PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Cisco Catalyst C9300-24S-E

High-Density Gigabit Fiber Connectivity

The Cisco Catalyst C9300-24S-E is an enterprise-class Layer 3 managed switch designed for organizations that require reliable, high-density fiber connectivity. Featuring 24 × Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports, this switch provides a flexible platform for fiber-based access networks, campus infrastructure, aggregation environments, and applications where optical connectivity is preferred over copper Ethernet.

Powered by Cisco IOS XE and equipped with the Network Essentials license, the C9300-24S-E provides enterprise switching, Layer 3 capabilities, network security, automation, and centralized management. Its modular uplink architecture allows organizations to expand connectivity toward aggregation and core network infrastructure as bandwidth requirements grow.

Cisco Catalyst C9300-24S-E

Enterprise-Class Switching Performance

Built on the Cisco UADP ASIC 2.0 architecture, the C9300-24S-E delivers up to 208 Gbps switching capacity and 154.76 Mpps forwarding performance. This provides reliable packet processing for enterprise applications, cloud connectivity, voice and video traffic, server connections, and fiber-based network infrastructure.

Enterprise Fiber Network Infrastructure

Flexible Fiber Connectivity

The 24 Gigabit SFP interfaces provide a flexible optical connectivity platform for enterprise networks. SFP-based connectivity can be used with compatible fiber transceivers to support different network distances and fiber infrastructure requirements, making the switch suitable for campus fiber distribution, building-to-building links, aggregation, and other long-distance network connections.

Modular Uplink Expansion

The switch features a modular uplink slot that provides additional flexibility when connecting the access layer to aggregation and core network infrastructure. Organizations can select compatible uplink modules based on their bandwidth and network architecture requirements, helping extend the useful life of the switching platform.

Enterprise Network Security

Cisco security technologies help protect network infrastructure and connected resources through capabilities such as IEEE 802.1X authentication, Access Control Lists (ACLs), DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, and Secure Boot. These features help control access, protect network traffic, and reduce security risks.

Future-Ready Fiber Networking

Combining 24 Gigabit SFP ports, modular uplink expansion, advanced Layer 3 capabilities, Cisco IOS XE, Network Essentials, StackWise-480, StackPower, and enterprise security, the Cisco Catalyst C9300-24S-E provides a dependable foundation for modern fiber-based enterprise networks. It is well suited for organizations requiring high-density optical connectivity with centralized management and scalable network architecture.
