PoE+ Access Switching for Campus Wiring Closets

C9300L-48P-4X-E is a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 48 1G copper PoE+ access ports and fixed 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks. The 48-port 1G PoE+ access switch fits 1U wiring closets where phones, wireless access points and edge devices need shared inline power plus 10G uplinks toward distribution. Catalyst 9300L is the fixed-uplink member of the Catalyst 9300 Series, so uplink speed is chosen in the hardware SKU rather than by a network module. Network Essentials keeps routed access features on the platform, while Cisco IOS XE provides the operating environment. C9300L-48P-4X-A uses the same 48-port PoE+ and 4x10G hardware with Network Advantage instead of Network Essentials.

C9300L-48P-4X-E price for new stock is $3,197.25, a 70.9% saving from the Cisco list price of $11,000.00. C9300L-48P-4X-E refurb price is $1,590.75. C9300L-48P-4X-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

176 Gbps switching capacity and 130.95 Mpps forwarding support wire-speed IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding for the fixed-uplink configuration. 505W shared PoE power is available with the default PWR-C1-715WAC-P supply, while 616.7W is the highest measured standalone draw under the listed PoE test. StackWise-320 supports eight members and 496 Gbps stacked switching capacity when the stack uses supported C9300L hardware and matching license levels. C9300L-48P-4X-E runs Cisco IOS XE with 8 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash, 16 MB packet buffer, 32000 MAC addresses and 32000 IPv4 routes. Network Essentials includes RIP, EIGRP Stub, OSPF up to 1000 routes, PBR, PIM Stub Multicast up to 1000 routes and VRRP. BGP, IS-IS, VXLAN and LISP are Network Advantage features, not part of this Network Essentials configuration.

Ordering

Order C9300L-48P-4X-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Refurbished managed units are inspected and bench-tested; firmware is verified, configurations are wiped to factory default, every port links at rated speed, PoE output is verified under load, SFP+ bays recognize optics, and PSU and fan status are checked. Add this switch and its selected software term to the PO. ORM supports PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and UK, EU, US, MEA stock/RMA for volume rollouts.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Subscription term selection

Network Essentials is perpetual on the hardware; a Cisco Catalyst Essentials or Cisco DNA Essentials term is selected for 3 / 5 / 7 years, and a Smart Account is mandatory at purchase.

PoE headroom planning

The default 505W PoE budget is shared. Forty-eight ports at 30W equals 1440W, so all-port PoE+ loading requires secondary-supply sizing rather than the base PWR-C1-715WAC-P alone.

Stack hardware choice

StackWise-320 uses C9300L-STACK-KIT2 with STACK-T3A-50CM, STACK-T3A-1M or STACK-T3A-3M cables. C9300L members stack with C9300L and C9300LM models at the same license level, not modular-uplink C9300 models.

C9300L-48P-4X-E Use Case

Enterprise Campus Access Refresh

Deploy C9300L-48P-4X-E in campus wiring closets when replacing aging access switches with stackable Catalyst 9000 infrastructure. Its 48 PoE+ capable Gigabit ports support desktops, IP phones, wireless access points, badge readers, and cameras, while four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks provide high-speed paths to distribution switches. StackWise-320 support lets network teams manage multiple access switches as one logical unit, reducing operational overhead across floors. This use case fits universities, corporate campuses, hospitals, and large buildings standardizing on Cisco IOS XE operations.

Branch Office Network Standardization

Use this switch as a repeatable branch office access platform for organizations that want consistent Cisco IOS XE operations across distributed sites. Network Essentials licensing provides a practical feature tier for managed access, while fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks simplify the bill of materials and avoid modular uplink decisions. The 505W default PoE budget can support common branch loads such as phones, cameras, and access points, with secondary power options available for growth. It suits retail locations, clinics, regional offices, and service desks needing dependable Cisco switching.

Powered Endpoint and Security Device Aggregation

C9300L-48P-4X-E is well suited for aggregating powered endpoints at the access layer, including IP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras, environmental sensors, and building systems. PoE+ support reduces local power adapter requirements, and Fast PoE with Perpetual PoE helps improve endpoint availability during reload or power restoration events. VLANs, ACLs, QoS, 802.1X, and IOS XE monitoring features give administrators the controls needed to segment and prioritize device traffic. This makes the switch useful for security-heavy floors, smart buildings, and voice-plus-wireless deployments.

Best For

3650 Access Refresh

A Catalyst 3650 access refresh can map WS-C3650-48PD-L or WS-C3650-48PQ-L to this fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L model while keeping Network Essentials. Before the PO, check the Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA Essentials term, Smart Account handling, and whether 4x10G SFP+ uplinks match the distribution ports.

PoE Closet Sizing

A 48-port endpoint closet with phones, cameras and access points should be sized against the 505W default PoE budget rather than port count alone. If the design expects every powered port to draw 30W PoE+, specify the secondary power supply path that reaches 1440W before the order is released.

Stack Expansion

An existing Catalyst 9300L stack can add this model when the members use the same license level and StackWise-320 hardware. Specify C9300L-STACK-KIT2 and the required STACK-T3A-50CM, STACK-T3A-1M or STACK-T3A-3M cable length, and keep modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 and Catalyst 3650 members out of the stack.

Not Suitable If

Full 48-port PoE+ draw

The 505W default PoE budget cannot feed 48 ports at 30W. Specify C9300L-48PF-4X-E when a 48-port fixed-uplink model with full PoE+ budget is required.

Modular uplink changes

The uplinks are fixed 4x10G/1G SFP+ ports, and there is no network-module bay. Use a Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink model when uplink modules are required.

Network Advantage feature set

Network Essentials excludes BGP, IS-IS, VXLAN and LISP. Specify C9300L-48P-4X-A for the same 48-port PoE+ 4x10G hardware with Network Advantage.

Mixed 3650 stacking

Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink models cannot stack with Catalyst 3650 Series. Build a same-license Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM stack, or keep the older stack separate.

Questions & Answers

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

C9300L-48P-4X-E identifies a Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink switch with 48 1G copper PoE+ ports, four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, and Network Essentials. C9300L marks the fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L family, 48P identifies the 48-port PoE+ copper configuration, 4X identifies the SFP+ uplinks, and E identifies Network Essentials.

How is C9300L-48P-4X-E managed?

C9300L-48P-4X-E is managed through CLI and WebUI with Network Essentials. Local device configuration can use console or SSH CLI, while Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA subscriptions add Catalyst Center. Catalyst 9300 Series switches can also be migrated to Meraki dashboard monitoring and management with supported configuration-source choices.

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

Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300L. C9300L-48P-4X-E remains a current fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L hardware SKU, so no last ship date or last date of support applies to the switch hardware. Software release lifecycle notices should still be tracked separately.

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

ORM offers new sealed and certified refurbished C9300L-48P-4X-E. Cisco coverage is Enhanced Limited Lifetime; ORM provides up to 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply.

Which licenses are required for C9300L-48P-4X-E?

C9300L-48P-4X-E includes the perpetual Network Essentials stack tied to the hardware. A Cisco Catalyst Essentials or Cisco DNA Essentials subscription term is selected at purchase for 3, 5 or 7 years, and the order requires a Smart Account. Network Advantage requires a license upgrade or the C9300L-48P-4X-A hardware SKU.

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

C9300L-48P-4X-E is named as the replacement for WS-C3650-48PD-L and WS-C3650-48PQ-L. Both older Catalyst 3650 models are 48-port PoE LAN Base switches, with the first using 2x10G uplinks and the second using 4x10G uplinks, so uplink mapping should be checked during refresh planning.

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

C9300L-48P-4X-E provides 505W of available PoE power with the default PWR-C1-715WAC-P supply. The budget is shared across 48 PoE+ ports. Since 48 ports at 30W equals 1440W, designs requiring all ports at full PoE+ need secondary power supply sizing before purchase.

Can C9300L-48P-4X-E be stacked?

Yes, C9300L-48P-4X-E supports StackWise-320 stacking with up to eight members. Use C9300L-STACK-KIT2 with STACK-T3A-50CM, STACK-T3A-1M or STACK-T3A-3M cables. Catalyst 9300L fixed-uplink models stack with Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM models at the same license level, not with modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 or Catalyst 3650 switches.

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

Yes, C9300L-48P-4X-E supports Layer 3 routed access under Network Essentials. The tier includes RIP, EIGRP Stub, OSPF up to 1000 routes, PBR, PIM Stub Multicast up to 1000 routes and VRRP. BGP, IS-IS, VXLAN, LISP and larger advanced routing capabilities require Network Advantage.

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

C9300L-48P-4X-E supplies PoE+ on 48 1G copper access ports, while C9300L-48T-4X-E is the data-only 48-port model with the same fixed 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and Network Essentials. Choose C9300L-48P-4X-E for powered endpoints and C9300L-48T-4X-E where access ports do not need inline power.

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

C9300L-48P-4X-A carries Network Advantage, while C9300L-48P-4X-E carries Network Essentials. The 48-port PoE+ access hardware and fixed 4x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks match. C9300L-48P-4X-E suits routed-access Essentials deployments; C9300L-48P-4X-A suits buyers needing the Advantage feature set.

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

C9300L-48P-4X-E has four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, while C9300L-48P-4G-E has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. Both are 48-port 1G copper PoE+ Network Essentials Catalyst 9300L switches. Choose C9300L-48P-4X-E for 10G uplinks and C9300L-48P-4G-E for 1G uplink designs.
