The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48TX provides high-speed copper aggregation for enterprise campus networks where wired users need faster connectivity without switch-supplied power. With multigig access and modular uplinks, it helps keep workstations, lab systems and local appliances moving efficiently while supporting predictable network growth.
As environments grow denser and more traffic depends on wired access, infrastructure teams need LAN capacity that keeps pace without adding unnecessary change, complexity or wasted headroom.
The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48TX is built for data-heavy copper access in workspaces, labs and local server rooms where users and systems need more than standard 1GbE. With 48×Multigig ports and a modular uplink, it suits deployments that need faster wired connectivity without moving endpoints straight to fibre.
Its 1760 Gbps switching capacity and dynamic routing help keep local traffic moving predictably across mixed workloads. Running IOS-XE, it gives teams a familiar platform for operational control where access demand, server-room links and aggregation requirements shift over time.
This model is a practical fit when switch-supplied power is not the requirement. It helps avoid paying for PoE capacity that adds no value, while supporting faster copper access for workstations, lab systems and network appliances. The result is a cleaner way to support dense wired users and keep the LAN from becoming the daily bottleneck.
If you are planning a deployment around the Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48TX, our team can help align it to the workload, uplink and operational model you need.
Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48TX is an enterprise switching platform for access-layer deployments that need high-density wired connectivity, scalable uplink options, and resilient operation in campus and branch networks.
Multigig Access Design
The platform provides 48 Multigig ports to support dense access connectivity for modern enterprise edge environments.
Modular Uplink Architecture
Modular uplinks let the switch adapt upstream connectivity to the network design without changing the access platform.
High Switching Throughput
The switch delivers 1760 Gbps of switching capacity to support high-volume traffic flows across the access layer.
Enterprise Edge Integration
Its access-layer architecture is suited to campus and branch deployments that need a centralized switching platform for wired endpoints.
Hot-Swappable Power
Hot-swappable power supplies help maintain serviceability and support replacement without taking the switch out of operation.
Platform Continuity
The switch is designed for operational resilience in enterprise networks where access connectivity must remain available during maintenance events.
Lifecycle Flexibility
The combination of modular uplinks and redundant power supports controlled changes and ongoing platform maintenance in live environments.
If you need dependable access switching for a dense enterprise edge, our Cisco specialists can help align uplink design, capacity, and resilience to your network requirements.
The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48TX is a 48-port high-speed copper access switch for environments that have outgrown 1GbE but do not need switch-supplied power. It fits wired workstation, lab, and local server access where predictable throughput matters.
Development teams with dense workstation rows, test hosts, and shared services need fast copper access without re-cabling to fibre. The C9300X-48TX helps keep builds, source control, and local lab traffic moving when environments change often.
Architecture offices move large model files, plotter jobs, and review sessions across busy studio floors. This switch suits those copper-connected spaces where design staff need higher LAN speed and IT wants to avoid unnecessary PoE spend.
Post-production teams and review rooms generate heavy file transfers, collaboration traffic, and shared access to storage. The C9300X-48TX gives creative users faster wired connectivity where room layouts and desktop devices do not justify powered ports.
Financial offices often need stable connectivity for desktops, voice, and segmented services while keeping traffic auditable. This model fits regulated floors that need more than 1GbE for users, but no switch power for endpoints.
In data centres, teams need predictable copper links for management, out-of-band access, and staging racks separated from production traffic. The C9300X-48TX provides practical headroom for server-room connectivity without moving to a full leaf design.
Our team can help design and deploy Cisco Catalyst C9300X-48TX switching for studios, offices, labs, and server-room access, with support for port planning, segmentation, and deployment fit across your operational environment.
