PoE+ Access Switching for Campus Wiring Closets

C9300-24P-E is a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 24 1G copper PoE+ ports, a modular uplink bay and the Network Essentials license tier. The Cisco Catalyst 9300 24-port 1G copper PoE+ model fits campus wiring closets that need endpoint power for phones, cameras and access points while keeping uplink media selectable at order time. Supported network modules include C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, C9300-NM-2Y and C9300-NM-4M, so optics and uplink media should be specified separately from the base 24-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch. The Catalyst 9300 platform is rack-mountable and stackable, and C9300-24T-E is the closest data-only sibling for the same port count without PoE+.

C9300-24P-E price for new stock is $2,535.75, a 61.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $6,567.00. C9300-24P-E refurb price is $1,847.76. C9300-24P-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Uplink module selection

C9300-NM-8X is the default modular-uplink selection for C9300 configurations; choose C9300-NM-NONE or another supported module if a different uplink card or empty bay is required.

PoE supply sizing

Full PoE+ loading is 24 x 30W, or 720W. The default PWR-C1-715WAC-P provides 445W, so full loading requires PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or two PWR-C1-715WAC-P supplies.

Subscription path

Network Essentials is the embedded perpetual license. A same-tier Cisco DNA Essentials or Cisco Catalyst Essentials subscription is mandatory on new orders, with 3-year, 5-year or 7-year terms and a Smart Account.

Stack cable choice

StackWise-480 uses STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M or STACK-T1-3M cables for C9300 modular-uplink models. Stack members must use the same license level.

C9300-24P-E Use Case

Access Layer Endpoint Handoff

C9300-24P-E sits in an access closet and terminates copper runs from phones, workstations, printers, cameras, and wireless access points on 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. Network teams assign VLANs, QoS markings, authentication policy, and PoE budgets at the edge, then place the switch under Cisco IOS XE operations with the Network Essentials image. The 445W default PoE budget supports planned endpoint power allocation. The result is a powered access layer with defined policy boundaries and predictable copper port capacity.

Access to Distribution Uplink Handoff

The switch connects endpoint VLANs northbound to distribution through a separately selected Catalyst 9300 network module. Engineers match C9300-24P-E with modules such as C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Y, or C9300-NM-2Q according to the fiber plant, optics plan, and distribution interface speed. Access trunks, routed links, or EtherChannel groups carry the aggregated traffic away from the 24 PoE+ downlinks. The result is an access block that preserves endpoint cabling while aligning uplink capacity to the distribution design.

Stacked Closet Operations

Several C9300-24P-E switches form a StackWise-480 access stack when a wiring closet needs more powered ports under one operational view. Each member contributes 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports, shares a StackWise control plane with compatible C9300 Network Essentials members, and uses StackWise cables for the back-panel ring. Operations teams standardize IOS XE versions, VLAN templates, PoE allocation, and uplink placement before adding members. The result is higher access density with fewer independent switch management points.

Best For

Access Closet Refresh

A wiring closet refresh with existing Category 5e or better cabling can standardize on 24 1G copper access ports and PoE+ endpoint power. Specify the uplink module at the same time as the switch, because C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, C9300-NM-2Y and C9300-NM-4M change the distribution handoff.

PoE Budget Planning

A mixed phone, camera and access point rollout should be checked against the 445W default PoE budget before the PO is approved. Twenty-four ports at 30W equals 720W, so full PoE+ loading requires one PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or two PWR-C1-715WAC-P supplies rather than the default single-supply budget.

Stack Expansion

An added access switch in an existing Catalyst 9300 closet should match the stack license level and use StackWise-480 cabling. StackWise-480 stacks eight members, and the supported cable PIDs for modular-uplink C9300 models are STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M and STACK-T1-3M.

Not Suitable If

Full PoE+ on every port

The 445W default PoE budget is below 24 x 30W; size one PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or two PWR-C1-715WAC-P supplies instead.

UPOE or UPOE+ endpoints

C9300-24P-E is PoE+ only; C9300-24U-E provides UPOE, and C9300-24H-E provides UPOE+ in the same modular-uplink family.

Full routing protocols

Network Essentials excludes BGP, full EIGRP, IS-IS, VXLAN and MPLS; C9300-24P-A moves the same hardware to Network Advantage for those features.

Fixed uplinks

The uplinks are modular rather than fixed; C9300L-24P-4X-E is a 24-port PoE+ alternative with four 10G SFP+ uplinks.

Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300. The C9300-24P-E hardware is not listed as an end-of-sale switch in the Catalyst 9300 lifecycle listing, although separate IOS XE releases and some accessories have their own lifecycle notices.

What warranty and condition options are available for C9300-24P-E?

C9300-24P-E is available from ORM Systems as new sealed or certified refurbished, while Cisco lists Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty for the platform. ORM warranty coverage is up to 3-year extended on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition.

Which licenses are required for C9300-24P-E?

C9300-24P-E includes the Network Essentials perpetual network license and requires a same-tier Cisco DNA Essentials or Cisco Catalyst Essentials subscription on new orders. Cisco DNA and Cisco Catalyst subscription terms are 3, 5 or 7 years, and a Smart Account is required for the software licenses.

How much PoE power does C9300-24P-E provide?

C9300-24P-E provides a 445W PoE budget with the default PWR-C1-715WAC-P power supply. Because 24 ports at the 30W PoE+ maximum equals 720W, full PoE+ loading requires one PWR-C1-1100WAC-P or two PWR-C1-715WAC-P power supplies.

Which uplink modules work with C9300-24P-E?

C9300-24P-E uses Catalyst 9300 modular uplink cards including C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, C9300-NM-2Y and C9300-NM-4M. C9300-NM-8X is the default modular-uplink selection for C9300 configurations, while C9300-NM-NONE can be selected when no network module is wanted.

Can C9300-24P-E be stacked?

Yes, C9300-24P-E supports StackWise-480 with up to eight members. C9300 modular-uplink switches stack with other C9300 switches at the same license level, and mixed C9300X plus C9300 stacks operate at StackWise-480 speeds when the license levels match.

Which routing protocols does C9300-24P-E support?

C9300-24P-E with Network Essentials supports static routing, RIP, EIGRP Stub, OSPF up to 1000 routes, PBR, VRRP and PIM Stub Multicast up to 1000 routes. Network Advantage is required for advanced routing and scale features such as BGP, full EIGRP, IS-IS, VXLAN and MPLS.

What is the difference between C9300-24P-E and C9300-24T-E?

C9300-24P-E provides 24 1G copper PoE+ ports, while C9300-24T-E is the data-only 24-port 1G copper model. Choose C9300-24P-E when endpoints need switch-provided power, and choose C9300-24T-E where the same port count is needed without PoE+.

What is the difference between C9300-24P-E and C9300-24P-A?

C9300-24P-A carries Network Advantage, while C9300-24P-E carries Network Essentials on the same 24-port 1G copper PoE+ modular-uplink hardware. Select C9300-24P-E for routed access features in Network Essentials, or C9300-24P-A when BGP, IS-IS, VXLAN, MPLS or higher routing capability is required.

What is the difference between C9300-24P-E and C9300-48P-E?

C9300-48P-E doubles the access density to 48 1G copper PoE+ ports, while C9300-24P-E provides 24 1G copper PoE+ ports. C9300-24P-E suits a smaller closet or stack member, and C9300-48P-E suits higher endpoint density with the same Network Essentials tier.

Does C9300-24P-E support redundant power supplies?

Yes, C9300-24P-E has two internal power supply module slots and can use a second supply for redundancy or additional PoE capacity. The default PWR-C1-715WAC-P supply provides 445W of PoE, and a second PWR-C1-715WAC-P or a PWR-C1-1100WAC-P changes PoE headroom.
