Description

The Cisco Catalyst C9300-24P-E is an enterprise-class switch from the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series, built for secure, scalable, and highly available access-layer deployments.

The switch provides 24 × 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, allowing connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras, and other PoE-enabled endpoints to receive both network connectivity and power through a single Ethernet cable. Cisco specifies a 437W PoE budget for the C9300-24P-E when equipped with its standard 715W AC power supply.

Unlike the fixed-uplink C9300L models, the C9300-24P-E uses a modular uplink architecture, allowing compatible Cisco network modules to be selected according to the required uplink speed and connectivity.

The platform supports StackWise-480, providing high-bandwidth switch stacking, as well as StackPower for power resiliency and power sharing across compatible switches. The “-E” designation identifies the Network Essentials software package.
