PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P-E

Enterprise PoE+ Switching for Modern Networks

The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P-E is an enterprise-class Layer 3 managed switch designed to provide reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), advanced routing, security, and scalable network management. It features 48 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, allowing organizations to connect and power compatible devices such as wireless access points, IP phones, security cameras, IoT devices, and other network endpoints through a single Ethernet cable.

Powered by Cisco IOS XE and equipped with the Network Essentials license, the C9300-48P-E provides enterprise networking capabilities including Layer 3 routing, network segmentation, automation, security, and intelligent management. Its modular uplink architecture enables flexible connectivity to aggregation and core network infrastructure.

High-Performance Enterprise Switching

The C9300-48P-E provides up to 208 Gbps switching capacity and 154.76 Mpps forwarding performance, helping efficiently handle business-critical traffic across enterprise networks. The switch is suitable for cloud applications, unified communications, video conferencing, wireless networking, surveillance, virtualization, and other bandwidth-intensive workloads.

Integrated PoE+ Connectivity

The 48 PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet ports allow compatible devices to receive both network connectivity and power through the same Ethernet cable. This simplifies deployment of IP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras, IoT devices, and other PoE-enabled equipment by reducing the need for separate power adapters and electrical connections at each endpoint.

Flexible Modular Uplink Expansion

The modular uplink slot provides flexibility for connecting the switch to higher-level aggregation and core network infrastructure. Organizations can select compatible uplink options according to bandwidth, distance, and network architecture requirements, helping simplify future network expansion.

Advanced Enterprise Security

Security capabilities include IEEE 802.1X authentication, Access Control Lists (ACLs), DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, Secure Boot, and MACsec. These features help authenticate users and devices, control network access, protect network traffic, and reduce security risks across enterprise environments.

Reliable Enterprise Deployment

Designed for demanding enterprise environments, the Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P-E combines high-density Gigabit connectivity, PoE+, modular uplink expansion, stacking, security, and intelligent management. This makes it suitable for networks where availability, centralized control, and simplified device deployment are important.

Future-Ready PoE+ Networking

Combining 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports, modular uplink expansion, Network Essentials, Cisco IOS XE, Layer 3 capabilities, StackWise-480, StackPower, and enterprise security, the Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P-E provides a scalable foundation for modern network infrastructure. It is an effective solution for organizations deploying connected devices at scale while maintaining centralized network management and security.
