C9300-24H-M Full Official English Specification Description
1. SKU Brief Definition
Catalyst 9300 24-port 10/100/1000BASE-T UPOE+ (IEEE802.3bt Type4 up to 90W per port), modular uplink slot, Meraki Cloud-Managed stackable enterprise access switch; suffix -M = Meraki cloud managed platform with subscription-based Meraki licensing instead of traditional Cisco permanent Network Essentials/Advantage license
2. Product Overview
Cisco Catalyst C9300-24H-M belongs to Meraki-managed Catalyst 9300-M product portfolio, built on UADP 2.0 ASIC and customized Meraki-tuned IOS XE firmware, 1U rack-mount stackable access switch optimized for high-power enterprise endpoints including Wi-Fi 6/6E APs, PTZ IP cameras, industrial IoT devices and digital signage requiring maximum 90W per copper port.
Suffix breakdown: -H = UPOE+ high-power 90W IEEE802.3bt Type4 PoE; -M = Meraki cloud-native managed model, centrally configured & monitored exclusively via Meraki Dashboard (primary management), limited local console access only for emergency troubleshooting, no Cisco DNA Center permanent Network license preloaded on hardware.
