Cisco C9300X-12Y-A Catalyst 9300X Switch – 12x 25G SFP28, Modular Uplinks, Network Advantage

About the C9300X-12Y-A

Twelve ports, all SFP28, each running at 1G, 10G or 25G: the C9300X-12Y-A fits them into a 1U Catalyst 9300X with the Network Advantage software tier and Cisco IOS XE. It switches 1,000 Gbps and forwards 744.04 Mpps. The C9300X-12Y-E is the same switch with Network Essentials.

This is a data-only model, so it has no PoE budget. It includes a 715 W AC power supply, and a second power supply is optional for redundancy. StackWise-1T joins up to eight members at 1 Tbps, and the switch also stacks with Catalyst 9300 switches at 480 Gbps.

Uplinks are modular and no network module is included. C9300X network modules give you 8x 10G/1G multigigabit (C9300X-NM-8M), 8x 25G/10G/1G SFP28 (C9300X-NM-8Y) or 2x 100G/40G QSFP (C9300X-NM-2C).

What’s included

• C9300X-12Y-A switch with 12 SFP28 ports and the Network Advantage software tier
• 715 W AC power supply (PWR-C1-715WAC-P)

Sold separately
