Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C9300X-12Y-E is a stackable enterprise Layer 3 switch designed for secure, high-performance campus and distribution deployments. It supports 12 ports of 1/10/25G SFP28 connectivity with modular uplinks and Cisco StackWise technology for resilient stacking and simplified management.
Built on the Catalyst 9300X platform, this switch is designed for modern enterprise networks that require security, cloud readiness, IoT support, mobility, and high-density wireless backhaul. It includes an x86 CPU architecture, expanded memory, and support for application hosting, allowing containers, third-party applications, and scripts to run natively on the switch.
The C9300X-12Y-E provides high switching capacity, advanced Layer 3 routing, flexible management options, and support for Cisco StackPower. It is well suited for organizations that need scalable 25 Gigabit Ethernet access or aggregation with enterprise-grade resiliency.
