Deliver more from the access layer without overbuilding the network. The Cisco Catalyst 9300 24-port mGig and UPOE model is designed for environments where endpoint demand is rising: higher-bandwidth wireless, power-hungry devices, and access networks that need room to grow. Multigigabit support helps match the speed of modern clients and Wi-Fi infrastructure, while UPOE provides the power envelope required by advanced endpoints. This is the kind of switch that earns its place in a serious enterprise refresh. Instead of filling closets with lower-capacity hardware that will age out quickly, the Catalyst 9300 platform gives IT teams a stronger foundation for campus and branch access. It is a fit for organizations standardizing on Cisco switching and looking for a model that can handle denser device populations with fewer compromises. For procurement teams, the value is in reducing near-term replacement cycles. For network architects, it is in having a platform that can support higher-speed access and power delivery at the edge. For operations teams, it means a switch family built for the realities of enterprise deployment: mixed endpoint types, growing bandwidth demand, and the need to keep infrastructure aligned with business growth.
