Build an access layer that keeps pace with higher-speed wireless and endpoint power requirements. The Cisco Catalyst 9300 C9300-24UX-E is built around 24 multigigabit UPOE ports, making it a strong fit for environments where standard Gigabit access is no longer enough. This model is aimed at enterprise networks that need both bandwidth and power at the edge. Multigigabit connectivity helps support modern wireless access points and other devices that benefit from faster-than-Gigabit links, while UPOE extends power delivery to more demanding endpoints without separate power adapters or injectors. As part of the Catalyst 9300 family, it aligns with Cisco enterprise switching workflows and the operational expectations of large campus and branch environments. For teams standardizing on Cisco, the value is not just port count — it is the ability to support current access requirements while preserving room for endpoint growth and higher-power deployments.
