Cisco C9300X-24Y-A Catalyst 9300X Switch – 24x 25G SFP28, Modular Uplinks, Network Advantage

About the C9300X-24Y-A

Switching capacity on the C9300X-24Y-A is 2,000 Gbps, with a forwarding rate of 1488 Mpps, across 24 SFP28 ports that run at 1G, 10G or 25G. It is a 1U Catalyst 9300X running Cisco IOS XE with the Network Advantage software tier. The C9300X-24Y-E is the same switch with Network Essentials.

Uplinks come from an optional C9300X network module, and none is included. Four fit this switch: the C9300X-NM-8M with 8x 10G/1G multigigabit copper, the C9300X-NM-8Y with 8x 25G/10G/1G SFP28, the C9300X-NM-2C with 2x 100G/40G QSFP and the C9300X-NM-4C with 4x 100G/40G QSFP28.

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