C9300X-48HXN-E combines mixed-speed Multigigabit copper access with UPOE+ in a managed Layer 3 enterprise switch. Forty access ports support 100M, 1G, 2.5G and 5G, while eight also support 10G; all 48 can deliver endpoint power within the shared allocation. The Catalyst 9300X chassis occupies 1U and uses a modular uplink bay rather than fixed uplink cages. Choose C9300X-NM-8M for copper uplinks, C9300X-NM-8Y for fiber uplinks or C9300X-NM-2C for 40G/100G connectivity; no network module is installed in the base configuration. Network Essentials is the included network tier for campus access and branch endpoints such as wireless access points, cameras and digital signage. C9300X-48HX-E starts with 590W of endpoint power using PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, separating these models when comparing initial powered-device allocations.
C9300X-48HXN-E price for new stock is $13,201.65, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $26,403.30. C9300X-48HXN-E refurb price is $10,213.35. C9300X-48HXN-E is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

960 Gbps switching capacity defines the standalone switching limit, and 714.24 Mpps gives the forwarding rate for 64-byte IPv4 packets. 690W of shared PoE power requires endpoint demand to remain within the installed power allocation; individual port limits do not remove that aggregate constraint. 1000 OSPF routes is the Network Essentials limit, alongside Static, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub, PBR, VRRP and PIM Stub support; BGP and full EIGRP are not included. C9300X-48HXN-E uses UADP 2.0sec silicon with 16 GB of DRAM and 16 GB of flash. Hardware capacity totals 39000 IPv4 route and ARP entries, distinct from protocol-license limits, while 32000 MAC entries bound the address table. A 16 MB packet buffer provides finite storage for traffic bursts. Cisco IOS XE supplies embedded web UI and CLI management. Within the Catalyst 9300 Series, StackWise-1T forms an eight-member data stack. 956.4W full-PoE input draw at 115V without an uplink module provides the tested reference for electrical sizing.
ORM Systems supplies C9300X-48HXN-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended new-unit coverage or up to 1 year certified refurbished coverage and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configuration is wiped to factory default. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty covers original ownership and is limited to five years after discontinuance announcement; specify condition, accessories and licensing on the purchase order. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

C9300X-48HXN-E operates at the campus access edge and terminates copper runs from Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E access points, workstations, cameras, phones, and building endpoints. Engineers place the 40 5G mGig ports on broad endpoint access and reserve the 8 10G mGig ports for higher-throughput devices. Network Essentials supports VLANs, QoS, access control, and routed access functions at the closet. Power planning maps UPOE+ budgets to each access closet before deployment. The result is a dense powered edge that matches endpoint speed tiers without replacing every copper run.
The switch occupies the access layer and hands aggregated multigigabit endpoint traffic northbound through a selected Catalyst 9300X modular uplink. Engineers match C9300X-NM-8Y, C9300X-NM-2C, C9300X-NM-4C, or C9300X-NM-8M modules to the distribution design, then configure trunks, routed links, or EtherChannel according to the campus topology. The 960 Gbps standalone switching profile supports this aggregation point. C9300X-48HXN-E keeps 40 5G and 8 10G copper access ports separate from uplink selection. The result is an access-to-distribution design with modular bandwidth planning and fewer forced switch replacements.
Multiple Catalyst 9300X units form a StackWise-1T access block when a floor or building refresh needs more multigigabit copper ports under one control plane. C9300X-48HXN-E contributes 48 UPOE+ mGig downlinks per member, while the stack presents unified management, coordinated uplinks, shared policy, and consistent IOS XE operations. Engineers align StackWise cables, StackPower design, power supplies, and uplink modules before adding members. The 960 Gbps per-member profile and 1,960 Gbps stacked figure inform oversubscription targets. The result is controlled access-layer expansion with higher port density and simpler operational ownership.
When a campus refresh retains existing copper runs, cable category and reach determine the access speeds available at each outlet. C9300X-48HXN-E supports 10GBASE-T over Cat6A to 100 m, while Cat6 reach for 10G is limited to 55 m. Specify cable qualification and any recabling before the purchase order.
When remote sites need local recovery without relying on production links, C9300X-48HXN-E provides a dedicated 10/100/1000 Ethernet management connection plus RJ-45 and USB mini-Type B console access. USB console input takes precedence when connected. Specify the management network, terminal connection and required console access before ordering.
When a deployment requires jumbo-frame qualification before release, C9300X-48HXN-E supports frames of 9198 bytes. The staging plan should distinguish endpoint, intermediate-link and switch settings rather than treating successful link negotiation as frame-size validation. Specify the required traffic tests and configuration baseline before the purchase order.
10G copper on every access port
C9300X-48HXN-E limits 10G copper access to eight ports; forty stop at 5G. C9300X-48HX-E provides 48 10G-capable copper access ports for deployments requiring that speed throughout.
Eight active 25G uplink ports
C9300X-NM-8Y exposes six active ports on C9300X-48HXN-E from Cisco IOS XE 17.8.1; two remain disabled. C9300X-48HX-E supports the full eight-port C9300X-NM-8Y configuration.
BGP or full EIGRP routing
Network Essentials on C9300X-48HXN-E excludes BGP and full EIGRP. C9300X-48HXN-A supplies Network Advantage for those protocols while retaining the same copper-port configuration.

C9300X-48HXN-E identifies a Catalyst 9300X switch with 48 copper access ports, UPOE+, modular uplinks and Network Essentials. C9300X names the family; 48 names the port count; HXN identifies the mixed 40-port 5G and eight-port 10G configuration with UPOE+; the -E suffix identifies Network Essentials.
C9300X-48HXN-E supports embedded web UI, console CLI and SSH, plus Cisco Catalyst Center and Meraki dashboard management under the appropriate licenses. Device-sourced dashboard management keeps configuration local and allows read/write cloud CLI; cloud-sourced configuration uses dashboard control and read-only cloud CLI. Select the intended management mode before ordering.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300X. C9300X-48HXN-E remains an enterprise access model with Network Essentials and modular uplinks. Hardware lifecycle status is separate from the support lifecycle of an individual Cisco IOS XE release, so specify the software release for the deployment separately.
ORM Systems offers C9300X-48HXN-E new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty covers original ownership and is limited to five years after discontinuance announcement.
Catalyst 9300X offers Cisco DNA Essentials or Advantage and Cisco Catalyst Essentials or Advantage with 3-year minimums, Cisco Networking Subscription with Cisco Switching Essentials or Advantage and a 36-month minimum, or Meraki Enterprise or Advanced with a 1-year minimum after migration. C9300X-48HXN-E includes perpetual Network Essentials; new orders require the applicable subscription and Smart Account.
No, C9300X-48HXN-E can continue operating with its perpetual Network Essentials capabilities after a Cisco DNA or Cisco Catalyst subscription expires. Continuing subscription features requires renewal. To retain only base capabilities, deactivate the expired add-on and reload the switch; do not assume subscription services remain entitled.
C9300X-48HXN-E provides a shared 690W PoE budget with its default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P and supports UPOE+ delivery up to 90W per port. Two PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supplies raise the combined budget to 1790W. Endpoint allocation must remain within the shared budget rather than assuming every powered port can draw its individual maximum simultaneously.
C9300X-48HXN-E supports C9300X-NM-8M, C9300X-NM-8Y and C9300X-NM-2C, ordered separately from the base switch. From Cisco IOS XE 17.8.1, C9300X-NM-8M and C9300X-NM-8Y expose six active ports; C9300X-NM-2C provides two 40G/100G ports. Specify the module and compatible optics together; C9300X-NM-4C is not supported on this model.
Catalyst 9300X supports eight members using StackWise-1T at 1000Gbps, provided member network license levels match. STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M and STACK-T1-3M are the data-stack cable options. Mixing supported Catalyst 9300 models reduces stack bandwidth to 480Gbps; fixed-uplink Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300LM models cannot join this stack.
C9300X-48HXN-E supports Layer 3 routed access with Static, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub and OSPF capped at 1000 routes under Network Essentials. PBR, VRRP and PIM Stub are also included, with a 1000-route multicast limit. BGP and full EIGRP require Network Advantage, so match routing requirements to the purchased tier.
No, C9300X-48HXN-E ships with one PWR-C1-1100WAC-P; the second internal supply bay is empty rather than populated for redundancy. Order a second compatible supply when redundant power is required. The standard PWR-C1-1100WAC-P uses 115-240V AC, so select the regional power cord and feed arrangement accordingly.
C9300X-48HXN-E draws 956.4W at full PoE load and 115V with no uplink module installed. That input-power figure is distinct from the 1100W output rating of PWR-C1-1100WAC-P. Adding an uplink module changes the tested load, so specify the assembled configuration when sizing electrical capacity.
C9300X-48HXN-E provides 690W of PoE using PWR-C1-1100WAC-P, whereas C9300X-48HX-E provides 590W using PWR-C1-1100WAC-P. The difference concerns shared endpoint-power allocation with the same primary supply. C9300X-48HXN-E suits buyers requiring the larger initial allocation; C9300X-48HX-E suits buyers whose specified endpoint load remains within 590W.
C9300X-48HXN-E includes Network Essentials, whereas C9300X-48HXN-A includes Network Advantage. Network Advantage adds advanced routing such as BGP and full EIGRP; the Essentials tier retains routed-access features with its own limits. C9300X-48HXN-E suits Essentials-based access designs, while C9300X-48HXN-A suits deployments requiring the additional network-license capabilities.
C9300X-48HXN-E has 48 copper access ports, while C9300X-24HX-E has 24. Compare the required physical connection count before assigning either model to the purchase order, rather than treating the two as interchangeable. C9300X-48HXN-E suits higher-density connection schedules; C9300X-24HX-E suits deployments whose connection schedule fits within 24 access ports.
