Cisco C9300X-48HXN-E Catalyst 9300X Switch – 8x 10G + 40x 5G mGig UPOE+, Network Essentials

About the C9300X-48HXN-E

Network Essentials on Cisco IOS XE runs the C9300X-48HXN-E, a 1U Catalyst 9300X with two port speeds. Eight ports reach 10G and 40 reach 5G, all multigigabit and all UPOE+. Switching capacity is 960 Gbps and forwarding is 714.24 Mpps. The C9300X-48HXN-A is the same switch with Network Advantage.

PoE budget comes down to the power supplies you fit: 690 W with the included 1100 W power supply (PWR-C1-1100WAC-P), 1,490 W with one 1900 W power supply, and up to 3,390 W with two 1900 W power supplies.

No network module is included. Add a C9300X network module for uplinks, such as the C9300X-NM-8M (8x 10G/1G multigigabit copper), C9300X-NM-8Y (8x 25G/10G/1G SFP28) or C9300X-NM-2C (2x 100G/40G QSFP); the table below shows the parts for this model. The number of module ports is limited on this model. Stacking is StackWise-1T at 1 Tbps for up to eight members, or 480 Gbps with Catalyst 9300 switches.

What’s included

• C9300X-48HXN-E switch with 48 multigigabit UPOE+ ports and the Network Essentials software tier
• 1100 W AC power supply (PWR-C1-1100WAC-P)

Sold separately

• A C9300X network module, such as the C9300X-NM-8M, C9300X-NM-8Y or C9300X-NM-2C
• A 1900 W power supply (PWR-C1-1900WAC-P or PWR-C1-1900WHV-T), or a second power supply for redundancy
• StackPower cables (CAB-SPWR-30CM or CAB-SPWR-150CM) and data stack cables (STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M or STACK-T1-3M)
