C9300X-48HXN-E delivers its value through a mixed multigigabit access design: 40 fixed 100M/1G/2.5G/5G RJ-45 ports and 8 fixed 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G RJ-45 ports in a managed Layer 3 switch. The empty modular uplink bay accepts Catalyst 9300X modules for 10G mGig copper, 25G/10G/1G SFP-family fiber, or 100G/40G QSFP uplinks; the module is selected separately rather than installed by default. Cisco UPOE+ power delivery supports high-draw access endpoints, and the chassis mounts as a 1U member of the Cisco Catalyst 9300X series. The hardware profile prioritizes broad 5G access with a smaller 10G access group, giving buyers a middle position between standard multigigabit access and all-10G copper. That split suits refresh plans that reserve faster copper for selected wireless or workstation drops. C9300X-48HX-E is the closest higher-density sibling, differing by providing 48 10G/mGig copper ports instead of this SKU's 40-port 5G plus 8-port 10G layout.
960 Gbps switching capacity handles dense copper access aggregation before traffic leaves the wiring closet through the selected uplink module. 714.24 Mpps forwarding rate keeps packet movement aligned with the mixed 5G and 10G downlink profile, while 1,960 Gbps stacked switching capacity supports larger access blocks under one control plane. 690W shared powered-endpoint budget is available with the default PWR-C1-1100WAC-P supply, so PoE planning should allocate 90W-capable ports according to the endpoint load rather than assuming every port draws maximum power at once. RIP, EIGRP Stub, OSPF for 1000 routes, PBR, and PIM Stub Multicast sit inside the Network Essentials routed-access feature set. The UADP 2.0sec ASIC adds the Catalyst 9300X hardware base, and the 16 MB buffer fits the 48-port 5G multigigabit class. C9300X-48HXN-E also provides 16 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash, 32,000 MAC addresses, 64,000 Flexible NetFlow entries, 9198-byte jumbo frames, SNMP management, and Cisco Catalyst Center operational workflows.
C9300X-48HXN-E sits at the enterprise access tier, connecting multigigabit access points, high-speed workstations, surveillance devices, phones, and building systems before forwarding northbound to distribution. StackWise-1T supports an 8-member stack for single-plane access operations, and the 1U rack-mount chassis fits standard closet rails without consuming chassis-switch space. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished. Certified refurbished units receive fixed-port testing across both mGig speed groups, PoE validation where load equipment is available, boot checks, power supply inspection, and cosmetic grading before dispatch. Request a quote for the required condition, uplink module, power configuration, stack accessories, warranty term, and delivery destination. Volume buyers receive configuration-led pricing for repeated closet builds, staged refresh waves, and standardized Catalyst 9300X access deployments, including accessory alignment for power, optics, and stack cabling. Larger orders also align switch quantities, spare modules, and support expectations across multiple installation phases.

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.

The Cisco C9300X-48HXN-E is a Catalyst 9300X stackable managed access switch with 40 5G multigigabit copper ports, 8 10G multigigabit copper ports, Cisco UPOE+ support, modular uplinks, and the Network Essentials software tier. It targets high-density wired and wireless access where endpoint speeds exceed standard 1G Ethernet.
C9300X identifies the Catalyst 9300X platform, 48HXN identifies the 48-port mixed multigigabit UPOE+ hardware profile, and E identifies the Network Essentials software tier. For buyers, C9300X-48HXN-E means a stackable Catalyst access switch with 40 5G mGig ports, 8 10G mGig ports, modular uplinks, and base enterprise switching features.
C9300X-48HXN-E is a managed Ethernet switch, not a standalone router or firewall appliance. It operates as a stackable campus access switch with Layer 2 switching, routed access features in the Network Essentials tier, policy controls, PoE delivery, and modular uplink options for distribution or core handoff.
C9300X-48HXN-E sits in the Cisco Catalyst 9300X access switching family, above standard Catalyst 9300 models for multigigabit density, StackWise-1T stacking, 16 GB DRAM, and UADP 2.0sec hardware. It fits buyers needing 5G and 10G copper access with 90W UPOE+ while staying on the Network Essentials tier.
C9300X-48HXN-E provides 48 copper downlink ports: 40 ports support 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M multigigabit speeds, while 8 ports support 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M multigigabit speeds. This mix supports higher-speed access points, workstations, cameras, and other copper endpoints without replacing every drop with 10G.
C9300X-48HXN-E is listed for 960 Gbps switching capacity and 714.24 Mpps forwarding rate as a standalone switch. With stacking, Cisco lists 1,960 Gbps switching capacity and 1,458.24 Mpps forwarding performance for the C9300X-48HXN hardware profile, giving the access layer headroom for dense multigigabit aggregation.
C9300X-48HXN-E supports Cisco UPOE+ for high-power access devices and is part of the Catalyst 9300X 90W PoE class. The exact usable PoE budget depends on installed power supplies and redundancy choices, so buyers should align power supply selection with access point, camera, phone, and smart building endpoint loads.
C9300X-48HXN-E ships with the Network Essentials tier, the base Cisco Catalyst software level for enterprise access switching. It supports common Layer 2 services, VLAN segmentation, access security, QoS, and routed access functions appropriate to the Essentials license. Designs needing advanced SD-Access, richer routing, or Advantage-only services should compare C9300X-48HXN-A.
C9300X-48HXN-E runs Cisco IOS XE and fits Cisco Catalyst management workflows through CLI, SNMP, NETCONF or RESTCONF integrations, and Cisco Catalyst Center environments. The switch supports policy-based campus operations while retaining local configuration control, which helps teams standardize access templates, software images, telemetry, and change management across Catalyst 9000 estates.
C9300X-48HXN-E supports Cisco StackWise-1T on Catalyst 9300X modular uplink models, with up to 1 Tbps local stackable switching bandwidth. Cisco also notes mixed stacking with Catalyst 9300 and Catalyst 9300X models, using 480G when mixed with Catalyst 9300, which helps staged campus refresh projects during phased access upgrades.
C9300X-48HXN-E is used as a high-density campus access switch for copper endpoints that need more than 1G throughput or higher PoE power. Typical connections include Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E access points, user workstations, compact switches, phones, cameras, and building systems that require 5G, 10G, or 90W UPOE+ access.
C9300X-48HXN-E suits medium to large access closets where many endpoints need multigigabit copper and centralized Catalyst operations. A single unit provides 48 mGig ports, and multiple units form a StackWise-1T access block when designs require more port density, shared management, and resilient uplink planning across a floor or building.
C9300X-48HXN-E fits access workloads driven by high-throughput wireless, rich media, dense endpoint telemetry, IP surveillance, and high-power attached devices. The 40 5G plus 8 10G mGig layout lets network teams reserve faster copper ports for demanding endpoints while using the remaining 5G ports for broad access density.
C9300X-48HXN-E works in routed access designs that fit the Network Essentials feature set. Teams commonly use Catalyst access switches for VLAN gateways, static or supported dynamic routing, ACL boundaries, QoS marking, and uplink handoff to distribution. Designs needing broader routing scale or SD-Access features should validate the Network Advantage alternative.
C9300X-48HXN-E uses Catalyst 9300X modular uplink options such as C9300X-NM-8M for 8 x 10G mGig copper, C9300X-NM-8Y for 8 x 25G, 10G, or 1G SFP ports, and C9300X-NM-2C or C9300X-NM-4C for 100G or 40G QSFP uplinks. Module choice should match upstream distribution capacity and media type.
C9300X-48HXN-E pairs well with Cisco Catalyst and Meraki Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E access points that benefit from mGig copper and high-power PoE, plus IP phones, cameras, thin clients, and workstations. The switch also supports common Ethernet standards such as 802.1Q VLANs, 802.1X authentication, QoS, and LLDP-based endpoint discovery.
C9300X-48HXN-E stacks with compatible Catalyst 9300X switches through StackWise-1T and supports mixed stacking with Catalyst 9300 models at the lower mixed-stack bandwidth. This allows a staged migration from 1G or older multigigabit access switches while keeping a single logical access switch for management and uplink design.
C9300X-48HXN-E fits Cisco IOS XE operations, Cisco Catalyst Center workflows, Smart Licensing, SNMP monitoring, syslog collection, AAA services, RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication, and automation through model-driven interfaces. This makes it practical for networks already standardized on Cisco Catalyst 9000 switching, policy-based access control, and audited change workflows.
C9300X-48HXN-E provides 40 5G mGig ports plus 8 10G mGig ports, while C9300X-48HX-E provides 48 10G mGig ports. Both are Catalyst 9300X UPOE+ switches with Network Essentials and modular uplinks. C9300X-48HXN-E fits designs where most endpoints need 5G and only selected devices need 10G copper access.
C9300X-48HXN-E includes UPOE+ for powered endpoints and mixes 40 5G mGig with 8 10G mGig ports. C9300X-48TX-E is a 48-port 10G mGig data-only Catalyst 9300X switch. Buyers choose C9300X-48HXN-E for powered access and C9300X-48TX-E where every copper port needs 10G without PoE at the edge.
C9300X-48HXN-E offers 48 copper mGig ports with a 40-port 5G and 8-port 10G layout. C9300X-24HX-E offers 24 10G mGig UPOE+ ports on the same Catalyst 9300X family. The 48HXN model suits broader access density, while the 24HX model suits smaller closets needing all downlinks at 10G.
C9300X-48HXN-E is the newer Catalyst 9300X option with UADP 2.0sec, 16 GB DRAM, StackWise-1T, UPOE+, 40 5G mGig ports, and 8 10G mGig ports. C9300-48UN-E is a Catalyst 9300 48-port 5G copper UPOE model. The 9300X SKU fits refreshes needing more uplink flexibility and higher-speed copper ports.
C9300X-48HXN-E is a current enterprise switch SKU that may be sourced as new, refurbished, or excess-open-box stock depending on market supply. ORM Systems typically quotes availability by condition, required power supply, uplink module, and licensing state, so buyers receive a configuration-specific offer rather than a generic switch-only price.
C9300X-48HXN-E pricing is quote-based because condition, quantity, lead time, included accessories, warranty term, and uplink module selection change the final offer. Buyers comparing the SKU should confirm whether the quote includes power supplies, fans, stacking hardware, rack kit, DNA or support subscriptions, and any selected C9300X network module.
C9300X-48HXN-E belongs to the Catalyst 9300X platform and appears in Cisco ordering information for Catalyst 9300 Series switches. Buyers should still check current Cisco lifecycle notices before purchase because end-of-sale and support milestones are controlled by Cisco and can change by product family, software release, and regional availability.
Lead time for C9300X-48HXN-E depends on required condition, stock location, ordered quantity, power configuration, uplink module, and testing requirements. ORM Systems can quote shorter fulfillment when suitable refurbished or excess inventory is available and longer lead times when a specific new configuration or accessory bundle must be sourced.
Bulk pricing is appropriate for C9300X-48HXN-E when multiple access closets, stack members, or standardized refresh waves need the same switch profile. Quantity pricing should include the base switch, selected C9300X uplink modules, power supplies, stack cables, StackPower cables, optics, and warranty requirements so the comparison reflects the full deployment bill of materials.
ORM Systems offers warranty coverage for C9300X-48HXN-E according to quoted condition and order terms, with up to 3-year warranty options used across eligible networking hardware. Buyers should confirm whether the warranty covers refurbished units, installed power supplies, uplink modules, fans, and accessories, since coverage should match the complete ordered configuration.
Refurbished C9300X-48HXN-E units should be hardware-tested before dispatch, including port checks across the 40 5G mGig and 8 10G mGig interfaces, PoE load validation where equipment allows, fan and power supply inspection, boot verification, inventory confirmation, and cosmetic grading. Testing reduces deployment risk before the switch reaches the access closet.
C9300X-48HXN-E falls under the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series safety and compliance set, including UL 60950-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1, EN 60950-1, IEC 60950-1, AS/NZS 60950.1, IEEE 802.3, FCC Part 15, EN 55032 Class A, CISPR 32 Class A, and RoHS 5 environmental compliance for enterprise switching deployments.
Initial C9300X-48HXN-E setup normally starts through the console or supported Cisco provisioning workflow, followed by IOS XE software validation, management IP assignment, hostname and AAA configuration, VLAN and trunk creation, PoE policy, uplink module configuration, and stack provisioning if multiple switches form one access block.
C9300X-48HXN-E includes the Network Essentials tier in the SKU, but deployment planning should still account for Cisco Smart Licensing, IOS XE software version requirements, support coverage, and any DNA or subscription entitlements required by the organization. Advanced features tied to Network Advantage require the C9300X-48HXN-A alternative or an appropriate license change.
Common C9300X-48HXN-E accessories include compatible C9300X network modules, power cords, redundant power supplies, rack-mount hardware, StackWise-1T stack cables, StackPower cables, optics or DACs for uplinks, and console access tools. Buyers should match accessories to distribution port speeds, rack layout, power redundancy policy, and the number of stack members being installed.
UK buyers can purchase C9300X-48HXN-E through ORM Systems as a Cisco enterprise hardware reseller. The quotation should identify condition, quantity, warranty term, included uplink module, power supply configuration, accessory bundle, and delivery requirement so procurement teams can compare the offer against project specifications and deployment timelines.
ORM Systems ships C9300X-48HXN-E internationally subject to destination, export requirements, courier service availability, and order configuration. International buyers should specify destination country, required condition, quantity, accessory bundle, warranty expectations, and any compliance documentation needed for import or internal procurement approval.
