What does the “PL” in the model name mean?

“PL” stands for Partial PoE. All 48 ports are PoE+ capable, but the switch provides a shared power budget of 370W. Power is dynamically allocated across the ports as needed—ideal for environments where only some connected devices require power.

What uplinks are available on this model?

The switch includes 4 fixed 1G SFP uplinks for fiber or copper connectivity.

Can this switch be stacked with other models?

Yes. It supports StackWise-80 and can stack with other compatible C9200L models, up to 8 switches.

What power supply is included?

This model ships with a 600W AC power supply (PWR-C5-600WAC), delivering up to a 370W PoE budget.
