Cisco Catalyst 9300X-24Y-A 24-Port 25G/10G/1G SFP28 Switch, Network Advantage
Brand: Cisco · SKU: C9300X-24Y-A · MPN: C9300X-24Y-A · Category: Networking
The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-24Y-A is a high-density, data-only fiber access switch optimized for campus and data-center edge environments demanding ultra-high throughput, advanced routing capabilities, and robust security. It provides 24 multi-rate SFP28 ports, each supporting 25 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 1 Gbps, enabling seamless migration from 10 Gigabit Ethernet to 25 Gigabit Ethernet as bandwidth needs evolve. This model features a single expansion module slot, allowing for additional functionality, and does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it ideal for environments without PoE requirements. It offers an impressive switching capacity of up to 2,000 Gbps, which increases to 3,000 Gbps when stacked. The switch can handle up to 1488 Mpps (million packets per second) forwarding rate, improving to approximately 2232 Mpps with stacking enabled. It has a MAC address table size of 32K entries, 16GB of DRAM, and 16GB of Flash storage. The C9300X-24Y-A supports modular uplinks with speeds
