Cisco Catalyst C9200L-48T-4G-E | 48-Port Gigabit Data Switch
Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-48T-4G-E is a fixed-configuration Layer 3 access switch designed for high-density, data-only environments such as SMB offices, branch networks, education labs, call centers, and enterprise wiring closets.
It delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet data ports and 41G SFP uplinks, providing reliable connectivity for desktops, servers, printers, and wired endpoints, while eliminating PoE overhead to reduce power consumption, heat generation, and operating costs.
Built on the UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC, the switch offers 104 Gbps switching capacity and 77.38 Mpps forwarding rate, ensuring stable performance for business-critical applications and internal traffic flows.
Running Cisco IOS XE with Network Essentials, it supports:
-
OSPF (up to 1000 routes)
-
EIGRP Stub routing
-
RIP and static routing
This makes it ideal for standard branch routing and SMB deployments.
With StackWise-80, up to 8 switches can operate as one logical unit with 80 Gbps stacking bandwidth and sub-50 ms failover, improving scalability and availability.
