UPOE Access Switching for High-Speed Campus Edges
C9300-48UXM-E is a Layer 3 managed enterprise access switch with 36 100M/1G/2.5G UPOE downlinks and 12 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M multigigabit UPOE downlinks for high-density campus closets. The modular uplink bay ships empty and accepts Catalyst 9300 network modules for SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP, or multigigabit RJ-45 uplinks. As part of the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series, the 48-port UPOE multigigabit access switch runs Network Essentials for routed access, policy, and campus management use cases. C9300-48UXM-A keeps the same port hardware but changes the perpetual tier to Network Advantage for buyers standardizing on advanced routing and segmentation.
C9300-48UXM-E price for new stock is $4,498.20, a 69.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $14,914.00. C9300-48UXM-E refurb price is $1,246.35. C9300-48UXM-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details
580 Gbps switching capacity and 431.54 Mpps forwarding rate support the mixed 2.5G and 10G access-port profile without treating the uplink module as installed. 490W PoE budget is available from the default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply, with higher budgets available when a second supply is added. Static, RIP, EIGRP Stub, OSPF up to 1000 routes, PBR, VRRP, and PIM Stub Multicast up to 1000 routes sit inside the Network Essentials feature set; BGP, IS-IS, VXLAN, and full EIGRP require Network Advantage. C9300-48UXM-E provides 8 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash, 32000 MAC entries, 32000 IPv4 routes, 1000 SVIs, and a 32-MB packet buffer. Management can use WebUI, local console, CLI over SSH, Catalyst Center, or Meraki dashboard monitoring and management modes.

C9300-48UXM-E Use Case
Multigigabit Access Layer Handoff
C9300-48UXM-E sits in an access closet and terminates copper runs from Wi-Fi access points, workstations, cameras, collaboration endpoints, and other powered devices. Engineers place standard endpoints on the 36 ports that support 100M, 1G, and 2.5G, then reserve the 12 multigigabit ports for devices requiring 5G or 10G copper. Cisco UPOE policies, VLANs, QoS, and authentication controls operate at this edge, with Network Essentials providing the base campus switching tier. The network gains denser powered access while matching port speed to endpoint demand.
Access to Distribution Uplink Handoff
The switch anchors the access layer and hands aggregated endpoint traffic northbound through a selected Catalyst 9300 network module. Engineers match C9300-48UXM-E with C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, C9300-NM-2Y, or another supported module according to the distribution design, optics plan, and oversubscription target. Downlinks remain fixed as 36 2.5G capable ports plus 12 10G multigigabit ports while uplinks change with the module, so distribution refresh plans stay decoupled from endpoint cabling. The network gains a cleaner refresh path without replacing copper endpoint cabling.
Stacked Closet Operations Plane
Several compatible Catalyst 9300 Network Essentials switches form a StackWise-480 block when a wiring closet needs more powered multigigabit ports under one control plane. C9300-48UXM-E contributes 48 Cisco UPOE access ports per member, a default 1100W AC power supply, and modular uplink selection for distribution connectivity. Engineers standardize stack cables, power supplies, network modules, VLAN templates, software releases, and Smart Licensing registration before adding members to the closet stack. The operation gains unified switch administration, coordinated uplink redundancy, and predictable growth across the access closet.
Best For
Access Point Refresh
A wiring closet moving beyond 1G access points can place 12 higher-speed APs on 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M ports and 36 remaining drops on 100M/1G/2.5G ports. Size the 490W default PoE pool against the AP draw before the PO.
Stack Extension
An existing Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink stack can add another same-license member under StackWise-480, with eight total members supported. Match Network Essentials across the stack and order STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M, or STACK-T1-3M cables for the required spacing.
Modular Uplink Planning
A distribution handoff that has not standardized on fiber speed can leave uplinks as a separate line item. Choose C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, C9300-NM-2Y, or C9300-NM-4M before the order is released.
Not Suitable If
Advanced routing protocols
Network Essentials excludes BGP, IS-IS, full EIGRP, VXLAN, and Network Advantage scale; use C9300-48UXM-A when those features are required on the same hardware.
90W endpoint power
Cisco UPOE on this model is 60W Type 3, not UPOE+ Type 4; use C9300-48H-E for 48-port UPOE+ access requirements.
Uniform 5G downlinks
The access mix is 36 2.5G ports plus 12 10G multigigabit ports; use C9300-48UN-E when all 48 access ports must be 5G UPOE.

Questions & Answers
What is C9300-48UXM-E?
C9300-48UXM-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 managed Layer 3 access switch with 48 UPOE multigigabit copper ports and a modular uplink bay. The port mix is 36 100M/1G/2.5G ports and 12 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M ports under Network Essentials.
What does the C9300-48UXM-E part number mean?
C9300-48UXM-E identifies a Catalyst 9300 model, 48 access ports, UPOE power, multigigabit copper downlinks, modular uplinks, and the Network Essentials license tier. The ordering identity is 48-port 2.5G copper with 12 10G/mGig ports, not a fixed-uplink model.
How is C9300-48UXM-E managed?
C9300-48UXM-E is managed through Cisco IOS XE using WebUI, local console, CLI over SSH, Catalyst Center, or Meraki dashboard monitoring and management modes. Network stack management also includes WebUI and Meraki dashboard CLI, while full Meraki dashboard operation uses Meraki software licensing.
Is C9300-48UXM-E end of sale?
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300. C9300-48UXM-E does not appear as a discontinued hardware PID in the Catalyst 9300 end-of-life notice list checked for this product family, although separate IOS XE releases and accessories have their own lifecycle notices.
What condition and warranty options does ORM offer for C9300-48UXM-E?
ORM offers C9300-48UXM-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage active while no end-of-sale date is announced. ORM warranty coverage is up to 3-year extended on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns; terms apply.
Which licenses are required for C9300-48UXM-E?
C9300-48UXM-E carries the perpetual Network Essentials network license. New orders with Network Essentials or Network Advantage require a same-tier Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA subscription term license, with 3-, 5-, or 7-year terms available for 48-port C9300 copper models.
What older PID does C9300-48UXM-E replace?
C9300-48UXM-E is named as the replacement for WS-C3850-12X48U-LJ. The predecessor was a Catalyst 3850 48-port model with 12 multigigabit plus 36 Gigabit UPOE ports and LAN Base for Japan, replaced by Network Essentials on the Catalyst 9300 platform.
How much PoE budget does C9300-48UXM-E provide?
C9300-48UXM-E provides 490W of PoE budget with the default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply. Adding a second 1100W supply raises the available PoE budget to 1590W, while 48 ports at 60W each would total 2880W of endpoint demand.
Which network modules work with C9300-48UXM-E?
C9300-48UXM-E supports Catalyst 9300 network modules including C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, C9300-NM-2Y, and C9300-NM-4M. The switch ships with an empty modular uplink bay, so the uplink module and any required optics should be separate order lines.
Can C9300-48UXM-E stack with other switches?
C9300-48UXM-E supports StackWise-480 with up to eight C9300 members at the same license level. It can stack with other C9300 SKUs and can mix with C9300X at StackWise-480 speeds, but C9300L fixed-uplink models and Catalyst 3850 or 3650 switches cannot join.
What is the difference between C9300-48UXM-E and C9300-48UXM-A?
C9300-48UXM-A carries Network Advantage where C9300-48UXM-E carries Network Essentials. The hardware identity stays aligned around 48 UPOE multigigabit copper ports and modular uplinks; choose C9300-48UXM-E for routed access, or C9300-48UXM-A for advanced routing and segmentation.
What is the difference between C9300-48UXM-E and C9300-48T-E?
C9300-48T-E is data-only where C9300-48UXM-E supplies Cisco UPOE. Both are Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink models with Network Essentials, but C9300-48T-E fits non-powered copper endpoints, while C9300-48UXM-E fits access closets with powered devices.
What is the difference between C9300-48UXM-E and C9300-48UN-E?
C9300-48UN-E provides 48 5G multigigabit UPOE ports, while C9300-48UXM-E provides 36 2.5G ports plus 12 10G multigigabit UPOE ports. C9300-48UN-E fits uniform 5G access, while C9300-48UXM-E fits mixed 2.5G access with selected 10G endpoints.
