Highlights
1. High-Density PoE+ Power Delivery
Features 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 RJ-45 copper access interfaces running full IEEE 802.3at PoE+ parameters (up to 30W per port). This high-capacity 48 port gigabit switch matrix safely distributes a total 370W power pool to effortlessly energize high-throughput Wi-Fi 6 wireless access points, HD IP surveillance networks, and corporate VoIP stations.
2. 10 Gigabit Line-Rate Uplinks
Equipped with 4 native 10 GbE SFP+ uplink slots, this flexible 10g uplink switch architecture guarantees non-blocking, wire-speed aggregation straight to your core server racks or central storage arrays, completely eliminating backhaul bottlenecks.
3. Layer 3 Static Routing & Network Intelligence
Unlike a standard unmanaged network tier, the cisco c1200-48p-4x provides Layer 2+ IPv4/IPv6 static routing capabilities out of the box. Securely route traffic between different VLANs right at the access edge to optimize local network segmentation, isolate sensitive domains, and enhance traffic prioritization.
4. Silent Fanless Architecture
Engineered with an advanced fanless thermal design and an efficient internal power supply, this silent powerhouse provides quiet operation, making it ideal for open office layouts, retail environments, or standard data closets where background noise must be eliminated.
5. Intuitive On-Device Smart Management
Simplify setup, monitoring, and lifecycle administration. Manage your 48 port managed switch configurations your way-whether via the intuitive on-device graphical Web UI, the Cisco Business Mobile App, or centralized network orchestration frameworks.
Recommended Accessories
