C1000-48T-4G-L Description

The C1000-48T-4G-L is a Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series fixed managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch for access closets that connect data-only endpoints over copper. The switch has 48 10/100/1000 RJ45 data ports, four 1G SFP uplinks, 52 Gbps of forwarding bandwidth and 77.38 Mpps of forwarding rate, and it draws 53.66W without PoE. The switch supplies no PoE and is fan-cooled, and it can be grouped under one management IP only with other Catalyst 1000 units that have 1G uplinks.

Key Features

48 Data-Only Gigabit Ports

The switch has 48 RJ45 ports with no PoE circuitry, which keeps power draw to 53.66W and suits closets where every endpoint has its own supply.

Four 1G SFP Uplinks

The uplink slots accept SFP optics only, which fits closets that connect to the distribution layer over 1G fiber.

Fan-Cooled At 31.5 dB

The chassis is fan-cooled with a typical sound pressure of 31.5 dB, quieter than the PoE variants but not silent like the fanless 24-port models.

Low Power Rating Of 0.06 kVA

The maximum consumption rating is low enough to simplify UPS and circuit planning in a closet that holds several switches.

Front And Sides To Back Airflow

Air enters at the front and sides and leaves at the back. The direction is fixed and cannot be reversed, so rack placement must match the closet airflow.

Single IP Management For 1G Units

Up to eight Catalyst 1000 switches with 1G uplinks can join one management group over the front-panel SFP ports. Units with 10G uplinks cannot join the same group.

Application Scenarios

Open-Plan Office Desktop Drops

In an open-plan office, the switch connects 48 desktops and printers over copper and carries their traffic to the core through its 1G SFP uplinks.

Computer Lab Or Classroom Rack

A school computer lab can use the switch as a data-only access layer, with a single management IP shared across other 1G Catalyst 1000 units in the building.

Back-Office Retail Or Clinic Closet

A retail back office or clinic closet can terminate point-of-sale terminals and workstations that need Gigabit speed but have their own power.

C1000-48T-4G-L is the 48-port data-only model with four 1G SFP uplinks at a 52 Gbps forwarding class, while C1000-48T-4X-L has the same 48 data ports and no PoE with four 10G SFP+ uplinks at 88 Gbps. Closets that power phones, cameras or access points from the switch need C1000-48P-4G-L, which adds a 370W PoE budget on the same 1G uplinks and a 0.5 kVA power rating against 0.06 kVA. A site with 24 or fewer endpoints can use C1000-24T-4G-L, which is fanless and draws 22.8W without PoE against 53.66W. Single IP Management groups 1G models only with other 1G models, so C1000-48T-4X-L cannot join a group of 4G switches.

Ordering Checklist

  • Uplink optics: Add SFP modules only for the four SFP uplink slots, checked in the Cisco Transceiver Module Compatibility Matrix. The SFP slots do not accept SFP+ modules, so a 10G optic cannot be installed.
  • Power cord: Select one AC power cord for the destination country. The chassis ships without a cord and the ordering guide requires one to be selected.
  • Console cable and cord clip: Add CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 or CAB-CONSOLE-USB for management access, and PWR-CLP to retain the power cord. These are separate line items, so a switch ordered without them arrives with no console cable or cord clip.

Questions & Answers

  • Can C1000-48T-4G-L be stacked or grouped with other switches?

    Yes, through Single IP Management. C1000-48T-4G-L can be grouped under one management IP with up to eight Catalyst 1000 switches that have 1G uplinks, linked over the front-panel SFP ports. Units with 10G uplinks cannot join the same group.
  • At which network layer does C1000-48T-4G-L operate, and how is it managed?

    C1000-48T-4G-L is a fixed managed Layer 2 switch that runs a single universal Cisco IOS Software image. Management is through the CLI, the on-box web UI or the RJ-45 Ethernet console, or as part of a Single IP Management group of up to eight Catalyst 1000 units with 1G uplinks.
  • How many MAC addresses and active VLANs does C1000-48T-4G-L support?

    C1000-48T-4G-L supports 16,000 unicast MAC addresses and 256 active VLANs chosen from 4094 VLAN IDs. It also provides 64 STP instances and 64 SVIs under the default SDM template. Design VLANs inside the 256 active limit, because only 256 of the 4094 VLAN IDs can be active on the switch at the same time.
  • Which IPv6 route and SVI limits apply on C1000-48T-4G-L?

    C1000-48T-4G-L supports 64 SVIs, 414 IPv6 direct routes and 128 IPv6 indirect routes, with static routing as the only routing method. Route tables are limited to the 414 direct and 128 indirect IPv6 values, so plan prefix counts within those limits.
  • What ambient temperature range can C1000-48T-4G-L run in at 5,000 ft and 10,000 ft?

    C1000-48T-4G-L runs at ambient temperatures up to 45 C at 5,000 ft (1500 m) and up to 40 C at 10,000 ft. The 50 C figure is short-term only per the datasheet footnote, and cold start needs 0 C. Sustained operation must stay inside the 45 C and 40 C steps.
  • How do I convert an SFP uplink on C1000-48T-4G-L into a Single IP Management port?

    Enter switch N hstack-port 1 or 2 followed by the uplink name, save with copy running-config startup-config, then reload C1000-48T-4G-L. At most two ports can serve as management ports. Both uplinks can be single-IP ports, or one can stay a network port. Mixing SFP and SFP+ as management ports is not supported.
  • Can sFlow run on C1000-48T-4G-L when it is a Single IP Management member?

    No. sFlow cannot be used on member switches in a Single IP Management group that includes C1000-48T-4G-L. Single IP Management is a management feature, not a data-plane stack, with one active unit and the other units as members. The link uses front-panel uplinks, downlink gigabit ports are not supported for it, and no Fast Ethernet model can join.
  • Which egress queue count applies to QoS on C1000-48T-4G-L?

    The datasheet states up to 8 egress queues and 2 thresholds per port on C1000-48T-4G-L, with egress bandwidth control, shaping and priority queuing. Plan QoS policies around 8 queues per port, because queue counts above that figure are not available on this model.
  • What can the USB-A port on C1000-48T-4G-L be used for?

    The USB-A port on C1000-48T-4G-L is limited to USB storage and a Bluetooth dongle for CLI and GUI access. The switch has an ARM v7 800 MHz CPU, 256 MB flash and 512 MB DRAM, measured in megabytes, not megabits, plus a 1.5 MB egress buffer.
