Mixed-Speed Copper Connectivity for Powered Campus Endpoints

C9300-48UXM-A is a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 48 UPOE copper ports: 36 support 2.5G and 12 support 10G Multigigabit connections. The Catalyst 9300 configuration combines a 1U rack chassis with Network Advantage. Its empty uplink bay accepts C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Y, or C9300-NM-2Q, rather than supplying fixed uplink ports. C9300-48UXM-E carries Network Essentials on the same mixed-speed access hardware. Reserve the faster downlinks for endpoints requiring their additional speed, and specify the uplink configuration independently of the base chassis.

C9300-48UXM-A price for new stock is $4,436.25, a 70.3% saving from the Cisco list price of $14,914.00. C9300-48UXM-A refurb price is $1,548.86. C9300-48UXM-A is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

580 Gbps switching capacity and 431.54 Mpps forwarding provide the standalone limits for traffic sizing. 490W of shared PoE is available with PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, so powered-device allocations must fit the installed supply configuration. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 support advanced unicast routing. C9300-48UXM-A uses UADP 2.0 forwarding silicon and a 32 MB packet buffer within the Catalyst 9000 family. The hardware supports 32000 MAC entries and 32000 total IPv4 entries, including direct and indirect routes; the indirect-route subset is not an additional allocation. The platform does not accept the 100G uplink modules intended for Catalyst 9300X.

Ordering

ORM Systems offers C9300-48UXM-A new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to a 1-year warranty on certified refurbished units; both conditions carry 30-day returns, terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed port links, and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, and required included hardware on the purchase order. Enterprise and volume requirements can use accepted POs, government Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA in the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

C9300-48UXM-A Use Case

High-Density Wireless Campus Access

Deploy C9300-48UXM-A in campus closets serving Wi-Fi 6 access points, collaboration rooms, smart cameras, and high-bandwidth users that have outgrown 1G access. Its 36 2.5G-capable ports and 12 ports up to 10G let teams match speeds to endpoint demand while retaining copper cabling. Cisco UPOE support powers connected devices, and Network Advantage licensing supports advanced routed access, segmentation, policy, and automation. StackWise-480 helps multiple switches operate as one logical access system for denser floors and modernized enterprise buildings at scale.

Wireless-Heavy Branch Standardization

Use this switch for wireless-heavy branch or regional offices where newer access points need more throughput than legacy Gigabit switches can provide. The C9300-48UXM-A gives IT teams multigigabit copper, Cisco UPOE power, modular uplinks, and Network Advantage features in one standardized Catalyst platform. Optional redundant power and StackPower support help protect remote closets where local service is limited, while IOS XE management keeps staging, monitoring, configuration templates, and troubleshooting consistent with headquarters across distributed sites during growth projects and refresh cycles.

Phased Multigigabit Modernization

Choose C9300-48UXM-A for phased access-layer modernization where every closet does not need identical port speeds on day one. The switch can support 2.5G desktop or wireless endpoints, reserve 10G-capable multigigabit ports for demanding devices, and use modular uplinks to align with existing distribution hardware. That flexibility makes it useful for multi-building campus upgrades, spare inventory planning, and lifecycle replacement programs where procurement wants a repeatable Catalyst 9300 profile with advanced software, strong stacking bandwidth, and long-term endpoint growth headroom globally.

Best For

Retired Hardware Replacement

When retiring WS-C3850-12X48U-S equipment, replacement is a hardware purchasing requirement rather than a Cisco support renewal: service ended October 31, 2025. Inventory existing uplink connections separately from the chassis, then specify the replacement hardware, required uplink configuration, and included equipment before issuing the purchase order.

Routed Access Staging

When an access refresh includes local routing for separate endpoint groups, the 1000-SVI ceiling adds a configuration-sizing check beyond physical connection counts. Compare the intended interface inventory with that ceiling before staging, and specify the required configuration and software entitlements on the purchase order.

Not Suitable If

48 copper connections at 10G

C9300-48UXM-A limits 10G to 12 copper ports. C9300X-48HX-A supplies 48 multigigabit 10G ports; specify that model when every endpoint requires this connection speed.

90W power for each endpoint

C9300-48UXM-A delivers at most 60W per port. C9300X-48HX-A supports 90W UPOE+; size its shared power budget separately before specifying powered-device quantities.

Questions & Answers

What does the part number C9300-48UXM-A mean?

C9300-48UXM-A combines C9300 for Catalyst 9300, 48 for 48 copper ports, UXM for the UPOE mixed-Multigigabit configuration, and A for Network Advantage. There is no fixed-uplink code; an optional module defines those connections. Preserve the complete part number when matching quotations to the purchase order.

How is the Catalyst 9300 managed?

Catalyst 9300 supports WebUI, local-console CLI, SSH, Cisco Catalyst Center, and Meraki dashboard management with IOS XE. Choose the configuration source before staging: device-managed configurations remain local, while cloud-sourced configurations arrive through the dashboard. Specify the software release and subscription required for the selected management mode.

Is Catalyst 9300 end of sale?

Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300. C9300-48UXM-A has no announced hardware replacement milestone. Treat software-release retirement separately from chassis retirement when setting support requirements, and specify the intended service coverage and software entitlement on the purchase order rather than assuming hardware and software dates coincide.

What condition and warranty does ORM offer for C9300-48UXM-A?

ORM offers C9300-48UXM-A new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended or up to 1-year ORM warranties respectively. Returns are 30 days for either condition; terms apply. Cisco’s separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty covers eligible original owners and is limited to five years after discontinuance is announced.

Which licensing paths are available for C9300-48UXM-A?

C9300-48UXM-A includes perpetual Network Advantage. Cisco DNA Advantage or Cisco Catalyst Advantage subscriptions start at three years; Cisco Networking Subscription offers Cisco Switching Essentials and Cisco Switching Advantage with a 36-month minimum. Meraki OS migration uses Enterprise or Advanced subscriptions starting at one year. New orders require subscription selection and a Smart Account.

Which older switches does C9300-48UXM-A replace?

C9300-48UXM-A replaces C1-WSC3850-12X48UL, WS-C3850-12X48U-E, WS-C3850-12X48U-EJ, WS-C3850-12X48U-S, WS-C3850-12X48U-SJ, and WS-C3850-12X48UW-S. Those discontinued models reached end of sale on October 30, 2020, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2025. Specify replacement hardware rather than service renewal for those retired chassis, and inventory existing connections before ordering.

Which uplink modules fit C9300-48UXM-A?

C9300-48UXM-A accepts C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-4M, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Y, and C9300-NM-2Q; the base configuration has no uplink module installed. Match the selected module to the required connection count and speed. Specify that module and any required fiber optics as separate purchase-order line items rather than leaving the uplink configuration implicit.

What is the difference between C9300-48UXM-A and C9300-48UXM-E?

C9300-48UXM-A includes Network Advantage, whereas C9300-48UXM-E includes Network Essentials. Select the tier against the intended routing requirements before comparing hardware quotations, and preserve the suffix on the purchase order. Advantage suits advanced-routing requirements; Essentials suits buyers purchasing the lower network-feature tier for the same mixed-speed access configuration.

What is the difference between C9300-48UXM-A and C9300-48UN-A?

C9300-48UN-A provides a 645W single-supply PoE budget versus 490W on C9300-48UXM-A. Compare powered-device allocations before selecting either configuration, rather than assuming equal headroom from the chassis names. The UN configuration suits purchases needing more baseline PoE allocation; the UXM configuration requires its own endpoint-load calculation against the smaller shared budget.

What is the difference between C9300-48UXM-A and C9300-24UX-A?

C9300-48UXM-A provides 48 copper access ports, while C9300-24UX-A provides 24. Start with the physical connection inventory before ordering additional chassis capacity, and retain the chosen part number on each line item. The 48-port configuration suits denser connection requirements; the 24-port configuration suits purchases requiring fewer physical access connections.
