C9300L-48PF-4G-E is a Layer 3 enterprise access switch pairing 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports with four fixed 1G SFP uplinks and a 1100W PWR-C1-1100WAC-P primary supply. The Catalyst 9300L model occupies 1U in a rack and includes Network Essentials for campus and branch access. Its uplinks are built into the chassis, without a removable network-module bay for changing their speed. Copper access connections carry endpoint data and deliver power to compatible powered devices. The nearest lower-power sibling, C9300L-48P-4G-E, has a 505W single-supply PoE allocation. The distinction is the standard endpoint power allowance, not a change in access-port speed, uplink speed, or network licensing. This configuration keeps Gigabit uplinks while increasing the power available from the standard supply.
C9300L-48PF-4G-E price for new stock is $4,911.90, a 52.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $10,381.00. C9300L-48PF-4G-E refurb price is $4,215.83. C9300L-48PF-4G-E is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

104 Gbps switching capacity and 77.38 Mpps forwarding rate define standalone packet handling; stacked switching capacity reaches 424 Gbps. 890W of shared PoE power supports endpoint allocations, with 1440W available when a second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P is fitted. OSPF supports 1000 routes under the included license, alongside Static, RIP, EIGRP Stub, PBR, VRRP, and PIM Stub multicast with a 1000-route limit; full BGP routing is not enabled. C9300L-48PF-4G-E uses UADP 2.0 forwarding silicon, 8 GB of DRAM, and 16 GB of flash for Cisco IOS XE and device operations. This Catalyst 9000 family member has a 16 MB packet buffer for transient queues. Hardware IPv4 capacity totals 32000 ARP plus learned routes, comprising 24000 direct and 8000 indirect entries, distinct from the OSPF license cap. StackWise-320 stacks eight members with 320 Gbps stacking bandwidth. Local WebUI and CLI over SSH provide device configuration. Three FAN-T2= fans provide active cooling. A measured 1082.14W at 115V AC under full PoE loading informs input-power planning.

In a 1,000-user corporate campus, the C9300L-48PF-4G-E delivers 740W of PoE+ to power 48 Wi-Fi 6 access points and IP phones over a single switch. This simplifies infrastructure, ensures line-rate 1G uplinks, and scales wireless capacity by 40% while maintaining enterprise-grade QoS, security segmentation, and redundant uplinks for zero-downtime connectivity.
A multinational branch office deploys 48 PoE+ IP phones and HD video endpoints directly from the Catalyst 9300L-48PF-4G-E. Leveraging Cisco Unified Communications integration and 4×1G uplink redundancy, the switch guarantees predictable latency, VLAN-based voice-data separation, and automatic power budgeting. The outcome: 99.99% call reliability, simplified provisioning, and a 30% reduction in rack space.
In a large mixed-use facility, facility managers use the C9300L-48PF-4G-E to power 48 IP cameras, door controllers, environmental sensors, and badge readers. The switch’s IEEE 802.3bt readiness, TrustSec segmentation, and 4×1G uplinks enable real-time analytics, edge-based security policies, and centralized management. Benefits include 24/7 surveillance uptime, streamlined device onboarding, and a 25% cut in operational costs.
An estate retiring the discontinued WS-C3650-48FS-L has a named migration to C9300L-48PF-4G-E. The older switch stopped selling on October 31, 2021, and reaches its last date of support on October 31, 2026. Before the PO, inventory existing connections and confirm replacement optics, endpoint allocations, and software entitlements.
An endpoint refresh combining powered devices with different electrical requirements needs per-device sizing rather than a port-count assumption. PoE+ permits 30W per powered port, but aggregate allocation remains shared. Establish each endpoint's peak requirement and specify the required PWR-C1-1100WAC-P quantity before issuing the purchase order.
Equipment staged in an unheated room needs a startup-temperature check before acceptance testing. The Catalyst 9300L requires at least 0°C ambient for a cold start, distinct from its normal operating range. Specify a suitable powered staging location and include the acceptance-test sequence with the purchase order before scheduling deployment.
10G uplinks to distribution
Four fixed 1G SFP uplinks limit this model's uplink speed. C9300L-48PF-4X-E provides four 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks while retaining 48 copper PoE+ access ports.
BGP or full EIGRP routing
Network Essentials excludes BGP and full EIGRP. C9300L-48PF-4G-A supplies Network Advantage for those routing requirements without changing the fixed 1G uplink configuration.

C9300L-48PF-4G-E identifies a Catalyst 9300L switch with 48 Gigabit copper PoE+ ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, and Network Essentials. C9300L identifies the family; 48 counts access ports; PF identifies the PoE+ hardware configuration; 4G identifies four Gigabit SFP uplinks; E selects the Network Essentials license.
C9300L-48PF-4G-E supports local console access, CLI over SSH, embedded WebUI, and Cisco Catalyst Center with the appropriate subscription. WebUI comes with the default image and requires no additional license. Specify the intended management method and associated software entitlement when preparing the hardware order.
C9300L-48PF-4G-E provides an 890W shared PoE budget with its standard PWR-C1-1100WAC-P. Each powered port supports 30W PoE+, but 48 ports at 30W require 1440W, exceeding the single-supply allocation. A second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P raises the available budget to 1440W; specify supply quantity against total endpoint demand.
Eight switches can form a Catalyst 9300L StackWise-320 stack with 320 Gbps stacking bandwidth. Members must use matching license levels and compatible Catalyst 9300L or 9300LM hardware. C9300L-STACK-KIT2 includes two adapters and STACK-T3A-50CM; STACK-T3A-1M and STACK-T3A-3M provide longer cable options for the same kit.
Yes, C9300L-48PF-4G-E supports Layer 3 routed access through Network Essentials, including OSPF with a 1000-route limit, RIP, EIGRP Stub, and static routing. PBR, VRRP, and PIM Stub multicast are also included. BGP and full EIGRP require Network Advantage rather than the as-shipped Essentials license.
C9300L-48PF-4G-E includes perpetual Network Essentials. Cisco DNA Essentials and Cisco Catalyst Essentials require at least three years; Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco Catalyst Advantage accompany Network Advantage. Cisco Networking Subscription offers Cisco Switching Essentials and Cisco Switching Advantage with a 36-month minimum. New hardware orders require subscription selection and a Smart Account.
C9300L-48PF-4G-E replaces the discontinued WS-C3650-48FS-L. The older model's end-of-sale date was October 31, 2021, and its last date of support is October 31, 2026. Treat replacement as a hardware migration: confirm uplink optics, endpoint power demand, and new license entitlements rather than assuming the older software tier transfers.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300L. C9300L-48PF-4G-E has no announced switch-hardware retirement milestone to place on the order. Lifecycle announcements for software releases or stacking accessories concern those items separately and do not establish an end-of-sale date for the switch hardware.
C9300L-48PF-4G-E provides 890W of single-supply PoE power, compared with 505W on C9300L-48P-4G-E. The distinction changes the standard endpoint-power allocation rather than the port configuration or network license. The PF model suits a larger aggregate powered-device requirement; the P model suits an endpoint allocation within its lower budget.
C9300L-48PF-4G-E includes Network Essentials, while C9300L-48PF-4G-A includes Network Advantage. Essentials supports routed access with OSPF capped at 1000 routes and EIGRP Stub; Advantage adds advanced routing such as BGP and full EIGRP. Choose the E model for Essentials-level requirements and the A model when advanced routing is required.
C9300L-48PF-4X-E provides four 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, whereas C9300L-48PF-4G-E has four 1G SFP uplinks. Both use fixed uplink hardware, so a network module cannot convert one configuration into the other. Select the 4G model for Gigabit distribution connections and the 4X model when uplinks require 10G operation.
No, C9300L-48PF-4G-E ships with one PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, with a second internal supply available as an option. Specify a second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P when redundant internal AC power is required. The standard PWR-C1-1100WAC-P uses 115-240V AC input; include the required supply quantity explicitly on the purchase order.
ORM Systems offers C9300L-48PF-4G-E 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. Returns cover every condition for 30 days; terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty covers original ownership, limited to five years after discontinuance is announced.
