Stackable 1G Access for Wiring Closets

C9300-24T-E is a managed Layer 3, 24-port 1G copper data switch with a modular uplink bay and no PoE output. The Cisco Catalyst 9300 24-port 1G copper switch fits enterprise access closets that need routed access, StackWise stacking and a selectable uplink module rather than fixed fiber ports. As shipped, the rack-mount 1U chassis provides the access ports and Network Essentials license; uplink capacity depends on the separately ordered module. The Catalyst 9300 Series supports copper and fiber mixes in a stack for 2-tier, 3-tier and hybrid access designs. C9300-24P-E is the closest powered sibling, adding 24 PoE+ ports where this 24-port Gigabit data switch with modular uplinks stays data only.

C9300-24T-E price for new stock is $3,142.65, a 43.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $5,592.00. C9300-24T-E refurb price is $854.09. C9300-24T-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Order the uplink module

The base chassis ships without an uplink module; add C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q or C9300-NM-2Y to the order and include required optics separately.

Match stack cables

StackWise-480 stacks 8 C9300 members at the same license level; use STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M or STACK-T1-3M cables and do not mix fixed-uplink C9300L members.

Subscription term required

Network Essentials is perpetual on the hardware, but a Cisco Catalyst Essentials or Cisco DNA Essentials subscription is mandatory at configuration time; 24-port copper terms start at 3 years.

3850 service ended

WS-C3850-24T-L and WS-C3850R-24T-L name this switch as the Network Essentials replacement; Cisco service for the Catalyst 3850 hardware ended October 31, 2025.

C9300-24T-E Use Case

Access Layer Endpoint Handoff

C9300-24T-E sits in an access closet where 24 Gigabit RJ-45 endpoint links terminate on a managed Layer 3 switch. The switch carries desktop, printer, controller, and locally powered device traffic into VLANs, applies access policies, and sends northbound traffic through a separately ordered uplink module. Network teams operate the switch through IOS XE tooling and keep the Non-PoE role clear for data-only ports. The result is predictable copper endpoint access with cleaner policy enforcement and troubleshooting at the closet edge.

Distribution Uplink Handoff

With a compatible Catalyst 9300 network module installed, C9300-24T-E hands access traffic toward distribution or core switches over the selected uplink speed and media. The base switch preserves 24 copper downlinks while the modular bay supports 1G SFP, 10G/1G SFP+, 25G/10G/1G SFP28, 40G QSFP, or multigigabit designs. Engineers map VLAN trunks, routed links, EtherChannel, and monitoring policies to the uplink plan, creating a controlled aggregation path for copper access traffic without replacing the access switch at each rack location during refresh work.

Stack-Based Access Refresh

Several same-license Catalyst 9300 switches form a StackWise-480 access pod when a rack needs more copper ports under one management and control plane. C9300-24T-E contributes 24 data ports, Network Essentials licensing, and a 1U footprint to the stack while separate stack cables provide the back-panel connection. Operations teams standardize IOS XE images, VLAN templates, authentication policy, and uplink modules across the members, reducing switch-by-switch administration for refresh work, spare-unit planning, and access closet consistency while delivering a single managed access domain.

Best For

3850 Refresh

A Catalyst 3850 LAN Base refresh starts with the older SKU list: WS-C3850-24T-L and WS-C3850R-24T-L map to this Network Essentials replacement, while Catalyst 3850 support ended October 31, 2025. Confirm stack power, uplink module and subscription terms before the PO.

Stack Extension

A campus stack expansion can add a same-license C9300 member when the stack design stays on StackWise-480. The stack supports 8 members and uses STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M or STACK-T1-3M cables, so specify cable length and license alignment with the switch.

Uplink Sizing

A distribution handoff change should be sized before ordering because the base chassis ships with an empty uplink bay. Choose C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, C9300-NM-2Y or C9300-NM-4M, then add the required optics separately.

Not Suitable If

PoE endpoint power

24 1G copper ports are data only, so powered phones or access points need an injector or a PoE switch; C9300-24P-E adds 24 PoE+ ports.

Built-in 10G uplinks

The base chassis has an empty uplink bay and ships without fixed SFP+ ports; C9300L-24T-4X-E provides 24 1G copper ports with four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks.

Network Advantage features

Network Essentials excludes BGP, full EIGRP, HSRP and IS-IS; C9300-24T-A carries Network Advantage on the same 24-port data-only modular-uplink chassis.

Multigigabit access ports

Fixed downlinks are 1G copper only; C9300-24UX-E changes the access side to 24 10G/mGig copper ports with UPOE.

Questions & Answers

What does the C9300-24T-E part number mean?

C9300-24T-E identifies a Catalyst 9300 switch with 24 1G copper data-only ports, modular uplinks and Network Essentials licensing. The 24T portion is the 24-port 1G copper data configuration, and the E suffix is the Network Essentials tier.

How is C9300-24T-E managed?

C9300-24T-E is managed through Cisco IOS XE with Catalyst Center, Meraki dashboard monitoring and management options, CLI and WebUI. A Meraki software license uses dashboard management, while the Network Essentials stack can continue operating with base license capabilities after an add-on subscription is deactivated and reloaded.

What is the lifecycle status of C9300-24T-E?

Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300. C9300-24T-E is not listed as an affected switch PID in the Catalyst 9300 end-of-sale listing checked for this platform, so no last date of support or replacement switch PID is published.

What condition and warranty does ORM offer for C9300-24T-E?

ORM offers C9300-24T-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty applying to eligible original-customer coverage. ORM offers new units with up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units with up to 1 year, and 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply.

Which licenses are required with C9300-24T-E?

C9300-24T-E includes the perpetual Network Essentials stack, and a Cisco Catalyst Essentials or Cisco DNA Essentials subscription is mandatory at configuration time. C9300-DNA-E-24-3Y and C9300-DNX-E-24-3Y are 3-year 24-port Essentials term options, with 5-year and 7-year terms also available.

Which older PID does C9300-24T-E replace?

C9300-24T-E is the named Network Essentials replacement for WS-C3850-24T-L and WS-C3850R-24T-L. Those Catalyst 3850 LAN Base 24-port data models had an end-of-sale date of October 30, 2020 and a last date of support of October 31, 2025.

Does C9300-24T-E have PoE?

C9300-24T-E does not have PoE because the ordering description is data only. The switch provides 24 1G copper access ports for non-powered endpoints, so phones, access points or cameras requiring switch power need a PoE model such as C9300-24P-E or external power.

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

C9300-24T-E uses Catalyst 9300 modular uplinks and ships without a module installed. Documented choices are C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q and C9300-NM-2Y, covering 1G SFP, Multigigabit, 10G SFP+, 40G QSFP+ and 25G/10G/1G SFP28 options.

How many switches can C9300-24T-E stack with?

C9300-24T-E stacks as a C9300 modular-uplink SKU using StackWise-480 with 8 members. Same-license C9300 members are supported, C9300X mixing runs at StackWise-480 speeds, and STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M or STACK-T1-3M cables are the documented data stack cable options.

What routing does C9300-24T-E support with Network Essentials?

C9300-24T-E supports routed access under Network Essentials, including Static, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, OSPF up to 1000 routes, EIGRP Stub, PBR, VRRP and PIM Stub Multicast up to 1000 routes. BGP, full EIGRP, HSRP and IS-IS require Network Advantage.

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

C9300-24P-E adds 24 PoE+ ports where C9300-24T-E provides 24 data-only 1G copper ports. Both are Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink Network Essentials models, so the data-only model fits non-powered endpoints and the PoE+ model fits access points, phones or cameras.

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

C9300-24T-A carries Network Advantage where C9300-24T-E carries Network Essentials. The hardware description stays 24-port 1G copper, data only, with modular uplinks, so Network Essentials suits routed access and Network Advantage suits BGP, full EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS and segmentation features.

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

C9300-48T-E doubles the access density to 48 1G copper data-only ports where C9300-24T-E provides 24. Both use modular uplinks and Network Essentials, so the 24-port model fits smaller closets while the 48-port model fits higher copper density.

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

C9300-24T-E supports an optional second power supply because the Catalyst 9300 chassis has dual redundant power-supply bays and ships with one supply by default. The default supply for this SKU is PWR-C1-350WAC-P, and a second supply should be specified separately if redundancy is required.
