C1200-24T-4G Description
C1200-24T-4G is a Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series managed Gigabit Ethernet switch for campus access deployments that need a data-only 24-port copper access layer with fiber uplinks. It provides 24 x 10/100/1000 downlink ports and 4 x Gigabit SFP uplink interfaces, with 56.0 Gbps switching capacity and a 41.66 Mpps forwarding rate for small and midsize network closets. This model uses an internal universal AC power supply, has a fanless design, and does not provide a PoE output budget, making it suitable where connected endpoints have separate power or do not require PoE from the switch.

Key Features
The order line is for 24 Gigabit copper data ports, so it should not replace a PoE+ Catalyst 1200 SKU when phones, cameras, access points, or other powered endpoints require switch power.
The 4 x Gigabit SFP uplink layout suits access closets that need fiber handoff or copper SFP handoff while staying on the 1G uplink tier.
Cisco identifies C1200-24T-4G as fanless, which matters for classrooms, retail back rooms, open offices, and other locations where access-switch noise is a placement constraint.
The switch uses internal 100 to 240V AC power, so the rack plan should match the supplied power cord and PDU rather than an external power-adapter expectation.
Catalyst 1200 documentation lists IPv4 and IPv6 static routing, up to 32 static routes, and up to 16 IP interfaces for simple inter-VLAN routing at the access layer.
Cisco documents web UI, CLI access, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard, and Cisco Business mobile app management options for Catalyst 1200 deployments.
Application Scenarios
C1200-24T-4G fits branch and small-office racks where the endpoint plan is data-only and the bill of materials needs 24 copper access ports with four 1G uplinks.
The fanless chassis and 445 x 240 x 44 mm form factor help when the switch is installed near users rather than in a separate equipment room.
Use this SKU where the upstream design is based on Gigabit SFP links and the buyer does not need the 10G SFP+ uplink class of C1200-24T-4X.

- In a C1200-24T-4G vs C1200-16T-2G comparison, the difference is access scale: C1200-24T-4G moves to 24 data ports and four 1G SFP uplinks.
- The C1200-24T-4G vs C1200-24P-4G difference is PoE: both keep 24 copper ports and 4 x Gigabit SFP uplinks, but C1200-24P-4G adds a 195W PoE+ budget.
- For C1200-24T-4G vs C1200-24T-4X, the comparison is uplink tier and performance class: the 4X model uses 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks with 128.0 Gbps switching capacity.
- The which model to choose check should start with data-only versus PoE endpoints, then confirm whether the uplink handoff is 1G SFP or 10G SFP+.
Selection Guide
1. Select it for 24-port data access
Choose C1200-24T-4G when the site needs 24 non-PoE Gigabit copper ports and four dedicated 1G SFP uplinks.
2. Stay with C1200-16T-2G for smaller closets
Use C1200-16T-2G when 16 copper data ports and two 1G SFP uplinks cover the endpoint count without adding unused rack width.
3. Move to C1200-24P-4G for powered endpoints
Specify C1200-24P-4G when the same 24-port 1G-uplink layout must power phones, cameras, access points, or other PoE+ endpoints.
4. Change to C1200-24T-4X for 10G uplinks
Use C1200-24T-4X when the copper access count stays at 24 ports but the uplink design requires 10 Gigabit SFP+ interfaces.
Ordering Checklist
|
Order Area |
Confirmation Needed |
Procurement Risk |
|---|---|---|
|
PID lock |
Use C1200-24T-4G for the 24-port data Catalyst 1200 line item |
Avoids mixing the data model with PoE or 10G-uplink PIDs |
|
Endpoint power plan |
Attached copper devices are self-powered or do not require switch-supplied PoE |
Prevents a non-PoE switch from being placed in a powered endpoint bill |
|
Uplink bill |
Four Gigabit SFP ports match the selected Cisco-listed 1G optics or copper SFPs |
Keeps the optic order aligned to the 4G model rather than SFP+ hardware |
|
AC power design |
The rack uses internal 100 to 240V AC input and the proper power cord |
Removes the risk of planning around an external adapter |
|
Operations access |
Web UI, CLI, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard, or mobile app fits the support workflow |
Aligns the switch with the expected management method |
