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.
