Cisco C9300X-48HX-E Catalyst 9300X Switch – 48x 10G mGig UPOE+, Network Essentials

About the C9300X-48HX-E

Uplinks on the C9300X-48HX-E come from one of four C9300X network modules, and none is included. They are the C9300X-NM-8M (8x 10G/1G multigigabit copper), the C9300X-NM-8Y (8x 25G/10G/1G SFP28), the C9300X-NM-2C (2x 100G/40G QSFP) and the C9300X-NM-4C (4x 100G/40G QSFP28).

The switch itself has 48 ports at 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10G multigigabit, each UPOE+ (90 W), on a 1U Catalyst 9300X running Cisco IOS XE and the Network Essentials software tier. It switches 1,760 Gbps and forwards 1309 Mpps. Software is the one thing that changes on the C9300X-48HX-A, which has Network Advantage.

With the included 1100 W power supply (PWR-C1-1100WAC-P) the PoE budget is 590 W. One 1900 W power supply gives 1,390 W, and two 1900 W power supplies give 3,290 W. Stacking is StackWise-1T at 1 Tbps for up to eight members, or 480 Gbps with Catalyst 9300 switches.
