C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E combines 12 Multigigabit copper access ports with 36 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a Layer 3 enterprise access switch. The Multigigabit interfaces support 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G connections, while the remaining copper interfaces support 10M, 100M, and 1G. Two fixed 40G QSFP uplinks provide the distribution connections without a removable uplink card. All access ports support Cisco UPOE for powered endpoints such as wireless access points, IP phones, and building-management gateways. The Cisco Catalyst 9300L uses a rack-mount 1U chassis with a fixed-uplink architecture. Network Essentials supplies the included network tier for foundational switching and routed access. C9300L-48UXG-2Q-A retains the same copper and uplink configuration but includes Network Advantage for requirements beyond the Essentials feature set.
C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E price for new stock is $14,986.65, a 13.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $17,318.00. C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E refurb price is $5,449.50. C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

472 Gbps switching capacity establishes the standalone forwarding bandwidth, while 351.19 Mpps forwarding rate specifies packet-processing throughput. 675W of shared PoE power requires endpoint allocation to remain within the available budget supplied by the default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P. OSPF supports up to 1000 routes under Network Essentials; Static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub, PBR, and VRRP cover additional routed-access requirements. PIM Stub supports up to 1000 multicast routes. BGP and full EIGRP are not included in this network tier. C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E has 8 GB of DRAM and 16 GB of flash for its control software and stored images. Hardware IPv4 capacity totals 32000 routes, including 24000 direct and 8000 indirect routes, without overriding individual license limits. Within the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series, UADP 2.0 provides the forwarding silicon, and a 32000-entry MAC table accommodates learned Ethernet addresses. MACsec-128 is included in the base feature set for link encryption.
ORM Systems supplies C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E new sealed and certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at its rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configuration is wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, software entitlements, and order quantity on the PO; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply.

A large university implements the Cisco C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E Catalyst 9300L 48-port PoE+ switch with 12 multigigabit ports and dual 40 Gbps uplinks at its access layer. It powers high-density Wi-Fi 6 access points and IP cameras over PoE+, delivers up to 10 Gbps per port to aggregation, and provides non-blocking connectivity to the core. Administrators gain centralized visibility and policy enforcement via Cisco DNA Center, while students and staff enjoy 50% higher throughput and seamless roaming.
A national retail chain deploys the Catalyst 9300L-48UXG-2Q-E at each store to consolidate digital signage, POS terminals, security cameras and Wi-Fi access on a single fabric. The 48 PoE+ ports supply up to 30 W per device, the 12 multigigabit ports aggregate high-bandwidth multimedia traffic, and the dual 40 Gbps uplinks connect to regional data centers. This deployment yields 30% lower network latency, automated VLAN segmentation with Cisco TrustSec, and faster rollout of promotional services—all managed centrally for consistent customer experience.
A smart manufacturing facility uses the C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E as its primary switch for robotics, high-speed sensors and IP cameras. Twelve multigigabit ports handle critical machine-to-machine traffic at up to 10 Gbps, while 48 PoE+ ports power IoT gateways. Dual 40 Gbps uplinks ensure deterministic bandwidth to the control center. By enforcing Cisco’s zero trust microsegmentation and automated threat containment, the plant achieves sub-millisecond failover, enhanced OT reliability and full compliance audit trails.
When replacing discontinued WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L, C1-WS3650-48UR/K9, or C1-WS3650-48UZ/K9 hardware, this model is the named replacement. Those predecessors reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and support ends October 31, 2026. Before the PO, reconcile existing uplink connections, software entitlements, and stacking accessories against the replacement configuration.
When several branches require separate license administration, Smart Account virtual accounts can organize entitlements by department, area, or location. Licenses can be pooled within virtual accounts, with role-based access delegated to administrators. Before ordering the hardware and software together, specify the destination account and the administrators responsible for entitlement allocation.
When a spare-hardware purchase must cover operations across several regions, ORM Systems provides stock and RMA coverage in the UK, EU, US, and MEA. Match the spare by its full manufacturer part number rather than a family name alone. Specify the receiving region, condition, and spare quantity on the PO.
BGP or full EIGRP routing
Network Essentials excludes BGP and full EIGRP. C9300L-48UXG-2Q-A retains the hardware configuration while adding Network Advantage for buyers who require those routing features.
More than twelve Multigigabit downlinks
Only 12 of the 48 copper access ports support Multigigabit speeds; the other 36 operate at Gigabit Ethernet or lower speeds. Endpoint placement must remain within that fixed mix.
Swappable uplink network cards
The two 40G QSFP uplinks are fixed, with no uplink network-module bay. Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink models provide removable network cards instead of this fixed-uplink architecture.

C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E identifies a fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L switch: C9300L is the family, 48 is the copper access-port count, UXG combines UPOE with 12 Multigigabit ports and 36 Gigabit ports, 2Q denotes two 40G QSFP uplinks, and E selects Network Essentials. The uplinks are built in, not removable network modules.
C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E is managed through the embedded WebUI or Cisco IOS XE CLI over local console or SSH; Cisco Catalyst Center provides centralized management with the appropriate subscription. SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 support monitoring. The embedded web interface can configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the device without a separate interface license.
C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E carries perpetual Network Essentials. Subscription paths include Cisco DNA Essentials or Cisco DNA Advantage, Cisco Catalyst Essentials or Cisco Catalyst Advantage, and Cisco Networking Subscription with Cisco Switching Essentials or Cisco Switching Advantage. Minimum terms are three years or 36 months. New orders require Smart Account allocation and subscriptions matched to the applicable network entitlement.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300L. Separate accessory discontinuances do not establish an end-of-sale date for C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E hardware. Keep the chassis lifecycle separate from the chosen stacking kit and its service milestones when planning a hardware purchase or replacement schedule.
675W is the shared C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E PoE budget with its default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, and UPOE supports 60W per powered port. Adding a second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P raises available PoE power to 1775W. Neither configuration allocates 60W to all 48 ports simultaneously; size against combined endpoint ratings rather than port count alone.
Yes, C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E supports StackWise-320 with eight members and 320 Gbps stacking bandwidth. C9300L-STACK-KIT2 includes two stack adapters and STACK-T3A-50CM; STACK-T3A-1M and STACK-T3A-3M provide longer cable options. Catalyst 9300L and 9300LM stack partners must use matching network license levels. Modular-uplink Catalyst 9300 models cannot join that stack.
PWR-C1-1100WAC-P is the default internal AC supply for C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E; a second internal power supply is optional rather than included in the standard base configuration. The supply requires 115-240V AC. A second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P can be purchased with the switch or added later, with endpoint allocation checked for the intended redundancy arrangement.
Network Essentials enables Layer 3 routed access on C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E with Static routing, RIP, EIGRP Stub, OSPF up to 1000 routes, PBR, VRRP, and PIM Stub up to 1000 multicast routes. BGP and full EIGRP require Network Advantage. The 32000-route IPv4 hardware total does not override the Essentials OSPF limit.
Two fixed 40G QSFP ports are the C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E uplinks; there is no uplink network-module bay to populate. This Catalyst 9300L configuration uses built-in interfaces rather than removable uplink cards. Optical connections must match the remote interface and fiber type, so the intended 40G connections belong in the hardware purchase specification.
C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E replaces the discontinued WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L, C1-WS3650-48UR/K9, and C1-WS3650-48UZ/K9. Those predecessors reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and their last date of support is October 31, 2026. Their retirement dates belong to Catalyst 3650 hardware; the replacement needs its own uplink, software, and stacking selections.
C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E delivers Cisco UPOE with 60W per-port support, while C9300L-48PF-4X-E delivers PoE+ with 30W per-port support. The shared supply budget still governs combined endpoint allocation. The UPOE model addresses endpoints above the PoE+ ceiling; the PoE+ model serves endpoints that remain within 30W per port.
C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E includes Network Essentials, whereas C9300L-48UXG-2Q-A includes Network Advantage. Advantage adds BGP, full EIGRP, and advanced routing that Essentials excludes; Essentials supports routed access with a capped OSPF implementation. Essentials fits limited routed-access requirements, while Advantage serves purchases that require those advanced routing entitlements on otherwise matching hardware.
C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E uses two fixed 40G QSFP uplinks, whereas C9300L-48UXG-4X-E uses four fixed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks. Uplink selection changes the connector format and link speeds available for distribution connections. The 2Q model serves 40G attachments; the 4X model serves buyers needing more individual 10G or 1G uplink connections.
ORM Systems offers C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E new sealed or certified refurbished. New orders carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty; certified refurbished orders carry up to 1 year. Both conditions have 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty is limited to original customer ownership and five years after manufacturing discontinuance; ORM coverage is separate.
