About the C9300-48T-E
The C9300-48T-E has 48 copper ports at 10/100/1000 and no PoE, in a 1U Catalyst 9300 running Cisco IOS XE with the Network Essentials software tier. The C9300-48T-A is the same switch with Network Advantage.
It comes with a 350 W supply and takes a second for redundancy. It switches 256 Gbps and forwards 190.47 Mpps. If some ports need to power phones or access points, the C9300-48P-E is the PoE+ version.
There are no built-in uplinks. Add a network module, from four 1G SFP ports to two 40G QSFP ports, and stack up to eight switches over StackWise-480 at 480 Gbps.
