Overview
The cisco c1200 48t 4x stands as the flagship non-PoE, high-density hardware platform within the Catalyst 1200 Series. Purpose-built for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), corporate branch offices, and secondary campus tiers, this enterprise-grade 48 port managed switch delivers premium Gigabit access layer speed coupled with high-capacity 10 Gigabit SFP+ backhauls, completely removing traffic bottlenecks without the licensing cost or overhead of complex core chassis.
Operating under the modern Cisco IOS XE software architecture with the Network Essentials feature set, the c1200-48t-4x integrates 48 wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet downlinks and 4 dedicated 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks. By focusing entirely on high-performance data-only routing alongside Layer 2+ static routing intelligence, this non-PoE 48 port network switch lowers overall facility power draw and thermal loads. Whether you are aggregating client workstations or linking dense processing racks, it functions as a highly dependable and completely silent 10g ethernet switch solution for your data closets.

Highlights
-
48-Port High-Density Data Access: Features 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 RJ-45 dedicated data downlinks. Eliminating PoE circuitry actively minimizes workspace power consumption, forming an ultra-reliable 48 port network switch fabric for wired endpoints and server links.
-
Native 10G SFP+ Uplink Bandwidth: Equipped with 4 integrated 10 GbE SFP+ uplink slots, this flexible 10g ethernet switch backplane delivers line-rate non-blocking aggregation straight to your core switches, maximizing infrastructure throughput.
-
Layer 2+ Static Routing Capabilities: Operates as a smart 48 port managed switch that supports full Layer 2 capabilities alongside IPv4/IPv6 static routing paths, allowing your team to route traffic between different VLANs straight at the edge.
-
Fanless Silent Operations: Engineered with an advanced fanless thermal design and an efficient internal power supply, ensuring completely silent operation making it ideal for open offices, classrooms, or quiet zones.
-
Streamlined Smart Management: Configure and monitor your deployment via the intuitive on-device graphical Web UI, the Cisco Business Mobile App, or the centralized Cisco Business Dashboard management platform.
