C1200-24FP-4X Description
C1200-24FP-4X is a Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series managed Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch built for campus access switching where copper endpoint ports and 10G fiber uplinks are needed in one fixed platform. It provides 24 10/100/1000 RJ45 PoE+ downlink ports, 4 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink interfaces, a 375W PoE power budget, 128.0 Gbps switching capacity, and a 95.23 Mpps forwarding rate, giving buyers a compact access-layer switch for powering phones, wireless access points, cameras, and other edge devices while uplinking to higher-speed aggregation ports.

Product Performance
Key Features
The switch combines 24 Gigabit copper PoE+ access ports with a 375W PoE budget, so the order line is suited to denser powered endpoint plans than the 195W C1200-24P sibling.
C1200-24FP-4X uses 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks, which separates it from C1200-24FP-4G when the aggregation design requires 10G handoff instead of 1G SFP uplinks.
Cisco positions the Catalyst 1200 Series as fixed-managed Gigabit Ethernet switching for small and medium-size business and branch access networks.
The platform supports VLAN, spanning tree, ACL, QoS, IPv4 and IPv6 features, and Layer 3 static routing for access segmentation without ordering a higher campus-switch family.
The model is listed with internal 100 to 240V AC power, so site planning should account for AC cord, UPS load, and switch power consumption rather than an external adapter.
Cisco lists one fan and a 34.8 dBA acoustic value at 25 C for C1200-24FP-4X, which matters for rack placement and office-side noise expectations.
Application Scenarios
C1200-24FP-4X fits sites where a single access switch must power phones, cameras, readers, and wireless access points from 24 Gigabit copper ports.
The 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks make this model relevant when the closet uplink plan is faster than the 1G SFP handoff used by the 4G Catalyst 1200 variants.
The SKU fits projects where the endpoint count stays at 24 ports but the powered-device mix needs the 375W PoE class rather than the 195W C1200-24P profile.

- In a C1200-24FP-4X vs C1200-24P-4X comparison, the key difference is PoE budget: both use 24 PoE+ ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks, but C1200-24FP-4X moves from 195W to 375W.
- The C1200-24FP-4X vs C1200-24FP-4G difference is the uplink tier; the 4X SKU uses 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ while the 4G SKU stays on 4 x Gigabit SFP and a lower switching-capacity class.
- For C1200-24FP-4X vs C1200-48P-4X, the comparison is port density and switching capacity: the C1200-48P model doubles the PoE+ copper port count and moves to 176.0 Gbps.
- The which model to choose check should start with the PoE budget, then confirm whether the site needs 24 or 48 access ports and whether 10G SFP+ uplinks are required.
Selection Guide
1. Match the SKU to full-PoE 10G access
Specify C1200-24FP-4X when the access bill of materials combines 24 Gigabit PoE+ downlinks, a 375W PoE budget, and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks.
2. Check the 195W sibling before substituting
C1200-24P-4X is the closer fit only if the same 24-port 10G-uplink chassis can support the endpoint power plan inside the lower 195W class.
3. Treat C1200-24FP-4G as an uplink decision
C1200-24FP-4G keeps the 375W PoE profile, so the main order difference is whether the aggregation side requires 1G SFP or 10G SFP+ interfaces.
4. Escalate to 48 ports only for endpoint count
C1200-48P-4X should enter the quote when access-port quantity is the constraint, not merely because the project needs a 375W PoE budget.
PoE Power Planning
|
Check Item |
Cisco-confirmed Value |
Planning Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
Available PoE |
375W power dedicated to PoE |
Total endpoint draw should be checked against the switch budget before the SKU is quoted |
|
PoE port count |
24 PoE+ access ports |
The powered-device plan should fit both the port count and the total PoE budget |
|
Uplink power |
4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks |
The uplink ports are for SFP+ media and do not add PoE endpoint capacity |
|
Power consumption with PoE |
110V=452.9W; 220V=450.4W |
UPS and circuit planning should use the powered-switch draw rather than only idle consumption |
|
Heat dissipation |
1544.4 BTU/hr |
Rack placement should include thermal planning for the full-PoE configuration |
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
SKU identity |
C1200-24FP-4X with 24 PoE+ downlinks and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks |
Prevents accidental substitution with the 4G uplink model or the 195W C1200-24P model |
|
PoE endpoint matrix |
Aggregate powered-device draw against the 375W switch budget |
Keeps cameras, phones, and access points inside the Cisco-listed PoE class |
|
Uplink media plan |
SFP+ optics or SFP+ copper cables listed by Cisco for Catalyst 1200 SFP+ ports |
Avoids quoting 1G-only SFP media for a 10G uplink design |
|
Rack environment |
One fan and 34.8 dBA acoustic value at 25 C |
Flags sites where a fan-cooled access switch may need a closet rather than a quiet desk-side location |
|
Electrical planning |
Internal 100 to 240V AC input plus powered-switch consumption |
Aligns the order with the correct AC cord, UPS sizing, and circuit load |
|
Access scale |
24-port footprint versus 48-port Catalyst 1200 alternatives |
Confirms whether the project needs more copper ports rather than only more PoE budget |
