C1300-48FP-4X Description
C1300-48FP-4X is a Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series fixed managed Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch for branch, SMB, and campus access networks that need dense powered edge connectivity with 10G uplinks. It provides 48 10/100/1000 RJ-45 PoE+ downlink ports, four 10G SFP+ uplink ports, a 740W PoE power budget, 176 Gbps switching capacity, and front-panel stacking support for up to eight C1300 Family 1 switches.

Product Performance
Key Features
The SKU combines 48 powered Gigabit copper ports with a 740W switch-level PoE pool, making endpoint count and wattage part of the same procurement check.
Four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks put the model in the 4X Catalyst 1300 group, so the media plan should use approved SFP+ optics, DACs, or AOCs instead of 1G SFP parts.
Cisco includes C1300-48FP-4X in the C1300 Family 1 stacking list, where same-family models can be managed in a stack of up to 8 switches.
The Catalyst 1300 data sheet documents IPv4 and IPv6 routing, VLAN, ACL, QoS, and security capabilities for branch and SMB access designs.
Catalyst 1300 PoE models support 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+, so powered-device classes should be checked against the switch budget before ordering.
Cisco lists internal 100 to 240V AC power, one fan, 48.7 dBA acoustic value, and PoE-loaded heat dissipation, which helps buyers size the rack, UPS, and closet cooling.
Application Scenarios
C1300-48FP-4X fits wiring closets where 48 phones, cameras, readers, or access points need Gigabit PoE+ access and the aggregation handoff is 10G SFP+.
The SKU is suitable for a C1300 Family 1 stack design when the project needs 48 powered access ports on a member switch and wants stack management under one logical system.
This model belongs in refresh orders where C1300-48P-4X has too little PoE budget or C1300-48FP-4G keeps the site on 1G SFP uplinks.

- In a C1300-48FP-4X vs C1300-48P-4X comparison, both models keep 48 PoE+ ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks; the difference is the higher 740W budget on C1300-48FP-4X.
- The C1300-48FP-4X vs C1300-48FP-4G difference is the uplink tier, because the 4X model uses 10G SFP+ and reaches 176.0 Gbps while the 4G model uses 1G SFP and 104.0 Gbps.
- For C1300-48FP-4X vs C1300-24FP-4X, the comparison is access density and power pool size: 48 ports with 740W versus 24 ports with 375W.
- The which model to choose decision should separate three facts in the table: PoE budget, copper access count, and whether the uplink design is 10G SFP+ or 1G SFP.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for 48 powered ports and 10G uplinks
Specify C1300-48FP-4X when the site needs 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, a 740W power budget, and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks in the same Catalyst 1300 switch.
2. Use C1300-48P-4X for lighter PoE draw
C1300-48P-4X is the nearby 48-port 4X choice when the endpoint worksheet fits the lower Cisco ordering-description PoE value.
3. Keep C1300-48FP-4G for 1G SFP aggregation
C1300-48FP-4G keeps the 48-port and 740W power profile but should be selected only when 4 x 1G SFP uplinks match the upstream network.
4. Reduce to C1300-24FP-4X for smaller closets
C1300-24FP-4X belongs in orders where 24 powered copper ports and a 375W budget are enough, while the 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink requirement remains.

Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact product ID |
C1300-48FP-4X appears on the purchase line |
Prevents mixing the 740W 4X model with 48P or 4G alternatives |
|
Endpoint power worksheet |
Aggregate PoE draw fits the 740W switch budget |
The switch has 48 PoE+ ports but still shares one PoE pool |
|
Uplink media |
SFP+ optics, DACs, or AOCs match the upstream 10G handoff |
Avoids quoting 1G SFP media for a 4X uplink design |
|
Stack family |
Stack members are from the same supported C1300 family |
Cisco does not support cross-family stacking between C1300 families |
|
Electrical load |
100 to 240V AC input and PoE-loaded draw match the site power plan |
Full-PoE operation changes UPS and circuit sizing |
|
Rack environment |
1RU depth, one-fan acoustics, heat dissipation, and ventilation space are acceptable |
High-PoE 48-port access switches can affect cabinet and office-adjacent closets |
