Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy a genuine Cisco Catalyst switch in Dubai?
FSI Information Technology is a certified Cisco supplier in Dubai, stocking genuine Cisco Catalyst switches with full warranty and fast delivery across the UAE.
Does the C9300X-12Y-A support PoE?
No, the C9300X-12Y-A is a data only switch with 12 fiber SFP28 ports, so it does not provide Power over Ethernet. It suits server, distribution, and aggregation connections rather than powering access points or phones directly.
Does the C9300X-12Y-A include an uplink module or transceivers?
No, the C9300X-12Y-A has a modular uplink slot but does not include an uplink module, and SFP28 transceivers are sold separately. Choose a module such as the C9300X-NM-8Y, C9300X-NM-2C, or C9300X-NM-4C depending on whether you need 25G or 100G uplinks.
What is the difference between the C9300X-12Y-A and C9300X-12Y-E?
Both models share the same 12-port SFP28 hardware and modular uplink slot, but the C9300X-12Y-A ships with Network Advantage licensing for advanced Layer 3 routing, segmentation, and SD-Access features, while the C9300X-12Y-E ships with Network Essentials licensing for standard switching needs.
