Connect 48 Devices at Gigabit Speed with 10G Uplink Headroom
Forty-eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink slots, and Layer 3 static routing come together in the Cisco Catalyst 1200 C1200-48T-4X, a smart managed switch built for small and medium businesses. It hands every connected PC, phone, and wireless access point a full Gigabit link, then carries the aggregated traffic upstream over 10G fiber to a core switch or another floor. You manage the whole thing from the Cisco Business mobile app or dashboard, without a console cable or a command line to learn. Browse the full Cisco lineup or more managed switches.
Ideal Deployments
The C1200-48T-4X sits at the access layer of an office, retail site, or small campus. Its 48 data ports feed desktops, IP phones, printers, and access points, while the four SFP+ slots uplink to a distribution or core switch over 10 Gigabit fiber. Because this is the non-PoE (T) model, it fits installs where powered devices draw from separate PoE injectors or midspans, or where the attached gear brings its own power. Layer 3 static routing lets the switch move traffic between VLANs and subnets on its own, so a growing network can segment departments without adding a router at every hop.
Key Capabilities
- 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports: 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 connections for wired devices across the office.
- Four 10G SFP+ uplinks: fiber or copper 10 Gigabit slots for high-speed links to the core or between switches.
- Layer 3 static routing forwards traffic between VLANs and subnets without a separate router.
- Cisco Business management: set up VLANs, QoS, and security from the mobile app, local web interface, or cloud dashboard.
- A customized Linux operating system and a 1U rackmount chassis with a built-in power supply keep the switch drawing about 51 watts.
