Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Enterprise-grade PoE+ density, wire-speed performance, and StackWise-480 scalability — professionally tested and backed by WhaleyComm's Lifetime Warranty.
This refurbished Cisco C9300-48P-E is a Catalyst 9300 Series 48-port PoE+ access layer switch running Cisco IOS XE with a perpetual Network Essentials license. Every unit has been professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and inspected through WhaleyComm's ISO 9001-certified process before shipment. The C9300-48P-E ships with a 715W Platinum-rated power supply and supports a second power supply slot for redundancy, making it a proven choice for enterprise campus and branch deployments.The C9300-48P-E is built on Cisco's UADP 2.0 ASIC, delivering 256 Gbps of non-blocking switching capacity and a forwarding rate of 190.48 Mpps — wire-speed performance for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. All 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3at PoE+, delivering up to 30W per port to power IP phones, Wi-Fi 6 access points, IP cameras, and IoT devices. The switch includes one modular uplink slot compatible with optional Cisco C9300 Series network modules — including 4x1G, 8x10G, 2x40G, and 2x25G configurations — ordered separately. StackWise-480 technology enables up to eight switches to be stacked into a single logical unit with 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth and a single management plane.
Purchasing refurbished Cisco hardware through WhaleyComm delivers the same performance and IOS XE feature set as a new unit at a fraction of the list price. WhaleyComm is R2v3, e-Stewards, and UNEDA certified, with 25+ years of experience and 5,000+ enterprise customers trusting our process. Every unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty — no time limits, no questions asked.

Ideal Use Cases
High-Density Campus Access Layer
With 48 full PoE+ ports and 256 Gbps of switching capacity, the C9300-48P-E is purpose-built to serve as the primary access switch in enterprise campus environments connecting IP phones, wireless access points, and endpoint devices at wire speed.
Wi-Fi 6 Access Point Deployment
Each port delivers up to 30W of PoE+ power, making this switch ideal for powering high-density Wi-Fi 6 access point deployments in office floors, warehouses, and education facilities without requiring separate power runs.
Scalable Branch Network Infrastructure
StackWise-480 allows up to eight C9300-48P-E units to operate as a single logical switch with one management plane, enabling branch network teams to scale access port capacity from 48 to 384 ports with unified control.
IoT and IP Surveillance Networks
The combination of high PoE+ port density, MACsec encryption support, and 802.1X authentication makes the C9300-48P-E well suited for converged IoT and IP camera deployments requiring both power delivery and network segmentation.
Cisco SD-Access Fabric Edge
The C9300-48P-E is a validated building block for Cisco Software-Defined Access architectures, enabling automated policy enforcement, segmentation, and telemetry across campus fabric deployments managed via Cisco Catalyst Center.
Refurbished Infrastructure Refresh or Capacity Expansion
Organizations refreshing end-of-life access layer switches or expanding an existing Catalyst 9300 stack can deploy this professionally tested refurbished unit to extend capacity while maintaining full Cisco IOS XE feature parity at significant cost savings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
Yes. All 48 downlink ports support IEEE 802.3at PoE+, delivering up to 30W per port. The default 715W power supply provides a total PoE budget that can be expanded by adding a secondary power supply in the second available slot.
No. The modular uplink slot is included in the chassis but the network module must be ordered separately. Compatible options include the C9300-NM-4G (4x1G SFP), C9300-NM-8X (8x10G SFP+), C9300-NM-2Q (2x40G QSFP), and C9300-NM-2Y (2x25G SFP28), among others.
The hardware is identical — the only difference is the included perpetual software license. The -E suffix denotes Network Essentials, which covers Layer 2 switching and foundational Layer 3 features including static routing, RIP, OSPF (up to 1,000 routes), and EIGRP Stub. The -A suffix denotes Network Advantage, which adds full OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, VRF-lite, VXLAN, and advanced high-availability features. Both licenses are perpetual and included with the hardware.
Yes. Every WhaleyComm unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty. If it fails under normal operating conditions at any point, we replace it at no cost — no time limits, no questions asked.
Every unit goes through our ISO 9001-certified testing process: full power-on diagnostics, port-by-port functionality testing, firmware verification, factory reset, and final inspection. A Certificate of Testing ships with every unit.
