Overview

The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-48T-4X is a fixed-configuration Layer 3 enterprise access switch within the Cisco Catalyst 9000 family, purpose-built for high-density wired environments where PoE is not required.

It is widely deployed in enterprise office networks, financial trading floors, call centers, R&D labs, and education campuses, where stable Gigabit access, low latency, and high uplink bandwidth are critical.

Powered by the UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC, the switch delivers optimized forwarding performance with a programmable architecture that supports future protocol enhancements via Cisco IOS XE. With model-driven programmability and streaming telemetry, it enables modern network automation and real-time visibility.

The StackWise-80 architecture allows up to 8 switches to operate as a single logical unit, providing 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth and sub-second failover, making it ideal for scalable campus edge deployments and distributed enterprise networks.

Highlights

• 48× 10/100/1000 RJ-45 data ports (non-PoE)

• 4×10G SFP+ uplinks (1G/10G dual-rate support)

• StackWise-80 (up to 8 switches, 80 Gbps bandwidth)

• UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC (programmable forwarding architecture)

• Cisco IOS XE with telemetry and API support

• AES-128 MACsec encryption

• Plug-and-Play (PnP) for zero-touch deployment

• ENERGY STAR® certified with IEEE 802.3az (EEE)

Recommended Accessories
