About the Catalyst 9300X C9300X-48TX-E 48-Port 10G/25G Switch

The Cisco Catalyst 9300X C9300X-48TX-E delivers a 1.48 Tbps switching capacity with a forwarding rate of 1100 Mpps, engineered for high-performance enterprise data center and campus networks. This 1U rack-mountable switch features 48 RJ-45 multigigabit copper downlink ports supporting 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G speeds, backed by the Cisco UADP 3.0 ASIC for intelligent packet processing. With 2 uplink module slots supporting C9300X-NM-8Y or C9300X-NM-2C modules, the platform scales to meet growing bandwidth demands while maintaining line-rate performance across all ports.

Network engineers and infrastructure teams will appreciate the comprehensive management capabilities, including NETCONF, RESTCONF, gRPC, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, CLI access via SSH/Telnet, and direct integration with Cisco DNA Center for intent-based networking. The part number CISCO-C9300X-48TX-E-CATALYST-9300X-48-10G-25G includes IEEE 802.1AE MACsec encryption with 256-bit security at line rate on all ports, protecting sensitive data in motion. Routing flexibility spans static routing, OSPFv2/v3, EIGRPv6, and BGP with appropriate licensing, plus dual IPv4/IPv6 support. StackWise-480 technology enables up to 8 switches to stack with 480 Gbps inter-stack bandwidth for simplified management and resilience. The switch runs Cisco IOS XE with Network Essentials licensing and operates reliably in environments from 0°C to 45°C.

Deployment Scenarios

  • High-speed campus core and distribution layer aggregation requiring multi-gigabit port density
  • Data center east-west traffic with MACsec encryption for regulatory compliance and security
  • Multi-site deployments leveraging StackWise-480 for resilient, unified switching fabric across 8 stack members
  • BGP routing environments in service provider and enterprise backbone networks with dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support
  • Automated infrastructure integration via Cisco DNA Center and standards-based APIs (RESTCONF, gRPC, NETCONF)
