Keep high-density edge networks stable as endpoint demands rise. The Cisco C9300X-48HX-M combines 48 multigigabit UPOE+ ports with a 1,100 W AC power supply and Meraki management, giving infrastructure teams the port density and power headroom needed for Wi-Fi, voice, video, and other power-hungry devices. This model is designed for access environments that need more than basic switching. Multigigabit connectivity helps match port speed to newer wireless and collaboration hardware, while UPOE+ support extends power delivery to devices that would otherwise require separate adapters or injectors. That reduces clutter, simplifies deployment, and helps standardize the edge. Meraki management adds cloud-based operational visibility for teams that want centralized policy control and simpler day-2 administration. For organizations that value consistency across distributed sites, this switch fits into a managed campus strategy without sacrificing the hardware capability expected from the Catalyst 9300X family. Choose this model when port density, power budget, and operational control all need to land in the same chassis. It is built for environments where downtime is expensive and access-layer decisions have to hold up under real production load.
