Cisco Catalyst C9300-48H Powerful Enterprise Switch with 48 Ports Cisco UPOE+ and Modular Uplinks

The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48H is a premium enterprise-grade stackable access switch designed to empower modern networks with robust connectivity, advanced security, and unmatched scalability. This powerful model in the Catalyst 9300 Series comes equipped with 48 Cisco UPOE+ ports, delivering up to 90W power per port for high-density power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, ideal for demanding IT and OT environments.

This Cisco Catalyst C9300-48H features flexible modular uplinks that support 10G, 25G, and 40G speeds, enabling seamless network expansion and future-proofing modern infrastructure. Built on the Cisco Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) 2.0 ASIC, it offers industry-leading 256 Gbps switching capacity and up to 736 Gbps with stacking, coupled with a forwarding rate of 190.48 Mpps (547.62 Mpps with stacking), ensuring wire-speed throughput for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

Enhanced with advanced security capabilities such as AES-256 MACsec encryption, hardware-based IPsec up to 100G line rate, Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA), and Cisco Trust Anchor technology, the Catalyst C9300-48H ensures comprehensive network protection from edge to cloud. It supports Cisco’s Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) architecture with policy-based automation, simplifying network management and segmentation across wired and wireless domains.

Additional features include deep buffering for lossless multimedia delivery, superior quality-of-service (QoS) for voice, video, and data traffic, and integrated Cisco ThousandEyes network telemetry for end-to-end visibility. The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48H switch also offers dual redundant power supplies and StackPower technology for power resiliency and operational continuity.

The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48H switch empowers IT teams to innovate and operate with confidence by providing a scalable, secure, and high-performance network foundation for the hybrid workforce of today and tomorrow.
