C9300X-48HX-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300X managed Layer 3 access switch built around dense 10G multigigabit copper and 90W Cisco UPOE+ endpoint power. It provides 48 fixed 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBase-T RJ-45 ports, an empty modular uplink bay, AC power, and a 1U rack-mount chassis in the Cisco Catalyst 9300X series. The hardware targets access designs that need copper links above 1G while retaining RJ-45 cabling and switch-delivered power for modern endpoint fleets. This makes the base unit a high-density access switch rather than a fixed-uplink appliance. The uplink bay accepts Catalyst 9300X network module options for 10G/1G multigigabit, 25G/10G/1G SFP28, and 100G/40G QSFP uplinks; the module is selected separately for the distribution design. C9300X-48HX-A is the closest license sibling, using the same 48-port 10G/mGig UPOE+ hardware with Network Advantage instead of the Network Essentials image supplied on this SKU.
1,760 Gbps switching capacity supports high-density access traffic across all fixed multigigabit ports. 1,309 Mpps forwarding rate keeps packet handling aligned with 10GBase-T endpoint bursts, while 2,760 Gbps stacked switching capacity and 2,232 Mpps stacked forwarding support larger access blocks. 590W shared PoE budget gives network teams a defined default allocation for UPOE+ endpoints, with 90W per-port capability planned against the installed power supplies rather than assumed across every port at once. C9300X-48HX-E carries 16 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash, 32 MB packet buffering for the 48-port 10G multigigabit class, 32,000 MAC addresses, 4,094 VLAN IDs, 1,000 SVIs, 9,198-byte jumbo frames, and 39,000 IPv4 routes. The route, VLAN, buffer, and memory profile keeps the switch focused on campus access scale rather than chassis aggregation. Layer 3 operation is therefore scoped to the documented Network Essentials package. STP/RSTP/MSTP, LACP, VLAN trunks, routed interfaces, QoS, and monitoring scale position the platform for managed access designs under Network Essentials.
C9300X-48HX-E fits enterprise access closets that connect Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, high-performance workstations, IP phones, cameras, badge readers, collaboration endpoints, and other copper devices before handing traffic to distribution through the chosen C9300X uplink module. StackWise-1T stacking supports eight-member logical switch designs, and the 1U rack footprint keeps each access member aligned with standard wiring-room rack layouts. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished for projects that need matched access switches, power supplies, modules, optics, and stack accessories. Certified refurbished units are tested for boot status, management access, port operation, PoE delivery, fan health, power supply status, and physical condition before dispatch. Request pricing from ORM Systems for single-site refreshes, staged rollouts, or enterprise volume orders where consistent SKU sourcing and accessory matching matter across multiple closets. For volume buyers, ORM Systems aligns condition, warranty, and accessory availability before quote completion.

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.

C9300X-48HX-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9300X stackable managed access switch with 48 10GBASE-T multigigabit copper ports, 90W Cisco UPOE+, modular uplink support, and Network Essentials licensing. It suits high-density access closets that need high-speed copper handoff and powered endpoints without moving to a chassis switch.
C9300X identifies the Catalyst 9300X family, 48 indicates 48 access ports, HX identifies the 48-port 10G multigigabit UPOE+ hardware variant, and E indicates the Network Essentials software tier. The SKU therefore describes both the physical switch hardware and the bundled Cisco network license level.
C9300X-48HX-E is a managed Ethernet switch, not a standalone router or wireless access point. It sits in the Catalyst 9300X access switching family and connects wired clients, Wi-Fi access points, phones, cameras, and upstream distribution links through separately selected Catalyst 9300X network modules.
C9300X-48HX-E sits above standard Catalyst 9300 copper access switches where 10G multigigabit ports, 90W UPOE+, StackWise-1T, and higher performance are required. It remains an access-layer switch, but it targets denser and faster endpoint environments than 1G Catalyst 9300 or fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L models.
C9300X-48HX-E provides 48 copper access ports supporting 10GBASE-T multigigabit operation, including 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M speeds. The switch uses modular uplinks, so uplink ports are not fixed on the base unit and must be selected through a compatible Catalyst 9300X network module.
C9300X-48HX-E, based on the C9300X-48HX hardware, supports 1,760 Gbps switching capacity and 1,309 Mpps forwarding rate as a standalone switch. With StackWise-1T stacking, the platform reaches 2,760 Gbps switching capacity and 2,232 Mpps forwarding rate across the stack design.
C9300X-48HX-E supports Cisco UPOE+ at up to 90W per port on the 48-port 10G multigigabit hardware platform. Cisco power guidance for 48-port UPOE+ models specifies two 1100W AC power supplies or two 1900W AC power supplies for 90W Type 4 service on 21 ports.
C9300X-48HX-E ships with Network Essentials, the base Cisco network tier for Catalyst switching. The platform supports managed access switching functions such as VLANs, spanning tree, routed interfaces, SVIs, QoS, and monitoring features, while higher-tier automation, segmentation, and assurance functions are associated with Advantage licensing.
C9300X-48HX-E is managed as a Cisco Catalyst switch running Cisco IOS XE software and fitting Cisco Catalyst management workflows. Network teams normally configure it through CLI, templates, SNMP, syslog, NetFlow tooling, and Cisco Catalyst Center where licensing and architecture support that management model.
C9300X-48HX-E supports StackWise-1T as part of the Catalyst 9300X modular uplink family. Up to eight compatible C9300X switches can operate in a StackWise-1T stack using dedicated stack cables, giving operations teams one management plane and higher aggregate switching capacity across repeated access closets.
C9300X-48HX-E is used for high-speed campus access switching where endpoints require copper connectivity above 1G and power from the switch. Typical roles include access closets for Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E access points, high-performance workstations, compact edge devices, IP cameras, phones, and other powered network endpoints.
C9300X-48HX-E fits medium to large access environments that need dense 48-port copper switching with 10G multigigabit speeds and UPOE+ power. A single switch supports one high-capacity closet, while StackWise-1T designs extend the same model across multiple access blocks under a unified management approach.
C9300X-48HX-E suits workloads where wired access links, wireless backhaul, and endpoint power converge at the access layer. It is a strong fit for Wi-Fi 6E access point handoff, high-throughput desktop access, powered edge devices, copper uplink migration, and closets that need 10G-capable ports without replacing horizontal cabling.
C9300X-48HX-E works in stacked access deployments using StackWise-1T with compatible Catalyst 9300X switches. A stack lets operations teams manage multiple switches as one logical unit, coordinate uplinks through EtherChannel designs, and expand port density while keeping consistent VLAN, QoS, monitoring, and access policies.
C9300X-48HX-E uses Catalyst 9300X network modules rather than standard Catalyst 9300 modules. Compatible options include C9300X-NM-8M for 8x 10G/1G multigigabit, C9300X-NM-8Y for 8x 25G/10G/1G, C9300X-NM-2C for 2x 100G/40G, and C9300X-NM-4C for 4x 100G/40G uplinks.
C9300X-48HX-E integrates with Cisco Catalyst 9300X switching stacks, Catalyst distribution switches, Cisco IOS XE operational tooling, Cisco Catalyst Center, Cisco Identity Services Engine, SNMP managers, syslog collectors, and NetFlow analytics platforms. It also connects to Cisco access points and powered endpoints through copper multigigabit UPOE+ ports.
C9300X-48HX-E supports Ethernet access designs using 10GBASE-T multigigabit copper speeds, IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 power for UPOE+ operation, VLAN tagging, spanning tree, routed interfaces, EtherChannel, QoS, jumbo frames up to 9198 bytes, and monitoring workflows such as Flexible NetFlow where the software package supports them.
C9300X-48HX-E belongs to the Catalyst 9300 Series platform that supports dual redundant power supplies and field-replaceable fans. It also participates in StackPower+ designs with compatible Catalyst 9300X models, allowing power resources and redundancy planning to be coordinated across stacked access switches.
C9300X-48HX-E and C9300X-48HX-A use the same 48-port 10G multigigabit UPOE+ hardware platform with modular uplinks. The key difference is licensing: C9300X-48HX-E includes Network Essentials, while C9300X-48HX-A includes Network Advantage for environments that require the higher Cisco network software tier.
C9300X-48HX-E provides 48 10G multigigabit copper ports with Cisco UPOE+ power, while C9300X-48TX-E is the 48-port 10G multigigabit data-only model with Network Essentials. Buyers choose C9300X-48HX-E when powered access points, cameras, phones, or edge devices require switch-supplied power.
C9300X-48HX-E provides 48 10G multigigabit UPOE+ access ports. C9300X-48HXN-E provides 40 5G multigigabit ports plus 8 10G multigigabit ports with UPOE+ and Network Essentials. C9300X-48HX-E is the better match when every access port requires the 10G-capable copper profile.
C9300X-48HX-E doubles the access-port count compared with C9300X-24HX-E, while both belong to the 9300X 10G multigigabit UPOE+ family with modular uplinks and Network Essentials. C9300X-24HX-E fits smaller closets, while C9300X-48HX-E fits denser access blocks and larger powered endpoint groups.
C9300X-48HX-E pricing is usually requested by SKU, condition, quantity, required uplink module, power supply configuration, and support requirement. The base switch, network module, optics, stack cables, redundant power supply, and software subscriptions all affect the final quote for a new or refurbished procurement.
C9300X-48HX-E is commonly sourced by enterprise buyers in new, refurbished, or excess-stock channels depending on market supply. ORM Systems can quote the requested condition and identify whether the unit, uplink module, power supplies, and accessories are available together for the intended deployment.
C9300X-48HX-E appears in Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series ordering information as a Catalyst 9300X switch with Network Essentials. Buyers should still confirm production status, regional availability, and Cisco support eligibility at quotation time because lifecycle status and channel supply can change before a procurement is completed.
C9300X-48HX-E lead time depends on condition, quantity, region, accessory bundle, and whether compatible C9300X network modules or redundant power supplies are ordered with the switch. Refurbished units may move faster when available, while new configurations can require additional time for Cisco channel fulfilment.
Bulk pricing for C9300X-48HX-E is typically handled through a volume quotation rather than a single-unit web price. Quantity, condition, matched accessories, deployment deadline, and repeat-project demand all influence the commercial offer, especially when buyers need several switches, uplink modules, stack cables, and power supplies.
ORM Systems warranty options for C9300X-48HX-E depend on condition, availability, and the supplied configuration. Product-page metadata commonly references new and refurbished supply with up to a 3-year warranty, while final warranty terms should be confirmed on the quotation for the exact switch, modules, and accessories.
Refurbished C9300X-48HX-E units should be tested before dispatch for boot status, port operation, power supply health, fan condition, management access, and physical condition. For a complete deployment, testing should also cover the selected C9300X network module, stack accessories, and any optics supplied with the switch.
C9300X-48HX-E follows the Catalyst 9300 Series compliance profile, including electromagnetic compatibility standards such as 47 CFR Part 15, EN 55032 Class A, CISPR 32 Class A, and ICES-003 Class A, plus RoHS 5 environmental compliance. Buyers should match any project-specific certification requirement against Cisco documentation.
C9300X-48HX-E is normally staged through Cisco IOS XE with management IP addressing, administrator credentials, VLANs, trunks, access ports, PoE budgets, uplink module interfaces, logging, SNMP, and time settings. StackWise-1T deployments also require stack cabling, member numbering, software alignment, and planned reload windows before production cutover.
C9300X-48HX-E includes the Network Essentials network tier, but Cisco Catalyst and Cisco DNA subscription licensing may also be required for software support, updates, and management features. Feature expectations should be mapped to Essentials or Advantage before purchase, especially for automation, assurance, advanced telemetry, or segmentation requirements.
Common accessories for C9300X-48HX-E include a compatible Catalyst 9300X network module, transceivers, DACs, stack cables, StackPower cables, a second power supply, power cords, rack-mount hardware, and console access tools. The exact bundle depends on uplink speed, redundancy design, closet power budget, and migration schedule.
UK buyers can request C9300X-48HX-E from ORM Systems by SKU for a formal quote covering new or refurbished condition, lead time, warranty, uplink modules, power supplies, and accessory requirements. Providing the target quantity and deployment date helps align the quote with project procurement timelines.
ORM Systems can quote international fulfilment for C9300X-48HX-E subject to destination, stock source, export controls, courier availability, and configuration details.
