C1200-24P-4G Description
The C1200-24P-4G is a Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series fixed managed PoE+ access switch for small-office and branch closets that power a moderate number of phones, cameras and access points. The switch has 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports sharing a 195W budget, four Gigabit SFP uplinks and 56 Gbps of switching capacity in a fanless chassis. Each port can deliver up to 30.0W, but the budget covers only six ports at that level, and Layer 3 is limited to static routing.

Product Performance
Key Features
Every port can supply up to 30.0W, but 195W covers only six ports at that level. Phones and other low-draw devices can fill all 24 ports, so the combined draw of the endpoints sets the limit.
The 24 RJ-45 ports support 802.3at PoE+, 802.3af and Cisco prestandard PoE, so current endpoints and older Cisco phones can share the switch.
The uplinks run at 1G and accept modules such as GLC-SX-MMD for multimode fiber, GLC-LH-SMD for single-mode fiber and GLC-TE for copper.
The chassis has no fan and dissipates 802 BTU/hr at full PoE load, so the switch makes no fan noise in a shared room.
System draw with PoE reaches 235.2W at 110V and 230.8W at 220V, which is the figure to use when sizing the circuit and UPS.
The switch holds up to 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces, enough to route between VLANs locally but not to run dynamic routing protocols.
Application Scenarios
In an open office or classroom, the fanless switch powers IP phones and a few access points from its PoE+ ports without adding fan noise to the room.
A retail store or branch back room can connect phones, point-of-sale terminals and PoE cameras to one 24-port switch and uplink to the router or core over Gigabit SFP.
A school or warehouse can power low-draw IP cameras and badge readers from the PoE+ ports, with VLANs keeping security traffic apart from the office network.

C1200-24P-4G is the 195W PoE+ model of this group: C1200-24T-4G has the same 24 copper ports, 4 Gigabit SFP uplinks and 56.0 Gbps of switching with no PoE output, which suits closets with no powered devices. Powered devices that total more than 195W need C1200-24FP-4G, which raises the budget to 375W but adds one fan where C1200-24P-4G is fanless. Uplinks faster than 1G need C1200-24P-4X, which keeps the 195W budget and fanless design and moves to 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports and 128.0 Gbps of switching. Catalyst 1200 has no license tier, so none of these moves involves a software upgrade.
PoE Power Planning
|
Check Item |
Cisco-confirmed Value |
Planning Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
Available PoE |
195W power dedicated to PoE |
Total endpoint draw must fit the lower 24-port Catalyst 1200 PoE budget |
|
PoE port count |
24 PoE+ access ports |
The design can power endpoints on copper access ports but remains limited by aggregate budget |
|
Per-port PoE limit |
Up to 30.0W to any Gigabit Ethernet port within the switch budget |
A single high-draw endpoint can be supported only while the total switch budget remains available |
|
Power consumption with PoE |
110V=235.2W; 220V=230.8W |
UPS and circuit sizing should use the powered-switch draw rather than idle power |
|
Heat dissipation |
802 BTU/hr |
Thermal planning should reflect PoE load even though the model is fanless |
Ordering Checklist
- Uplink SFP modules: Add a module from the Catalyst 1200 list for the 1G ports, such as GLC-SX-MMD, GLC-LH-SMD, GLC-TE or MGBSX1. The SFP uplink cages ship empty and only listed modules are supported.
- Console cable: Add CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 or CAB-CONSOLE-USB-C. The package holds a switch, power cord, mounting kit and pointer card, with no console cable.
