About the Catalyst 9300 C9300-48S-A 48-Port Multi-Gigabit Switch

```html

Built for enterprise networks demanding sustained performance at scale, the Cisco Catalyst 9300 C9300-48S-A delivers 48 Multi-Gigabit ports with a switching capacity of 128 Gbps and forwarding throughput of 95.2 Mpps. This access-layer workhorse handles dense user environments, campus aggregation, and data center edge deployments where reliability and consistent throughput matter. Four 10G SFP+ uplink ports provide flexible connectivity to core infrastructure, while StackWise Virtual support enables operational simplicity across multiple switch deployments without dedicated stacking cables. The combination of high port density and proven Catalyst architecture makes this switch suitable for organizations running virtual desktop infrastructure, cloud-native applications, and growing IoT ecosystems that require deterministic latency and near-zero packet loss.

Management integrates seamlessly with Cisco DNA Center, CLI, and web-based interfaces, reducing operational overhead in complex environments. Optional redundant power supplies ensure uptime-critical deployments remain resilient. Whether refreshing campus access infrastructure, consolidating edge connectivity in multi-site operations, or supporting bandwidth-intensive AI model training and inference workloads, the C9300-48S-A provides the port density and switching fabric to grow with demand. Its compact form factor—44.5 x 44.5 x 4.45 cm—fits standard rack deployments without sacrificing performance.

  • 48 Multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports + 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks for flexible scaling
  • 128 Gbps switching capacity with 95.2 Mpps forwarding rate
  • StackWise Virtual for multi-switch management as single logical unit
  • Cisco DNA Center integration for network automation and visibility
  • Operating range 0°C to 45°C with optional redundant PSU for mission-critical sites

Available through Omnixon Global with competitive pricing across GCC, Asia, and European markets. Request an RFQ or detailed quote for volume deployments, lease options, or integration with existing Cisco infrastructure.
