Power and Connectivity:
With 24 multi-gigabit Ethernet ports (supporting 1G/2.5G/5G/10G speeds), this switch is ready for high-speed wireless access points and IP phones today and tomorrow. The "U" designation signifies Universal Power over Ethernet (UPoE/UPoE+), capable of delivering up to 90W per port. This means you can power everything from phones and cameras to advanced collaboration systems and even building management devices, all from a single, streamlined infrastructure.
Architectural Superiority:
Think of StackWise-Virtual as a "supervisor of supervisors." It allows you to logically combine two physical C9300 switches into a single, managed entity. This creates a highly resilient system with simplified management, an active/active control plane, and non-stop forwarding—dramatically increasing availability and simplifying operations as you scale.
Empowering Modern Networks:
The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series is designed for the next generation of wired connectivity. With advanced stackable architecture, the C9300-24U-A enables seamless expansion as your network grows.
