The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UXM provides enterprise campus access for mixed-speed copper environments, enabling modernisation without a full floor redesign. Its multigig PoE access and modular uplinks help teams support high-demand devices and keep hybrid spaces easier to adapt.
Growing mixed-speed access layers now have to carry higher device demand, denser wireless traffic and steady change without turning every floor into a rebuild.
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UXM is a multigigabit access switch for aggregation in wired environments that need to support both faster endpoints and standard devices. It suits floors, rooms and sites where Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points, high-throughput users and everyday copper connections must coexist.
Its 48×Multigig port design and modular uplink support let infrastructure teams refresh by area or device class while keeping the rest of the access layer stable. With dynamic routing capability and 580 Gbps switching capacity, it is built to handle demanding traffic patterns without making the access network a bottleneck.
That makes it easier to support changing desk layouts, wireless-heavy collaboration and mixed endpoint estates from a single platform. It also helps reduce disruption during refresh cycles and keeps high-demand services moving across the floor.

If you are planning campus access upgrades or branch standardization, our Cisco experts can help align the C9300-48UXM with your switching, uplink, and operational requirements.
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UXM is a mixed multigigabit access switch for copper-based edge networks that need to support Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points, high-throughput users, and standard endpoints in the same floor design.
Professional services offices with frequent desk moves and meeting-room churn need access that is simple to segment and easy to refresh. This model supports mixed-speed copper uplinks, letting teams upgrade demanding users and APs without redesigning every desk run.
Healthcare environments carry carts, phones, cameras, APs, and workstations across busy spaces where disruption is costly. The C9300-48UXM helps keep clinical, admin, and guest traffic separated while supporting multigigabit PoE where wireless and mobility are heaviest.
Architecture teams move large CAD and BIM files, run review sessions, and depend on predictable access for plotters and collaboration zones. This switch fits those studios by giving high-demand users and APs more headroom without forcing a full cabling refresh.
Media and entertainment teams need low-friction access for large media transfers, collaboration tools, and wireless-heavy work areas. The C9300-48UXM supports mixed endpoint speeds so edit bays and studio offices can be modernised in phases.
Hotels and hospitality sites face variable demand across guest rooms, conference floors, POS, IPTV, phones, cameras, and APs. This switch is a practical edge choice when service areas must stay separate and peak periods leave little room for network troubleshooting.
Our team can help design and deploy Cisco Catalyst C9300-48UXM access layers for office, clinical, studio, and hospitality environments, with practical support for sizing, segmentation, and rollout planning.
