C9300-24S-A Overview
C9300-24S-A is a managed Layer 3 Cisco Catalyst 9300 switch for fiber access and aggregation, built with 24 fixed 1G SFP ports and an empty modular uplink bay rather than fixed uplinks. The bay accepts Catalyst 9300 network modules for SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP, and multigigabit uplink choices, so the uplink mix is selected separately from the base chassis. This non-PoE switch installs as a rack-mount 1U member of the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series and uses the Network Advantage software image for routed access and segmentation-focused campus designs. A 715W AC default power supply supports chassis operation without allocating PoE power to endpoints. Its fixed SFP layout suits closets where fiber handoff matters more than copper endpoint power. The closest license sibling, C9300-24S-E, uses Network Essentials while keeping the same 24-port 1G SFP hardware profile.
208 Gbps switching capacity supports dense 1G fiber access across the fixed SFP interfaces and the selected uplink module. 154.76 Mpps forwarding rate keeps packet handling aligned with campus access traffic, while 688 Gbps stacked switching capacity supports aggregated designs when the platform is built as a stack. Non-PoE operation keeps the power design focused on switching, optics, fans, and redundant supply planning rather than endpoint power budgets. Static, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, and OSPF routing support routed access designs within the Catalyst 9300 software model. 126.4W maximum measured consumption keeps facilities planning tied to switch load rather than PoE draw. C9300-24S-A also carries 32,000 MAC addresses, 32,000 IPv4 routes, 16,000 IPv6 routing entries, 8 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash, 64,000 Flexible NetFlow entries, 4094 VLAN IDs, 1000 SVIs, and 9198-byte jumbo frames for campus policy and monitoring workloads. A 16-MB packet buffer, 300 PVST instances, and 13,000 STP virtual ports support larger access-layer control-plane designs.
C9300-24S-A sits at the enterprise access or small aggregation tier, connecting 1G fiber uplinks from access switches, media converters, building links, and fiber-served network devices before forwarding northbound traffic through the chosen module. StackWise-480 supports an eight-member stack, and the 1U chassis fits standard rack deployments where shared management and cross-stack uplinks reduce closet complexity. The fiber ports pair with matching 1G SFP optics, while the selected uplink module defines the upstream speed for distribution. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished, with refurbished units checked for boot status, SFP port recognition, power supply health, fan operation, and physical condition. Request a quote for the switch, matching modules, optics, power options, and stack accessories, with volume pricing available for enterprise refreshes and multi-site rollouts. ORM Systems supports volume buyers with matched configurations for staged closet builds, spare pools, and repeat campus orders.
C9300-24S-A price is $6,200.00, a 76.1% saving from the Cisco list price of $25,992.00. C9300-24S-A is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

C9300-24S-A Use Case
Fiber Access Closet Handoff
C9300-24S-A sits in an access closet and terminates fiber runs on 24 1G SFP ports from access switches, media converters, building links, and fiber-served network devices. Engineers map VLANs, routed interfaces, ACLs, and authentication policy to those SFP handoffs, then reserve the modular uplink bay for the distribution path. The Network Advantage image places advanced routing and segmentation functions at the fiber edge. The result is a controlled fiber access point with consistent policy applied before traffic moves upstream.
Access to Distribution Uplink Handoff
The switch operates at the access edge and presents aggregated 1G SFP traffic to distribution through a selected Catalyst 9300 network module. Engineers match C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, or C9300-NM-2Y to the upstream port speed, optics, and fiber plant, then configure trunks, routed links, or EtherChannel. C9300-24S-A keeps 24 fiber downlinks separate from modular uplink selection during refresh planning. The result is a cleaner access-to-distribution design with uplink bandwidth matched to the campus architecture while preserving existing fiber access cabling and optics.
Stacked Fiber Aggregation Block
Several compatible Catalyst 9300 switches form a StackWise-480 block when a site needs more 1G fiber ports under one management plane. C9300-24S-A contributes 24 SFP ports per member, while the stack centralizes configuration, image management, monitoring, and cross-stack uplink planning. Engineers standardize stack cables, power supplies, optics, software releases, and uplink modules before adding members to the closet. The result is higher fiber port density with simpler operations and a single logical switch across maintenance windows and future port additions.

What size of network fits C9300-24S-A?
C9300-24S-A fits campus closets, branch sites, and aggregation points that need a moderate density of 1G fiber interfaces. A single unit handles 24 SFP links, while StackWise-480 allows multiple compatible switches to scale under one management plane without adding separate management domains or separate switch identities.
Which workloads suit C9300-24S-A?
C9300-24S-A suits routed access, fiber aggregation, secure VLAN segmentation, policy-controlled campus access, monitoring, and resilient switch-to-switch connectivity. The 24x 1G SFP design favors fiber transport and infrastructure handoff rather than direct copper endpoint power, which keeps the SKU focused on network-side connectivity in campus infrastructure designs.
Can C9300-24S-A be used at a distribution handoff?
C9300-24S-A is commonly used at an access-to-distribution handoff when 1G SFP downlinks need modular higher-speed uplinks. Engineers select C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, or C9300-NM-2Y modules according to the upstream design, optics, fiber plant, and bandwidth plan for resilient northbound connectivity and growth across redundant distribution paths.
Which network modules work with C9300-24S-A?
C9300-24S-A works with Cisco Catalyst 9300 modular uplink options such as C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, and C9300-NM-2Y. The network module is not part of the base port count, so ordering should match the intended 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, or multigigabit uplink design during bill-of-materials planning.
Which optics and cabling are used with C9300-24S-A?
C9300-24S-A uses compatible 1G SFP transceivers in its 24 downlink ports, with fiber type, wavelength, connector, and reach selected for the installed cabling plant.
