Multigigabit Technology

One of the standout features of the C9300-48UXM-E is its support for multigigabit Ethernet. Unlike traditional switches that max out at 1 Gbps on standard cabling, this model supports up to 10 Gbps over existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling, eliminating the need for costly infrastructure upgrades. This makes it ideal for high-bandwidth applications, such as Wi-Fi 6/6E deployments, high-definition video, and large file transfers.

Scalability and Flexibility

The Cisco C9300-48UXM-E features modular uplink architecture and StackWise-480 support, enabling up to eight switches to operate as a single logical unit. This architecture provides significant scalability for growing networks and simplifies network management.

Enhanced Security and Performance

Built with a security-first approach, the C9300-48UXM-E offers hardware-level encryption with MACsec-256, secure boot, and runtime defenses. It’s also optimized for advanced telemetry and application hosting, delivering insights directly from the network layer.

Energy Efficiency and Resiliency

The switch supports hot-swappable power supplies and fans for high availability, and includes Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) compliance, helping reduce power consumption without sacrificing performance.

Use Cases

• High-density enterprise campus deployments

• Digital workplace readiness with Wi-Fi 6/6E
