C9300X-48HX-E provides 10G-capable Multigigabit copper access on all 48 downlinks, rather than reserving the higher rate for a subset of ports. This managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch belongs to the Catalyst 9300X series and connects campus endpoints that need data connectivity and Cisco UPOE+ power through the same connection. Its modular uplink architecture leaves the network-module selection to the order configuration rather than supplying fixed fiber uplinks. Network Essentials provides the perpetual network feature tier for routed access without the advanced routing capabilities of Network Advantage. The data-only C9300X-48TX-E removes endpoint power while retaining the same access-port density. The full-width chassis occupies 1U, making rack space, cable access, and active cooling part of the installation requirements.
C9300X-48HX-E price for new stock is $8,529.15, a 53.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $18,407.00. C9300X-48HX-E refurb price is $7,728.00. C9300X-48HX-E is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

1760 Gbps switching capacity defines the switching bandwidth available for access and supported uplink configurations. 1309 Mpps forwarding rate describes packet throughput measured with 64-byte IPv4 packets, distinguishing packet-processing capacity from aggregate bandwidth. 590W of shared PoE capacity requires allocation across connected powered devices rather than assuming maximum power on every port. OSPF supports 1000 routes under Network Essentials; Static, RIP, EIGRP Stub, PBR, VRRP, and PIM Stub provide additional routed-access functions. C9300X-48HX-E carries 16 GB DRAM for runtime operation and 16 GB flash for software-image storage. A 32 MB packet buffer provides queued-packet storage, while the MAC table accommodates 32000 entries. The total IPv4 hardware scale is 39000 routes, including 24000 direct and 15000 indirect routes; that total does not remove the included tier's OSPF limit. Local console, SSH CLI, and WebUI access provide device-level administration. BGP and full EIGRP are not included in the supplied network tier.

C9300X-48HX-E sits in the access closet and terminates copper runs from Wi-Fi 6E access points, high-performance workstations, cameras, phones, and other powered endpoints. The switch presents 48 10GBASE-T multigigabit ports with Cisco UPOE+ power, while Network Essentials carries the base switching image for VLANs, trunks, routed interfaces, QoS, and operational monitoring. Engineers reserve the modular uplink slot for the selected C9300X network module. The result is a powered access edge that keeps endpoint speed increases inside the existing copper plant.
The switch operates at the access tier and hands aggregated endpoint traffic northbound through a separately selected Catalyst 9300X network module. Engineers match C9300X-NM-8M, C9300X-NM-8Y, C9300X-NM-2C, or C9300X-NM-4C uplinks to the distribution design, then place trunks, routed links, or EtherChannel according to the campus topology. C9300X-48HX-E keeps 48 powered 10G multigigabit access ports separate from uplink selection. The result is a cleaner migration path from 10G access toward 25G, 40G, or 100G distribution.
C9300X-48HX-E joins compatible Catalyst 9300X switches in a StackWise-1T access block when a closet needs more high-speed powered copper ports under one control point. Each member contributes 48 10G multigigabit UPOE+ ports, while the stack presents shared management, coordinated uplinks, cross-stack EtherChannel options, and StackPower+ planning. Engineers align IOS XE versions, stack cables, power supplies, and uplink modules before adding members. The result is denser access expansion with fewer independent switch control planes to administer.
When adding a member to an existing Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink stack, mixed Catalyst 9300X and Catalyst 9300 operation uses StackWise-480 rather than StackWise-1T speeds. Review the installed member inventory and the resulting 480 Gbps stack design before specifying expansion quantities and the required interconnect arrangement.
When replacing powered endpoints that must remain energized during a switch reload, Perpetual PoE maintains endpoint power while software restarts. Fast PoE also delivers power before the operating system finishes loading after power returns. Specify the reload and power-restoration behaviors to demonstrate during staging before approving the hardware purchase.
When a refresh consolidates VLAN gateways onto the access switch, 1000 switched virtual interfaces define the interface scale to check before ordering. Build the gateway inventory separately from the routing-protocol requirement, then identify the necessary network license and the intended interface configuration on the purchase order.
BGP or full EIGRP routing
C9300X-48HX-E excludes BGP and full EIGRP from Network Essentials. C9300X-48HX-A supplies Network Advantage on the same access-port configuration for requirements needing those routing capabilities.
Fanless cooling in occupied spaces
C9300X-48HX-E uses three FAN-T2= fans and is not fanless. A purchase specification requiring passive cooling needs a different chassis rather than this actively cooled rack-mounted switch.
Membership in a fixed-uplink stack
C9300X-48HX-E cannot stack with Catalyst 9300L or Catalyst 9300LM members. Existing fixed-uplink stacks cannot accept this modular-uplink chassis as an additional data-stack member.

C9300X-48HX-E identifies a Catalyst 9300X switch: C9300X is the hardware family, 48 is the copper access-port count, HX denotes the 10G/Multigigabit UPOE+ configuration, and E selects Network Essentials. The uplinks use an optional network module rather than a fixed-speed uplink code.
C9300X-48HX-E supports local console and SSH CLI access, a WebUI, Cisco Catalyst Center management, and Meraki dashboard monitoring or management with the corresponding software configuration. Cloud management with IOS XE can keep configuration on the device or make the cloud its configuration source. Select the management and licensing paths together.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300X. C9300X-48HX-E procurement can therefore be specified without an announced hardware end-of-sale date. Keep hardware lifecycle planning separate from the lifecycle of the selected software release, subscriptions, and optional accessories when preparing the purchase order.
ORM Systems offers C9300X-48HX-E new sealed with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year ORM warranty. Returns cover 30 days in every condition; terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty covers the original owner and is limited to five years following a discontinuance announcement.
C9300X-48HX-E includes perpetual Network Essentials and requires subscription selection for new configurations. Cisco DNA and Cisco Catalyst offer Essentials or Advantage with three-year minimums. Cisco Networking Subscription offers Cisco Switching Essentials or Advantage from 36 months. Meraki Enterprise or Advanced starts at one year after migration. Smart Account assignment is required for new Cisco configurations.
590W of shared PoE capacity ships with C9300X-48HX-E and one PWR-C1-1100WAC-P; two PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supplies provide 1690W. Individual UPOE+ ports support 90W, subject to the available pool. Perpetual PoE maintains power during switch reloads, while Fast PoE starts endpoint power before operating-system loading finishes after power returns.
Catalyst 9300X supports C9300X-NM-8M for eight 10G Multigigabit ports, C9300X-NM-8Y for eight 25G/10G/1G fiber ports, and C9300X-NM-2C for two 100G/40G ports. C9300X-48HX-E also accepts C9300X-NM-4C for four 100G/40G ports. Specify the required module and compatible optics separately; the base switch has no installed uplink module.
Catalyst 9300X forms eight-member StackWise-1T stacks using STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M, or STACK-T1-3M cables. Stack members must use the same license level. Mixed Catalyst 9300 stacks operate at StackWise-480 speeds; Catalyst 9300L, Catalyst 9300LM, and higher-scale Catalyst 9300 members cannot join this stack.
Yes, C9300X-48HX-E supports Static, RIP, EIGRP Stub, and OSPF with a 1000-route OSPF limit under Network Essentials. PBR, VRRP, and PIM Stub are included, and the interface scale supports 1000 SVIs. BGP and full EIGRP require Network Advantage rather than the included tier.
C9300X-48HX-E includes one PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply in its base configuration, with a second internal power-supply bay available for optional redundancy. A second PWR-C1-1100WAC-P must be included in the order to create that two-supply configuration. Confirm the populated bays and the selected regional power cord before approving the purchase order.
C9300X-48HX-E provides UPOE+ endpoint power, whereas C9300X-48TX-E is data-only. Both carry 48 10G-capable Multigigabit copper access ports and modular uplinks with Network Essentials. Choose C9300X-48HX-E for powered endpoints; C9300X-48TX-E suits endpoints receiving power independently of their Ethernet connection.
C9300X-48HX-A includes Network Advantage, while C9300X-48HX-E includes Network Essentials. The Advantage tier adds BGP and full EIGRP; Essentials retains OSPF with a 1000-route limit. Both use the same 48-port UPOE+ hardware. C9300X-48HX-E suits limited routed access; C9300X-48HX-A suits deployments requiring the advanced routing tier.
C9300X-48HX-E has 48 Multigigabit UPOE+ access ports, while C9300X-24HX-E has 24. Both use modular uplinks and Network Essentials, so this comparison concerns endpoint density rather than the software tier. C9300X-48HX-E suits a larger endpoint inventory; C9300X-24HX-E suits installations requiring fewer physical access connections.
C9300X-48HX-E supports 1760 Gbps switching capacity and 1309 Mpps forwarding, increasing to 2760 Gbps switching capacity when stacked. Forwarding is measured using 64-byte IPv4 packets. A 32 MB packet buffer provides queued-packet storage, while 16 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash serve runtime and image storage.
Yes, C9300X-48HX-E occupies 1U and measures 44 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 560 mm deep with its default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P installed. The assembled weight is 6.62 kg. Allow room beyond the installed depth for power, uplink, and stacking cable connections when specifying the rack.
