Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UXM-E 48-Port Multigigabit UPOE+ Managed Switch with 10G Uplinks

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UXM-E

High-Performance Multigigabit UPOE+ Networking

The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UXM-E is a high-performance enterprise Layer 3 managed switch designed for organizations that require high-speed Multigigabit connectivity, advanced power delivery, secure networking, and scalable infrastructure. It provides 48 Multigigabit Ethernet ports with flexible speed support, making it suitable for modern wireless access points, IP phones, surveillance systems, IoT devices, digital signage, and other bandwidth-intensive network endpoints.

The switch combines Multigigabit access connectivity with 4 fixed 1G/10G SFP+ uplink ports, providing high-speed connections toward aggregation and core network infrastructure. Powered by Cisco IOS XE and equipped with the Network Essentials license, the C9300-48UXM-E delivers enterprise switching, routing, security, automation, and management capabilities.

Multigigabit Performance for Modern Networks

The C9300-48UXM-E provides up to 480 Gbps switching capacity and approximately 356 Mpps forwarding performance, enabling efficient handling of high-volume enterprise traffic. Multigigabit connectivity allows compatible devices to operate above traditional Gigabit Ethernet speeds while helping organizations maximize the capabilities of existing structured cabling.

Flexible Multigigabit Connectivity

The switch provides a combination of Multigigabit access ports designed to support different network speeds. This flexibility is particularly useful for next-generation wireless access points and other high-bandwidth devices that require more than 1 Gbps of throughput. Organizations can upgrade endpoint performance without necessarily replacing their entire Ethernet cabling infrastructure.

Integrated 10G SFP+ Uplinks

Four fixed 1G/10G SFP+ uplink ports provide high-speed connectivity between the access switch and aggregation or core network layers. Fiber-based uplinks help support longer-distance connections and higher-bandwidth network architectures, making the C9300-48UXM-E suitable for demanding enterprise deployments.

Advanced UPOE+ Power Delivery

The UPOE+ capable platform is designed to support higher-power network endpoints through Ethernet connectivity. This helps simplify deployment of advanced wireless access points, IP phones, cameras, IoT equipment, digital signage, and other devices that require both high-speed data and increased power from the network.

Cisco IOS XE & Network Essentials

The Network Essentials license and Cisco IOS XE operating system provide an enterprise software foundation for switching, Layer 3 routing, network segmentation, security, automation, and management. Administrators can implement structured network policies and maintain centralized control across the enterprise infrastructure.

Scalable StackWise-480 Architecture

Cisco StackWise-480 technology allows compatible Catalyst 9300 switches to operate as a single logical system with up to 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth. This simplifies switch management, improves resiliency, and allows organizations to scale their access-layer infrastructure as network requirements increase.

Enterprise-Class Network Security

The C9300-48UXM-E supports enterprise security technologies including IEEE 802.1X authentication, Access Control Lists (ACLs), DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, Secure Boot, and MACsec. These features help authenticate devices, control access to network resources, protect traffic, and strengthen network security.

Intelligent Network Management

Network administrators can configure and monitor the C9300-48UXM-E through management technologies including Cisco Catalyst Center, CLI, Web UI, SNMP, SSH, NETCONF, and RESTCONF. These tools support configuration, monitoring, automation, troubleshooting, and operational visibility.

Future-Ready Enterprise Connectivity

Combining Multigigabit Ethernet, UPOE+, 10G SFP+ uplinks, Cisco IOS XE, Network Essentials, Layer 3 capabilities, StackWise-480, and enterprise security, the Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UXM-E provides a scalable foundation for modern digital infrastructure. It is especially suitable for organizations upgrading wireless networks and deploying high-bandwidth connected devices across enterprise environments.
