Cisco C9300-24U-E 24-Port 1G UPOE Switch with Network Essentials

C9300-24U-E 1G UPOE Essentials Order Line

C9300-24U-E combines twenty-four 10/100/1000 UPOE copper ports with modular uplinks and Network Essentials. It is neither a multigigabit 24UX model nor the higher-scale deep-buffer 24UB model. The final E records the license tier and must remain part of the quoted PID.

Powered 1G access design

Use this model when 1G access is sufficient but endpoints require Cisco UPOE power. Record device power class, peak draw, cable path and startup sequence for each powered port. If endpoint data rates above 1G are required, the hardware selection must change; a license update cannot convert 24U ports into multigigabit interfaces.

Power survivability calculation

Cisco model tables list an 830 W PoE budget and an 1100 W AC supply for the C9300-24U family. Reconcile the figure with the installed supply and StackPower topology, then test which critical endpoints remain active after one planned power-component failure.

Essentials license gate

List required switching, routing, segmentation, policy and management outcomes and validate them against Cisco's current Network Essentials matrix for the selected IOS XE release and software subscription. If a requirement needs Network Advantage, compare C9300-24U-A rather than altering the product identity after purchase.

Complete order and handover

Select a compatible modular uplink network module and media based on upstream speed and distance. Preserve module PID, Smart Account, subscription term, software image, StackWise-480/StackPower diagram, configuration backup and power-test results in the asset record.
