Cisco C9300X-48TX-E Catalyst 9300X Switch – 48x 10G mGig, Modular Uplinks, Network Essentials

About the C9300X-48TX-E

Network Essentials is the software tier on the C9300X-48TX-E, a 1U Catalyst 9300X running Cisco IOS XE with 48 data-only multigigabit ports. Those ports run at 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10G. For Network Advantage, the C9300X-48TX-A is the same switch with that tier.

This model has no PoE. A 715 W AC power supply is included, and a second power supply is optional for redundancy. Switching capacity is 1,760 Gbps and the forwarding rate is 1309 Mpps.

Four C9300X network modules add uplinks, and none comes with the switch: C9300X-NM-8M, 8x 10G/1G multigigabit copper; C9300X-NM-8Y, 8x 25G/10G/1G SFP28; C9300X-NM-2C, 2x 100G/40G QSFP; and C9300X-NM-4C, 4x 100G/40G QSFP28. A stack holds up to eight members over StackWise-1T at 1 Tbps, and Catalyst 9300 switches stack with it at 480 Gbps.

What’s included

• C9300X-48TX-E switch with 48 multigigabit ports and the Network Essentials software tier
• 715 W AC power supply (PWR-C1-715WAC-P)
