High-Density 25GbE Fibre Connectivity

The C9300X-24Y provides 24 SFP28 fibre ports capable of operating at 1Gbps, 10Gbps or 25Gbps with appropriate supported transceivers and cabling. This multi-rate design provides flexibility when migrating existing fibre infrastructure to higher network speeds while supporting demanding enterprise applications and high-bandwidth network connections.

Flexible Modular Uplinks

A modular uplink architecture allows the switch to be configured for different network requirements using compatible Cisco Catalyst 9300X network modules. Depending on the selected module, the platform can support high-speed uplink configurations including 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE connectivity.

The uplink network module is optional and is not included in the default switch configuration unless specifically supplied as part of the configured bundle.

StackWise-1T Stacking

Cisco StackWise-1T technology provides up to 1Tbps of local stackable switching bandwidth on Catalyst 9300X models. Compatible switches can be combined into a stack to simplify management and provide a scalable switching architecture for growing enterprise networks.

Enterprise Network Platform

The Catalyst 9300X platform combines high-speed fibre connectivity with enterprise switching capabilities, substantial memory and advanced hardware forwarding. The C9300X-24Y uses a dual-ASIC architecture and provides a 32MB packet buffer, helping the switch accommodate demanding high-bandwidth network environments.

Network Essentials

The C9300X-24Y-E is supplied as the Network Essentials variant of the Catalyst 9300X-24Y platform. Available networking capabilities depend on the installed Cisco software release, licensing and network configuration, so features requiring Network Advantage or additional licences should not be assumed to be included with this SKU.

Power and Serviceability

The C9300X-24Y uses a 715W AC default power supply and supports field-replaceable power supply and fan modules. The platform can support redundant power configurations when appropriately equipped, helping organisations design network infrastructure around their required availability and serviceability requirements.

Compatibility

• Compatible Cisco SFP/SFP+/SFP28 transceivers and supported fibre connectivity
• Compatible Catalyst 9300X modular uplink network modules
• Cisco StackWise-1T supported Catalyst 9300X configurations

Transceivers, fibre cables and the modular uplink network module are configuration-dependent and should not be assumed to be included with the base switch unless specifically stated in the supplied bundle.
