Fiber Access for Managed Enterprise Networks
C9300-24S-E provides managed Layer 3 enterprise access through 24 fixed Gigabit SFP ports, with non-PoE operation and an empty modular uplink bay in a 1U rack-mount chassis. Network Essentials supplies the perpetual network tier for this fiber-access configuration. The Cisco Catalyst 9300 serves purchases centered on optical access connections rather than copper-powered endpoints, separating the access-port requirement from the uplink selection. C9300-24S-A retains the same fiber-port arrangement but includes Network Advantage for advanced routing requirements. Cisco IOS XE runs this model within the Catalyst 9000 family. An optical access layout calls for a link-by-link plan covering fiber type and the connection at the far end before the hardware configuration is finalized.
C9300-24S-E price for new stock is $12,384.75, a 54.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $27,161.00. C9300-24S-E refurb price is $9,434.25. C9300-24S-E is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

Technical Details
208 Gbps switching capacity sets the standalone switching ceiling, and 154.76 Mpps forwarding rate defines packet-processing throughput for 64-byte IPv4 packets. OSPF supports up to 1000 routes for routed access; RIP, EIGRP Stub, PBR, VRRP and PIM Stub Multicast provide additional routing functions, with a separate 1000-route cap on PIM Stub Multicast. BGP and full EIGRP require a different network tier. C9300-24S-E carries 8 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash for system operation and image storage. A 16 MB packet buffer handles queued traffic, while the UADP 2.0 ASIC supplies the forwarding architecture. The 32000-entry IPv4 total includes ARP plus learned routes and remains distinct from individual protocol limits. Embedded WebUI and CLI provide local management; centralized management depends on the selected software entitlement. Three FAN-T2= fan modules cool the chassis, and an optional second PWR-C1-715WAC-P supports an order requiring dual internal power supplies.
Ordering
New sealed and certified refurbished C9300-24S-E units are available from ORM Systems; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for rated-speed port links and optics bay recognition, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default.

C9300-24S-E Use Case
Fiber Access Layer
C9300-24S-E operates at the fiber access layer where 24 fixed 1G SFP ports terminate optical links from downstream switches, remote cabinets, or fiber endpoint circuits. Engineers select the C9300 network module that matches upstream speed, then stage VLANs, routed interfaces, and monitoring through IOS XE. Network Essentials keeps the switch aligned to the approved base Cisco license tier. StackWise-480 groups compatible Catalyst 9300 members under one management plane when the access block expands. The deployment consolidates fiber access links into a managed Catalyst stack.
Access to Distribution Handoff
C9300-24S-E sits between fiber-fed access areas and the distribution layer when a site needs 1G SFP density with modular uplink selection. The 24 SFP ports handle optical access circuits, while the chosen uplink module defines the upstream handoff, such as 10G, 25G, or 40G. Network teams validate SFP optics, uplink optics, VLAN trunks, routing adjacencies, and StackWise membership before production use. The topology gains a clear optical handoff point with predictable port roles and Catalyst operational controls for daily operations.
Stacked Fiber Aggregation
C9300-24S-E supports stacked fiber aggregation where multiple Catalyst 9300 members operate with StackWise-480 and the same license level. Engineers combine SFP access links across stack members, reserve modular uplinks for distribution or core connections, and apply shared management through the stack control plane. The non-PoE fiber design keeps endpoint power planning separate from switching capacity and optic selection. Certified refurbished units receive SFP, uplink-module, fan, power, and boot validation before dispatch. The result is a scalable fiber aggregation block for enterprise refresh cycles.
Best For
Fiber Hardware Refresh
When replacing a discontinued WS-C3850-12S-S, use April 30, 2022 as the old hardware's end-of-sale milestone in the refresh plan. Inventory active optical links, spare transceivers and routing requirements before scheduling the cutover. Specify the replacement hardware and its software entitlement as separate procurement items.
Multi-Site License Allocation
When several sites share one purchasing organization, license ownership needs to be settled before hardware allocation. A Smart Account is mandatory for new orders and provides a central repository for entitlements. Confirm the account administrator, site allocation and selected management approach before releasing the purchase order.
Large-Frame Staging
When a spare is staged for a network carrying large frames, include the 9198-byte jumbo-frame limit in acceptance testing. Test the intended traffic profile rather than treating software entitlement and link establishment as the entire check. Specify the frame-size requirement and staging configuration before placing the purchase order.
Not Suitable If
PoE power for copper endpoints
C9300-24S-E has non-PoE SFP access ports and cannot power copper endpoints. C9300-24P-E provides 24 copper PoE+ access ports instead, changing the access connection from SFP to RJ-45.
BGP or full EIGRP routing
C9300-24S-E includes Network Essentials, which excludes BGP and full EIGRP. C9300-24S-A carries Network Advantage on the same 24-port fiber configuration for buyers requiring those routing features.
Native 10G fiber access ports
C9300-24S-E limits fixed access ports to 1G. C9300X-24Y-E supplies 24 SFP28 access ports supporting 25G, 10G and 1G; the alternative changes the native downlink speed class.

Questions & Answers
What does each part of C9300-24S-E mean?
C9300-24S-E identifies a Catalyst 9300 switch with 24 1G SFP access ports, modular uplinks and Network Essentials. C9300 denotes the series, 24 is the access-port count, S identifies the SFP port configuration and E identifies Network Essentials. The PID contains no fixed-uplink speed code.
How is C9300-24S-E managed?
C9300-24S-E is managed through the embedded WebUI and CLI, including local console and SSH access. Cisco Catalyst Center provides centralized management with the appropriate subscription. Meraki dashboard supports monitoring and IOS XE cloud-management modes with suitable licensing and software; cloud versus device configuration determines whether configurations remain local.
Which licensing paths are available for C9300-24S-E?
C9300-24S-E includes perpetual Network Essentials. Cisco DNA Essentials or Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco Catalyst Essentials or Cisco Catalyst Advantage subscriptions start at three years. Cisco Networking Subscription offers Cisco Switching Essentials or Cisco Switching Advantage, with a 36-month minimum. New orders require compatible subscription selection and a Smart Account.
What happens when a Cisco DNA subscription expires on C9300-24S-E?
C9300-24S-E can continue operating with its perpetual Network Essentials capabilities after a Cisco DNA subscription expires. The subscription can be renewed to retain its additional features, or the expired add-on can be deactivated and the switch reloaded. Subscription expiration does not expire the perpetual network license.
Is the Catalyst 9300 series discontinued?
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300. C9300-24S-E belongs to that hardware series. End-of-sale announcements for individual software releases or subscription products do not discontinue the switch chassis. Treat hardware lifecycle status separately from the software release and entitlement selected for an order.
Which older switches does C9300-24S-E replace?
C9300-24S-E uses the C9300-24S hardware that replaces discontinued C1-WS3850-12S/K9, C1-WS3850-24S/K9, C3850-12S-E++, C3850-12S-S++, C3850-24S-E++, C3850-24S-S++, C3850-24XS-S++, WS-C3850-12S-E, WS-C3850-12S-S, WS-C3850-24S-E, WS-C3850-24S-S and WS-C3850-24XS-S. Those models reached end of sale on April 30, 2022. Match the replacement license to required routing features; Network Essentials does not guarantee identical software capabilities.
What conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for C9300-24S-E?
ORM Systems offers C9300-24S-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on either condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty covers the original owner, subject to a five-year discontinuance limit.
Which uplink modules can C9300-24S-E use?
C9300-24S-E supports C9300-NM-4G for four 1G ports, C9300-NM-8X for eight 1G/10G ports, C9300-NM-2Y for two 1G/10G/25G ports and C9300-NM-2Q for two 40G ports. C9300-NM-4M adds four Multigigabit ports. The base switch excludes the network module, so specify the required module and compatible transceivers on the purchase order.
How many C9300-24S-E switches can be stacked?
StackWise-480 stacks eight C9300-24S-E members with 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth. Members must use the same network license level. STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M and STACK-T1-3M provide the supported cable lengths. Catalyst 9300L, Catalyst 9300LM and higher-scale Catalyst 9300 models cannot join this switch's stack.
Can C9300-24S-E perform Layer 3 routing?
Yes, C9300-24S-E supports Layer 3 routed access under Network Essentials, including RIP, EIGRP Stub and OSPF with a 1000-route limit. PBR, VRRP and PIM Stub Multicast are included, with PIM Stub Multicast limited to 1000 routes. The 32000-entry IPv4 hardware total includes ARP and learned routes; protocol license limits remain separate.
Does C9300-24S-E include redundant power supplies?
C9300-24S-E includes one PWR-C1-715WAC-P and supports an optional second PWR-C1-715WAC-P. The default PWR-C1-715WAC-P accepts 100-240V AC. The second internal bay is not populated in the base configuration. An order requiring dual internal power supplies must therefore include another PWR-C1-715WAC-P rather than assuming redundancy ships as standard.
What is the difference between C9300-24S-E and C9300-24P-E?
C9300-24P-E provides PoE+ on 24 copper access ports, while C9300-24S-E provides 24 non-PoE 1G SFP access ports. Both carry Network Essentials and modular uplinks. The PoE+ model suits buyers powering copper-connected endpoints; the SFP model suits purchases centered on Gigabit fiber links.
What is the difference between C9300-24S-E and C9300-24S-A?
C9300-24S-A includes Network Advantage, while C9300-24S-E includes Network Essentials on the same 24-port 1G SFP configuration. Network Advantage adds BGP, full EIGRP and other advanced routing capabilities. Choose the Essentials variant for routed-access features within its limits; the Advantage variant suits orders requiring those additional routing features.
What is the difference between C9300-24S-E and C9300-48S-E?
C9300-48S-E has 48 1G SFP access ports, compared with 24 on C9300-24S-E. Both use modular uplinks and Network Essentials. The 48-port model suits a purchase requiring more fiber connections in one chassis; the 24-port model suits an order whose access-port requirement fits the smaller count.
Is the Catalyst 9300 fiber switch rack-mountable?
Yes, C9300-24S-E is a 1U rack-mount switch measuring 43 mm high, 444 mm wide and 488 mm deep with PWR-C1-715WAC-P installed. The unit weighs 7.64 kg. Allow space for rear power and stacking connections when checking rack fit and specifying the installation.
