The Cisco Catalyst 9300 48-port UPOE Deep Buffer (C9300-48UB-A) is a stackable enterprise switch featuring 48 UPOE ports, enhanced packet buffering, and the Network Advantage software license for advanced networking services.
UPOE (Universal Power over Ethernet) delivers up to 60W per port, supporting high-power devices such as IP phones, access points, and security cameras over standard Ethernet cabling.
Deep buffer architecture allocates 12MB per port to manage congestion, minimize packet loss, and ensure consistent performance for latency-sensitive applications like voice and video.
The Network Advantage license unlocks advanced features including full Layer 3 routing, dynamic segmentation, advanced QoS, policy-based automation, and advanced security capabilities.
The Catalyst 9300-48UB supports up to eight switches in a stack using Cisco StackWise-480 or StackWise-320 technology for simplified management and high availability.
This switch delivers up to 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth and a switching capacity of 176 Gbps, with forwarding rates up to 130.95 Mpps to handle demanding enterprise workloads.
The C9300-48UB comes with dual field-replaceable AC power supplies (1,100W each) and supports redundant configurations to ensure uninterrupted UPOE power delivery.
Security features include Cisco TrustSec for role-based access control, MACsec encryption, Secure Boot, Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) integration, and advanced threat defense with encrypted traffic analytics.
You can manage and automate the switch using Cisco DNA Center, Cisco IOS XE CLI, REST APIs, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure for centralized configuration, monitoring, and zero-touch provisioning.
Ideal deployment scenarios include enterprise campus distribution, branch aggregation, wireless backhaul, and environments requiring high-density PoE with low-latency buffering for IoT and video.
High availability is achieved through StackWise stacking, dual redundant power supplies, hot-swappable fans and power modules, nonstop forwarding (NSF), and Stateful Switchover (SSO).
UPOE requires standard Cat5e or higher Ethernet cables, which support 60W per port without the need for additional power infrastructure or proprietary connectors.
You can order the C9300-48UB-A through authorized Cisco partners or the Cisco online store, specifying the SKU along with any desired SmartNet support and add-on software licenses.
Cisco offers a limited lifetime hardware warranty with next-business-day replacement and optional SmartNet Technical Support for 24/7 access to software updates and expert assistance.
Compared to the 9300-48P, the UPOE Deep Buffer model provides higher per-port power (60W vs. 30W), expanded packet buffering, and includes the Network Advantage feature set by default.
Yes, you can upgrade from Network Essentials to Network Advantage via a Cisco software license upgrade without replacing hardware, unlocking enhanced routing, security, and automation features.
