Catalyst 9300 Series 24‑Port Multigigabit UPOE Network Advantage Switch
Product Description
The Cisco C9300‑24UX‑A is a high‑performance, enterprise‑grade access switch from the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series designed for modern campus and enterprise networks that require multigigabit port speeds, advanced power delivery, and scalable Layer 2/Layer 3 features. It combines 24 multigigabit UPOE (Universal Power over Ethernet) ports capable of operating at speeds from 100 Mbps up to 10 Gbps with Cisco’s robust Network Advantage software license for advanced routing, segmentation, and security. This model also offers modular uplink flexibility and Cisco’s StackWise‑480 stacking technology, making it ideal for demanding environments such as large enterprise access layers, high‑density wireless backhaul, and smart building deployments.
