C1200-48T-4X Description
The C1200-48T-4X is a Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series managed Gigabit Ethernet switch for access racks that need 48 data ports with 10G uplinks. The switch has 48 10/100/1000 ports, four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks, 176 Gbps of switching capacity and 130.94 Mpps of forwarding rate in a 1RU chassis with one fan. The model has no PoE output, so powered endpoints need separate injectors or adapters, and the SFP+ ports run at 10G or 1G.

Product Performance
Key Features
All 48 RJ-45 ports run at 10/100/1000 without PoE, which suits endpoints with their own power.
The SFP+ ports support both 10G and 1G speeds, so the uplinks can start on 1G optics and move to 10G later.
Wire-speed, nonblocking switching of 176 Gbps and 130.94 Mpps leaves headroom for 48 ports feeding 10G uplinks.
The 48-port, 3 MB buffer layout matches C1200-48P-4X, but the chassis is 288 mm deep at 3.95 kg instead of 350 mm and 5.43 kg.
One fan at 29.7 dBA at 25 C keeps noise low enough for rooms near users.
Up to 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces let the switch route between VLANs at wire speed without a separate router.
Application Scenarios
An office or lab rack with workstations, printers and small servers can use the 48 Gigabit ports and send traffic to the distribution layer over 10G SFP+ links.
A branch cabinet where phones and access points are powered by other switches can use this switch for the wired data devices and uplink to the core at 10G.
A school or library closet with wall jacks for PCs can aggregate them at 176 Gbps and link to the campus backbone over fiber or DAC cables on the SFP+ ports.

C1200-48T-4X is the data-only 10G-uplink model: 48 copper ports with 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks and 176.0 Gbps, against C1200-48T-4G, which has 4 x Gigabit SFP and 104.0 Gbps for closets whose aggregation runs at 1G. Powered endpoints such as phones, cameras and access points need C1200-48P-4X, which keeps the uplinks and capacity but adds a 375W PoE+ budget on a 445 x 350 x 44 mm chassis instead of 445 x 288 x 44 mm. When 24 copper ports are enough, C1200-24T-4X keeps the 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks and is fanless, with 128.0 Gbps and a 1.5 MB buffer.
Ordering Checklist
- Uplink optics: Add SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR, their -S versions SFP-10G-SR-S and SFP-10G-LR-S, or SFP-H10GB-CU1M, -CU3M and -CU5M copper cables for the four SFP+ ports. The package holds none of them, so the 10G uplinks stay empty until modules or cables are on the order.
- Rack kit: The 19-in. bracket ships with the switch; add RCKMNT-1RU-1K=, the separate 1RU rack kit, only if that kit is wanted. A second bracket kit duplicates the included bracket when it already fits the rack.
