Cisco C1200-48P-4X 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch, 4x 10G SFP+ Uplinks

Specifications should be verified against the latest manufacturer documentation before final purchase or deployment.

The Cisco C1200-48P-4X is a 48-port managed PoE+ switch in the Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series, designed for small and medium-sized business networks, enterprise access networks, IP surveillance, wireless deployments, VoIP, and other Ethernet-powered devices.

The switch provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports for connecting access points, IP phones, surveillance cameras, computers, and other network devices. It also includes four 10G SFP+ uplink ports, providing higher-speed connections to aggregation switches, servers, storage systems, or network backbones. Cisco lists the C1200-48P-4X with a 375W PoE power budget, making it suitable for deployments with multiple powered devices.

With 176 Gbps switching capacity and a 130.94 Mpps forwarding rate, the C1200-48P-4X provides wire-speed switching for Gigabit access traffic while offering 10G uplink connectivity for bandwidth-intensive network aggregation.

The model also features 1 GB DDR4 DRAM, 512 MB flash memory, a 3 MB packet buffer, RJ-45 console access and USB Type-C connectivity.

The C1200-48P-4X provides 48 × 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with PoE+ support. This allows network administrators to deliver both data and electrical power over Ethernet to compatible devices without requiring separate power connections.

Typical applications include:

• Wi-Fi access points
• IP security cameras
• VoIP phones
• Network terminals
• IoT devices
• Small business endpoints
• Wireless networking equipment

Four 10G SFP+ uplink ports provide high-speed connectivity between the access layer and network aggregation or core infrastructure. Cisco identifies the C1200-48P-4X as one of the Catalyst 1200 models equipped with four 10G SFP+ uplinks.

This configuration is useful when a network requires more uplink bandwidth than traditional 1G SFP connections can provide.

The C1200-48P-4X has a 375W PoE power budget, allowing multiple PoE-enabled endpoints to operate from the switch.

The actual number of simultaneously powered devices depends on the power consumption of each connected endpoint.

The switch provides a 176 Gbps switching capacity and 130.94 Mpps forwarding rate, supporting high-volume Gigabit access traffic and 10G uplink connectivity.

The main hardware difference is PoE capability. The C1200-48P-4X is designed for deployments that need to power Ethernet devices, while the C1200-48T-4X is intended for networks where endpoint devices have independent power sources. Cisco's model comparison confirms that both models provide 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks.

The C1200-48P-4X and C1200-48FP-4X both provide 48 Gigabit PoE ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks, but their PoE power budgets differ.

The C1200-48P-4X provides a 375W PoE budget, while the C1200-48FP-4X provides a higher PoE power budget for deployments with greater power requirements.

When selecting between the two, calculate the combined power requirements of the connected PoE devices rather than choosing solely by port count.

The Cisco C1200-48P-4X can be deployed in a variety of network environments:

Connect computers, IP phones, wireless access points, printers, and other endpoints through a centralized Gigabit access switch.

Use PoE connectivity to simplify installation of IP cameras while using 10G SFP+ uplinks to connect the switch to an aggregation or monitoring network.

Power compatible wireless access points directly through Ethernet and use 10G uplinks for high-capacity connections toward the network core.

Provide network connectivity and PoE power to compatible IP phones while maintaining centralized network management.

The 48-port configuration provides high port density for offices, retail locations, schools, hotels, and other organizations requiring a combination of Gigabit access and 10G uplink connectivity.

The Cisco C1200-48P-4X is a Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series managed switch featuring 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and four 10G SFP+ uplink ports.

It has 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. The total PoE power budget is 375W.

Yes. The switch provides four 10G SFP+ uplink ports.

The switching capacity is 176 Gbps, with a forwarding rate of 130.94 Mpps.

Compatible PoE-powered devices can include wireless access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other IEEE-compliant Ethernet-powered equipment.

Yes. Its four 10G SFP+ uplinks can be used for high-speed connections toward aggregation switches, servers, storage, or network backbone equipment. The access ports remain Gigabit Ethernet.

The C1200-48P-4X supports PoE+ and provides a 375W PoE budget, while the C1200-48T-4X does not provide PoE. Both models have 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks.

Yes. Cisco specifies the C1200-48P-4X as a rack-mountable model.

Before purchasing a Cisco C1200-48P-4X, confirm the required quantity, hardware condition, power requirements, regional specifications, and included accessories.

For business network projects, technical assistance can include:

• Model and specification verification
• Port and PoE requirement checking
• 10G SFP+ compatibility guidance
• Network deployment consultation
• Product testing before shipment
• Packaging and shipping coordination
• Order tracking and after-sales communication
• Troubleshooting assistance for supported product issues

For bulk orders or network projects, customers should provide the required quantity, destination country, deployment scenario, and preferred product condition so that the correct configuration can be confirmed before ordering.

The C1200-48P-4X combines 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access, a 375W PoE budget, and four 10G SFP+ uplinks in a single rack-mountable switch. This combination makes it particularly relevant for network environments where many endpoints require both Ethernet connectivity and centralized PoE power, while the uplink infrastructure requires higher bandwidth.
