PoE+ Access for Campus Wiring Closets
C9300-48P-E is a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 48 1G copper PoE+ ports, a modular uplink bay, and Network Essentials licensing in the Catalyst 9300 family. The base unit ships without an uplink module, so fiber or higher-speed distribution connectivity is added with a supported C9300 network module rather than assumed in the chassis. The rack-mount platform fits campus and branch wiring closets that standardize on Cisco IOS XE access switching and need powered ports for phones, cameras, and access points. Cisco C9300-48P-E is the full PID form; the same configuration is often searched as a Catalyst 9300 48-port PoE+ access switch with modular uplinks. C9300-48U-E keeps the 48-port 1G modular-uplink design but changes the power class to Cisco UPOE.
C9300-48P-E price for new stock is $2,934.75, a 74% saving from the Cisco list price of $11,304.00. C9300-48P-E refurb price is $1,340.85. C9300-48P-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details
256 Gbps switching capacity and 190.47 Mpps forwarding performance support the standalone access role, while 736 Gbps stacked switching capacity applies when the switch joins a StackWise-480 stack. 437W of PoE budget is available with the default PWR-C1-715WAC-P supply, and a second supply changes the shared endpoint power pool. C9300-48P-E supports Static, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub, OSPF up to 1000 routes, PBR, VRRP, and PIM Stub Multicast up to 1000 routes under Network Essentials. The 8 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash image store run Cisco IOS XE, with 32000 MAC addresses, 32000 IPv4 routes, 4094 VLAN IDs, 1000 SVIs, and a 16-MB packet buffer on 48-port Gigabit Ethernet models. BGP, IS-IS, HSRP, advanced segmentation, and full-scale OSPF require Network Advantage rather than the included tier.
Ordering
Order C9300-48P-E new sealed or certified refurbished, and add the required uplink module, power cord, and any STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M, or STACK-T1-3M cable to the same purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested; managed units are firmware verified and wiped to factory default, with power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, PoE output verified under load, optics bay recognition, module bay recognition, StackWise-480 port negotiation, PSU status, and fan status checked. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock or RMA coverage is available across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

C9300-48P-E Use Case
Enterprise Campus PoE+ Access
Deploy C9300-48P-E in enterprise campus wiring closets that need resilient PoE+ access for phones, access points, cameras, badge readers, and desktop endpoints. The 48 Gigabit copper ports simplify edge connectivity, while modular uplink options let the closet connect upstream over 1G, 10G, 25G, or 40G fiber as aggregation designs evolve. StackWise-480 helps several access switches operate as one logical system, reducing management overhead and improving resiliency for floors, buildings, and high-density user areas that rely on consistent Catalyst operations every day.
Branch Office Catalyst Standardization
Use the Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P-E for branch offices that need enterprise-class switching without abandoning the same IOS XE and Catalyst Center practices used at headquarters. PoE+ support covers voice, wireless, and security endpoints, while the Network Essentials image supports VLANs, ACLs, QoS, routed access, telemetry, and automation workflows. Optional redundant power and field-replaceable fans make the platform practical for remote sites where service windows are limited and IT teams need reliable hardware that can be staged consistently before shipment to site.
Phased Modular Uplink Growth
Choose C9300-48P-E for organizations standardizing access-layer procurement across multiple buildings or regions. The switch provides a known 48-port PoE+ profile, a clear Network Essentials license, and modular uplinks that can be matched to existing distribution switches instead of forcing one fixed uplink design. This makes it useful for phased upgrades, spare inventory planning, and lifecycle replacement programs where network teams want one repeatable Catalyst access platform with enough performance, memory, and stacking bandwidth for long-term operational consistency at scale globally.
Best For
Platform Refresh
A campus closet still built around WS-C3850-48P-L, WS-C3850-48F-L, or WS-C3850R-48P-L reaches a like-for-like refresh path with 48 PoE+ access ports and Network Essentials. Specify matching C9300 network modules and StackWise-480 cables before the PO if uplinks or stack expansion are part of the cutover.
Endpoint Power Sizing
A wiring closet feeding phones, cameras, and access points needs the 437W default PoE budget sized against endpoint draw rather than port count. If all 48 ports must reserve 30W, add the secondary power supply choice that brings the budget to 1440W.
Stack Extension
An existing C9300 modular-uplink stack can add another same-license member when eight members have not been reached. Confirm StackWise-480 cabling length, exclude C9300L fixed-uplink units from the stack plan, and order any needed STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M, or STACK-T1-3M cable.
Not Suitable If
UPOE access endpoints
C9300-48P-E is PoE+; choose C9300-48U-E for 48 1G Cisco UPOE ports, or C9300-48H-E for Cisco UPOE+ power class.
Advanced routing protocols
Network Essentials excludes BGP, IS-IS, HSRP, full EIGRP, advanced segmentation, and full-scale OSPF. Choose C9300-48P-A when the same PoE+ hardware needs Network Advantage.
Installed fixed uplinks
C9300-48P-E ships with an empty modular uplink bay and no built-in SFP/SFP+ uplinks. Choose C9300L-48P-4X-E for fixed 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks.
100G uplink modules
C9300 network modules top out at C9300-NM-2Q for 40GE QSFP. Choose a C9300X model using C9300X-NM-2C or C9300X-NM-4C for 100G uplinks.

C9300-48P-E is the named replacement for WS-C3850-48F-L, WS-C3850-48P-L, and WS-C3850R-48P-L. Those older Catalyst 3850 hardware models reached end of sale on October 30, 2020, with last support on October 31, 2025.
How many PoE ports and how much PoE budget does C9300-48P-E have?
C9300-48P-E has 48 1G PoE+ access ports and a 437W PoE budget with the default PWR-C1-715WAC-P supply. Adding a second PWR-C1-715WAC-P raises available PoE to 1152W, while an 1100W secondary can reach the 1440W port-rating limit.
Which uplink modules work with the Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switch?
The Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switch supports C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, and C9300-NM-2Y. The switch ships without a network module installed, so the uplink module and optics need to be matched to the distribution design.
Can C9300-48P-E stack with other Catalyst 9300 switches?
C9300-48P-E can join a StackWise-480 stack with up to eight C9300 modular-uplink members at the same license level. C9300X and C9300 mixed stacks run at StackWise-480 speeds, while C9300L fixed-uplink models and higher-scale C9300-48UB stacks are excluded.
What is the difference between C9300-48P-E and C9300-48P-A?
C9300-48P-A carries Network Advantage where C9300-48P-E carries Network Essentials. Both are 48-port 1G copper PoE+ modular-uplink models, but the Advantage PID suits buyers needing BGP, IS-IS, HSRP, full EIGRP, advanced segmentation, or full-scale OSPF.
What is the difference between C9300-48P-E and C9300-48U-E?
C9300-48U-E provides 48 1G Cisco UPOE ports where C9300-48P-E provides 48 1G PoE+ ports. Buyers powering higher-draw UPOE endpoints should use the UPOE model, while standard PoE+ endpoint closets fit the PoE+ model.
What is the difference between C9300-48P-E and C9300-24P-E?
C9300-48P-E provides 48 PoE+ access ports where C9300-24P-E provides 24 PoE+ access ports. The 48-port model suits denser closets that need more powered copper drops, while the 24-port model suits smaller access blocks with the same license tier.
