C9300-48H-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 managed Layer 3 access switch for high-power copper edge deployments. The chassis provides 48 fixed 1GbE RJ-45 ports and an empty modular uplink bay, so SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP, or multigigabit RJ-45 uplinks are selected through a separately ordered Catalyst 9300 network module. The base unit does not include fixed fiber uplinks, which keeps upstream media choice tied to the network module order. Cisco UPOE+ power supports PoE++ endpoint classes across the access edge, and the default 1100W AC supply defines the base power configuration. The 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Catalyst 9300 series rather than the fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L line. C9300-48H-A is the closest software sibling: it uses the same 48-port UPOE+ hardware profile but differs by the Network Advantage software image instead of Network Essentials.
256 Gbps switching capacity delivers nonblocking IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding for the fixed Gigabit Ethernet access ports and selected modular uplink. 190.48 Mpps forwarding rate supports campus access traffic at 64-byte packet sizes, while 736 Gbps stacked switching capacity applies when the switch operates in a StackWise-480 design. 822W PoE budget allocates power from the installed AC supply across attached endpoint loads. Static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, and OSPF support small routed-access designs under Network Essentials. C9300-48H-E carries 8 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash, and a 16 MB packet buffer for IOS XE operation and switch services. The MAC table scales to 32,000 entries, with 32,000 IPv4 routes, 16,000 IPv6 routing entries, 4094 VLAN IDs, and 1000 switched virtual interfaces. Management uses manual CLI or WebUI workflows alongside standard Catalyst monitoring through SNMP, syslog, RADIUS, TACACS+, LACP, and STP/RSTP/MSTP. EtherChannel designs keep uplink aggregation aligned with the selected network module.
At the enterprise access tier, the switch connects powered wireless access points, IP phones, cameras, thin clients, and workstations before uplinking toward distribution. StackWise-480 brings multiple Catalyst 9300 members into one management and control plane, and the chassis occupies 1U in standard rack layouts. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished for campus refresh, spare pool, and expansion projects. Refurbished units receive access-port, PoE delivery, fan, power-supply, stack-port, and uplink-module-recognition checks before dispatch. Submit an ORM Systems quote request for C9300-48H-E with the required uplink module, optics, StackWise cables, secondary power supply, and warranty term. Quote configuration also defines power cords, rack hardware, delivery staging, and matched accessory kits for repeatable rollout. Volume quotes group identical software images, power supply choices, and uplink media so installers receive predictable closet bills of materials. Enterprise and volume buyers get consistent switch bundles for staged closet refreshes, spare-unit planning, and multi-site access-layer standardisation.

C9300-48H-E sits at the campus access layer and terminates copper runs from wireless access points, phones, cameras, thin clients, and workstations on 48 1G UPOE+ ports. Engineers assign VLANs, QoS markings, authentication policy, and PoE budgets at the closet before traffic leaves through the selected Catalyst 9300 uplink module. The Network Essentials image supports the base switching and routed access services used in this position. The access layer gains dense powered endpoint handoff with consistent policy enforcement and controlled power allocation.
The switch aggregates 48 powered copper endpoints and hands northbound traffic to distribution through a separately selected modular uplink. Engineers match C9300-48H-E with 10G, 25G, 40G, or multigigabit Catalyst 9300 uplink modules according to fiber plant, optics standards, and upstream switch capacity. Trunks, routed links, or EtherChannel carry VLAN and subnet boundaries toward the distribution pair. In stacked closets, uplinks terminate across separate members for path diversity. The design keeps endpoint cabling stable while aligning uplink bandwidth and resiliency with the campus distribution architecture.
Several C9300-48H-E switches form a StackWise-480 access block when a wiring closet needs more than 48 high-power copper ports under one control plane. Each member contributes 48 1G UPOE+ access ports, while StackWise cables connect the rear stack ports and present the group as a single managed switch. Engineers standardize Network Essentials licensing, uplink placement, software versions, and power supply planning across members. Optional secondary power supplies and StackPower planning protect high-demand endpoint groups. The closet gains higher endpoint density with simpler administration and predictable stack-level recovery behavior.

Cisco C9300-48H-E is a Catalyst 9300 managed access switch with 48 1G copper ports, Cisco UPOE+ power, modular uplink support, a default 1100W AC power supply, and the Network Essentials software tier. It is built for campus access deployments where high-density powered endpoints need policy, monitoring, and resilient switching under Cisco IOS XE.
C9300 identifies the Cisco Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switch family, 48H identifies the 48-port 1G copper UPOE+ hardware model, and E identifies the Network Essentials software tier. For purchasing, C9300-48H-E should be treated as the Network Essentials version of the 48-port UPOE+ Catalyst 9300, not as a fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L model.
C9300-48H-E is a stackable, managed Ethernet access switch. It provides copper endpoint access on 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, supports modular network uplinks, and runs Cisco IOS XE as part of the Catalyst 9000 switching portfolio. The switch belongs in enterprise wiring closets rather than as a small unmanaged desktop switch or a data-center leaf platform.
C9300-48H-E sits in the Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink access switch family. It offers more uplink flexibility and StackWise-480 stacking than fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L models, while Catalyst 9300X models address higher scale and newer high-speed variants. This SKU targets 48-port copper access designs that need 90W UPOE+ with Network Essentials licensing.
C9300-48H-E provides 48 copper access ports for 1G Ethernet endpoint connectivity. Cisco describes the C9300-48H hardware as a 48-port Cisco UPOE+ model with modular uplinks. The uplink ports are not fixed on the base switch, so buyers should select the appropriate Catalyst 9300 network module for 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, or multigigabit upstream connectivity.
C9300-48H-E follows the Cisco C9300-48H performance profile, with 256 Gbps switching capacity, 736 Gbps switching capacity with stacking, 190.48 Mpps forwarding rate, and 547.62 Mpps forwarding rate with stacking. Cisco lists these Catalyst 9300 models as wire-speed and nonblocking for both IPv4 and IPv6 when measured under the stated forwarding conditions.
C9300-48H-E supplies Cisco UPOE+ across the 48-port 1G copper access model, with Cisco positioning UPOE+ for up to 90W powered endpoints. The switch ships with a default 1100W AC power supply, and power planning should account for endpoint draw, redundant power supply choices, StackPower design, and the number of high-power devices attached at the same time.
C9300-48H-E runs Cisco IOS XE with the Network Essentials tier, which is commonly used for base Layer 2 and routed access functions on Catalyst 9300 switches. Cisco lists Catalyst 9300 switches with switching, routing, VLAN, SVI, QoS, ACL, and campus access capabilities. Designs requiring advanced segmentation or richer automation should confirm feature entitlements before ordering.
C9300-48H-E is managed as a Cisco Catalyst IOS XE switch through standard enterprise network operations methods. Teams typically use CLI, SNMP, syslog, software image management, and Cisco Catalyst Center or Cisco DNA Center workflows, depending on the environment. The SKU fits managed access networks where configuration control, monitoring, authentication policy, and lifecycle operations are handled centrally.
C9300-48H-E supports Cisco StackWise-480 as a Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink SKU. Cisco lists C9300 stack support at 480 Gbps, up to 8 members, and up to 448 access ports under one management and control plane. StackWise cables are selected separately in 50cm, 1m, or 3m lengths for the physical stack design.
C9300-48H-E is used as a high-power campus access switch for endpoints such as wireless access points, phones, cameras, thin clients, badge readers, and other copper devices. Its 48 1G UPOE+ ports concentrate powered endpoint access in a wiring closet, while the modular uplink slot lets the switch hand traffic northbound using the selected Cisco Catalyst 9300 network module.
C9300-48H-E suits medium to large access closets where 48 copper ports and high PoE budgets are needed in each rack unit. It is especially relevant when multiple powered endpoints require more than standard PoE+ power. StackWise-480 support also makes the SKU suitable for repeated closet builds that need shared management across several Catalyst 9300 switches.
C9300-48H-E fits endpoint-heavy access workloads that combine data connectivity, power delivery, VLAN segmentation, authentication, QoS, and uplink aggregation. Examples include dense Wi-Fi access point rollouts, powered camera networks, voice access, and general workstation access where the access layer needs 48 1G copper ports plus higher per-port UPOE+ headroom than PoE+ models provide.
C9300-48H-E works in Catalyst 9300 stacked access deployments using StackWise-480 and compatible StackWise cables. A stack gives the access closet one management plane and control plane across multiple members, while each switch contributes 48 copper UPOE+ ports. Network teams should keep license level, stack member compatibility, uplink layout, and power design aligned before installation.
C9300-48H-E uses Catalyst 9300 modular uplinks rather than fixed uplinks. Cisco positions Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink models with 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, and multigigabit uplink options. Common planning discussions include modules such as C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Y, and C9300-NM-4M, with the exact module matched to the distribution layer and optics plan.
C9300-48H-E stacks with compatible Cisco Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink SKUs at the same license level, such as C9300-48P-E, C9300-48U-E, and C9300-24H-E, subject to Cisco stacking rules. Cisco also notes mixed stacking between Catalyst 9300 and Catalyst 9300X at StackWise-480 speeds. Fixed-uplink C9300L models do not stack with modular-uplink C9300 switches.
C9300-48H-E integrates with Cisco IOS XE operations and Catalyst management ecosystems, including Cisco Catalyst Center or Cisco DNA Center where deployed. Network teams also use protocols and tools such as SNMP, syslog, SSH CLI, RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication, 802.1X access control, VLAN trunks, EtherChannel, and LACP as part of standard campus access designs.
C9300-48H-E supports powered endpoint designs that use Cisco UPOE+ and standards-based PoE negotiation across copper Ethernet. It is commonly paired with Cisco access points, IP phones, surveillance cameras, thin clients, and other powered devices that fit the port speed and power budget. Endpoint compatibility should be checked against required wattage, cabling quality, and switch software release.
C9300-48H-E and C9300-48H-A use the same 48-port 1G copper UPOE+ hardware profile with modular uplinks and a default 1100W AC power supply. The main difference is software tier: C9300-48H-E is Network Essentials, while C9300-48H-A is Network Advantage. Buyers choose C9300-48H-A when the design requires Advantage-level feature entitlements.
C9300-48H-E doubles the access-port count compared with C9300-24H-E while keeping the same Catalyst 9300 H-series UPOE+ role and Network Essentials tier. C9300-24H-E fits lower-density closets or smaller powered endpoint zones. C9300-48H-E is the better match when a single rack unit needs 48 1G UPOE+ copper ports before stacking is considered.
C9300-48H-E is the UPOE+ model, while C9300-48U-E is the UPOE model in the same 48-port 1G copper Network Essentials family. Cisco positions UPOE+ for higher 90W powered endpoint density, while UPOE addresses lower high-power requirements. Buyers select C9300-48H-E when endpoints need the H-series UPOE+ power class rather than the U-series UPOE profile.
C9300-48H-E provides 48 Cisco UPOE+ ports and ships with a default 1100W AC power supply, while C9300-48P-E provides 48 PoE+ ports and is listed with a 715W AC default power supply. C9300-48P-E fits standard PoE+ endpoint access. C9300-48H-E fits high-power access designs that need more per-port power headroom.
C9300-48H-E is commonly sourced through enterprise hardware channels in new, refurbished, or surplus condition, depending on market supply at quote time. ORM Systems should list the available condition clearly on the product quote. Buyers comparing options should confirm cosmetic grade, included power supplies, fans, uplink module status, stacking accessories, warranty length, and software entitlement before purchase.
C9300-48H-E price should be requested as a formal quote because condition, quantity, lead time, power supply configuration, uplink module selection, and warranty term affect the final cost. The base switch price is only part of the budget. Buyers should also price optics, network modules, StackWise cables, Smart Account licensing needs, and any required spares.
C9300-48H-E appears in Cisco Catalyst 9300 ordering information as the 48-port 1G copper UPOE+ Network Essentials model. Lifecycle status should still be checked during quotation because Cisco end-of-sale notices and regional availability change over time. Procurement teams should ask ORM Systems to confirm supply source, condition, lead time, and replacement options before raising a purchase order.
C9300-48H-E lead time depends on requested condition, quantity, warehouse location, testing queue, and whether the order includes uplink modules, optics, StackWise cables, or extra power supplies. Refurbished stock may ship faster when already tested and configured. Larger orders should be quoted with staged delivery dates so deployment teams can plan rack, cabling, and change windows.
Bulk pricing is relevant for C9300-48H-E because access-layer refresh projects often require several identical 48-port switches. ORM Systems can price quantity breaks when buyers provide target quantities, condition preference, required warranty, destination, and accessory list. A bulk quote should include the switch units, network modules, optics, stacking cables, power supplies, and any spare components needed for rollout consistency.
C9300-48H-E warranty terms should be confirmed on the ORM Systems quote, with options commonly positioned up to a 3-year warranty depending on condition and availability. Buyers should check whether coverage includes the chassis, power supplies, fans, and supplied accessories. Warranty scope matters more when the order includes refurbished hardware or mixed accessory bundles.
Refurbished C9300-48H-E units should be tested for boot health, port status, PoE delivery, fan and power supply operation, stack port behavior, uplink module recognition, and basic IOS XE readiness before dispatch. Buyers should request confirmation of the testing process, serial-number records, included accessories, and warranty coverage so the switch arrives ready for staging and deployment.
C9300-48H-E compliance checks should follow Cisco Catalyst 9300 regulatory, safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental declarations for the destination region. Exact certificate needs vary by country, procurement policy, and deployment environment. Buyers with formal compliance requirements should request Cisco documentation references, serial-numbered unit details, power supply information, and refurbishing records during the quotation process.
C9300-48H-E is typically staged by installing the chosen network module, connecting console or management access, loading the required IOS XE release, applying the base configuration, and validating port, PoE, uplink, and stack behavior. Network teams then configure VLANs, trunks, SVIs, authentication, QoS, monitoring, and management integration according to the campus access design.
C9300-48H-E includes the Network Essentials tier in the SKU identity, but software entitlement, Smart Account association, support coverage, and Cisco DNA subscription requirements should be checked against the target deployment. Advanced feature needs may require a different license tier such as Network Advantage. Buyers should confirm licensing before ordering when routing, automation, or segmentation requirements are fixed.
C9300-48H-E accessory planning should include the selected Catalyst 9300 network module, compatible optics or DACs, StackWise cables for stacked closets, rack-mount hardware, power cords, optional secondary power supplies, and any spare fans or power components required by operations. A complete quote reduces deployment delays because the base switch does not define the uplink module by itself.
C9300-48H-E can be purchased in the UK through ORM Systems as an enterprise Cisco hardware reseller. Buyers should request a quote with the required condition, quantity, warranty term, delivery address, and accessory list. For access-layer projects, the quote should specify whether uplink modules, optics, StackWise cables, power cords, and secondary power supplies are included.
ORM Systems can support international C9300-48H-E enquiries, with shipping details confirmed during quotation based on destination, stock location, order value, customs requirements, and courier options. International buyers should provide the delivery country, required Incoterms if applicable, preferred condition, and full accessory list so freight, documentation, taxes, and lead time are quoted accurately.
