Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48HX Powerful 48-Port 10G Multigigabit UPOE Modular Switch – Stackable

The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48HX sets a new standard for stackable enterprise access switching, engineered for the hybrid, high-performance workspace. Designed as a leading member of the Catalyst 9300 Series, this advanced 48-port multigigabit switch transforms network connectivity with market-leading stackable bandwidth up to 1 Tbps using StackWise-1T, high-density 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M multigigabit copper, and modular uplink flexibility supporting up to 100G.

The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48HX model revolutionises network resiliency and scalability, offering full Cisco UPOE (Universal Power Over Ethernet) support—delivering 90W per port—and robust power stacking with backward compatibility. Security is paramount, with hardware-based, line-rate 100G IPsec, integrated AES-256 MACsec link encryption, and Cisco Trust Anchor technologies providing layered protection and secure boot capabilities. Engineered for cloud-ready architectures and future-proof agility, The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48HX switch features advanced programmability via Cisco IOS XE, modular application hosting with double the memory of earlier models, and support for seamless migration to Meraki cloud management.

Flexible network automation, deep buffer support, advanced QoS, and full integration for Cisco ThousandEyes and ASAc application hosting round out the feature set, ensuring the C9300X-48HX delivers enduring investment protection, simplified operations, and cloud-scale manageability—positioning this model as the foundation for next-generation access and seamless business continuity.
