C1200-48T-4X Description
C1200-48T-4X is a Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series managed Gigabit Ethernet switch for campus access racks that need 48 copper Gigabit data ports with higher-speed aggregation. It combines 48 x 10/100/1000 data ports, 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks, 176.0 Gbps switching capacity, and a 130.94 Mpps forwarding rate in a data-only model with internal universal AC power and no PoE output budget.

Product Performance
Key Features
The PID fits access bills where laptops, desktops, printers, servers, or edge devices bring their own power and the switch should not include a PoE budget.
The 4X uplink set gives the rack four 10 Gigabit SFP+ interfaces, and Cisco notes that the 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports support both 10G and 1G speeds.
C1200-48T-4X keeps the 48 copper-port count of C1200-48P-4X but removes PoE, so the substitution check should focus on endpoint power requirements.
Cisco lists a 445 x 288 x 44 mm chassis, 3.95 kg weight, and one fan, giving the model a shallower data-only profile than the 48-port PoE 4X switch.
The switch is in the internal 100 to 240V AC group, so the quote should align the power cord, PDU, UPS load, and rack plan with an AC-powered fixed switch.
Cisco documentation covers VLAN support, STP, ACL, QoS, IPv4 and IPv6 static routing, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, CLI, web UI, and SNMP management.
Application Scenarios
C1200-48T-4X fits office, lab, retail, or branch cabinets that need 48 copper Gigabit data ports and four 10G uplinks back to aggregation or distribution switches.
Use this SKU when a 48-port data-only C1200-48T-4G style deployment needs the uplink side changed from Gigabit SFP to 10 Gigabit SFP+ without adding PoE.
The data-only profile is useful when endpoint power comes from local adapters, injectors, or separate access hardware and the bill should not include a 375W PoE+ switch.

- In a C1200-48T-4X vs C1200-48T-4G comparison, both are 48-port data-only Catalyst 1200 switches, but the difference is the uplink tier: 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ on C1200-48T-4X versus 4 x Gigabit SFP on C1200-48T-4G.
- The C1200-48T-4X vs C1200-48P-4X difference is PoE: both use 48 copper ports and 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks, while C1200-48P-4X adds a 375W PoE+ budget and a deeper chassis.
- For C1200-48T-4X vs C1200-24T-4X, the comparison is access-port density and packet buffer size; the 48-port model doubles the data ports and uses a 3 MB buffer.
- The which model to choose check should start with endpoint power, then confirm whether the site needs 48 or 24 copper ports and whether the uplink handoff is Gigabit SFP or 10G SFP+.
Selection Guide
1. Hold it for 48-port data access with 10G uplinks
Specify C1200-48T-4X when the approved design calls for forty-eight copper Gigabit data ports and four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks in a fixed Catalyst 1200 switch.
2. Move to C1200-48P-4X only for powered endpoints
C1200-48P-4X is the closer replacement when the 10G uplink tier is still required but phones, cameras, readers, or access points need switch-supplied PoE+.
3. Use C1200-48T-4G when 1G uplinks are enough
C1200-48T-4G keeps the 48-port data-only role but changes the uplinks to 4 x Gigabit SFP, so it belongs in lower-uplink-speed access bills.
4. Use C1200-24T-4X for smaller non-PoE closets
C1200-24T-4X is the lower-density data-only 4X model when 24 copper ports satisfy the endpoint count and fanless operation is preferred.
