Cisco Catalyst 9300L 24-port PoE+ 4G Network Essentials Switch (C9300L-24P-4G-E)

The Cisco Catalyst 9300L 24-port PoE+ 4G Network Essentials Switch (C9300L-24P-4G-E) is a stackable enterprise-class access switch designed as a modern replacement for the Catalyst 3850. It delivers 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports with four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, making it a cost-effective solution for branch offices that require high-density PoE+ connectivity without 10G uplinks. Built on the UADP 2.0 ASIC architecture and running Cisco IOS XE with the Network Essentials license, this switch provides reliable performance, advanced security, and simplified management through Cisco DNA Center.
