Enterprise Access for Data-Only Wiring Closets
C9300-48T-E is a managed Layer 3 Catalyst 9300 access switch for 48 wired endpoints that need 1G copper data connectivity without switch-supplied PoE. The 1U chassis uses a modular uplink bay, and the base configuration leaves that bay empty for a separate C9300 network module selected around the distribution handoff. This Catalyst 9300 model runs Network Essentials in an enterprise stackable access role, with Cisco IOS XE management for campus wiring closets and routed access edges. The 48-port Gigabit data switch fits 19-inch racks and suits workstation, printer, lab, and infrastructure connections that already have local power. C9300-48P-E is the closest sibling when the same 48-port 1G access block must also deliver PoE+ to endpoints.
C9300-48T-E price for new stock is $1,989.75, a 78.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $9,391.00. C9300-48T-E refurb price is $682.50. C9300-48T-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details
256 Gbps switching capacity and 190.47 Mpps forwarding support line-rate IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding on the 48-port Gigabit data switch. Network Essentials routing covers static, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, OSPF up to 1000 routes, EIGRP Stub, PBR, VRRP, and PIM Stub Multicast up to 1000 routes; BGP, full EIGRP, IS-IS, VXLAN, LISP, and VRF sit in Network Advantage rather than this tier. C9300-48T-E carries 8 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash, a 32000-entry MAC table, and a 32000-route IPv4 scale. Management runs on Cisco IOS XE through WebUI or CLI console access. StackWise-480 stacks eight C9300 members at 480 Gbps when license levels match, while the base chassis draws a 102.3W maximum in standalone testing without an uplink module.

C9300-48T-E Use Case
Access Closet Endpoint Handoff
C9300-48T-E sits in an access closet and terminates 48 copper 10/100/1000 endpoint links from workstations, printers, controllers, and other locally powered devices. Engineers assign VLANs, trunks, ACLs, QoS policies, and routed access interfaces under the Network Essentials software tier, then reserve the modular uplink bay for the selected distribution handoff. The data-only port set keeps powered-device demand on separate PoE access switches. The network gains a dense 1G access edge with consistent Catalyst operations and no unnecessary PoE power budget.
Access to Distribution Handoff
The switch occupies the campus access layer and forwards aggregated endpoint traffic northbound through a separately selected Catalyst 9300 network module. Engineers match C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Y, or another supported module to the distribution switch ports, optics, fiber plant, and oversubscription target. Operations teams document the module choice as a closet standard before rollout. C9300-48T-E keeps fixed 48-port copper access capacity independent from uplink media planning. The network gains a cleaner refresh path when endpoint cabling stays in place while uplink speed or fiber design changes.
Stacked Access Block Operations
Several compatible Catalyst 9300 Network Essentials switches form a StackWise-480 access block when one wiring closet needs more than 48 data-only copper ports under one control plane. C9300-48T-E contributes 48 1G access ports per member, while StackWise cables combine management, control, and uplink planning across the stack. Engineers standardize IOS XE releases, switch priorities, VLAN templates, cross-stack EtherChannel links, and replacement procedures before adding members. The network gains higher port density with simpler switch administration and controlled closet expansion.
Best For
3850 Refresh
A refresh from WS-C3850-48T-L or WS-C3850R-48T-L keeps the 48-port data-access role while moving to a Catalyst 9300 Network Essentials platform. Match the replacement to existing non-PoE drops, then specify the needed C9300 network module before the PO is released.
Module-Based Uplinks
A closet with changing distribution speeds can use the empty uplink bay to standardize the access switch while varying the uplink module by site. Select C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Y, C9300-NM-2Q, or C9300-NM-4M with matching optics or cabling on the same order.
Stack Expansion
An existing C9300 modular-uplink stack can add another 48 data ports when the stack remains within eight members and the license level matches. Include the required STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M, or STACK-T1-3M cable length and verify that no fixed-uplink C9300L members are in the stack.
Not Suitable If
PoE endpoint power
C9300-48T-E is data only with no PoE budget. Use C9300-48P-E when 48 1G access ports must deliver PoE+ power.
Fixed uplinks included
C9300-48T-E ships with an empty modular uplink bay. Use C9300L-48T-4X-E when fixed 4x10G SFP+ uplinks are required instead.
Advanced routing features
Network Essentials excludes BGP, full EIGRP, IS-IS, VRF, VXLAN, and LISP. Use C9300-48T-A when Network Advantage features are required.
100G uplinks
C9300 modular uplinks top out at 40G with C9300-NM-2Q. Use C9300X-48TX-E when 100G modular uplink options are required.

C9300-48T-E with Network Essentials supports static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, OSPF, EIGRP Stub, PBR, VRRP, and PIM Stub Multicast within the Essentials feature set. OSPF is limited to 1000 routes, and advanced features such as BGP, full EIGRP, and IS-IS require Network Advantage.
Does C9300-48T-E have redundant power supplies?
C9300-48T-E ships with PWR-C1-350WAC-P as the default AC power supply and has a second internal power-supply bay. A second supply is optional rather than standard, and the non-PoE hardware can also use documented 715W and 1100W upgrade options.
What is the difference between C9300-48T-E and C9300-48P-E?
C9300-48P-E adds 48 1G PoE+ access ports where C9300-48T-E is a 48-port 1G data-only switch. Choose C9300-48P-E when endpoint power belongs on the access switch; choose C9300-48T-E when every attached device has separate power.
What is the difference between C9300-48T-E and C9300-48T-A?
C9300-48T-A carries Network Advantage where C9300-48T-E carries Network Essentials. Choose C9300-48T-A for advanced routing, segmentation, multicast scale, and automation features; choose C9300-48T-E for the same 48-port data hardware when Essentials routing is enough.
What is the difference between C9300-48T-E and C9300-24T-E?
C9300-48T-E provides 48 1G copper data ports where C9300-24T-E provides 24 1G copper data ports. Choose C9300-48T-E for higher port density in the wiring closet; choose C9300-24T-E when a smaller access block fits the rack.
