About the C9300X-24HX-E
On the C9300X-24HX-E you choose the uplinks. No network module is included; an optional C9300X network module adds them, such as the C9300X-NM-8M for 8x 10G/1G multigigabit copper, the C9300X-NM-8Y for 8x 25G/10G/1G SFP28 or the C9300X-NM-2C for 2x 100G/40G QSFP. The table below shows the parts for this model.
The switch has 24 ports running 100M to 10G, all UPOE+, in a 1U Catalyst 9300X on Cisco IOS XE with the Network Essentials software tier. For Network Advantage, the C9300X-24HX-A is the same switch. Stacking is StackWise-1T at 1 Tbps with up to eight members, or 480 Gbps with Catalyst 9300 switches.
The included 1100 W power supply (PWR-C1-1100WAC-P) gives a 735 W PoE budget, and a 1900 W power supply gives 1,535 W. All ports reach full PoE at 2,160 W, which takes two power supplies: the 1100 W with a second 1,900 W, or a 1900 W with a second 715 W, 1,100 W or 1,900 W.
What’s included
- C9300X-24HX-E switch with 24 multigigabit UPOE+ ports and the Network Essentials software tier

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