C9300-48U-1A combines 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports with Cisco UPOE in a managed Layer 3 switch for enterprise campus access. The 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 9300 series and carries Network Advantage, pairing powered endpoint connectivity with advanced routing at the access edge. The uplink bay ships empty: C9300-NM-8X provides eight 10G connections, while C9300-NM-2Q provides two 40G connections, with compatible optics selected separately. This separates endpoint-port selection from the upstream fiber connection required by the order. Cisco UPOE supports powered equipment such as IP phones and wireless access points, subject to each device's requirements. C9300-48P-A instead uses PoE+ for equipment that does not need UPOE.
C9300-48U-1A price for new stock is $20,568.08. C9300-48U-1A refurb price is $10,488.45. C9300-48U-1A is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

256 Gbps switching capacity and 190.48 Mpps forwarding define standalone performance, while 736 Gbps switching capacity with stacking applies when the system is assembled as a stack. 822W of shared PoE power must be allocated across powered endpoints rather than interpreted as simultaneous maximum output on every port. Full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 support routed access without the Network Essentials OSPF restriction; OSPFv3 and BGPv6 provide IPv6 routing. C9300-48U-1A carries 8 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash for its software and configuration resources. Within the Catalyst 9000 family, Cisco UADP 2.0 handles forwarding, with a 16 MB packet buffer for this Gigabit model. The hardware accommodates 32000 MAC addresses and 32000 total IPv4 routes, including direct and indirect entries. Local WebUI and SSH CLI support device administration without making a central controller mandatory. Native multigigabit copper downlinks are absent.
ORM Systems offers C9300-48U-1A new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, plus 30-day returns on either condition, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, including PoE output under load on every powered port, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantities, and any additional PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply on the purchase order. For enterprise and volume orders, POs are accepted, government buyers receive Net-30 terms, and regional stock and RMA coverage spans the UK, EU, US, and MEA, with advance replacement available.

When an access refresh introduces additional routed segments, the 1000-SVI limit provides a separate sizing checkpoint from the route-table total. Advanced segmentation includes VRF, VXLAN, and MPLS under the applicable software entitlement. Specify the intended interface count and segmentation features before the purchase order is issued.
When several locations need a common configuration process, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gNMI provide automation interfaces rather than requiring every device to be configured manually. The management mode and controller choice affect provisioning and license selection. Specify the automation tooling, management mode, and software entitlements consistently across the order.
When a staging purchase must reproduce production frame handling, the 9198-byte jumbo-frame limit gives the lab a specific boundary to test. Use the intended interface settings and traffic profile rather than assuming that a successful basic link test validates larger frames. Specify the acceptance test requirements with the staging-unit order.
90W power on individual endpoints
Cisco UPOE limits individual ports to 60W. C9300-48H-A supports 90W UPOE+ while retaining 48 Gigabit access ports; total available PoE still depends on the supply configuration.
Multigigabit copper access connections
Fixed copper downlinks stop at 1Gbps. C9300-48UXM-A retains 48 access ports but provides 36 at 2.5Gbps and 12 with 10Gbps multigigabit support.

C9300-48U-1A identifies a Catalyst 9300 switch with 48 Cisco UPOE ports and Network Advantage in a one-year offering. C9300 identifies the series, 48 is the access-port count, U identifies Cisco UPOE, 1 indicates the one-year offering, and A identifies Network Advantage.
C9300-48U-1A supports the embedded WebUI, local-console CLI, SSH CLI, Cisco Catalyst Center, and eligible Meraki dashboard management. NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gNMI support automation. Dashboard Cloud CLI capabilities depend on configuration source. Meraki operation also depends on software mode, release, and subscription; Network Advantage alone does not establish cloud-management entitlement.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300. C9300-48U-1A has no published hardware end-of-sale or last-support milestone. Software-release retirement notices apply to their named releases and do not, by themselves, retire the switch hardware or create a hardware replacement requirement.
Catalyst 9300 offers Cisco DNA Essentials or Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco Catalyst Essentials or Cisco Catalyst Advantage with three-year minimum terms. Cisco Networking Subscription offers Cisco Switching Essentials or Cisco Switching Advantage with a 36-month minimum. Migrated Meraki Enterprise or Meraki Advanced starts at one year. Network Advantage remains perpetual when add-ons expire. Smart Account required.
New sealed and certified refurbished C9300-48U-1A units carry ORM warranties of up to three years extended and up to one year, respectively. Both include 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty covers original ownership, limited to five years after discontinuance is announced.
822W is available to C9300-48U-1A endpoints with one PWR-C1-1100WAC-P; two PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supplies raise the shared budget to 1800W. Cisco UPOE supports 60W per powered port, but the budget cannot sustain that draw across every port. Size the connected endpoint load before selecting supplies.
C9300-48U-1A accepts C9300-NM-4G for four 1G SFP ports, C9300-NM-8X for eight 10G SFP+ ports, C9300-NM-2Y for two 25G SFP28 ports, C9300-NM-2Q for two 40G ports, or C9300-NM-4M for four multigigabit copper ports. The uplink module and compatible optics must be specified separately.
Yes, C9300-48U-1A can join compatible Catalyst 9300 stacks using StackWise-480, which stacks eight members with matching network-license levels. Higher-scale Catalyst 9300 models and fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L models cannot mix with this switch. Use STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M, or STACK-T1-3M according to the required cable length.
C9300-48U-1A includes full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 routing with Network Advantage, plus VRF and multicast features. The hardware supports 32000 total IPv4 routes, comprising 24000 direct and 8000 indirect routes. Network Essentials' 1000-route OSPF limit is not the Network Advantage routing entitlement.
No, C9300-48U-1A operates with one PWR-C1-1100WAC-P installed; the second internal supply is optional. A second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P increases the available PoE budget or supports a redundant power design, depending on allocation. Confirm whether the purchase includes one or two supplies rather than assuming two are fitted.
Yes, C9300-48U-1A is a 1U, full-width rack-mount switch measuring 44 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 488 mm deep with the default supply configuration. Its 7.72 kg weight and rear power connections should be included in rack-depth, support, and cable-clearance planning.
C9300-48U-1A supplies Cisco UPOE at 60W per port, whereas C9300-48P-A uses PoE+ at 30W per port. Shared switch budgets still govern simultaneous endpoint loading. The UPOE model suits endpoints exceeding PoE+ power limits; the PoE+ model suits equipment that stays within 30W.
C9300-48U-1A carries Network Advantage; C9300-48U-1E carries Network Essentials in a federal-only one-year offering. Network Advantage adds full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and IS-IS; Network Essentials limits OSPF to 1000 routes. Choose Advantage for advanced routing, or the eligible Essentials offering for routed-access requirements within those limits.
C9300-48U-1A provides 48 Gigabit access ports, while C9300-24U-A provides 24 Gigabit access ports. Both use Cisco UPOE and modular uplinks, so endpoint count is the distinguishing hardware choice here. Select the 48-port model for denser connection requirements or the 24-port model for fewer connections.
C9300-48U-1A-RF is Cisco's remanufactured version of C9300-48U-1A; ORM certified refurbishment is a separate condition. Specify the exact PID and refurbishment program independently. An ORM hardware order does not waive the applicable subscription requirement, and the one-year offering name does not establish an active entitlement.
