Switch administrable Cisco C9200L-48PL-4G-E

The Cisco C9200L-48PL-4G-E is a managed Gigabit Ethernet switch from the Catalyst 9200 Series designed for enterprise access and branch-office deployments. It offers 48 Gigabit RJ‑45 ports with full PoE+ capability, a switching capacity of 104 Gbit/s, and a MAC address table supporting 16,000 entries. The switch supports rack mounting, modular uplinks, stacking up to 160 Gbps, Layer 3 features, and is built on the Cisco IOS XE platform with UADP programmability and open APIs for integration with Cisco DNA Center or cloud monitoring.

Advantages

The switch combines secure hardware and software integrity with resiliency features such as power and fan redundancy and cold patching, helping maintain continuous operation. Its PoE+ support enables centralized power delivery for devices like IP phones and cameras. Built-in programmability and open APIs allow automation and integration into intent-based networking environments, while the Catalyst 9200 family architecture provides investment protection for future innovations.

Suitable for

• Enterprise access layer in campus networks
• Branch-office networks requiring PoE for IP phones, wireless APs, and cameras
• Racked deployments in data closets or wiring rooms
• Environments needing integration with Cisco DNA Center or cloud monitoring
