C9300X-48HXN-A combines eight 10G-capable copper access ports with forty 5G-capable copper access ports, all supporting Cisco UPOE+. This managed Layer 3 switch carries Network Advantage and uses a full-width 1U rack chassis. The Cisco Catalyst 9300X supports multigigabit connections for wireless access points and other powered enterprise endpoints without making every downlink a 10G port. An empty uplink bay accepts C9300X-NM-8M, C9300X-NM-8Y or C9300X-NM-2C; the base configuration has no installed uplink module. The closest license sibling, C9300X-48HXN-E, carries Network Essentials instead of Network Advantage. Within the Catalyst 9000 family, this configuration combines powered copper access with a separately selected uplink architecture and an advanced perpetual network license.
C9300X-48HXN-A price for new stock is $8,791.65, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $17,583.30. C9300X-48HXN-A refurb price is $4,194.75. C9300X-48HXN-A is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

960 Gbps switching capacity provides the standalone switching fabric, while 714.24 Mpps forwarding rate defines packet-processing throughput. 690W of shared PoE power is available with the default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, so endpoint allocations must fit the aggregate budget. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 support routed access under the included perpetual tier. C9300X-48HXN-A provides 16 GB of DRAM and 16 GB of flash for operating software and local storage. A separate 16 MB packet buffer accommodates queued traffic; it is not system memory. The IPv4 scale is 39000 total entries, comprising 24000 direct and 15000 indirect routes. 956.4W measured consumption represents the 115V AC test with full PoE loading, no traffic and no uplink module—not a universal maximum for every configuration. Network licensing remains perpetual when the separately purchased subscription term expires.
ORM Systems supplies C9300X-48HXN-A new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, including PoE output under load on every powered port, firmware verification and a configuration wipe to factory default. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty applies to the original owner and is limited to five years after discontinuance; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Specify condition, quantities and accessories on the PO for enterprise or volume orders; PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement are available, with regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA.

C9300X-48HXN-A sits in a campus access closet and terminates copper runs from Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E access points, cameras, displays, phones, and workstations. Engineers place higher-demand APs or local aggregators on the eight 10GBASE-T multigigabit ports and use the forty 5G multigigabit ports for endpoints that outgrow 1G. UPOE+ policies, VLANs, QoS, and 802.1X enforcement live at the switch edge under Network Advantage. The access layer gains faster copper handoff over existing cabling without broad closet recabling projects during refreshes.
C9300X-48HXN-A operates as a StackWise-1T member when a wiring closet needs more powered multigigabit copper under one control plane. Network teams cable up to eight compatible Catalyst 9300X members, align license levels, and extend VLAN, routing, QoS, and PoE policy across the stack. Each switch contributes forty 5G and eight 10G UPOE+ downlinks while the stack preserves common management for the closet. The result is denser access growth with consistent endpoint policy and fewer independent switch control points during phased refreshes.
At the access-to-distribution boundary, the switch concentrates forty 5G and eight 10G copper downlinks, then hands traffic northbound through selected Catalyst 9300X network modules such as C9300X-NM-8Y or C9300X-NM-2C. Engineers choose 10G, 25G, 40G, or 100G uplink designs according to distribution capacity, optics, and oversubscription policy. Network Advantage routing, segmentation, and telemetry tie the closet into Catalyst Center or SD-Access operations. The design separates endpoint-speed refresh from uplink-speed migration, which resolves access growth without replacing the switch chassis during staged upgrades.
When an endpoint refresh introduces devices requesting 90W per connection, individual port capability is not the same as simultaneous chassis delivery. Prepare an endpoint power schedule before selecting the supply configuration, separating requested allocations from expected operating demand. Specify the required power configuration on the PO.
When extending a compatible Catalyst 9300 stack rather than replacing every member, the mixed stack operates at 480 Gbps instead of the all-Catalyst-9300X stacking rate. Confirm the existing members and cable reach before procurement, then specify the required STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M or STACK-T1-3M connections on the PO.
For a staging purchase that will initially operate without an uplink card, C9300X-NM-BLANK is required to maintain sufficient airflow through the unused bay. Do not plan the bench configuration around an uncovered opening. Specify C9300X-NM-BLANK for the initial configuration and identify the later uplink configuration before ordering.
10G copper on every access port
Only eight access ports reach 10G; forty stop at 5G. C9300X-48HX-A provides forty-eight 10G-capable multigigabit UPOE+ access ports while retaining modular uplinks.
Eight usable 25G uplink ports
C9300X-NM-8Y exposes six usable ports on this hardware, with ports seven and eight disabled. C9300X-48HX-A supports the full eight-port C9300X-NM-8Y configuration.
A fanless operating configuration
Cooling depends on three FAN-T2= fan modules. This chassis is actively cooled and does not provide a fanless configuration for deployments requiring passive cooling.

C9300X-48HXN-A identifies a Catalyst 9300X configuration with forty 5G multigigabit ports, eight 10G copper ports, UPOE+, modular uplinks and Network Advantage. C9300X identifies the series, 48 identifies the access-port count, HXN identifies this mixed-speed powered configuration, and A identifies Network Advantage. The uplink module is selected separately.
C9300X-48HXN-A supports local CLI through console or SSH, an embedded WebUI, Cisco Catalyst Center and supported Meraki dashboard management paths. Dashboard operation can use cloud-sourced configuration or device-sourced configuration with Cloud CLI access. The selected operating mode, software release and subscription determine the management workflow used for deployment.
C9300X-48HXN-A provides a shared 690W PoE budget with one PWR-C1-1100WAC-P and 1790W with two PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supplies. Individual UPOE+ ports support 90W, but neither configuration powers every port at that maximum simultaneously. Endpoint allocations must be sized against the aggregate budget rather than the individual port rating.
C9300X-48HXN-A accepts C9300X-NM-8M, C9300X-NM-8Y and C9300X-NM-2C. C9300X-NM-8M and C9300X-NM-8Y provide six usable ports on this hardware, with ports seven and eight disabled. C9300X-NM-2C provides two 100G or 40G ports, with breakout supported only on port one. Specify the module separately from the base switch.
StackWise-1T connects eight Catalyst 9300X members at 1 Tbps with matching license levels. C9300X-48HXN-A has built-in stack ports; no adapter kit is required. Cable choices are STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M and STACK-T1-3M. Mixing compatible Catalyst 9300 members reduces stacking bandwidth to 480 Gbps.
C9300X-48HXN-A has perpetual Network Advantage; subscriptions expire separately. New orders require Cisco DNA Advantage or Cisco Catalyst Advantage, minimum three years, with a Smart Account. Cisco Networking Subscription offers Cisco Switching Essentials or Cisco Switching Advantage, minimum 36 months. Meraki Enterprise or Advanced is available through migration, minimum one year.
Yes, C9300X-48HXN-A supports full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 under Network Advantage. IPv6 routing includes OSPFv3 and BGPv6. The hardware supports 39000 total IPv4 entries, comprising 24000 direct and 15000 indirect routes; the indirect subset must not be treated as the complete IPv4 scale.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300X. For C9300X-48HXN-A procurement, keep hardware lifecycle and software-release support separate. A retiring software release does not by itself retire the chassis; record the required software release and support coverage alongside the hardware condition on the PO.
C9300X-48HXN-A measured 956.4W at 115V AC with full PoE loading, no traffic and no uplink module. That figure describes a specific test configuration, not every possible installation. Electrical sizing should identify the supply count, endpoint load and selected uplink module instead of substituting the supply's output rating for consumption.
C9300X-48HXN-A supplies UPOE+ on its copper access ports, while C9300X-48TX-A is data-only. Both carry Network Advantage and modular uplinks, but C9300X-48TX-A has forty-eight 10G-capable access ports. The powered model suits endpoints requiring switch-delivered power; the data-only model suits separately powered equipment needing 10G across every access connection.
C9300X-48HXN-A includes Network Advantage, while C9300X-48HXN-E includes Network Essentials on the same mixed-speed UPOE+ hardware. Network Advantage adds advanced routing such as BGP and full EIGRP; Network Essentials includes routed-access OSPF capped at 1000 routes. Choose the A model for advanced routing requirements and E for Essentials-level access functions.
C9300X-48HXN-A provides forty-eight copper access ports, while C9300X-24HX-A provides twenty-four. Both include UPOE+ and Network Advantage, but every C9300X-24HX-A access port reaches 10G, whereas the larger model has eight 10G-capable ports. The larger model suits higher connection counts; the smaller model suits fewer endpoints requiring 10G on every connection.
ORM Systems offers C9300X-48HXN-A new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty covers the original owner and is limited to five years after discontinuance.
