Description

The C9300X-48HX-E is a fixed-configuration, stackable switch designed for high-density, high-performance access layer networks. It is a part of Cisco’s Catalyst 9300 Series, which is built for modern network architectures that require high throughput, security, and advanced features. This model is specifically engineered for businesses that need to manage complex, scalable networks.

Key Features:

• 48 Ports: This model includes 48 ports of 1G/10G Ethernet for network connectivity, providing flexibility in connecting a wide range of devices.

• Uplink Options: The switch includes 48x 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, and supports modular uplinks (such as 10G SFP+ and 25G SFP28) for high-speed interconnection to other network segments.

• Stackable Architecture: The Catalyst 9300X series supports stackable configurations, with a stackable bandwidth of up to 480 Gbps, enabling better network scalability and redundancy.

• High-Performance Hardware: The switch is powered by Cisco’s UADP 2.0 ASIC, ensuring high throughput and low latency for large-scale data transfers.

• Energy Efficient: The C9300X-48HX-E offers IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and supports Cisco EnergyWise to help businesses lower their overall power consumption.

Advanced Security and Networking Features:

• Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) integration: Provides network access control (NAC) for users and devices, ensuring robust security.

• Enables Software-Defined Access (SDA): Works in conjunction with Cisco DNA (Digital Network Architecture) for centralized automation and management of network policies.

• MACsec: MacSec encryption support for secure data transmission between devices in the network.

• Multigigabit Ethernet: Support for higher speeds like 2.5G, 5G, and 10G Ethernet, providing flexibility to future-proof the network for evolving demands.

• Advanced Routing: Provides Layer 3 routing capabilities (Static Routing, EIGRP, OSPF, BGP) for better traffic management and efficient network routing.

• StackWise Technology: Cisco’s StackWise Virtual technology enables multiple switches to operate as a single unit, simplifying management and increasing operational efficiency.
