Product Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48T-A is an enterprise-level stackable switch with multimedia, secured high-performance, and scalability fabric; it specifically offers security, scalability, and high-performance networking functions. It forms part of the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series, being designed to support the new campus and branch environments, with support for Layer 3 routing, simplified automation, and high security levels. The C9300-48T-A has 48 Gigabit Ethernet data-only ports, which makes it perfect in deployments where high-density connectivity is needed and Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not a priority. It is supported by the Network Advantage software developed by Cisco, and it offers greater programmability, policy-based segmentation, and seamless integration with Cisco DNA Center to implement intent-based networking.
Key Features and Benefits
-
High-Density Gigabit Access
Link to 48 devices to have the entire Gigabit Ethernet speed, although it is optimized for where PoE is not needed, including desktops, laptops, and linking to other switches.
-
Fire-powerific Stacking Performance.
Confidently scale with Cisco StackWise-480 technology, which provides up to 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth in single modular switches to enable resilient and virtually simplified management of many switches.
-
State of the Art Security.
Protect your network with in-built MACsec encryption, TrustSec, versatility, and flexibility in segmentation facilities, which offer security over the threat end-to-end.
-
Improved Management and Robotization.
Use Cisco DNA Center to automate organizational operations and ensure quality and oversight, reduce complexity, and speed deployment.
-
Enterprise-Class Resiliency
Guarantee business continuity by having hot-swappable power supplies and fans as a redundancy in case of power, and forwards and software carry out continuously.
-
Future-Ready Design
With open APIs, open source programmability, model-driven telemetry, and programmability that evolves network needs, the switch is based on the Cisco IOS XE, a modular and programmable operating system based on the open source platform.

Product Information
Cisco Catalyst C9300-48T-A is the best access switching enterprise platform that provides unparalleled scalability, flexibility, and security. This model features 48 Gigabit individual ports, which are not powered over Ethernet, making it ideal to use when connecting high-speed uplinks with end-users and initializations.
The technology of StackWise-480 provides the ability of the switch to keep pace with the increasing business needs to provide a simple and robust business without failures. The Network Advantage software package helps the IT staff to have more advanced features, which include routing and segmenting, automating the network as a future-proof solution against digital transformation projects. The switch supports full support of Cisco DNA Center and provides intent-based networking, policy-based automation, and real-time analysis with full support of Cisco DNA Center.
The C9300-48T-A deployed can be used as an access or distribution layer, which combines high-performance switching and greater security, along with reduced management capabilities.
