The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P is a flagship campus access switch for enterprise floors that need dependable PoE connectivity in a single managed stack. Its modular uplinks and stacking support simplify moves, adds and changes while helping keep desks, phones, cameras and wireless access points easier to support.
As floors fill with more wired endpoints, PoE devices and frequent user changes, access networks need to stay orderly without adding extra operational overhead.
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P is a 48-port stackable enterprise access switch for standard PoE user floors, designed for environments that need one managed platform for desks, phones, cameras and wireless access points. It fits larger access closets where density, resilience and straightforward day-to-day management matter.
With 48×RJ45 1G ports, a 437 W PoE budget, modular uplinks and stacking support, the platform is suited to consolidated floor deployments that must keep multiple endpoint types connected and powered from a single switch block. Running on IOS-XE, it gives infrastructure teams a consistent operating model across busy access layers.
The result is a cleaner access design with fewer separate blocks to manage, easier moves, adds and changes, and a more practical way to segment and support shared floor services. It is built to keep daily operations predictable while preserving room for growth.
Our team can help you plan and deploy the Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P for your access environment and operational requirements.
Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P is an enterprise switching platform for campus and branch networks, designed to provide resilient access-layer connectivity, power delivery, and scalable operations in managed business environments.
High-Density Copper Access
The switch provides 48 RJ45 1G ports for wired endpoint connectivity at the access layer.
Power over Ethernet Delivery
Integrated PoE support supplies connected devices from a 437 W power budget for phones, access points, and similar endpoints.
Modular Uplink Architecture
A modular uplink design lets the platform adapt upstream connectivity to site requirements without changing the access-layer chassis.
Stackable Network Design
Stacking support enables multiple units to operate as a coordinated switching system for expanded access capacity.
Integrated Device Powering
PoE capability simplifies endpoint deployment by delivering network connectivity and power over the same access infrastructure.
Resilient Scale-Out Operation
Stacking support helps extend the access layer while maintaining a unified operational model across joined switches.
Adaptable Network Growth
The modular uplink structure supports changing aggregation or uplink needs as the network evolves.
When access-layer growth, endpoint power needs, or uplink planning become complex, our team can help align the Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P to the right campus network design.
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P is a 48-port PoE access switch for larger enterprise closets that need to support wired users, phones, cameras and wireless access points on the same floor. It fits operationally busy environments where segmentation, uptime and easier day-to-day support matter.
In professional services offices, this switch suits larger floor IDFs carrying desks, VoIP handsets, printers and meeting-room access points. It helps teams manage frequent desk moves, guest access and fault isolation without spreading the floor across too many separate access blocks.
Healthcare deployments often need one access closet to serve workstations, nurse stations, phones, cameras and Wi-Fi while keeping clinical, admin and guest traffic apart. The C9300-48P gives network teams a dense powered access layer for staffed areas that cannot tolerate disruption.
Finance teams use this model where staff desktops, phones, cameras and segmented wireless must stay stable and auditable. It supports larger access closets that need cleaner segmentation, dependable connectivity and simpler control across regulated users and customer-facing systems.
In hotels and hospitality, a single floor closet may need to support room APs, phones, IPTV endpoints, cameras and payment areas. The C9300-48P helps operations teams separate guest and back-office services while keeping peak-period support manageable.
Logistics sites rely on scanners, cameras, phones, APs and supervisor workstations across shift-based areas. This switch fits warehouse offices and depot closets where dense PoE access, straightforward moves and changes, and rapid fault isolation reduce pressure on lean support teams.
Our team can help design and deploy Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P access for office floors, clinical areas, regulated sites, hospitality estates and logistics depots with practical support for sizing, segmentation and rollout.
