Product overview
C9300-48P-E is a Catalyst 9300 48-port PoE+ access switch on the Network Essentials (-E) feature set. The listing shows 48 × 1G PoE+ copper ports, a C9300-NM-4G network module row, 256 Gbps standalone / 736 Gbps stacked capacity, StackWise-480, and a PWR-C1-1100WAC-P power supply.
Use it for high-density PoE closets that must stay on Catalyst 9300 stacking. Compare watt needs carefully against C9300-24P-E, and compare data-only needs against C9300-48T-E. Network Advantage (-A) twins are a different software PID — quote the exact -E or -A required.

Deployment scenarios
48-port PoE closets with APs and phones on Catalyst 9300.
Network Essentials (-E) procurements that must not be substituted with -A without review.
StackWise-480 refreshes that need a 48P member.
Campus / branch access closets where user density and PoE budget matter. Wiring closet / branch / campus access feeding APs, phones, or cameras within listed PoE budget. Density starts at the published 48-port faceplate.
Technical selection notes
Name the network module and PoE watt plan on the RFQ. Do not treat -E and -A as interchangeable. If endpoints need fewer ports, shortlist C9300-24P-E.
Not recommended for
Not a data-only switch — use C9300-48T-E when PoE is not required.
Not a 10G fiber aggregation switch.
Not a Catalyst 9500 core.
