C1200-48P-4G Description
C1200-48P-4G is a Cisco Catalyst 1200 managed Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch for campus access deployments that need high-density copper access with fiber uplinks. Cisco identifies this model with 48 10/100/1000 RJ45 PoE+ ports, 4 Gigabit SFP uplinks, a 375W PoE budget, 104.0 Gbps switching capacity, and a 77.38 Mpps forwarding rate, making it a 48-port powered access switch for connecting endpoints while keeping Gigabit SFP uplink options in the same fixed chassis.

Product Performance
Key Features
The switch combines 48 Gigabit copper access ports with PoE+ output, reducing the need to split a powered endpoint build across multiple lower-density access switches.
The 375W PoE budget is the central ordering limit, so the endpoint count and endpoint wattage must both be checked before the SKU is quoted.
The uplink side uses 4 x 1G SFP interfaces, keeping the model aligned with Gigabit fiber aggregation instead of the 10G SFP+ uplink class used by C1200-48P-4X.
Cisco lists the SKU as rack-mountable with a 445 x 350 x 44 mm chassis, which matters for access closets that need full 48-port density in a 1RU form factor.
The model uses internal 100 to 240V AC power, so the rack plan should include the correct AC cord, PDU capacity, UPS load, and powered-switch draw.
Cisco documentation covers CLI, on-box web UI, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, SNMP, VLAN, ACL, QoS, and IPv4/IPv6 static routing for Catalyst 1200 deployments.
Application Scenarios
C1200-48P-4G fits branch, education, retail, and office racks where a single access switch must connect and power a larger mix of phones, cameras, readers, and wireless access points.
The model is relevant when the access design needs 48 PoE+ copper ports but the upstream handoff remains 4 x Gigabit SFP rather than 10G SFP+.
Select this SKU when C1200-24FP-4G does not provide enough copper ports and the project does not require the 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink tier of C1200-48P-4X.

- In a C1200-48P-4G vs C1200-48T-4G comparison, the key difference is PoE: both keep 48 copper ports and 4 x 1G SFP uplinks, but C1200-48P-4G adds 48 PoE+ ports and a 375W budget.
- The C1200-48P-4G vs C1200-48P-4X difference is the uplink tier; the 4G model uses 4 x Gigabit SFP while the 4X model uses 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ and a higher switching-capacity class.
- For C1200-48P-4G vs C1200-24FP-4G, the comparison is port density: both are 375W 1G-uplink PoE+ models, but C1200-48P-4G doubles the copper PoE+ port count.
- The which model to choose check should start with powered-port quantity, then confirm whether the upstream design needs 1G SFP or 10G SFP+ uplinks.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for 48-port PoE access
Specify C1200-48P-4G when the bill of materials requires 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, 4 x 1G SFP uplinks, and a Cisco-listed 375W PoE budget.
2. Keep C1200-48T-4G for data-only access
C1200-48T-4G is the closer line item when the same 48-port and 4 x 1G SFP layout is needed but the switch should not provide endpoint power.
3. Move to C1200-48P-4X for 10G uplinks
C1200-48P-4X should enter the quote when the powered access profile stays at 48 ports and 375W but the aggregation design requires 4 x 10G SFP+.
4. Stay with C1200-24FP-4G for smaller closets
C1200-24FP-4G fits orders that need the same 375W PoE class and 1G SFP uplinks but only require 24 copper PoE+ ports.
PoE Power Planning
|
Check Item |
Cisco-confirmed Value |
Planning Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
Available PoE |
375W power dedicated to PoE |
Total powered-device draw must fit the switch budget before quote approval |
|
PoE port count |
48 PoE+ access ports |
Endpoint count can scale to 48 copper ports but remains limited by aggregate budget |
|
Power consumption with PoE |
110V=450.65W; 220V=437.14W |
UPS and circuit planning should use the powered-switch draw rather than idle power |
|
Heat dissipation |
1537.68 BTU/hr |
Rack thermal planning should reflect PoE load and the 48-port chassis |
|
Fan design |
1 fan with 37.3 dBA acoustic value at 25 C |
Placement should account for fan-cooled operation in offices or classrooms |
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact SKU |
C1200-48P-4G |
Keeps the order tied to the 48-port Catalyst 1200 PoE+ 1G-uplink model |
|
PoE load |
Aggregate powered-device draw inside 375W |
Prevents overcommitting phones, cameras, readers, and access points on a 48-port switch |
|
Uplink tier |
4 x Gigabit SFP uplinks |
Separates this SKU from the C1200-48P-4X 10G SFP+ alternative |
|
Access scale |
48 PoE+ copper ports |
Confirms the project needs the 48-port footprint rather than a 24-port full-PoE model |
|
Power input |
Internal 100 to 240V AC power |
Aligns the switch with the correct cord, PDU, and UPS plan |
|
Cooling profile |
One fan and 37.3 dBA acoustic value at 25 C |
Helps set rack placement and office-side noise expectations |
