About the C9300X-24HX-A
The C9300X-24HX-A runs each of its 24 ports at 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10G, and every port is UPOE+. It is a 1U Catalyst 9300X on Cisco IOS XE with the Network Advantage software tier, switching 800 Gbps and forwarding 654.72 Mpps. The C9300X-24HX-E is the same switch with Network Essentials.
Its PoE budget follows the power supplies. The included 1100 W power supply (PWR-C1-1100WAC-P) gives 735 W, and one 1900 W power supply (PWR-C1-1900WAC-P or PWR-C1-1900WHV-T) gives 1,535 W. Keep the 1100 W power supply and add a second one, and the budget becomes 1,085 W with 350 W, 1,450 W with 715 W, 1,835 W with 1,100 W, or 2,160 W with 1,900 W. At 2,160 W all ports run at full PoE.
Uplinks are modular, and no network module is included. C9300X network modules such as the C9300X-NM-8M (8x 10G/1G multigigabit copper), C9300X-NM-8Y (8x 25G/10G/1G SFP28) and C9300X-NM-2C (2x 100G/40G QSFP) provide them. StackWise-1T stacks up to eight members at 1 Tbps, and the switch also stacks with Catalyst 9300 switches at 480 Gbps.
