Cisco Catalyst C9300-24UXB-A Switch

Looking for a reliable and future-proof switch that can meet the growing demands of your network? The Cisco Catalyst C9300-24UXB-A is the ideal solution. It's a versatile, stackable enterprise-class switching platform, designed to support a hybrid work environment where security and performance are a top priority.

Key Features You Need to Know

• Multi-speed ports: The 9300-24UX-A model has Cisco UPoE-enabled ports that support multiple speeds (Multi-Gigabit Ethernet), such as 10 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, and 100 Mbps. This is a key difference compared to the standard 9300-U model, which supports speeds up to 1 Gbps. This functionality is ideal for powering and connecting modern, demanding devices like Wi-Fi 6 access points that require higher bandwidth.

• Multi-layer Performance: This switch is more than just a Layer 2 device. Its basic Layer 3 capabilities (including static and limited dynamic routing) enable effective network segmentation and traffic optimization. With full support for 802.1Q, you can easily create virtual LANs (VLANs), increasing flexibility and security.

• Uncompromising Security: Network protection is a priority. The technologies used in the C9300-24UX-A, such as Cisco TrustSec (identity-based segmentation) and Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) (threat detection in encrypted traffic without decryption), provide a high level of protection against cyberattacks. Additionally, MACsec (802.1AE) support protects data confidentiality.

• Intelligent UPoE Power: The 24UX-A model has Cisco UPoE enabled ports, which doubles the standard PoE+ power to 60W per port. This allows you to power a wide range of devices, including virtual desktop terminals, IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points, VoIP phones, and LED lighting, directly from the network port. This eliminates the need for additional power cabling, simplifying deployment and reducing costs.

• Flexibility and Scalability: The switch can be stacked (using StackWise technology), which allows you to manage multiple devices as one and increases throughput. There is also an option to add an uplink module, which allows for flexible adjustment of bandwidth to meet growing network needs.

• Intuitive Management and Automation: With programmability, the switch facilitates the automation of administrative tasks and faster response to network changes, ensuring easy management at scale.

• Enhanced Packet Buffer: Switch models with the letter "B" have a significantly larger packet buffer, which optimizes them for handling multimedia and video traffic. Thanks to the increased memory, the switch can better manage sudden spikes in network traffic, minimizing the risk of packet loss, delays, and interruptions when transmitting latency-sensitive data like video and audio.
