C9300X-48TX-A provides 10G-capable multigigabit copper access on all 48 RJ-45 downlinks, with 100M, 1G, 2.5G and 5G negotiation for mixed endpoint speeds. This managed Layer 3 switch belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 9300X family and carries Network Advantage for enterprise access switching. Its full-width 1U rack chassis has an empty modular uplink bay rather than fixed fiber uplinks. The bay accepts C9300X-NM-8M for copper, C9300X-NM-8Y for SFP28 connections, or C9300X-NM-2C and C9300X-NM-4C for QSFP28 connections. The data-only configuration does not supply PoE to attached equipment. C9300X-48HX-A differs by providing Cisco UPOE+ for powered endpoints. Within the wider Catalyst 9300 family, this variant separates endpoint connectivity from endpoint power, serving separately powered workstations and other copper-connected equipment without allocating an endpoint power budget.
C9300X-48TX-A price for new stock is $7,659.75, a 54.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $16,794.00. C9300X-48TX-A refurb price is $7,292.25. C9300X-48TX-A is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

1760 Gbps switching capacity provides the standalone forwarding fabric for access and selected uplink connections. 1309 Mpps forwarding is rated with 64-byte IPv4 packets, so packet-rate planning should use that figure rather than aggregate bandwidth. Full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and IS-IS under Network Advantage support routed access beyond the Network Essentials feature set. C9300X-48TX-A combines UADP 2.0sec forwarding silicon with 39000 total IPv4 routes, comprising 24000 direct and 15000 indirect entries. Its 16 GB DRAM supports control-plane operation, and 16 GB flash holds local software images; a separate 32 MB packet buffer serves queued traffic. WebUI and console or SSH CLI provide local administration, while SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 support monitoring. Three FAN-T2= fans provide N+1 cooling redundancy, requiring active-airflow accommodation. MACsec-256 is included in Network Advantage for link encryption, distinct from subscription-dependent IPsec functions. These resources support routing, monitoring and traffic handling without treating subscription features as permanent base-license entitlements.
ORM Systems offers C9300X-48TX-A new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot, module bay recognition and PSU status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, accessories and quantities on the PO. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty applies separately to the original owner and is limited to 5 years after discontinuance; enterprise and volume orders accept POs, government Net-30 and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA.

C9300X-48TX-A sits in the wiring closet and terminates 48 locally powered RJ-45 endpoints on 10GBASE-T multigigabit copper ports that negotiate 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M speeds. Engineers place workstation, lab, server-access, and externally powered wireless backhaul VLANs on the access layer, then carry northbound traffic through a selected C9300X uplink module. Network Advantage supports routed access, segmentation, and policy enforcement for the closet. The 715W AC default supply supports the data-only chassis role rather than endpoint power budgets. The network gains dense copper speed without adding endpoint power design constraints.
C9300X-48TX-A occupies the access edge and presents aggregated multigigabit copper traffic to distribution through a separately ordered C9300X network module. Engineers select C9300X-NM-8Y for 25G or 10G fiber handoff, C9300X-NM-2C for 100G or 40G uplinks, or another supported module according to the upstream design. The base switch keeps the 48 10G/mGig RJ-45 downlinks independent from uplink selection. Trunks, routed links, and EtherChannel policies stay tied to the chosen module speed. The network gains a cleaner migration path from copper access growth to higher-speed distribution capacity.
Several Catalyst 9300X switches form a StackWise-1T operations block when repeated closets need shared control, consistent software, and high copper density. C9300X-48TX-A contributes 48 data-only 10G multigigabit ports per member, while the stack presents one management plane and coordinated uplink design. Engineers align Network Advantage licensing, StackWise cables, IOS XE versions, member numbering, and uplink modules before production cutover. Cross-stack EtherChannel places redundant uplinks on different members for resilient distribution handoff. The operations team gains simplified administration and predictable expansion across high-speed access closets.
A campus refresh that separates departments or tenants calls for defined routing boundaries, not just additional Ethernet connections. VRF, VXLAN and MPLS are available under Network Advantage, with 1000 SVIs supported. Map the required segmentation and interface plan before the PO, then specify the corresponding software entitlements.
A branch rollout into equipment rooms that can be cold at first power-up needs a startup-temperature check before delivery. The minimum ambient temperature for cold start is 0°C. Confirm room conditions when power will first be applied, then record the site acceptance requirement and staging arrangements on the PO.
A staging lab that validates configurations before production activation can use the 90-day evaluation period for base and add-on licenses. An expired evaluation cannot be reactivated after a reload. Set the trial schedule against the production cutover and confirm purchased entitlements before issuing the hardware and software PO.
Powering endpoints over Ethernet
C9300X-48TX-A does not deliver PoE on its RJ-45 ports. C9300X-48HX-A provides Cisco UPOE+ on 48 multigigabit ports; size its shared power budget separately.
Native 25G endpoint connectivity
C9300X-48TX-A stops at 10G on its copper access ports. C9300X-24Y-A provides 24 native 25G SFP28 access ports, changing both endpoint media and port density.

C9300X-48TX-A identifies a Catalyst 9300X switch with 48 data-only multigigabit copper ports, modular uplinks and Network Advantage. C9300X identifies the series, 48 denotes the access-port count, TX identifies the 10G-capable multigigabit copper data configuration, and A denotes Network Advantage. The part number does not include an installed uplink module.
C9300X-48TX-A supports local console or SSH CLI, embedded WebUI, SNMP monitoring, programmable interfaces, and supported Cisco Catalyst Center or Meraki dashboard deployments. Controller and cloud functions depend on the subscription and onboarding mode. Meraki migration is a separate management choice; this Network Advantage SKU is not cloud-managed as shipped.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 9300X. C9300X-48TX-A has no published hardware end-of-sale or last-support milestone to apply to this purchase. Cisco IOS XE release and subscription-license lifecycle dates concern those items separately, rather than establishing an end-of-sale date for the switch hardware.
C9300X-48TX-A is offered new sealed or certified refurbished. ORM provides up to 3-year extended coverage for new units, up to 1 year for refurbished units, and 30-day returns on either condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty covers the original owner, bounded by 5 years after discontinuance; eligibility is separate from ORM coverage.
C9300X-48TX-A includes perpetual Network Advantage and requires Cisco DNA Advantage or Cisco Catalyst Advantage on new Cisco hardware orders, with a 3-year minimum term. Both subscription families also offer Essentials; Network Advantage permits Essentials at renewal. Meraki Enterprise or Advanced migration starts at 1 year. A Smart Account is required.
C9300X-48TX-A accepts C9300X-NM-8M for eight 10G copper ports, C9300X-NM-8Y for eight 25G SFP28 ports, C9300X-NM-2C for two 100G QSFP28 ports, or C9300X-NM-4C for four 100G QSFP28 ports. The base chassis includes no uplink module. Order the chosen module and compatible transceivers separately for fiber connectivity.
C9300X-48TX-A supports StackWise-1T with eight Catalyst 9300X members and matching license levels. Mixing with supported Catalyst 9300 models reduces stack bandwidth to 480 Gbps; Catalyst 9300L, Catalyst 9300LM and higher-scale Catalyst 9300 models are excluded. Connections use STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M or STACK-T1-3M through the dedicated stack ports.
Catalyst 9300X with Network Advantage supports full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and IS-IS routing, plus IPv6 routing through OSPFv3 and BGPv6. The hardware supports 39000 total IPv4 routes, comprising 24000 direct and 15000 indirect entries. The 1000-route OSPF limit belongs to Network Essentials, not this Network Advantage tier.
No, C9300X-48TX-A ships with one PWR-C1-715WAC-P, leaving its second internal supply bay empty. Order a second PWR-C1-715WAC-P for dual-supply redundancy. PWR-C1-715WAC-P operates from 100-240V AC. Adding another PWR-C1-715WAC-P does not add PoE capability to the data-only copper access ports.
276.7W is the maximum measured draw for C9300X-48TX-A without an uplink module at 115V AC under full-port traffic. The same test records 192.5W with no links. Adding C9300X-NM-8Y raises the measured full-traffic figure to 315W, so circuit and cooling allowances must reflect the final configuration.
Catalyst 9300X is a full-width rack switch, and C9300X-48TX-A occupies 1U. With the default PWR-C1-715WAC-P installed, the chassis measures 44 mm high, 445 mm wide and 522 mm deep, and weighs 6.62 kg. Size the cabinet for the installed supply and rear connections, not chassis-only depth.
C9300X-48TX-A provides data-only copper downlinks, while C9300X-48HX-A delivers Cisco UPOE+ at up to 90W per powered port. Both variants retain 48 multigigabit copper connections and Network Advantage. The data-only model suits separately powered endpoints; the UPOE+ model suits endpoints that require power over their Ethernet connection.
C9300X-48TX-A includes Network Advantage, whereas C9300X-48TX-E includes Network Essentials on the same 48-port data-only hardware. Network Advantage adds full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and IS-IS; Network Essentials limits OSPF to 1000 routes. Choose the Advantage variant for those advanced routing requirements and the Essentials variant for limited routed access.
C9300X-48TX-A has 48 copper access ports, while C9300X-24HX-A has 24. That difference changes endpoint connection capacity per chassis rather than the maximum speed of each access port. A port plan exceeding 24 copper connections needs the 48-port model; a smaller port plan can use the 24-port model.
