Cisco Catalyst 9300 48-Port Data-Only Enterprise Switch, Network Advantage (C9300-48T-A)
Quick Buying Guide - Best for Advanced Data-Intensive Access
-
Network Advantage License: Unlocks advanced Layer 3 routing (BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS), SD-Access fabric capabilities, and comprehensive network segmentation (VRF, VXLAN).
-
High-Density Data Ports: Provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet data-only ports, serving as a highly streamlined 48 port switch platform perfectly optimized for environments where Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not required.
-
Modular Uplinks: Future-proof your network with a hot-swappable uplink slot supporting 1G, 10G, 25G, or 40G network modules.
-
High Availability: Supports StackWise-480 technology, providing 480 Gbps of bidirectional stacking bandwidth with sub-50ms failover.
đź’ˇ Pro Tip from CCIE Team: This switch is an excellent choice for data-intensive workstations, server racks, or trading floors. If your enterprise requires SD-Access and deep programmability, the Network Advantage license is required. For basic Layer 2/3 connectivity without advanced automation, consider the more cost-effective C9300-48T-E (Network Essentials). For a full software licensing breakdown, explore our Cisco Catalyst FAQ: Power, Stacking & Licensing Guide.
Product Overview
The cisco c9300-48t-a is a premier enterprise-class gigabit ethernet switch engineered to deliver exceptional data connectivity for campus backbones and high-demand branch networks. Running Cisco IOS XE with the advanced features package, the c9300-48t-a delivers SD-Access automation and deep network visibility without the thermal or power budget overhead of PoE circuitry.
If your core wiring closets, research laboratories, or financial trading floors demand uncompromising wire-speed data throughput, deploying c9300 48t a network assets ensures long-term operational scaling and maximum hardware redundancy.
