C9300-24P-A Overview
C9300-24P-A is a managed Layer 3 Cisco access switch for powered copper edge deployments, combining 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports with PoE+ and an empty modular uplink bay in a rack-mount 1U chassis. The bay accepts Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series network modules for SFP, SFP+, SFP28, and QSFP uplink media, so uplink ports are selected separately rather than built into the base unit. This model belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series and ships with the Network Advantage software image for advanced routed access designs. Its PoE+ profile fits closets that power phones, access points, cameras, and other edge devices from the access switch instead of local adapters. C9300-24P-E is the closest sibling with the same 24-port PoE+ hardware profile, but it uses Network Essentials instead of Network Advantage.
208 Gbps switching capacity delivers wire-speed access switching headroom for the fixed Gigabit Ethernet edge ports and selected modular uplinks. 154.76 Mpps forwarding rate handles campus traffic patterns where voice, data, wireless, and management VLANs converge at the closet. 445W PoE budget supports shared power allocation across attached endpoints from the default 715W AC power supply, with higher budgets available when the power design changes. BGP, OSPF, and IS-IS align the Network Advantage image with full Layer 3 routing, while VRF, VXLAN, LISP, SGT, MPLS, and BGP-EVPN with VXLAN support segmentation and fabric-oriented designs where the software release and licensing enable those functions. C9300-24P-A carries 8 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash for Cisco IOS XE operation. STP/RSTP/MSTP, LACP, and QoS controls support loop prevention, link aggregation, and traffic treatment at the access layer. A 32,000-entry MAC table, 16 MB packet buffer, 4094 VLAN IDs, and 1000 switched virtual interfaces suit the standard 24-port Gigabit Ethernet Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink profile.
C9300-24P-A fits the enterprise access tier, connecting IP phones, wireless access points, workstations, printers, cameras, badge readers, and other edge devices before handing traffic toward distribution. StackWise-480 stacking places multiple Catalyst 9300 members under one operating point, and the 1U rack footprint keeps the platform aligned with standard wiring-closet layouts. StackPower support lets power resources be shared across supported Catalyst 9300 stack members when the cabling and power supplies are planned for that role. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished, with refurbished units tested for boot health, port status, PoE delivery, fan operation, and power-supply behaviour before dispatch. Send the required quantity, condition, power plan, uplink module, optics, and warranty term for a configured order; enterprise and volume buyers receive matched Catalyst 9300 bundles for rollout, sparing, staged refresh programmes, and aligned accessory selection across repeated closet builds.
C9300-24P-A price is $1,824.00, a 72.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $6,567.00. C9300-24P-A is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

C9300-24P-A Use Case
Access Closet Endpoint Handoff
C9300-24P-A sits in the access closet and terminates copper runs from phones, workstations, printers, cameras, badge readers, and access points on 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. Network teams assign VLANs, QoS markings, authentication policy, and PoE budgets at the edge, then forward northbound traffic through the selected Catalyst 9300 uplink module. The Network Advantage image supports routed access and segmentation when policy belongs near users. The result is a powered access layer with local control over endpoint identity, traffic class, and routing boundary.
Access to Distribution Handoff
The switch occupies the campus access tier and presents aggregated endpoint traffic to distribution through modular uplinks chosen for the upstream design. Engineers pair C9300-24P-A with a Catalyst 9300 network module, matching 1G, 10G, multigigabit, 25G, or 40G handoff requirements to the fiber plant and distribution ports. Trunks, routed links, or EtherChannel groups carry user, voice, wireless, and management networks northbound. The modular slot keeps access-port cabling stable during uplink refreshes. The result is a 24-port PoE+ edge that adapts uplink bandwidth without changing endpoint cabling.
Stacked Access Operations Block
Multiple compatible Catalyst 9300 switches form a StackWise-480 access block when a closet needs more powered ports under one management plane. C9300-24P-A contributes 24 PoE+ copper ports per member, while the stack presents unified configuration, shared uplink planning, and coordinated software maintenance to operations teams. Engineers standardize IOS XE releases, stack priorities, StackWise cables, redundant power, and uplink modules before adding members across repeated closet builds. The result is controlled access-layer growth with fewer standalone switch contexts to monitor and maintain.
