C9300-48T-E Overview
C9300-48T-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series managed Layer 3 access switch for dense non-PoE copper edge deployments. It provides 48 fixed Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 data ports and an empty modular uplink bay, so uplinks are selected separately through Catalyst 9300 network modules such as C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, or C9300-NM-2Y. The switch uses a 1U rack-mount form factor, a 350W AC power supply, and the Network Essentials software image. Its fixed downlinks use twisted-pair media, while the module bay supports copper or fiber uplink designs without counting those ports as installed capacity. C9300-48P-E is the closest powered sibling; it keeps the same 48-port 1G modular-uplink profile but changes the access port class from data-only to PoE+. The empty bay matters for buyers comparing fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L models because the modular 48T chassis separates downlink density from uplink media choice.
256 Gbps switching capacity delivers headroom for forty-eight 1G access ports before traffic leaves through the selected uplink module. 190.47 Mpps forwarding rate supports campus access forwarding, while 736 Gbps stacked switching capacity and 547.62 Mpps stacked forwarding rate apply when the switch operates in a StackWise-480 stack. Non-PoE operation removes endpoint power budgeting from this SKU because the access ports do not deliver powered-device output. Default routing, static routing, and RIP define the documented Network Essentials routing scope for this platform. C9300-48T-E includes 8 GB memory, 16 GB flash, a 16 MB packet buffer for 48-port Gigabit Ethernet Catalyst 9300 models, 32000 MAC address scale, and management through Cisco IOS XE with SNMP and WebUI workflows. The platform also supports 1000 SVIs and 9198-byte jumbo frames, which helps segmented access designs carry routed VLAN interfaces and larger Ethernet frames. STP/RSTP/MSTP and LACP handle loop prevention and link aggregation at the access layer without changing the software tier.
C9300-48T-E fits enterprise access closets that connect workstations, printers, controllers, and other locally powered Ethernet endpoints to distribution switching. StackWise-480 lets multiple compatible Catalyst 9300 switches operate as one access stack, and the 1U chassis keeps each member aligned with standard rack layouts. For access closets that already use separate PoE switches, this model keeps data-only endpoints on a lower-power access layer while preserving Catalyst stack operations. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished, with refurbishment checks focused on boot status, RJ-45 port operation, fan health, power supply status, and stacking interfaces. Request pricing for the switch, required uplink module, StackWise cables, optics, power cords, and warranty term in one quote. ORM Systems aligns condition, warranty, and accessory details before dispatch. Enterprise and volume buyers receive BOM support for multi-closet rollouts, spares planning, and consistent accessory matching across repeated Catalyst 9300 deployments.
C9300-48T-E price is $1,309.00, a 86.1% saving from the Cisco list price of $9,391.00. C9300-48T-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

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.

Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco C9300-48T-E?
The Cisco C9300-48T-E is a Catalyst 9300 Series stackable access switch with 48 data-only 10/100/1000 copper ports, modular uplink support, and a Network Essentials perpetual license. It is designed for enterprise campus and branch access layers where wired endpoints need resilient switching, centralized management, and Catalyst 9000 software features without PoE delivery.
What does the C9300-48T-E model number mean?
C9300 identifies the Cisco Catalyst 9300 modular uplink switch family, 48T indicates 48 copper data-only Gigabit Ethernet access ports, and E indicates the Network Essentials license tier. The SKU separates this model from C9300-48T-A, which uses Network Advantage, and from C9300-48P-E, which adds PoE+ on the access ports.
Is C9300-48T-E a switch, router, or firewall?
C9300-48T-E is a managed enterprise Ethernet switch, not a standalone router or firewall appliance. It provides Layer 2 switching, routed access features under the Network Essentials license, VLAN segmentation, QoS, security controls, and stack management. It sits in the campus switching portfolio rather than the Cisco ISR router or ASA firewall product lines.
Where does C9300-48T-E sit in the Cisco Catalyst lineup?
C9300-48T-E sits in the Cisco Catalyst 9300 modular uplink family, above fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L access switches and below higher-scale Catalyst 9300X models. It targets dense 1G copper access deployments that need StackWise-480 stacking, modular uplink choices, field-replaceable power and fan components, and Network Essentials software for standard enterprise switching.
How many ports does C9300-48T-E provide?
C9300-48T-E provides 48 data-only copper access ports for 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connections. The ports are intended for non-powered endpoint links such as workstations, printers, downstream devices, and copper handoffs that do not require PoE. Uplink ports are not fixed on the base chassis because Catalyst 9300 modular uplink models use separately selected network modules.
What switching capacity and forwarding rate does C9300-48T-E support?
C9300-48T-E follows the Catalyst 9300 48T performance profile with 256 Gbps switching capacity and 190.47 Mpps forwarding rate in standalone operation. With stacking, Cisco lists 736 Gbps switching capacity and 547.62 Mpps forwarding rate for the C9300-48T model profile. These figures help size the switch for access-layer traffic aggregation.
Does C9300-48T-E support PoE?
C9300-48T-E does not provide PoE because it is the 48-port data-only model. It is appropriate for endpoints that have local power or for closets where powered devices are handled by separate PoE switches. Buyers needing 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ in the same Catalyst 9300 family usually compare it with C9300-48P-E.
Does C9300-48T-E support Layer 2 and Layer 3 features?
C9300-48T-E runs Cisco IOS XE and ships with Network Essentials, the perpetual license tier for core enterprise switching functions. It supports VLANs, trunks, spanning tree, routed access designs, QoS, ACLs, and management automation within the licensed feature set. Network Advantage models are selected when designs require the broader advanced switching and fabric feature package.
How is C9300-48T-E managed?
C9300-48T-E is managed through Cisco IOS XE using CLI, SNMP, syslog, automation interfaces, and Cisco Catalyst Center where the deployment uses Cisco campus management. Cisco documentation also describes Catalyst 9300 support for centralized policy and assurance workflows. This makes the SKU suitable for environments standardizing operations across Catalyst 9000 access switches.
What stacking does C9300-48T-E support?
C9300-48T-E supports Cisco StackWise-480 as part of the Catalyst 9300 modular uplink family. Cisco lists up to eight Catalyst 9300 switches in a StackWise-480 stack using dedicated StackWise cables. The stack presents a single management and control plane, which simplifies access closet expansion and supports higher access port density.
What is C9300-48T-E used for?
C9300-48T-E is used for enterprise access-layer switching where 48 copper Gigabit Ethernet endpoint connections terminate in a wiring closet. It fits workstations, printers, phones with external power, badge systems with injectors, and other non-PoE devices. The modular uplink slot lets network teams select fiber or copper uplink modules that match the distribution design.
What size environment fits C9300-48T-E best?
C9300-48T-E fits medium to large access closets that need dense 1G copper switching without PoE. A single unit covers 48 endpoint ports, while multiple Catalyst 9300 units form a StackWise-480 access block when more ports are required. It is also useful in branch or campus refreshes that standardize on Cisco Catalyst 9000 management.
What workloads suit C9300-48T-E?
C9300-48T-E suits general campus data traffic, endpoint VLAN segmentation, user access, printer access, control-plane management networks, and non-PoE copper aggregation. Its 48 1G access ports and modular uplink design suit predictable access switching rather than high-density multigigabit wireless backhaul, heavy PoE access, or data center leaf switching.
Does C9300-48T-E make sense for bulk campus refreshes?
C9300-48T-E makes sense for bulk refreshes when many wiring closets need the same 48-port data-only Catalyst access profile. Standardizing this SKU simplifies spares, IOS XE baselines, StackWise cable planning, power supply inventory, and Network Essentials licensing. Bulk buyers should compare it with PoE and Network Advantage variants before finalizing a campus bill of materials.
Which uplink modules work with C9300-48T-E?
C9300-48T-E supports Catalyst 9300 modular uplink network modules rather than fixed uplinks. Cisco lists C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, and C9300-NM-2Y for Catalyst 9300 Series modular uplink models. The chosen module should match the distribution switch ports, optics, fiber type, and oversubscription target during design review.
Which stacking accessories are used with C9300-48T-E?
C9300-48T-E uses StackWise cable options for Catalyst 9300 modular uplink models. Cisco lists STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M, and STACK-T1-3M cable options for C9300 and C9300X SKUs. These cables connect stack members at the rear of the switch and support StackWise-480 operation for a single access closet stack.
Which Cisco software ecosystem integrates with C9300-48T-E?

It also works with standard SFP, SFP+, QSFP, or multigigabit uplink media through compatible Catalyst 9300 network modules.
How does C9300-48T-E compare with C9300-48T-A?
C9300-48T-E and C9300-48T-A share the 48-port 1G copper, data-only, modular uplink hardware profile. The key difference is licensing: C9300-48T-E uses Network Essentials, while C9300-48T-A uses Network Advantage. Buyers select the E version for standard access switching and the A version when the design requires advanced enterprise switching features.
How does C9300-48T-E compare with C9300-24T-E?
C9300-48T-E provides 48 data-only 1G copper ports, while C9300-24T-E provides 24 data-only 1G copper ports. Both are Catalyst 9300 modular uplink models with Network Essentials licensing. The 48T-E fits closets with higher copper density, while the 24T-E suits smaller closets or designs that reserve rack space and power capacity.
How does C9300-48T-E compare with C9300-48P-E?
C9300-48T-E is the data-only 48-port model, while C9300-48P-E adds PoE+ on 48 1G copper access ports. Both use Network Essentials and modular uplinks. The 48T-E is preferred for locally powered endpoints and lower power draw, while the 48P-E fits phones, cameras, access points, and other powered devices.
How does C9300-48T-E compare with C9300L-48T-4X-E?
C9300-48T-E uses the Catalyst 9300 modular uplink architecture, while C9300L-48T-4X-E uses fixed 4x 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks. The C9300 model supports StackWise-480 and selectable network modules. The C9300L model fits designs that already know the required uplink type and prefer integrated fixed uplinks and operations model.
What affects the C9300-48T-E price?
C9300-48T-E price depends on condition, quantity, included accessories, uplink module choice, power supplies, licensing requirements, warranty term, and current market availability. The base switch does not include a fixed uplink module, so quotes should specify any required C9300 network module, optics, stacking cables, power cables, and support expectations.
Is C9300-48T-E available new or refurbished?
C9300-48T-E is commonly sourced through enterprise hardware channels in new, refurbished, and surplus conditions depending on market supply. Refurbished units are often attractive for Catalyst access refreshes, spares, and phased migrations. Buyers should confirm condition, serial eligibility, included power supply, fan status, accessories, and warranty coverage before placing an order.
Is C9300-48T-E still in production or end of life?
C9300-48T-E lifecycle status should be checked against Cisco lifecycle notices during procurement because availability changes over time.

ORM Systems can quote suitable condition options and adjacent Catalyst alternatives when supply is constrained.
What are typical lead times for C9300-48T-E?
C9300-48T-E lead times depend on stock position, required condition, quantity, testing queue, and accessory bundle. Refurbished stock can often move faster when units are already tested and configured for dispatch. Larger orders, specific power cords, matching serial requirements, uplink modules, or export paperwork can add time to the procurement schedule.
Are bulk discounts available for C9300-48T-E?
Bulk pricing is commonly relevant for C9300-48T-E because campus access refreshes often need repeated 48-port switches across many closets. Quantity, condition mix, warranty term, and accessory standardization influence the final discount. A structured bill of materials should include switches, uplink modules, optics, StackWise cables, power cords, and spare power supplies.
What warranty is available for C9300-48T-E from ORM Systems?
ORM Systems sells C9300-48T-E with warranty options that can extend up to 3 years depending on condition, availability, and quote terms. Warranty scope should be confirmed on the order because accessories, software subscriptions, and manufacturer support are handled separately from refurbished hardware coverage. The quote should identify the exact hardware and support expectations.
How is a refurbished C9300-48T-E tested before dispatch?
A refurbished C9300-48T-E should be tested for boot health, port status, fan and power supply operation, stacking interface condition, management access, and cosmetic grade before dispatch. The testing process should also verify that the unit matches the ordered SKU and includes the agreed power supply, rails, power cord, and accessories.
What certifications or compliance details matter for C9300-48T-E?
C9300-48T-E buyers should review Cisco Catalyst 9300 compliance documentation for safety, EMC, environmental, and regional regulatory requirements. The switch uses enterprise rackmount hardware with field-replaceable fans and power supplies.
