C9300L-48T-4X-E is a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 48 Gigabit copper data ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. Network Essentials provides the included perpetual network tier, while the 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Catalyst 9300L series. The data-only interfaces connect endpoints that receive power independently of the Ethernet cable. C9300L-48P-4X-E provides PoE+ instead, separating endpoint-power requirements from the data-only purchase. Within the Catalyst 9000 family, this configuration keeps the uplink interface fixed rather than requiring a removable network card. The purchase specification therefore needs separate access-cabling and uplink-media selections, with compatible optics chosen for the intended link speed, fiber type and reach.
C9300L-48T-4X-E price for new stock is $3,371.55, a 63.6% saving from the Cisco list price of $9,266.00. C9300L-48T-4X-E refurb price is $2,583.00. C9300L-48T-4X-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity and 130.95 Mpps forwarding rate define the standalone forwarding envelope for aggregate access traffic. OSPF supports up to 1000 routes under Network Essentials; Static, RIP, EIGRP Stub, PBR, VRRP and PIM Stub provide additional routed-access capabilities without BGP or full EIGRP. The IPv4 hardware total is 32000 routes, including ARP entries, and must remain distinct from the license-specific OSPF limit. C9300L-48T-4X-E carries 8 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash for software execution and local image storage. A 16 MB packet buffer holds queued traffic during bursts, while the 32000-entry MAC table accommodates learned Layer 2 destinations. Cisco IOS XE manages forwarding through the Cisco UADP 2.0 ASIC. 88.72W measured draw at 115V AC and full traffic provides a tested power-loading reference; the rating of PWR-C1-350WAC-P is not switch consumption.

In a 300-user regional branch office, IT deploys the Catalyst 9300L-48T-4X-E as the access switch for 48 PoE devices (IP phones, workstations, Wi-Fi APs) with four 10 Gb uplinks to the campus distribution layer. This setup delivers seamless VoIP and data services, simplifies switch stacking, and accelerates configuration via Cisco DNA Center. Benefit: Scalable, resilient edge connectivity that reduces downtime by 40% and accelerates deployment cycles by 50%.
A mid-size data center uses the Catalyst 9300L-48T-4X-E to aggregate 48 server links and provide four dedicated 10 Gb uplinks to core routers. Integrated QoS and link-state tracking ensure low-latency East-West traffic and non-stop forwarding. With Cisco StackPower, power resources are shared across switches for uninterrupted operations. Benefit: Up to 2× improvement in application throughput, 99.999% network availability, and simplified capacity planning.
In a smart-building deployment, facilities teams segment hundreds of IoT endpoints (sensors, cameras, badge readers) and guest Wi-Fi on separate VLANs using the Catalyst 9300L-48T-4X-E. Enforcement of Cisco Identity-Based Networking Services (IBNS) and basic network-access control under the Data Network Essentials license isolates devices and prevents lateral threats. Benefit: Microsegmentation that cuts breach risk by 60% while ensuring policy compliance and centralized management.
An estate containing discontinued WS-C3650-48TD-L or WS-C3650-48TQ-L has a named migration path to this model. Both older PIDs ended sale October 31, 2021, and reach last support October 31, 2026. Before issuing the refresh PO, check the existing port mapping, selected software entitlements and proposed accessory reuse.
A staging purchase intended to validate software features can use the 90-day base and add-on evaluation period. An expired evaluation cannot be reactivated after reload, so the acceptance plan needs a defined endpoint. Specify production license entitlements and the evaluation completion date before the staging PO is released.
For a multi-site rollout, software ownership needs assignment before the hardware order is released. A Smart Account is mandatory for Catalyst 9300L purchases and provides a common license inventory. Specify the receiving account, responsible administrator and intended subscription term for each location before issuing the consolidated PO.
PoE+ power for connected endpoints
C9300L-48T-4X-E provides data-only access ports and cannot power endpoints. C9300L-48P-4X-E supplies PoE+ while retaining the 48-port copper configuration and fixed 10G uplink layout.
BGP or full EIGRP routing
Network Essentials excludes BGP and full EIGRP on C9300L-48T-4X-E. C9300L-48T-4X-A includes Network Advantage for these advanced routing requirements without changing the port configuration.

C9300L-48T-4X-E means Catalyst 9300L, 48 Gigabit copper data ports, four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks and Network Essentials. C9300L identifies the fixed-uplink family, 48 the access-port count, T the data-only configuration, 4X the uplinks and E the perpetual network license tier.
The Catalyst 9300L supports WebUI, local console and SSH CLI management, Cisco Catalyst Center, and Meraki dashboard management with supported software and subscriptions. Device-sourced cloud management retains local configuration and read/write Cloud CLI access; cloud-sourced management uses dashboard-delivered configuration and a read-only Cloud CLI.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300L. Software releases and accessories have separate lifecycle milestones; their retirement does not mean the switch chassis is discontinued. Required software and stack accessories need separate lifecycle consideration when preparing the hardware purchase.
New sealed and certified refurbished C9300L-48T-4X-E units have separate ORM coverage: up to 3-year extended warranty new, up to 1 year refurbished. Returns cover 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage is for the original owner, bounded to five years after discontinuance.
C9300L-48T-4X-E includes perpetual Network Essentials; new hardware purchases also require Cisco DNA Essentials or Cisco Catalyst Essentials, minimum three years. Both subscription families offer Advantage with Network Advantage. Meraki Enterprise or Advanced requires separate software and at least one year. Add-on expiration leaves the perpetual network tier available after deactivation and reload.
C9300L-48T-4X-E replaces WS-C3650-48TD-L and WS-C3650-48TQ-L, both discontinued with end-of-sale October 31, 2021. Their last date of support is October 31, 2026. A refresh order needs the exact predecessor identified before existing port mapping, software requirements and proposed accessory reuse are reviewed.
C9300L-48P-4X-E supplies PoE+ on its access ports, while C9300L-48T-4X-E provides data connectivity without endpoint power. Endpoint power requirements distinguish these models. The data-only model suits independently powered equipment; the PoE+ model suits purchases that must deliver power and network connectivity through the access cable.
C9300L-48T-4X-E includes Network Essentials, whereas C9300L-48T-4X-A includes Network Advantage. The difference is the perpetual network license rather than the physical port arrangement. Essentials suits routed-access requirements within its feature limits; Advantage suits buyers requiring the broader advanced-routing and segmentation feature set.
C9300L-48T-4X-E carries four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, while C9300L-48T-4G-E carries four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The distribution connection speed separates these purchases. The 4X model suits a 10G uplink requirement; the 4G model suits an order specifying Gigabit uplink connections.
StackWise-320 stacks eight Catalyst 9300L members using optional C9300L-STACK-KIT2 adapters and dedicated cables. C9300L-STACK-KIT2 includes STACK-T3A-50CM; STACK-T3A-1M and STACK-T3A-3M provide longer links. Stack partners must use the same network license level, and modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 models cannot join this fixed-uplink stack.
