C9300-48P-A Cisco Catalyst 9300 48-Port PoE+ Network Advantage Switch
The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches represent Cisco's premier stackable enterprise switching platform, engineered for advanced security, IoT integration, mobility solutions, and cloud connectivity. The C9300-48P-A model features 48 PoE+ ports with Network Advantage capabilities, establishing the next generation of the industry's most widely deployed switching infrastructure.
With 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth, these switches deliver the industry's highest-density stacking solution complemented by a highly flexible uplink architecture. Optimized specifically for high-density 802.11ac Wave2 deployments, the Catalyst 9300 Series sets new benchmarks for network scale and performance. The platform's future-ready x86 CPU architecture, enhanced memory capacity, and container support enable native execution of third-party applications and scripts directly within the switch.
