Product Overview

C9300-48S-E Overview

The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches are Cisco's lead stackable enterprise switching platform built for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud. They are the next generation of the industry's most widely deployed switching platform. Catalyst 9300 Series switches form the foundational building block for Software-Defined Access (SD-Access), Cisco's lead enterprise architecture. The published specification for C9300-48S-E lists 48x 5 Gbps UPOE ports (100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G) and 645W available to powered devices. It is supplied new factory sealed, with the serial list issued before shipment and 12 months replacement warranty as standard.

Key Benefits

What Owning C9300-48S-E Changes

Rated Performance Written Into the Quotation

640 Gbps published for C9300-48S-E as its switching capacity, confirmed against the current datasheet revision when the line is quoted.

One Managed Unit Instead of Several

Cisco StackWise-480 support on this model lets a multi switch closet be configured monitored and upgraded as a single device, which cuts the work in every change window.

Uplink Capability Settled at Order Not at Install

Modular Uplinks on C9300-48S-E, so the uplink question is answered on the quotation rather than discovered when the unit is already racked.

Table Sizes Checked Against the Design

A Total number of MAC addresses of 32,000 on this model, the kind of ceiling that only becomes visible once a flat segment has grown.

Powered Access Without a Separate Injector Build

48x 5 Gbps UPOE ports (100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G) with 645W available to powered devices, so access points cameras and phones are fed from the same switch instead of from a parallel power estate.

Problems It Solves

Pain Points C9300-48S-E Removes

  • Network modules ordered late and delivered after the change window closed
  • PoE budgets sized for desk phones and now asked to carry Wi-Fi 6 access points, where 645W is the figure that decides it
  • Performance taken from a family datasheet rather than from this part number, where the published switching capacity is 640 Gbps
  • Uplink capability fixed at purchase and found insufficient once the access layer behind it was refreshed
  • End of sale announcements that leave a proven design with no supply route for C9300-48S-E
Who It Is For

Who Benefits Most From C9300-48S-E

Education IT

Delivering inside vacation windows against a budget year that rarely aligns with the install date

Healthcare Estates

Working to very short change windows with serial level records required for compliance

Machine Builders

Replacing an installed component with one that behaves identically to the unit removed

Campus Network Teams

Running one access standard across buildings of very different ages

Use Guide

Deployment Guide for C9300-48S-E

  1. Confirm the Full Part Number

    Check C9300-48S-E character for character including any suffix. On this class of hardware a single trailing character commonly changes the software tier, the power option, or whether a bundle is included.

  2. Check Site Prerequisites

    Confirm rack space, power feed, cabling and any uplink or accessory dependency before the order rather than on the day of installation.

  3. Calculate the Power Budget

    Compare the devices this unit will feed against the 645W available, using realistic device draw with headroom rather than class maximums.

  4. Settle the Uplink and Optics

    Match the uplink module and transceiver to the platform, the measured span and the fibre already installed, and order them on the same line.

  5. Record It on Arrival

    Photograph the sealed carton, reconcile the serial against the list supplied before shipment, then open and confirm the unit matches the label.

  6. Bench Power Before Racking

    Power the unit, capture the software version and the port or drive inventory, and record it while the unit is still accessible.

FAQ

C9300-48S-E Frequently Asked Questions

Is C9300-48S-E New or Refurbished

Standard supply is new factory sealed in the original vendor carton. If a quotation offers another condition that is stated explicitly in writing before you commit.

Can I Get the Serial Numbers for C9300-48S-E Before Payment Clears

Yes. Serials are issued before shipment so you can check them on the manufacturer portal while the goods are still with us.

What Is the Lead Time for C9300-48S-E

Availability is confirmed in writing per line at quotation rather than as a project average, because one late line is what moves an installation date.

What Warranty Does C9300-48S-E Carry

12 months replacement as standard. A vendor support contract is available separately and is registered under the end user name.

How Much PoE Power Does C9300-48S-E Provide

The manufacturer lists available poe power of 645W for this model. A PoE budget should be calculated from realistic device draw with headroom rather than from class maximums.

What Performance Is C9300-48S-E Rated For

The published switching capacity is 640 Gbps. Full port and performance specifications are issued with the quotation against the current datasheet revision.

Are Uplink Modules and Optics Included With C9300-48S-E

They are quoted as separate lines and reviewed against the chassis before the quotation is issued, so they reach site in the same consignment as the unit they belong to.

Can C9300-48S-E Be Stacked With Other Switches

The manufacturer lists Cisco StackWise-480 support for this model. Stacking cables are a separate line and are quoted with the switches so a multi switch closet arrives complete.

What Table Sizes Does C9300-48S-E Carry

The published Total number of MAC addresses is 32,000. Table ceilings usually only become visible once a flat segment has grown, so they are worth checking against the design rather than against today's estate.
