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.
Professionally tested. Factory reset. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
This refurbished Cisco C9300-48T-E is a 48-port, data-only Gigabit Ethernet switch from the Catalyst 9300 Series — Cisco's lead stackable enterprise access switching platform. Professionally tested and reset to factory defaults, this unit ships ready to deploy. The C9300-48T-E runs Cisco IOS XE with a Network Essentials software license and delivers Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching across 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. It includes one modular uplink slot for optional network modules (sold separately) and supports dual redundant power supplies, with this listing including two AC PSUs.Built on Cisco's UADP ASIC, the C9300-48T-E delivers a switching capacity of 256 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 190.48 Mpps at wire-speed nonblocking performance for both IPv4 and IPv6. StackWise-480 technology enables up to 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, allowing up to eight switches to operate as a single logical unit. The platform supports up to 32,000 MAC addresses, 32,000 IPv4 routing entries, and a 16 MB packet buffer, making it well-suited for high-density access layer deployments.
At $1,950, this refurbished C9300-48T-E delivers enterprise-grade Cisco Catalyst 9300 performance at a significant discount versus new list pricing. WhaleyComm has served 5,000+ enterprise clients across 25+ years with ISO 9001, R2v3, and e-Stewards certified processes — every unit is professionally tested before it ships, and every unit is backed by our Lifetime Warranty.

Ideal Use Cases
Enterprise Campus Access Layer
The C9300-48T-E is purpose-built for enterprise campus access layer deployments, providing 48 high-density Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired workstations, IP phones, and endpoint devices in office environments that do not require PoE.
Stackable Branch Switching
With Cisco StackWise-480 providing up to 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, up to eight C9300-48T-E units can be stacked and managed as a single logical switch — ideal for branch offices needing scalable, resilient infrastructure.
High-Density Wired Workstation Environments
At 48 data-only Gigabit Ethernet ports per unit, this switch is optimal for dense workstation rows in trading floors, contact centers, or open-plan offices where all endpoints are powered independently.
SD-Access and Intent-Based Networking Deployments
Running Cisco IOS XE with Network Essentials, the C9300-48T-E is SD-Access ready and integrates with Cisco DNA Center for intent-based networking, automation, and end-to-end network visibility.
Budget-Conscious Enterprise Refresh
Organizations refreshing aging access layer infrastructure can deploy refurbished C9300-48T-E units to gain current-generation Cisco Catalyst 9300 performance and software support at a fraction of new hardware cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
No. The "T" designation in C9300-48T-E indicates data-only ports — this switch does not provide PoE or PoE+ on any access port. If PoE is required, consider the C9300-48P-E or C9300-48U-E models instead.
Yes. The C9300-48T-E includes one modular uplink slot that supports Cisco C9300 Series network modules such as the C9300-NM-4G, C9300-NM-8X, C9300-NM-2Q, and C9300-NM-2Y, among others. Network modules are not included and must be purchased separately.
Yes. The C9300-48T-E supports Cisco StackWise-480 and can be stacked with other C9300 modular uplink (non-L) SKUs, including C9300X models at StackWise-480 speeds. It cannot be stacked with C9300L fixed uplink models, which use a different stacking architecture.
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.
