C9300-24UX-E - Cisco Catalyst 9300 24-Port mGig and UPOE Network Essentials
High-Performance Multigigabit UPOE Access Switch with Advanced Layer 2 Capabilities
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-24UX-E Multi-Gigabit UPOE Access Switch is a powerful enterprise-class access-layer switch designed to support next-generation wireless and high-power endpoints. Part of the Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series, it delivers multi-gigabit speeds up to 10G over standard copper cabling while providing Universal Power over Ethernet (UPOE) with up to 60W per port - ideal for Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, IP cameras, video endpoints, and IoT devices.
The switch features 24 multigigabit RJ45 ports supporting 100Mbps, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G, ensuring seamless connectivity for bandwidth-intensive devices without requiring new cabling. With modular uplink flexibility, organizations can scale bandwidth using 10G or 40G uplink modules, future-proofing the access layer.
Built on a high-performance architecture, the C9300-24UX-E delivers up to 736 Gbps switching capacity, 154.76 Mpps forwarding rate, and StackWise-480 technology, allowing up to 8 switches to operate as a single logical unit with 480 Gbps stack bandwidth. This ensures high availability, simplified management, and consistent performance at scale.
Running Cisco IOS XE with Network Essentials licensing, the switch supports robust Layer 2 features, advanced QoS, and strong security controls including 802.1X authentication, port security, DHCP snooping, and MACsec encryption. Integration with Cisco DNA Center, Plug-and-Play provisioning, and programmable REST APIs enables centralized management, automation, and operational efficiency.
With redundant power supplies, variable-speed fans, and enterprise-grade reliability, the Cisco Catalyst C9300-24UX-E is an excellent choice for organizations seeking a secure, scalable, and UPOE-capable multigigabit access switch for modern campus networks.
