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

About the C9300X-24Y-E

The C9300X-24Y-E is the Network Essentials version of this 24-port SFP28 Catalyst 9300X, running Cisco IOS XE in 1U. Each port runs at 1G, 10G or 25G. The C9300X-24Y-A is the same switch with Network Advantage.

Uplink capacity depends on the module you add, since no network module is included. The options run from 8x 10G/1G multigigabit copper (C9300X-NM-8M) and 8x 25G/10G/1G SFP28 (C9300X-NM-8Y) to 2x 100G/40G QSFP (C9300X-NM-2C) or 4x 100G/40G QSFP28 (C9300X-NM-4C).

For stacking, StackWise-1T carries 1 Tbps across up to eight members, and Catalyst 9300 switches can join at 480 Gbps. Switching capacity is 2,000 Gbps and the forwarding rate is 1488 Mpps. This model is data only with no PoE, and it comes with a 715 W AC power supply; a second power supply is optional for redundancy.
