Cisco Catalyst 9300 48-Port PoE+ Enterprise Network Switch | 480 Gbps StackWise | SD-Access Ready

Cisco Catalyst 9300 48-Port PoE+ Enterprise Network Switch (C9300-48P-A)

The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series is Cisco’s flagship stackable enterprise switching platform, engineered for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud-ready networks. The C9300-48P-A model delivers 48 PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet ports with a powerful 1440W power capacity, making it ideal for high-density deployments of wireless access points, IP phones, surveillance systems, and IoT devices.

As the foundation of Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access), the Catalyst 9300 enables policy-based automation, scalable segmentation, and advanced threat protection. With 480 Gbps StackWise bandwidth, it provides industry-leading stacking performance and flexible uplink architecture for enterprise-grade resilience and scalability.

Built on Cisco IOS XE and an x86 CPU architecture, the Catalyst 9300 is future-ready—capable of hosting containers and running third-party applications directly on the switch.
