C1200-24P-4G Description
C1200-24P-4G is a Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series managed Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch for campus access and small-business networks that need copper endpoint connectivity with fiber uplink handoff. It provides 24 10/100/1000 RJ45 PoE+ access ports, four Gigabit SFP uplinks, a 195W PoE power budget, 56.0 Gbps switching capacity, and a fanless rack-mountable design for wiring closets serving IP phones, cameras, wireless access points, and desktop devices.

Product Performance
Key Features
The model gives buyers 24 Gigabit PoE+ access ports with a Cisco-listed 195W aggregate budget, making endpoint count and endpoint wattage separate checks during ordering.
The uplink side uses 4 x 1G SFP interfaces, which keeps the SKU aligned with 1G fiber aggregation instead of the 10G SFP+ designs used by the 4X models.
Cisco identifies C1200-24P-4G as fanless, a meaningful difference from the higher-PoE C1200-24FP-4G when the switch is placed near office or classroom users.
The switch uses internal 100 to 240V AC power, so the power plan should focus on the correct AC cord, UPS load, and powered-switch consumption rather than an external adapter.
Cisco documents Layer 2 switching, VLAN, STP, ACL, QoS, and IPv4/IPv6 static routing for Catalyst 1200 models, supporting basic segmentation at the access layer.
Operations teams can manage the switch through the on-box web UI, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, CLI, and SNMP according to Cisco documentation.
Application Scenarios
C1200-24P-4G fits small business, branch, education, and retail racks where the design needs 24 powered copper ports but the endpoint mix can stay inside a 195W PoE budget.
Use this SKU when the access closet connects upstream through Gigabit SFP links and the site benefits from fanless hardware instead of the fan-cooled full-PoE model.
The switch is relevant for refreshes that combine IP phones, cameras, readers, and selected wireless access points, provided the aggregate PoE draw is checked before quoting.

- In a C1200-24P-4G vs C1200-24T-4G comparison, the difference is PoE: both keep 24 copper ports and 4 x 1G SFP uplinks, but C1200-24P-4G adds a 195W PoE+ budget.
- The C1200-24P-4G vs C1200-24FP-4G difference is power budget and cooling; the FP model moves to 375W PoE and one fan while the C1200-24P model remains fanless at 195W.
- For C1200-24P-4G vs C1200-24P-4X, the comparison is uplink tier and performance class: the 4X model keeps the 195W PoE profile but uses 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks and 128.0 Gbps switching capacity.
- The which model to choose check should start with powered-device wattage, then confirm whether the site needs 1G or 10G uplinks.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for 195W PoE access
Specify C1200-24P-4G when the bill of materials needs 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports and the endpoint plan fits within the Cisco-listed 195W budget.
2. Keep C1200-24T-4G for data-only ports
Use C1200-24T-4G instead when the same 24-port and 4 x 1G SFP layout is required but no powered endpoints should be budgeted.
3. Move up for full-PoE budgets
Select C1200-24FP-4G when the access design still uses 1G SFP uplinks but the powered endpoint count requires the 375W PoE class.
4. Change to 4X only for 10G uplinks
Use C1200-24P-4X when the main difference is aggregation speed, because it keeps the 195W PoE tier while changing uplinks to 10G SFP+.
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
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact SKU |
C1200-24P-4G |
Keeps the order tied to the 24-port Catalyst 1200 195W PoE 1G-uplink model |
|
PoE load |
Aggregate powered-device draw inside 195W |
Prevents substituting a lower-budget switch into a phone, camera, or access-point deployment that needs the FP model |
|
Uplink optics |
4 x Gigabit SFP media such as Cisco-listed 1G SFP modules |
Separates this SKU from 10G SFP+ 4X alternatives |
|
Cooling expectation |
Fanless hardware |
Helps decide whether the lower-budget fanless model or the fan-cooled higher-budget model fits the room |
|
Power input |
Internal 100 to 240V AC power |
Aligns the switch with the correct cord, rack PDU, and UPS plan |
|
Management model |
Web UI, CLI, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, and SNMP |
Confirms the operating approach for Catalyst 1200 access switching |
