Cisco-Catalyst C9300-48P-E
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P-E is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ managed switch designed for enterprise access-layer, campus, and branch networks. It provides 48 × 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ copper ports, supports modular uplinks, and includes the Cisco Network Essentials software package.
Description
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P-E is an enterprise-class stackable switch from the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series, designed to deliver secure, scalable, and reliable network connectivity for modern business environments.
The switch provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports with PoE+, allowing compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras, and IoT devices to receive both network connectivity and electrical power over a single Ethernet cable. Cisco officially identifies the C9300-48P-E as a 48-port 1G copper PoE+ model with modular uplinks and Network Essentials.
Unlike the fixed-uplink C9300L models, the C9300-48P-E uses a modular uplink architecture, allowing compatible Cisco network modules to provide higher-speed uplink connectivity according to the requirements of the network.
The Catalyst 9300 platform supports StackWise-480, providing high-bandwidth switch stacking, as well as StackPower, which enables power sharing and resiliency between compatible switches. The platform runs Cisco IOS XE and supports advanced enterprise security and network-management capabilities.
