Cisco Catalyst 9300 Switches from M&F Collaboration are stackable 1RU enterprise access switches for campus and branch closets, with PoE+, Cisco UPOE, UPOE+, Multigigabit, and fiber models. Choose C9300 for modular uplinks with StackWise-480 and StackPower, C9300X for 10G mGig UPOE+, 25G SFP28 fiber, and StackWise-1T, C9300L for fixed 1G/10G/40G uplinks, or C9300LM for shallow-depth closets. We stock new, spare (=), and refurbished (-RF) units in Network Essentials (-E), Network Advantage (-A), and Meraki-managed (-M) versions.

  • Power endpoints: 30W PoE+, 60W UPOE, and 90W UPOE+ models for phones, Wi-Fi 6/6E APs, and cameras.
  • Stack: Up to 8 switches per stack on every family.
  • Complete the BOM: Network modules, stack cables, and power supplies are available too.

How to choose a Cisco Catalyst 9300 switch

The Catalyst 9300 is Cisco's lead stackable access platform on IOS XE. Every model is a 1RU switch that stacks with compatible members into one logical switch, so you size each closet by ports, PoE watts, uplink speed, and license tier. Start with the family, then lock the access-port type, power supplies, and subscription before you send the RFQ.

1. Pick the family

C9300 models such as C9300-48P-A and C9300-48U-A use modular C9300-NM uplinks (1G, Multigigabit, 10G, 25G, or 40G), StackWise-480, and StackPower. C9300X models such as C9300X-48HX-A and C9300X-24Y-A add StackWise-1T, C9300X-NM uplinks up to 100G, and line-rate IPsec up to 100G with an HSEC key. C9300L models such as C9300L-48P-4X-A have fixed -4G (4×1G SFP), -4X (4×10G SFP+), or -2Q (2×40G QSFP+) uplinks and StackWise-320 with an optional stack kit. C9300LM models such as C9300LM-24U-4Y-E are shallow-depth switches with four fixed SFP28 uplinks.

2. Match ports and PoE to the endpoints

Use 1G PoE+ (P, PF) for phones and standard APs, Cisco UPOE (U) at 60W, or Cisco UPOE+ (H) at 90W for high-power devices such as C9300-48H-A. For Wi-Fi 6/6E, choose Multigigabit: C9300-48UXM-A (36×2.5G plus 12×10G), C9300-48UN-A (48×5G), C9300-24UX-A (24×10G), or C9300X-48HXN-A (48 mGig UPOE+ ports, a mix of 5G and 10G). Fiber access runs on 1G SFP models such as C9300-24S-A or 25G SFP28 models such as C9300X-12Y-A. Prefer Cisco datasheet port speeds over listing titles.

3. Plan uplinks, stacking, and power

Network modules are separate PIDs on C9300 and C9300X: for example C9300-NM-8X (8×10G SFP+) or C9300X-NM-2C (2×100G/40G). C9300X modules fit only C9300X switches. Stacks hold up to 8 members with the same license level; C9300L/LM never stack with modular models, and C9300LM needs C9300L-STACK-KIT2. StackPower works only on C9300 and C9300X. Size PoE from the power supply: a C9300-48P with its default 715W supply has 437W of PoE, so add a second supply when every port needs full PoE+.

4. Choose the license and condition

-E means Network Essentials and -A means Network Advantage, both perpetual and embedded in the hardware. New -E and -A orders also need a term subscription: matching-tier Cisco DNA or Cisco Catalyst (3, 5, or 7 years), or Cisco Networking Subscription switching licenses. -M models are ordered for Meraki dashboard management with a Meraki license. On our listings, -RF means refurbished; confirm Smart Account entitlements before production use.

Cisco Catalyst 9300 Switch FAQs

What is the difference between C9300, C9300X, C9300L, and C9300LM?

C9300 and C9300X have modular uplinks and StackPower; C9300X adds 10G mGig UPOE+, 25G SFP28 access ports, 100G uplinks, and StackWise-1T. C9300L and C9300LM have fixed uplinks and StackWise-320; C9300LM is the shallow-depth model.

What do -E, -A, and -M mean on a Catalyst 9300 part number?

-E is Network Essentials and -A is Network Advantage, both perpetual licenses embedded in the switch. -M is a Meraki-managed model that needs a Meraki Enterprise or Advanced license.

What does -RF mean on a Catalyst 9300 listing?

On M&F Collaboration listings, -RF means refurbished. For example, C9300-48P-E-RF is a refurbished C9300-48P-E.

Do C9300 and C9300X switches include an uplink module?

Only if one is ordered with them. Network modules such as C9300-NM-8X or C9300X-NM-2C are separate PIDs. C9300L and C9300LM uplinks are fixed.

How many Catalyst 9300 switches can be stacked?

Up to 8 per stack. C9300 uses StackWise-480, C9300X uses StackWise-1T, and C9300L/LM use StackWise-320. Members need the same license level, and C9300L/LM cannot join a C9300 or C9300X stack.

Which Catalyst 9300 models deliver 90W UPOE+?

The H models, such as C9300-48H-A and C9300-24H-E (1G), and the C9300X HX and HXN models, such as C9300X-48HX-A and C9300X-48HXN-A (Multigigabit).

Is a subscription license required with a new Catalyst 9300?

Yes. New -E and -A orders need a term subscription: a matching-tier Cisco DNA or Cisco Catalyst subscription (3, 5, or 7 years) or Cisco Networking Subscription switching licenses. -M models need a Meraki license instead.
