Technical Specs

  • Up to 1 TB of stacking bandwidth: With Cisco StackWise-1T, Catalyst 9300 Series switches are the industry’s
    highest-density stacking bandwidth solution with the most flexible uplink architecture.
  • Flexible and dense uplink offerings with 100 Gigabit Ethernet (G), 40G, 25G, Multigigabit, 10G, and 1G modular
    uplinks.
  • Mixed stacking with backward compatibility: Stack your Catalyst 9300X fiber switches with Catalyst 9300 and
    Catalyst 9300X Multigigabit switches, bringing stackable high-speed fiber to the access layer.
  • Highest number of Multigigabit ports: With standalone and StackWise-1T, Catalyst 9300X models enable 48
    Multigigabit ports in standalone mode and 448 Multigigabit ports with an 8-member stack.
  • Highest 90W UPOE+ density: Enable your OT/IT needs with up to 48 ports of 90W Cisco UPOE+ in standalone
    mode or 384 ports of 90W UPOE+ with an 8-member stack.
  • StackPower with backward compatibility: Enable power resiliency with higher power budgets in a mixed
    Catalyst 9300 and Catalyst 9300X stack.
  • 100G IPsec in hardware: Built on the Cisco® Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) 2.0sec application-specific
    integrated circuit (ASIC), the Catalyst 9300X models come with 100G line-rate IPsec to enable various options
    for new edge connectivity.
  • Secure tunnel connectivity: With the new edge, the Catalyst 9300X enables secure connections to secure
    internet gateways, cloud service providers, and site-to-site connectivity using IPsec tunnels with 256-bit
    Advanced Encryption Standard encryption (AES-256) and speeds up to 100G.
  • Enhanced application hosting: With twice the capacity and additional RAM, Intel® QuickAssist Technology
    (QAT), and 2x 10G AppGig ports, the Catalyst 9300X models can host multiple Cisco Signed performance-savvy
    applications.
  • ThousandEyes enabled: Enable end-to-end visualization of the path from campus/branch to clouds/data center
    with Cisco ThousandEyes® Network and Application Synthetics (included with Cisco DNA Advantage licenses).
  • Cisco ASAc firewall enabled: Using application hosting, Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAc) and
    stateful inspection of traffic can be seamlessly added to existing networks without any additional hardware.
