C1200-48P-4X Description
C1200-48P-4X is a Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series managed Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch for campus access networks that need a 48-port copper edge with 10G fiber uplinks. It provides 48 10/100/1000 RJ45 PoE+ downlink ports, four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks, a 375W PoE power budget, 176.0 Gbps switching capacity, and 130.94 Mpps forwarding performance, making it a fixed-access switching option for desks, access points, cameras, and other PoE-powered endpoints.

Product Performance
Key Features
The switch supports a full 48-port access closet where phones, cameras, readers, and selected wireless access points need PoE+ rather than data-only copper.
Four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks separate this SKU from the C1200-48P-4G model when the aggregation side must move beyond Gigabit SFP.
The Cisco-listed 375W budget is the controlling power figure, so buyers should check total endpoint draw before treating all 48 ports as simultaneously powered.
Cisco lists one fan, 37.3 dBA acoustic value at 25 C, and a 445 x 350 x 44 mm chassis, which affects rack placement near office or classroom users.
The model uses internal 100 to 240V AC power, keeping the order tied to the correct power cord, PDU, UPS load, and powered-switch consumption.
Catalyst 1200 documentation covers VLAN, STP, ACL, QoS, IPv4 and IPv6 static routing, CLI, web UI, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, and SNMP management.
Application Scenarios
C1200-48P-4X fits branch, retail, education, and office access closets where one fixed switch must power many edge devices and hand traffic upstream through 10G SFP+ links.
Use this line when a C1200-48P-4G style 48-port powered access design needs the same 375W PoE class but the uplink side must change from Gigabit SFP to 10G SFP+.
The SKU is relevant when C1200-48T-4X has the right 10G uplink tier but cannot be used because the endpoint plan includes PoE+ devices on the copper access ports.

- In a C1200-48P-4X vs C1200-48P-4G comparison, the key difference is uplink speed: both keep 48 PoE+ ports and a 375W budget, but the 4X SKU changes the uplinks to 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+.
- The C1200-48P-4X vs C1200-48T-4X difference is endpoint power, because both use 48 copper downlinks and 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks while the C1200-48T model is data only.
- For C1200-48P-4X vs C1200-24FP-4X, the comparison is access density and switching class: both use 375W PoE and 10G SFP+ uplinks, but C1200-48P-4X doubles the PoE+ copper port count.
- The which model to choose check should confirm powered-port quantity first, then confirm whether the upstream handoff requires Gigabit SFP or 10G SFP+.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for 48-port PoE with 10G uplinks
Specify C1200-48P-4X when the access bill of materials requires 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports, 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks, and a Cisco-listed 375W PoE budget.
2. Stay with C1200-48P-4G for 1G aggregation
C1200-48P-4G is the closer model when the powered endpoint plan is unchanged but the upstream design only needs 4 x Gigabit SFP.
3. Use C1200-48T-4X only for data-only edge ports
C1200-48T-4X matches the 48-port 10G-uplink hardware direction but should replace this SKU only when the access layer does not need PoE+.
4. Drop to C1200-24FP-4X for smaller powered closets
C1200-24FP-4X fits a 10G-uplink full-PoE access order when 24 copper PoE+ ports cover the endpoint count and the 48-port footprint is unnecessary.
PoE Power Planning
|
Check Item |
Cisco-confirmed Value |
Planning Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
Available PoE |
375W power dedicated to PoE |
Total phone, camera, reader, and access point draw must stay inside the switch PoE budget |
|
PoE port count |
48 PoE+ access ports |
The port count supports a dense endpoint plan but does not remove the aggregate wattage limit |
|
Power consumption with PoE |
110V=450.65W; 220V=437.14W |
UPS and circuit sizing should use powered-switch consumption rather than idle draw |
|
Heat dissipation |
1537.68 BTU/hr |
Rack cooling should account for PoE load on the 48-port fan-cooled chassis |
|
Fan design |
1 fan with 37.3 dBA acoustic value at 25 C |
Placement should reflect fan-cooled operation in user-adjacent rooms |
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact SKU |
C1200-48P-4X |
Prevents substitution with the 1G-uplink C1200-48P-4G or data-only C1200-48T-4X |
|
Powered endpoint load |
Aggregate draw within 375W |
Keeps 48 PoE+ ports from being overcommitted against the Cisco-listed budget |
|
Access-port count |
48 copper PoE+ ports required |
Confirms the order should not drop to a 24-port full-PoE model |
|
Rack and power plan |
Internal 100 to 240V AC input, powered consumption, and one-fan cooling |
Matches the switch with the correct cord, rack PDU, UPS, and placement plan |
