The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches are the industry’s leading stackable enterprise platform, designed for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud environments. As the next generation of Cisco's most widely deployed switching platform, the Catalyst 9300 Series serves as the core building block for Software-Defined Access (SD-Access), Cisco's flagship enterprise architecture. With a stacking bandwidth of up to 480 Gbps, they offer the highest density and most flexible uplink architecture in the industry. These switches are also the first to optimize support for high-density Wi-Fi 6 and 802.11ac Wave2, pushing the boundaries of network scalability. Future-ready, the Catalyst 9300 Series features an x86 CPU architecture and increased memory, enabling the hosting of containers and running third-party applications natively within the switch. Designed with Cisco StackWise technology, these switches ensure resilient and flexible deployment, supporting nonstop forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO) for seamless operation in stackable configurations. The Catalyst 9300 Series boasts an efficient power architecture with Cisco StackPower, offering high-density Cisco UPOE and PoE+ ports. Built on the Cisco UADP 2.0 architecture, these switches provide scalability, higher throughput, and investment protection. With Cisco IOS XE and advanced programmability, they offer robust security and IoT convergence capabilities.
