Cisco's flagship enterprise switching family, built on IOS XE and Cisco UADP/Silicon One ASICs. It covers campus access, distribution and core, with integrated security, automation and optional cloud management. Below are the models by series with their datasheet specifications.
Entry-level access for branches and small/medium campuses, with the essential security and resiliency of the Catalyst 9000 family (UADP mini ASIC, IOS XE, StackWise-160).
Catalyst 9200L
Data access switch with fixed uplinks, ideal for desktop connectivity without PoE.
Catalyst 9200L
48-port access with PoE+ for IP phones, cameras and access points in dense deployments.
Catalyst 9200
Model with field-replaceable modular uplinks and redundant power supplies for higher availability.
Cisco's most widely deployed campus access: high-density StackWise stacking, flexible modular uplinks (up to 100G on the 9300X), application hosting and, on the 9300X, hardware IPsec at 100G.
Catalyst 9300
24-port data access with modular uplinks, a foundation for SD-Access architectures.
Catalyst 9300
48 ports with PoE+ for high device density at the campus edge.
Catalyst 9300
Multigigabit (mGig) ports with UPOE for high-performance Wi-Fi 6/6E over existing cabling.
Catalyst 9300X
Top of the access range: mGig with UPOE+, 100G uplinks and line-rate hardware IPsec encryption.
Catalyst 9300L
Cost-optimized Layer 3 access with fixed uplinks, for high-volume deployments.
Modular chassis for campus access and distribution, with redundant supervisors, up to 9 Tbps of system capacity and enterprise-grade high availability.
Catalyst 9400 · chassis
Compact 4-slot chassis (up to 2 line cards) with supervisor redundancy.
Catalyst 9400 · chassis
7-slot chassis for higher port density while keeping full redundancy.
Catalyst 9400 · chassis
10-slot chassis and the highest density in the series, for large campus buildings.
High-performance fixed switches for campus core and aggregation, with 25/40/100G ports (and 400G on the 9500X), deep buffers and UADP 3.0 / Cisco Silicon One ASICs.
Catalyst 9500
Core/aggregation with 24 × 25G ports and 100G uplinks for high-capacity campuses.
Catalyst 9500
Higher 25G density for campus aggregation and small data centers.
Catalyst 9500X
Next-generation core with Cisco Silicon One and 400G ports for the campus of the future.
Modular core chassis for the enterprise campus, with redundant supervisors, 25/40/100G line cards and non-stop high availability.
Catalyst 9600 · chassis
6-slot core chassis with dual redundant supervisors for maximum availability.
Catalyst 9600 · line card
High-density 25G line card for aggregation in the 9600 chassis.
Catalyst 9600 · line card
100G line card for uplinks and very high capacity core.
