Powered Campus Access With Advanced IP Routing

C9300L-48P-4X-A combines 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports with four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and Network Advantage licensing. This managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch connects wired desktops, IP phones and wireless access points in a rack-mount 1U chassis. The uplinks also support 1G operation, allowing the upstream connection speed to follow the selected interface. Within the Catalyst 9300L range, the fixed-uplink architecture removes the need to select a removable network module, but does not provide an uplink expansion bay. A higher single-supply PoE budget distinguishes C9300L-48PF-4X-A, which provides 890W. The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series belongs to the Catalyst 9000 family, while this license tier adds advanced routing, segmentation and multicast capabilities beyond Network Essentials.

C9300L-48P-4X-A price for new stock is $5,746.65, a 47.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $11,000.00. C9300L-48P-4X-A refurb price is $2,593.50. C9300L-48P-4X-A is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

Technical Details

176 Gbps switching capacity handles local Ethernet forwarding, while 130.95 Mpps forwarding throughput provides the standalone packet-processing figure. 505W of shared PoE budget must be allocated across connected powered devices rather than treated as maximum output on every port simultaneously. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 support advanced routed access under Network Advantage; OSPFv3 and BGPv6 extend routing to IPv6, and PIM-SM supports multicast distribution. C9300L-48P-4X-A provides 8 GB of DRAM and 16 GB of flash for operating software and stored configurations. Hardware forwarding supports 32000 total IPv4 routes, comprising 24000 direct and 8000 indirect entries. A 16 MB packet buffer holds queued traffic, while the 32000-entry MAC table tracks learned Ethernet addresses. MACsec-256 supplies link encryption under this tier, and the embedded WebUI provides local configuration and troubleshooting. 616.7W measured consumption at full PoE load and 115V AC provides a reference for upstream power planning. Three FAN-T2= fans provide active cooling; StackPower power sharing is not supported.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Specify the subscription path

C9300L-48P-4X-A new orders use Cisco DNA Advantage or Cisco Catalyst Advantage, minimum three years; unified Cisco Switching Essentials/Advantage through Cisco Networking Subscription starts at 36 months; Meraki Enterprise/Advanced requires migration and a minimum one-year term.

Size full endpoint power

C9300L-48P-4X-A cannot allocate maximum PoE+ power everywhere from its default supply: 48 × 30W = 1440W. Order PWR-C1-1100WAC-P alongside PWR-C1-715WAC-P when full-port 30W allocation is required.

Match stacking hardware licenses

C9300L-48P-4X-A stack additions require matching network license levels across Catalyst 9300L/9300LM members. Specify C9300L-STACK-KIT2 with STACK-T3A-50CM, STACK-T3A-1M or STACK-T3A-3M; modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 members cannot join this stack.

C9300L-48P-4X-A Use Case

Access Layer Endpoint Handoff

The C9300L-48P-4X-A sits at the access layer where user ports, phones, access points, cameras, and badge readers terminate on 48 1G PoE+ copper downlinks. Network teams apply VLANs, 802.1X policy, QoS, and routed-access controls through Cisco IOS XE while the four 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks connect toward distribution. Its 505W PoE budget supports mixed endpoint power profiles from one rack unit, reducing separate injectors and creating a cleaner endpoint attachment point for daily operations and future changes across the wiring closet.

Stacked Access Closet Consolidation

StackWise-320 places the switch with matching Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM members at the same license level, forming an eight-member managed stack for access closets that need more ports without separate control points. C9300L-48P-4X-A contributes 52 fixed ports, including 48 PoE+ access ports and four SFP+ uplinks, while Cisco Catalyst Center or IOS XE tooling handles policy, telemetry, and monitoring. The deployment reduces switch-by-switch administration and gives operations teams a single logical access block for expansion cycles, planned moves, and replacements.

Routed Access Uplink Handoff

At an access-to-distribution handoff, the C9300L-48P-4X-A uses fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks for fiber or direct-attach paths while Layer 3 services keep local segmentation and routing close to endpoints. Engineers place VLAN gateways, OSPF or EIGRP adjacencies, access lists, telemetry, and automation on the switch instead of relying only on upstream devices. This position keeps endpoint power, access policy, and routed uplink control in one managed edge platform during refresh or expansion cycles for a stable routed access boundary for operations.

Best For

Legacy Hardware Refresh

For a Catalyst 3650 refresh, October 31, 2026 is the outgoing family's last date of support. The replacement purchase also changes the software entitlement structure, so inventory the existing configuration and required features separately from the chassis. Specify the intended management approach and software entitlements before issuing the PO.

Routed Interface Consolidation

When a purchase consolidates several routed access segments, the 1000 switched virtual interface limit and 4094 VLAN IDs establish separate sizing boundaries. Count required gateway interfaces independently from VLAN identifiers, including the configuration planned for staging and production. Confirm both inventories against these limits before specifying the equipment quantity on the PO.

Lab Acceptance Staging

For a staging purchase that must reproduce an existing jumbo-frame environment, the 9198-byte maximum frame size defines an acceptance-test boundary. Include the intended frame sizes and upstream interface settings in the test plan rather than assuming every connected device uses matching values. Specify the required acceptance checks before releasing the PO.

Not Suitable If

Endpoints requiring more than 30W

PoE+ output stops at 30W per port. C9300L-48UXG-4X-A supports 60W UPOE and changes the downlinks to 12 Multigigabit ports plus 36 Gigabit ports.

25G uplinks to distribution

Fixed uplinks stop at 10G and cannot accept an uplink card. C9300LM-48U-4Y-A provides four 25G uplinks with 48 Gigabit copper ports and UPOE.

Questions & Answers

What does the C9300L-48P-4X-A part number mean?

C9300L-48P-4X-A identifies fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300 hardware: C9300L denotes the fixed-uplink range, 48 denotes 48 Gigabit copper access ports, P denotes PoE+, 4X denotes four 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, and A denotes Network Advantage. The complete part number distinguishes this powered configuration from different uplink, power-budget and license variants.

How is the Catalyst 9300L managed?

Catalyst 9300L supports local console and SSH CLI access, an embedded WebUI, Cisco Catalyst Center, and Meraki dashboard management or monitoring. Dashboard operation depends on the selected management mode, software release and licensing. Local device configuration and cloud-delivered configuration are distinct approaches, so specify the intended management workflow with the software order.

Is C9300L-48P-4X-A end of sale?

Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300L. C9300L-48P-4X-A therefore has no announced hardware end-of-sale milestone to attach to the purchase. Software release lifecycles and stacking accessory availability remain separate considerations; specify the intended software release and stacking hardware independently rather than treating their milestones as the chassis lifecycle.

What condition and warranty options does ORM Systems offer for C9300L-48P-4X-A?

ORM Systems offers C9300L-48P-4X-A new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty covers the original owner, subject to its five-year discontinuance limit.

Which licensing paths are available for C9300L-48P-4X-A?

C9300L-48P-4X-A supports Cisco DNA, Cisco Catalyst, Cisco Networking Subscription and Meraki licensing paths. DNA and Catalyst offer Essentials/Advantage with three-year minimums; new -A orders select Advantage. Unified Cisco Switching Essentials or Cisco Switching Advantage has a 36-month minimum. Meraki Enterprise or Advanced requires migration and a one-year minimum. Network Advantage remains perpetual under the DNA/Catalyst path.

Which older switches does C9300L-48P-4X-A replace?

C9300L-48P-4X-A replaces C1-WS3650-48PD/K9, C1-WS3650-48PQ/K9, WS-C3650-48PD-E, WS-C3650-48PD-S, WS-C3650-48PQ-E and WS-C3650-48PQ-S. These discontinued Catalyst 3650 models reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and their last support date is October 31, 2026. Specify the replacement hardware and software entitlements separately from the outgoing chassis configuration.

How much PoE power does C9300L-48P-4X-A provide?

C9300L-48P-4X-A provides a shared 505W PoE budget with its default PWR-C1-715WAC-P supply, with 30W maximum output per powered port. Two PWR-C1-715WAC-P supplies provide 1220W. Combining PWR-C1-715WAC-P with PWR-C1-1100WAC-P provides 1440W, allowing the supply configuration to match a requirement for 30W across all 48 access ports.

How many Catalyst 9300L switches can be stacked?

Catalyst 9300L StackWise-320 stacks eight members with 320 Gbps stacking bandwidth. C9300L-STACK-KIT2 supplies two adapters and a STACK-T3A-50CM cable; STACK-T3A-1M and STACK-T3A-3M provide longer cable options. Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM members must share the same network license level, and modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 switches cannot join that stack.

Which uplinks does the 48-port Gigabit PoE+ configuration provide?

The 48-port Gigabit PoE+ configuration C9300L-48P-4X-A provides four fixed SFP+ uplinks supporting 10G or 1G operation. These ports are built into the chassis rather than supplied by a removable network module. Select compatible interfaces for the required link speed; adding an uplink card cannot raise this configuration beyond 10G.

Does C9300L-48P-4X-A support advanced Layer 3 routing?

Yes, C9300L-48P-4X-A supports full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 through Network Advantage, with OSPFv3 and BGPv6 for IPv6 routing. The hardware supports 32000 total IPv4 routes, split into 24000 direct and 8000 indirect entries. The indirect-route subset is not the total capacity, and Network Essentials' OSPF limit does not define this tier.

Which power supply ships with the Catalyst 9300L 48-port PoE+ model?

The Catalyst 9300L 48-port PoE+ model C9300L-48P-4X-A ships with one PWR-C1-715WAC-P supply, while the second internal power supply bay is optional. A second PWR-C1-715WAC-P can be specified for a dual-supply configuration. Supply selection must account for endpoint power allocation as well as the requirement to continue operating after a supply loss.

What is the difference between C9300L-48P-4X-A and C9300L-48PF-4X-A?

C9300L-48PF-4X-A provides an 890W single-supply PoE budget, whereas C9300L-48P-4X-A provides 505W. The higher budget does not mean every port can simultaneously receive 30W without additional power sizing. C9300L-48P-4X-A suits purchases with a lower aggregate endpoint allocation; C9300L-48PF-4X-A suits buyers requiring more PoE headroom from the initial supply configuration.

What is the difference between C9300L-48P-4X-A and C9300L-48P-4X-E?

C9300L-48P-4X-A includes Network Advantage and full BGP/EIGRP capabilities, while C9300L-48P-4X-E includes Network Essentials with routed-access OSPF limited to 1000 routes. The distinction is the perpetual network license rather than an additional physical interface. Choose C9300L-48P-4X-A for advanced routing requirements; C9300L-48P-4X-E addresses switching and routing within the Essentials feature limits.

What is the difference between C9300L-48P-4X-A and C9300L-48P-4G-A?

C9300L-48P-4X-A carries four 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, whereas C9300L-48P-4G-A carries four 1G SFP uplinks. The uplink hardware is fixed, so the 4G configuration cannot gain 10G uplinks through a network module. C9300L-48P-4X-A suits a 10G upstream requirement; C9300L-48P-4G-A suits purchases that retain 1G distribution connections.

What happens when a C9300L-48P-4X-A Cisco DNA or Catalyst subscription expires?

C9300L-48P-4X-A retains its perpetual Network Advantage capabilities when a Cisco DNA or Cisco Catalyst subscription expires. Continuing subscription features requires renewal; otherwise, deactivate the add-on license and reload the switch to operate with base capabilities. A Smart Account is required for licensing management, and a new order still requires the selected subscription entitlement.
