C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E Use Case
Enterprise Campus Multigigabit Access Layer Modernization
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.
Retail Chain Converged Network for Digital Transformation
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.
Industrial IoT and Zero Trust Segmentation in Manufacturing
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.
