Cisco C9300X-48HXN-A Catalyst 9300X Switch – 8x 10G + 40x 5G mGig UPOE+, Network Advantage

About the C9300X-48HXN-A

The C9300X-48HXN-A splits its 48 ports by speed. Eight run at 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10G, the other 40 run at 100M, 1G, 2.5G or 5G, and all of them are UPOE+. On the C9300X-48HX-A all 48 run up to 10G. This 1U Catalyst 9300X has the Network Advantage software tier on Cisco IOS XE; the C9300X-48HXN-E is the same switch with Network Essentials.

PoE starts at 690 W on the included 1100 W power supply (PWR-C1-1100WAC-P) and 1,490 W on one 1900 W power supply (PWR-C1-1900WAC-P or PWR-C1-1900WHV-T). With a 1900 W power supply in place, a second power supply brings 1,840 W with 350 W, 2,205 W with 715 W, 2,590 W with 1,100 W, or 3,390 W with 1,900 W.

Switching capacity is 960 Gbps and forwarding is 714.24 Mpps. Uplinks need an optional C9300X network module, such as the C9300X-NM-8Y for 8x 25G/10G/1G SFP28 or the C9300X-NM-2C for 2x 100G/40G QSFP. The number of module ports is limited on this model. StackWise-1T stacks up to eight members at 1 Tbps, or with Catalyst 9300 switches at 480 Gbps.

What’s included

• C9300X-48HXN-A switch with 48 multigigabit UPOE+ ports (8x up to 10G, 40x up to 5G) and the Network Advantage software tier
• 1100 W AC power supply (PWR-C1-1100WAC-P)

Sold separately

• A C9300X network module for uplinks, such as the C9300X-NM-8M, C9300X-NM-8Y or C9300X-NM-2C
• A 1900 W power supply and a second power supply for a larger PoE budget or redundancy
• Data stack cables (STACK-T1-50CM, STACK-T1-1M or STACK-T1-3M) to stack it
