Cisco Catalyst C9300L-24T-4X-A – Enterprise-Grade Access Switching at a Fraction of the List Price
The Cisco Catalyst C9300L-24T-4X-A is a fixed-uplink Layer 3 stackable access switch designed for enterprise networks, campus deployments, and ISP infrastructure. It features 24 x 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ-45) data-only ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ fixed uplinks, delivering a switching capacity of 128 Gbps in standalone mode — scalable up to 448 Gbps with StackWise-320 stacking. Running on Cisco IOS XE with a Network Advantage license, it supports full enterprise routing, advanced security, and Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access), making it a future-ready platform for organizations modernizing their infrastructure.
Key Features & Benefits
