Product Overview

The Cisco Catalyst 9300L-48P-4X-EDU is a high-performance Layer 3 managed switch tailored for scalable deployment in enterprise and education environments. With 48 PoE+ ports supporting up to 505W of total PoE budget and four SFP+ 10G uplink ports, this model is engineered for robust data throughput, powering devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without requiring separate power infrastructure. It features Cisco StackWise-320 technology, allowing stack bandwidth of up to 320 Gbps and greatly enhancing scalability and redundancy in multi-switch configurations.

Advanced features include support for Layer 3 routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, RIP, BGP), comprehensive QoS, MACsec encryption, and full IPv6 readiness. A switching capacity of 176 Gbps (up to 496 Gbps with stacking) and forwarding rate of 130.95 Mpps (369.05 Mpps stacked) ensure high-speed communication across demanding networks. With a 16MB buffer, support for 4094 VLANs, 32,000 MAC entries, and 64K FNF entries, the Catalyst 9300L is designed for intelligent, performance-optimized switching. The switch integrates with multiple management protocols such as SNMP, NETCONF, and RESTCONF, and features a secure boot infrastructure including Cisco Trust Anchor for compliance and threat protection.

Ideal for K-12 institutions, the unit is built for reliable long-term operation with optional power redundancy, hot-swappable power options, and robust operating tolerances. It is TAA compliant, covered by a limited lifetime warranty, and supported by Cisco’s ecosystem of technical service and upgrades, ensuring long-lasting value.
