The Cisco Catalyst C9300-24H-E is a high-performance, stackable enterprise access switch with 24 UPOE+ ports, modular uplinks, advanced Layer 2/3 features, and scalable stacking, designed to power and manage next-generation wired and IoT networks.
Product Description
The Cisco Catalyst C9300-24H-E is a stackable, enterprise-grade Layer 3 access switch from the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series. It offers 24 Gigabit UPOE+ ports, modular uplink flexibility, and Cisco’s advanced IOS XE operating system with a Network Essentials license. Purpose-built for high-performance access networks in campus and branch environments, it supports robust Power over Ethernet (up to 90 W per port) for powering demanding devices such as high-performance access points, large displays, and industrial IoT endpoints. With StackWise-480 stacking, optional uplink modules (1/10/25/40 Gbps), and rich Layer 2/Layer 3 services, the C9300-24H-E is ideal for converged enterprise access deployments.
Key Features
• 24 × Gigabit UPOE+ Ports — Cisco UPOE+ delivering up to 90 W per port (IEEE 802.3bt) for demanding endpoints like Wi-Fi 6 APs, digital signage, and industrial systems.
• Cisco IOS XE with Network Essentials — Enterprise-grade OS with Layer 2 switching, static routing, OSPF routed access, ACLs, QoS, and security features.
