Cisco Catalyst 9300 24-Port PoE+ Network Essentials – Enterprise Layer 3 PoE+ Switch
Cisco Catalyst 9300 24-Port PoE+ Network Essentials Switch is engineered for modern enterprise networks that require reliable performance, strong security, and simplified management. As part of the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series, this switch supports Layer 3 switching and advanced Power over Ethernet (PoE+), making it ideal for access layer deployment in campus and business environments.
With 24 PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet ports, the switch delivers both power and data to PoE devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, security cameras, and IoT endpoints—reducing cabling complexity and improving deployment efficiency. This makes it a strong choice for organizations that need reliable power delivery and network performance.
The Network Essentials feature set provides core switching capabilities including Layer 3 routing, VLAN segmentation, essential Quality of Service (QoS), and basic security protections. Four uplink ports (commonly 1G or 10G depending on model) support high-speed connections to core networks or aggregation switches, improving overall traffic flow and scalability.
Catalyst 9300 switches are built on a stackable, Cisco DNA-ready platform that supports automation, security, and analytics. They help networks scale efficiently while maintaining performance and resilience. Advanced security tools such as access control lists (ACLs), encrypted traffic analytics (optional), and segmentation improve protection against threats.
