multi-radio wireless systems, and smart-building systems while maintaining absolute backplane stability.
Key Technical Features
* 32MB Deep Packet Buffer
Powered by the UADP 2.0 XL ASIC to supply twice the buffer size of standard 48-port units, keeping high-volume video, voice, and data streams fluid under heavy loads.
* High-Density 60W Cisco UPOE
All 48 copper interfaces deliver up to 60W of power per port—double standard PoE+ caps—backed by an impressive default power supply envelope.
* Stacking Constraints Warning
Supports up to 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. Note: Higher-scale "B" switches stack exclusively with other deep-buffer models (e.g., C9300-24UB, 24UXB).
* Modular Uplink Versatility
Features a modular network module bay accommodating optional 1G, 10G, 25G, or 40G uplinks to easily adapt as core infrastructure demands change.
* Advanced Perimeter Security
Utilizes Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA), AES-256 MACsec encryption, and TrustSec architectures to defend high-volume localized data flows.
* StackPower Resiliency
Incorporate Cisco StackPower to pool and share power supplies across your switch stack, ensuring absolute hardware availability if a unit PSU fails.
