Cisco Catalyst C1200-24FP-4X Full PoE 10G Switch

Overview

The cisco c1200 24fp 4x is the top-tier, full-power Layer 2+ smart-managed Gigabit switch in the Catalyst 1200 Series. It is purpose-built for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), corporate branch offices, and campus edges that demand non-blocking 10G uplink performance and high-capacity inline power infrastructure.

As the most powerful 24-port variant in this portfolio, the cisco catalyst 1200 48p 4x sister line architecture is matched here by the modular intelligence of the c1200-24fp-4x. This high-performance 24 port poe switch integrates 24 full Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) Gigabit downlinks with a robust 370W total PoE budget and 4 dedicated 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks. It acts as an ideal 10g uplink switch engine for high-density wireless access points, IP camera surveillance matrices, and real-time VoIP networks requiring flawless backbone aggregation inside a silent, fanless 1U rackmount chassis.

• Native 10 Gigabit Uplink SFP+ Bandwidth: Equipped with 4 integrated 10 GbE SFP+ uplink slots, this flexible 10g uplink switch architecture guarantees non-blocking, wire-speed aggregation straight to your core server racks or data center aggregates, completely eliminating upstream bottlenecks.

• Fiber Backbone Aggregation Ready: While providing dense copper access ports, its 4 high-speed 10G SFP+ line slots allow the switch to tie directly into high-capacity multi-mode or single-mode fiber networks, eliminating the need for a separate, standalone 24 port fiber switch to handle mid-market aggregation nodes.

• Layer 2+ Static Routing Intelligence: Natively handles Inter-VLAN routing directly at the access edge. Securely route traffic between different subnets and optimize local network segmentation without paying a premium for complex enterprise license renewals.

• Silent Fanless operation: Engineered with an advanced fanless thermal design and an efficient internal power supply, the cisco c1200 24fp 4x ensures completely quiet performance-ideal for open office workspaces, school classrooms, or retail spaces.

• Intuitive Setup and Smart Management Operations: Configure, manage, and monitor your entire network layout via the intuitive on-device graphical Web UI, the Cisco Business Mobile App, or the centralized Cisco Business Dashboard life cycle management platform.
