Product Performance
Key Features
The PID is for copper data access, so it belongs in bills where endpoints have separate power and a PoE budget should not be priced into the switch line.
The 4 x Gigabit SFP uplink side fits fiber or copper SFP handoff at the 1G aggregation tier, with Cisco-listed SFP options available for the Catalyst 1200 family.
Cisco identifies the model as rack-mountable and lists a 445 x 288 x 44 mm chassis, which is shallower than the 48-port PoE 4G model and useful for cabinet fit checks.
The switch uses internal 100 to 240V AC power, so the quote should match the correct cord, PDU capacity, and UPS plan instead of an external power adapter.
Catalyst 1200 documentation covers Layer 2 switching, VLAN support, STP, ACL, QoS, and IPv4/IPv6 static routing for small and midsize access deployments.
Cisco documents on-device UI, CLI, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, SNMP, RJ-45 console, and USB-C console access for this switch family.
Application Scenarios
C1200-48T-4G fits office, retail, lab, or branch racks where desktops, printers, terminals, and other self-powered devices need 48 copper Gigabit ports.
C1200-48T-4G fits access designs built around 4 x Gigabit SFP links where the buyer does not need the SFP+ uplink class of C1200-48T-4X.
The data-only profile avoids a PoE budget while retaining Catalyst 1200 management features, making it suitable when access density matters more than endpoint power delivery.

- In a C1200-48T-4G vs C1200-48P-4G comparison, the hardware layout keeps 48 copper ports and 4 x 1G SFP uplinks, but C1200-48P-4G adds a 375W PoE+ budget and a deeper chassis.
- The C1200-48T-4G vs C1200-48T-4X difference is the uplink tier: the 4G model uses 4 x Gigabit SFP while the 4X model uses 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ with higher capacity figures.
- For C1200-48T-4G vs C1200-24T-4G, the comparison is access density and cooling profile; the 48-port model doubles the copper data ports and uses one fan.
- The which model to choose check should start with endpoint power, then confirm whether the uplink handoff is 1G SFP or 10G SFP+.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for 48-port non-PoE access
Select C1200-48T-4G when the rack needs forty-eight copper Gigabit data ports and powered endpoints are not part of the switch budget.
2. Use C1200-48P-4G for powered endpoints
Move to C1200-48P-4G if phones, cameras, access points, or readers need switch-supplied PoE+ on the same 48-port 1G-uplink footprint.
3. Use C1200-48T-4X for 10G aggregation
Specify C1200-48T-4X when the endpoint side remains data-only but the upstream design requires four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks.
4. Keep C1200-24T-4G for smaller data closets
C1200-24T-4G is the lower-density data model when 24 copper ports and fanless operation meet the site requirement.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact PID |
C1200-48T-4G |
Keeps the order tied to the 48-port data-only 1G-uplink model |
|
Endpoint power |
Attached devices are self-powered or do not need PoE from the switch |
Avoids replacing a PoE design with a data-only Catalyst 1200 SKU |
|
Uplink tier |
Four Gigabit SFP ports are enough for the aggregation design |
Separates this model from C1200-48T-4X with 10G SFP+ uplinks |
|
SFP media |
Cisco-listed 1G SFP optics or copper SFPs match the fiber or copper handoff |
Prevents 10G SFP+ assumptions on a 4G uplink switch |
|
AC power |
Internal 100 to 240V AC input and the correct power cord fit the rack |
Aligns the switch with the PDU and UPS plan |
|
Cooling and placement |
One-fan operation and 29.7 dBA acoustic value at 25 C are acceptable |
Helps decide whether the switch belongs near users or in a wiring closet |
