The Cisco Catalyst C9200-48P-E is an enterprise-grade 48-port Gigabit Ethernet access switch built to support modern campus and branch networks. Designed as part of the Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series, it delivers full PoE+ across all 48 ports with a default 740W power budget, making it ideal for powering IP phones, Wi-Fi 6 access points, security cameras, and IoT devices.
Powered by Cisco IOS XE and the Network Essentials license, the C9200-48P-E provides foundational Layer 3 routing capabilities, advanced security, and simplified network automation. Its modular uplink architecture supports 1G, 10G, 25G, and 40G network modules, allowing organizations to scale bandwidth without replacing hardware.
With StackWise-160 technology, up to eight switches can be stacked into a single logical unit, delivering high availability, simplified management, and investment protection. Built-in security features such as AES-128 MACsec encryption, secure boot, and Trustworthy Systems help protect the access layer against evolving threats. Fully compatible with Cisco DNA Center, the C9200-48P-E enables automated provisioning, monitoring, and policy-based segmentation - making it a reliable, future-ready access switch for enterprise networks.

FAQs:
Q1. Does this switch include the uplink module?
No. The uplink network modules (NM) are modular and must be purchased separately. Common options include the C9200-NM-4G (4x1G) or C9200-NM-4X (4x10G).
Q2. Can I increase the 740W PoE budget?
Yes. By adding a second 1000W AC power supply (PWR-C5-1KWAC), you can increase the total PoE power budget to 1440W, ensuring you can provide full PoE+ power to all 48 ports simultaneously.
Q3. What is the difference between this and the C9200L-48P-4G-E?
The C9200 (this model) has modular uplinks and a higher stacking bandwidth of 160 Gbps. The C9200L model has fixed (built-in) uplinks and a stacking bandwidth of 80 Gbps.
Q4. Does "Network Essentials" support OSPF and BGP?
Network Essentials supports foundational Layer 3 routing including Static routing, RIP, OSPF (up to 1000 routes), and EIGRP-Stub. For full BGP, IS-IS, or advanced VRF-lite, a Network Advantage license is required.
Q5. Are stacking cables included in the box?
No. To enable stacking, you must purchase the C9200-STACK-KIT and the appropriate length StackWise cables (0.5m, 1m, or 3m).
