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-class PoE+ density, 10G uplinks, and IOS XE intelligence — professionally tested and ready to deploy.
This refurbished Cisco C9300L-48P-4X-E is a 1RU fixed-uplink enterprise access switch from the Catalyst 9300L series, professionally tested and reset to factory defaults before shipment. The unit delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ downlink ports paired with four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, running Cisco IOS XE with the Network Essentials license. It is part of Cisco's flagship stackable enterprise access platform and is built on the UADP 2.0 ASIC for programmable, wire-speed forwarding across both IPv4 and IPv6.The C9300L-48P-4X-E provides a switching capacity of 176 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 130.95 Mpps, scaling to 496 Gbps and 369.05 Mpps in a full eight-switch StackWise-320 stack. The 505W default PoE budget powers IP phones, cameras, and Wi-Fi 6 access points simultaneously, while Perpetual PoE and Fast PoE features ensure powered devices remain online through switch reloads. The platform ships with 8 GB DRAM and 16 GB flash, supports up to 32,000 MAC addresses, and includes three field-replaceable fans with N+1 redundancy for maximum uptime.
WhaleyComm refurbished units deliver the same Cisco hardware performance at a significant cost reduction versus new MSRP — without sacrificing reliability. Every unit is backed by our Lifetime Warranty and our ISO 9001-certified testing process, the same standard trusted by 5,000+ enterprise customers over 25+ years.

Ideal Use Cases
High-Density Campus Access Layer
With 48 PoE+ ports and four 10G uplinks, this switch is purpose-built for wiring closets serving large populations of IP phones, Wi-Fi 6 access points, and workstations from a single 1RU chassis.
Branch Office Consolidation
The fixed-uplink design, compact footprint, and IOS XE programmability make the C9300L-48P-4X-E ideal for branch deployments requiring enterprise security and routing without modular complexity.
IP Surveillance and IoT Endpoint Deployment
The 505W PoE+ budget with Perpetual PoE ensures cameras, badge readers, and IoT sensors remain powered through switch reloads, eliminating disruptions to physical security systems.
StackWise-320 Aggregation Expansion
Organizations already running a C9300L stack can add this unit to scale to up to eight switches and 320 Gbps of stacking bandwidth under a single management IP, expanding port density without a forklift upgrade.
Cisco SD-Access Fabric Edge
Running Cisco IOS XE with Network Essentials, this switch integrates into SD-Access environments and supports encrypted traffic analytics (ETA), enabling policy-based segmentation at the access layer.
Wi-Fi 6 Access Point Aggregation
Four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks provide 40 Gbps of total uplink capacity, preventing bottlenecks when aggregating traffic from multiple high-throughput 802.11ax access points into the distribution layer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
No. The C9300L-48P-4X-E includes two rear-panel StackWise-320 connectors, but stacking requires the separately ordered C9300L-STACK-KIT, which includes two stack adapters and a 0.5m stacking cable. Optional 1m and 3m cable lengths are also available. Up to eight C9300L switches can be stacked for a combined 320 Gbps of stacking bandwidth.
The two models share identical hardware — 48 PoE+ ports, four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, and the same performance specs. The difference is the software license: the -E suffix indicates Network Essentials, which includes OSPF, EIGRP Stub, and encrypted traffic analytics, while the -A suffix indicates Network Advantage, which adds full BGP, MPLS, VRF, and SD-Access fabric capabilities.
No. Cisco's fixed-uplink C9300L models can only be stacked with other C9300L SKUs. Stacking the C9300L with modular-uplink C9300 or C9300X models, or with legacy Catalyst 3850 and 3650 switches, is not supported by Cisco.
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.
