The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P-E switch supports modular power supplies, giving you flexibility depending on your power and PoE needs.
The switch has two power supply slots: one active and one for redundancy.
- You can mix and match AC modules or use a blank cover in the second slot.
- Redundant modules are hot-swappable and can also provide extra PoE power.
- All modules support 100–240V AC input and include internal fans.
Intelligent PoE+
Intelligent PoE Capabilities
The Cisco Catalyst C9200-48P-E is a high-performance, enterprise-grade switch designed to deliver intelligent Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capabilities across 48 port. Supports up to 30W per port, ideal for powering; Wireless access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones and other PoE-enabled devices with a total PoE budget of 437W(default). Expandable to 1440W with an optional secondary power supply
Stacking
Stacking the Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P-E switch involves connecting multiple switches using StackWise cables and configuring them to operate as a unified system. This setup enhances redundancy, simplifies management, and boosts scalability. You’ll need compatible stack modules and cables, and ensure all switches run the same IOS XE version and license level.
Key Stacking Features
- StackWise Ports: Use dedicated StackWise-160 ports and stacking cables to connect up to eight switches.
- Unified Management: The stack behaves like one switch, with a single IP address and configuration.
- Role Assignment: One switch becomes the active (master), and another becomes standby. The rest are members.
- Failover Support: If the active switch fails, the standby takes over seamlessly.
Stacking Requirements
- Same model family: Only other Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches can be stacked with the C9300-48P-E.
- License level match: All switches in the stack must run the same license level (e.g., Network Advantage).
- Compatible software: Ensure all switches are running compatible IOS XE versions.
- Stacking cables: Use Cisco-approved StackWise-160 cables to connect the switches via their StackWise ports.
Fan
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P-E switch uses field-replaceable fan modules designed for redundancy and hot-swapping, ensuring high availability and cooling efficiency.
Fan Module Details
- Redundancy: The switch uses two fan modules in an N+1 configuration. If one fan fails, the other can maintain cooling to prevent overheating.
- Hot-Swappable: You can remove and replace a fan module while the switch is running. Just make sure to replace it within 5 minutes to avoid thermal issues.
- LED Indicator: A green LED lights up when the fan is operating correctly
Compatibility
- The C9300-48P-E is part of the Catalyst 9300 Series, which supports redundant fans and modular uplinks for enhanced flexibility and uptime
C9200-48P-E Ideal Use Cases
