C1300-48P-4G Description
The C1300-48P-4G is a Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series managed Layer 3 PoE+ access switch for branch and small-business closets that power phones, access points and cameras. The switch shares a 375W PoE budget across 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports, uplinks through four 1G SFP slots and switches 104 Gbps on a single fan rated 37.3 dBA at 25°C. Routing between VLANs uses RIP v2 and policy-based routing, with OSPF reserved for the Catalyst 1300X line, and no Catalyst 1300 stacking family includes the model.

Product Performance
Key Features
Each of the 48 copper ports supports 30W PoE+, and all of them draw from the same 375W pool. Support for 802.3af and Cisco pre-standard PoE alongside 802.3at lets older powered phones run on the same switch as newer PoE+ access points.
The SFP slots sit apart from the copper ports, so the switch offers 52 Gigabit ports with no combo pairs. Each uplink takes its own optic: MGBSX1 or GLC-SX-MMD for multimode runs, GLC-LH-SMD or GLC-EX-SMD for 10 km and 40 km single-mode links, or GLC-TE for copper.
A single fan cools the chassis and is rated at 37.3 dBA at 25°C. With PoE in full use the switch gives off 1537.68 BTU/hr, which is the figure to plan cabinet cooling around.
IPv4 and IPv6 traffic routes between VLANs at wire speed. RIP v2 learns routes from neighboring routers, policy-based routing steers selected flows, and the table holds up to 990 IPv4 routes across 128 IP interfaces.
Persistent PoE keeps phones and cameras powered while the switch reboots after a firmware change. Time-based PoE turns port power off and on by schedule, for example for access points in rooms that close at night.
IP phones land in a dedicated voice VLAN through Voice Services Discovery Protocol. Auto Smartports reads CDP and LLDP-MED from each attached device and applies a matching port configuration.
Application Scenarios
A company with one office floor can run all of its desk phones and ceiling access points from this 48-port switch in the floor closet, with the PoE+ ports powering both device types.
Along warehouse aisles, PoE+ IP cameras connect to the copper ports of a switch in the site cabinet, and a 1G fiber link from one SFP slot carries their video to the recording server in another building.
In the back-office rack of a larger store, the switch powers in-store access points and security cameras, then hands their traffic to the store router over a 1G SFP uplink.

Not supported |
C1300-48P-4G and C1300-48FP-4G both pair 48 PoE+ ports with four 1G SFP uplinks and 104 Gbps of switching, and the PoE budget is what separates them: 375W here against 740W. Once the planned endpoints draw more than 375W in total, or more than 12 of them need the full 30W, the closet moves to C1300-48FP-4G and its louder 48.7 dBA fan. C1300-48P-4X keeps the 375W budget but carries four 10G SFP+ uplinks, 176 Gbps and C1300 Family 1 stacking of up to eight units, which makes it the model for a 10G handoff or a stacked closet. Where nothing on the floor takes power from the switch, C1300-48T-4G keeps the same 48-port, 1G SFP layout without PoE, at 29.7 dBA.

Ordering Checklist
- 1G SFP optics: Add one supported 1G SFP per uplink in use, such as GLC-SX-MMD for multimode or GLC-LH-SMD for single-mode fiber. The package holds no optics, so an uplink without its own module line stays unconnected.
- Power cord option: The switch ships with a power cord unless NO-POWER-CORD is selected on the order. Select that option only when cords for the site are supplied separately.
