C9300LM-48T-4Y-E Catalyst 9300LM 48-Port Data, Essentials

The C9300LM-48T-4Y-E is the data-only 9300LM: 48 ports at 10/100/1000 Mbps with no PoE, plus four fixed SFP28 uplinks that Cisco's data sheet and install guide rate at 25G. It ships with Network Essentials, Cisco's base licence for Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, automation, visibility and security; the C9300LM-48T-4Y-A has the same hardware with Network Advantage.

Power and cooling: Cisco's install guide lists it with a 600 W AC power supply (PWR-C6-600WAC) and fixed fans. As with all 9300LM models, only PWR-C6 supplies are supported, not the PWR-C1 units used elsewhere in the 9300 range.

Switching capacity is 296 Gbps (616 Gbps stacked) and the forwarding rate 220.22 Mpps, the same as the PoE version.

Stacking: StackWise-320 at 320 Gbps, up to 8 switches, through the optional C9300L-STACK-KIT2. Cisco allows 9300LM and 9300L switches in one stack when they share a licence level, so pair this Essentials unit with Essentials members. Modular-uplink 9300 models cannot join, and there is no StackPower.

Cisco's ordering guide makes a Cisco DNA or Catalyst subscription term licence at the same tier mandatory on new orders. It lists this model as current, and no EoL bulletin applies.

Nearest sibling: the C9300L-48T-4G is also a 48-port data-only fixed-uplink switch, but with four 1G SFP uplinks and 104 Gbps of capacity.

Nearest sibling: C9300L-48T-4G-A.
