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+ switching, professionally tested and backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
This refurbished Cisco C9300-48P-A is a 48-port PoE+ stackable access switch from the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series, professionally tested and reset to factory defaults before shipment. Part of Cisco's flagship enterprise access switching platform, the C9300-48P-A ships with the Network Advantage software license on Cisco IOS XE, delivering a full suite of advanced routing, security, and automation capabilities right out of the box.The switch provides 48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ copper ports capable of powering wireless access points, IP phones, security cameras, and IoT endpoints without external injectors. Modular uplink slots support 1G, 10G, or 40G connectivity modules, and StackWise-480 technology allows up to eight switches to be stacked with up to 480 Gbps of aggregate stack bandwidth — delivering both scalability and resiliency for demanding campus deployments. The Network Advantage license unlocks enterprise routing protocols including OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, along with MACsec encryption, TrustSec, 802.1X, VRF-Lite, and full Cisco DNA Center integration for policy-based automation and zero-touch provisioning.
Purchasing refurbished Cisco hardware from WhaleyComm delivers the same enterprise performance as new at a fraction of the cost. With 25+ years of experience and 5,000+ enterprise customers served, WhaleyComm's ISO 9001-certified testing process ensures every unit performs to manufacturer specification. Every unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty — no time limits, no questions asked.

Ideal Use Cases
Enterprise Campus Access Layer
Deploy the C9300-48P-A as a high-density wired access switch for corporate campuses requiring full Gigabit PoE+ connectivity to endpoints such as IP phones, wireless access points, and video conferencing equipment.
High-Density Wireless Infrastructure
Power and connect 802.11ac or Wi-Fi 6 access points across large office floors or dense wireless environments without the need for separate PoE injectors or midspans.
Scalable Stacked Distribution
Use StackWise-480 to build a resilient stack of up to eight switches, scaling access port density and bandwidth while maintaining a single management plane — ideal for multi-floor or multi-building campus deployments.
Cisco DNA Center Managed Network
Integrate with Cisco DNA Center for centralized policy management, zero-touch provisioning, and real-time network telemetry across the enterprise access layer.
Secure Network Segmentation
Leverage TrustSec, MACsec encryption, VRF-Lite, and 802.1X authentication to enforce granular access policies and segment traffic for compliance-sensitive environments including healthcare, finance, and government.
