Description
Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UXM Switch
Asymmetric Multigigabit Access | 36x 2.5G Ports + 12x 10G Ports | 60W Cisco UPOE | 480-Gbps Stacking
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UXM is an optimized, high-density stackable enterprise access switch engineered to handle dense wireless infrastructure deployments cost-effectively. To balance performance and budget, the switch splits its 48 copper downlinks into an asymmetric layout: 36 ports supporting multi-rate speeds up to 2.5G (ideal for high-speed Wi-Fi 6 access points) and 12 ports delivering full line-rate 10G (perfect for high-performance uplinks or servers). Equipped with Cisco Universal PoE (UPOE) delivering up to 60W per port across all 48 connections, it handles heavy IoT demands effortlessly. Built on the UADP 2.0 architecture, it combines flexible multi-rate bandwidth with resilient Layer 3 features and multi-layer edge security.
Key Technical Features
* Smart Asymmetric mGig
Features 36 ports capped at 2.5G alongside 12 full-speed 10G ports to maximize multi-gigabit client density without inflating hardware budgets.
* 60W Cisco UPOE Capacity
All 48 copper interfaces supply up to 60W of power—double standard PoE+—to safely drive high-power IoT, cameras, and multi-radio corporate Wi-Fi arrays.
* 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.
* 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.
