Cisco C9300-24T-E Access Enterprise & Campus Switch
The Cisco Catalyst 9300-24T-E is a 1 RU, fixed-access enterprise campus switch engineered for U.S. networks—from New York City branch offices to Silicon Valley innovation labs.
As the data-only member of the Catalyst 9300 Series with the Network Essentials license, it delivers 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 RJ-45 downlink ports and one hot-swappable network-module slot for flexible uplink expansion.
With 208 Gbps of non-blocking switching capacity and a wire-speed forwarding rate of 154.76 Mpps, it supports Cisco StackWise-480 stacking for up to 480 Gbps of bidirectional back-panel bandwidth.
Powered by an x86 CPU complex with 8 GB DRAM, 16 GB flash, and a USB 3.0 SSD slot, it runs Cisco IOS XE and integrates seamlessly with Cisco DNA Center or Meraki Dashboard for centralized management.
