Cisco-Catalyst C9200L-48P-4X-E
The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-48P-4X-E is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ managed switch designed for enterprise access-layer, campus, and branch networks. It features 48 × 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports, 4 × 1/10Gb SFP+ fixed uplinks, and the Cisco Network Essentials software package.
Description
The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-48P-4X-E is an enterprise-class fixed-uplink switch in the Cisco Catalyst 9200L Series. It provides high-density Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with PoE+, allowing connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other compatible endpoints to receive both network connectivity and electrical power through the Ethernet cable.
The switch provides 48 full-PoE+ 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports together with four fixed 1/10Gb SFP+ uplinks. The 10Gb uplinks provide high-bandwidth connections to aggregation, distribution, or core network infrastructure.
The C9200L platform supports StackWise-80, allowing compatible switches to operate as a stack for simplified management and increased network scalability. The C9200L-48P-4X provides 176 Gbps switching capacity and a 130.95 Mpps forwarding rate, increasing to 256 Gbps and 190 Mpps respectively when stacking is used.
The “-P” designation indicates the full PoE+ configuration, while “-4X” identifies the four fixed 1/10Gb uplinks. The “-E” suffix identifies the Network Essentials software package. Cisco specifies a 1,000W PWR-C5-1KWAC fixed power supply for this model.
