C9300X-48HXN-A is a managed Layer 3 Cisco Catalyst 9300X switch built for multigigabit enterprise access where powered edge devices need mixed 5G and 10G copper density. It provides 48 fixed RJ-45 downlink ports: forty ports support 100M/1G/2.5G/5G, and eight ports support 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G. The chassis has an empty modular uplink bay rather than fixed uplinks and accepts Catalyst 9300X module types for RJ-45 multigigabit, SFP/SFP+, SFP28, and QSFP uplink designs. Cisco UPOE+ supplies up to 90W per powered port from a shared PoE budget, with a 1U rack-mount form factor and Network Advantage software in the Cisco Catalyst 9300X series. The HXN model keeps most access ports at 5G while reserving a smaller 10G group for endpoints with heavier throughput needs. The C9300X-48HXN-E sibling uses the same port layout and UPOE+ hardware but differs by shipping with Network Essentials rather than Network Advantage.
960 Gbps switching capacity delivers chassis bandwidth for dense copper access, while 1960 Gbps stacked switching capacity supports growth inside a switch stack design. 714.24 Mpps forwarding rate, rising to 1458.24 Mpps with stacking, keeps routed and switched traffic aligned with the platform's access-layer throughput. 690W shared PoE budget ships with the default 1100W AC power supply, and higher budgets are available through documented secondary or upgraded power-supply combinations. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, IS-ISv4, PIM SM, SSM, MPLS, VXLAN BGP-EVPN, and static routing operate under the platform's Layer 3 and fabric feature set. C9300X-48HXN-A also carries 16 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash, 32,000 MAC addresses, 1000 SVIs, 9198-byte jumbo frames, NETCONF, RESTCONF, YANG, gNMI, SNMP, and streaming telemetry for automated operations. The 16 MB packet buffer for this multigigabit class supports burst handling at oversubscribed closet edges, and UADP 2.0sec adds hardware-based IPsec capability when the required key and design are present.
In campus topology, this switch belongs at the enterprise access tier, connecting Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, IP phones, cameras, displays, workstations, and compact powered devices over twisted-pair cabling. StackWise-1T organizes compatible Cisco Catalyst 9300X members into a single switch stack, and the 1U chassis fits standard rack rows in wiring closets, IDFs, and access aggregation cabinets. ORM Systems supplies C9300X-48HXN-A new and certified refurbished, with refurbished units boot-tested, port-tested across the RJ-45 downlinks, PoE-checked, and inspected for fan and power-supply health before dispatch. Buyers can request a quote for the switch, matched uplink modules, stacking cables, optics, power supplies, and warranty coverage. Enterprise and volume buyers receive configuration-aware sourcing for multi-closet refreshes and repeat Catalyst access deployments, including consistent condition grading, accessory matching, and shipment planning for staged rollouts. The commercial scope also records spare-unit needs and staged delivery waves for consistent campus standards.

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.

Cisco C9300X-48HXN-A is a Catalyst 9300X stackable multigigabit access switch with Network Advantage software. It provides 48 UPOE+ copper downlinks, split as 40 5G multigigabit ports and 8 10GBASE-T multigigabit ports, with modular uplink support. The model fits high-density enterprise access closets needing faster copper edge connectivity and 90W-capable endpoint power.
C9300X identifies the Cisco Catalyst 9300X hardware family, 48HXN identifies the 48-port multigigabit UPOE+ copper layout with 40 ports up to 5G and 8 ports up to 10G, and A indicates the Network Advantage software tier. The SKU is ordered as a modular uplink switch rather than a fixed uplink Catalyst 9300L model.
C9300X-48HXN-A is a managed enterprise Ethernet switch for campus access and aggregation designs. It is not a router, firewall, wireless controller, or fixed uplink access switch. The chassis uses modular uplinks, StackWise-1T stacking, redundant field-replaceable power supply options, and Cisco IOS XE software for Layer 2, Layer 3, automation, and security services.
C9300X-48HXN-A sits in the Catalyst 9300X modular uplink family, above many standard Catalyst 9300 copper access models in multigigabit density and platform scale. It targets access closets that need more than 1G copper, higher PoE classes, StackWise-1T, UADP 2.0sec hardware, and Network Advantage features for routed access and segmentation.
C9300X-48HXN-A provides 48 copper UPOE+ downlink ports. Cisco lists the port mix as 8 10G multigigabit ports supporting 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M, plus 40 5G multigigabit ports supporting 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M. Uplink ports are added through a compatible Catalyst 9300X network module.
C9300X-48HXN-A follows the C9300X-48HXN platform figures of 960 Gbps switching capacity and 714.24 Mpps forwarding rate. With stacking, Cisco lists 1960 Gbps switching capacity and 1458.24 Mpps forwarding. These figures suit dense multigigabit access closets where endpoint bandwidth, uplink sizing, and future growth planning all matter.
C9300X-48HXN-A supports Cisco UPOE+ with up to 90W per port where the endpoint, cabling, and power budget support it. The default 1100W AC power supply provides 690W available PoE for the C9300X-48HXN platform, with higher PoE budgets available through supported secondary or upgraded power supply combinations.
C9300X-48HXN-A includes Network Advantage, the higher Cisco software tier for Catalyst 9300 access switching. It supports Layer 2 switching, routed access designs, SVIs, advanced IP routing options, multicast routing, policy features, and SD-Access related services when the rest of the Cisco architecture and subscriptions are in place.
C9300X-48HXN-A runs Cisco IOS XE and is managed through the CLI, SNMP, NETCONF, RESTCONF, YANG models, streaming telemetry, and Cisco Catalyst Center workflows. The Catalyst 9300 family also supports cloud monitoring or migration paths involving the Meraki dashboard where the selected software, licensing, and operational model support that management approach.
C9300X-48HXN-A supports StackWise-1T as part of the Catalyst 9300X modular uplink family. Cisco lists up to 8 stack members for C9300X SKUs, with 1 Tbps stacking bandwidth when stacked with compatible Catalyst 9300X models at the same license level. Mixed stacking with Catalyst 9300 models operates at StackWise-480 speeds.
C9300X-48HXN-A is used for campus access switching where endpoints need more than 1G copper and many devices draw PoE. Typical connections include Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E access points, cameras, displays, phones, compact switches, and workstations. The 40 5G plus 8 10G copper layout gives network teams differentiated access speed at the wiring closet.
C9300X-48HXN-A fits medium to large enterprise access closets, high-density floors, and repeated campus edge builds that standardize on Catalyst 9300X. A single switch provides 48 powered multigigabit copper ports, while StackWise-1T designs expand the closet under one management plane when more access ports are required.
C9300X-48HXN-A suits endpoint workloads that benefit from multigigabit copper, higher PoE classes, and routed access policy. Examples include Wi-Fi 6 or 6E AP backhaul, high-resolution camera networks, digital signage, AV endpoints using IEEE 802.1 AVB designs, and access segments that need 5G or 10G copper without immediate cabling replacement.
C9300X-48HXN-A is positioned for Cisco Catalyst campus architectures, including SD-Access designs when paired with Cisco Catalyst Center, Cisco ISE, appropriate licensing, and validated fabric configuration. Network Advantage supports the routed access and segmentation features commonly required at the access edge, while IOS XE provides the programmability and telemetry interfaces used in Cisco-managed fabrics.
C9300X-48HXN-A uses Catalyst 9300X modular uplinks. Cisco lists C9300X-NM-8M, C9300X-NM-8Y, and C9300X-NM-2C as Catalyst 9300X network module options, with port-count limitations noted when C9300X-NM modules are used with C9300X-48HXN models. The C9300X-NM-4C module is listed for other C9300X models, not for C9300X-48HXN during uplink design.
C9300X-48HXN-A stacks with compatible Catalyst 9300X models at StackWise-1T speeds when license levels match. Cisco also supports mixed stacking between Catalyst 9300X and Catalyst 9300 modular uplink models at StackWise-480 speeds. Fixed uplink Catalyst 9300L models do not stack with modular uplink Catalyst 9300 or Catalyst 9300X switches.
C9300X-48HXN-A integrates with Cisco IOS XE operations, Cisco Catalyst Center, Cisco ISE for policy, and Catalyst 9000 SD-Access architectures. It also supports standards and interfaces such as NETCONF, RESTCONF, YANG, gNMI, SNMP, 802.1X, MACsec, and streaming telemetry, giving operations teams several ways to automate, monitor, and secure the switch.
C9300X-48HXN-A supports Ethernet endpoints using 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and selected 10GBASE-T speeds according to the port group. It supports Cisco UPOE+, Cisco UPOE, PoE+, and PoE endpoint power classes, making it suitable for compatible access points, phones, cameras, displays, and other powered devices that follow Ethernet cabling and power standards.
C9300X-48HX-A is the higher copper-speed sibling when all 48 downlink ports need 10G multigigabit capability. C9300X-48HXN-A keeps 8 ports at 10G and provides 40 ports up to 5G, which fits closets where only selected endpoints require 10GBASE-T. Both are Catalyst 9300X UPOE+ modular uplink models with Network Advantage options.
C9300X-48TX-A is a data-only 48-port 10G multigigabit Catalyst 9300X model, while C9300X-48HXN-A is a UPOE+ model with 40 5G ports and 8 10G ports. The TX model suits unpowered copper endpoints needing maximum 10G density. The HXN model suits powered access closets with high PoE demand.
C9300X-24HX-A provides 24 10G multigigabit UPOE+ downlinks, while C9300X-48HXN-A provides 48 total UPOE+ downlinks with 40 up to 5G and 8 up to 10G. The 24HX model fits smaller high-speed copper access blocks. The 48HXN model fits denser closets that need more powered ports with mixed 5G and 10G demand.
C9300X-48HXN-A and C9300X-48HXN-E use the same 40-port 5G plus 8-port 10G UPOE+ hardware layout. The difference is software tier: the A SKU includes Network Advantage, while the E SKU includes Network Essentials. The Advantage SKU is selected when the design needs the higher feature tier for routed access and segmentation.
C9300X-48HXN-A price is affected by condition, power supply configuration, selected network module, software entitlement, warranty term, quantity, and current channel availability. Buyers comparing quotes should check whether the offer includes only the switch chassis or also stack cables, uplink module, power supply upgrades, optics, and support coverage.

For this SKU, checks should include the 40 5G multigigabit ports, 8 10G multigigabit ports, modular uplink bay, and PoE delivery behavior.
C9300X-48HXN-A follows Catalyst 9300 Series compliance coverage listed by Cisco, including safety, electromagnetic compatibility, environmental, Ethernet, and RoHS information. Cisco lists standards such as UL 60950-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1, EN 60950-1, IEC 60950-1, AS/NZS 60950.1, IEEE 802.3, and RoHS 5 for series documentation and procurement records.
C9300X-48HXN-A is initially configured through Cisco IOS XE using the console, management interface, CLI, Plug and Play onboarding, or Cisco Catalyst Center workflows. Engineers typically set management IP addressing, software version, licensing, VLANs, trunks, SVIs, PoE policies, AAA, 802.1X, uplink configuration, and stacking parameters before connecting production endpoints.
C9300X-48HXN-A includes the Network Advantage tier in the hardware SKU, but Cisco Catalyst software, DNA subscription terms, support coverage, and feature entitlements should be verified for the ordered bundle. Advanced operations involving SD-Access, Catalyst Center assurance, ThousandEyes entitlements, or cloud management require the correct Cisco licensing and account association.
C9300X-48HXN-A deployments often require a compatible Catalyst 9300X network module, optics or copper uplink cables, StackWise data stack cables, optional StackPower cables, a secondary or upgraded power supply, rack-mount hardware, console cable, and supported power cords. The exact accessory list should follow the uplink design, PoE budget, and stacking plan.
