Cisco Catalyst 9300X C9300X-24Y-E Switch Overview
The Cisco Catalyst 9300X C9300X-24Y-E is a 24-port 25G/10G/1G SFP28 access and aggregation switch from the Catalyst 9300 Series, Cisco's lead stackable enterprise switching platform. Each port accepts 1G, 10G and 25G SFP28 optics, so it is built for high-bandwidth access uplinks, campus distribution and top-of-rack roles that a Gigabit-only switch cannot serve.
From a specification standpoint, it offers 24 ports for client, server or uplink connectivity; aggregate capacity of 2,000 Gbps (3,000 Gbps in a stack); packet forwarding up to 1488 Mpps (2232 Mpps with stacking). These are the original factory figures for this model, giving administrators a clear picture of what the unit can deliver before it enters service. Standard mounting, cabling and management practices apply, so deployment follows the same procedures as other Cisco hardware already running in the environment.
Typical deployments include access-layer deployments for user, phone and AP connectivity, distribution and core aggregation in campus networks, and top-of-rack and end-of-row switching in data centers. Organizations commonly source it for refresh programs, capacity expansion and spares management, keeping a tested unit on hand so outages stay short and replacements are predictable. The factory detail for this unit reads: “Catalyst 9300 24-port 25G/10G/1G SFP28 with modular uplinks, Network Essentials”. This makes it a practical choice when original-spec hardware is required at a predictable cost.

C9300X-24Y-E vs. C9300X-24Y-A: Which to Choose
The Catalyst 9300X ships in two regional variants: the C9300X-24Y-E (this page) and the C9300X-24Y-A. Both carry the same 24-port 25G/10G/1G SFP28 hardware, 2,000 Gbps switch capacity and Catalyst 9300 software stack. The -E and -A suffixes mainly reflect regional certification and localized configurations rather than a performance gap, so choose based on your region and deployment preference.
