About the C9300-48T-A
The C9300-48T-A is a 48-port copper Catalyst 9300 without PoE, running Cisco IOS XE with the Network Advantage software tier. The C9300-48T-E is the same switch with Network Essentials; the C9300-48P-A adds PoE+ to the same 48 ports.
With no PoE to deliver, it runs on the 350 W supply it comes with, and a second supply can be added for redundancy. Switching capacity is 256 Gbps and the forwarding rate 190.47 Mpps.
Uplinks are modular: add a network module for 1G SFP, 10G SFP+, mGig copper, 25G SFP28 or 40G QSFP ports. Up to eight switches stack over StackWise-480 at 480 Gbps.

Common questions
Does the C9300-48T-A support PoE?
No. It is the data-only 48-port model, and it comes with a 350 W supply. The C9300-48P-A is the PoE+ version.
Will a bigger power supply add PoE?
No. PoE comes with the P, U, UN, UX and UXM models, not with the power supply.
