C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A Description

The C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9200CX Series compact access switch for wall, DIN-rail and under-desk installs outside the wiring closet. The switch has 12 10/100/1000 data ports, two 10G SFP+ uplinks, two 1G copper uplinks and 70 Gbps of switching capacity, and it takes power from an 802.3bt Class 6 PD uplink at up to 51W or an optional 80W adapter. The -A suffix carries Network Advantage, which adds BGP, PTP and MACsec-256, and the switch does not stack.

Key Features

Power Through The PD Uplink

The 1G copper PD uplink accepts 802.3bt Class 6 power at up to 51W, so one cable can carry both the uplink and the switch’s power. An optional 80W AC-DC or DC-DC adapter takes priority over PD power when one is connected.

Fanless Chassis

With no internal fan, the switch makes no fan noise and needs no filter, which suits occupied space such as offices and shops.

Six Mounting Methods

A magnetic tray, DIN-rail bracket, 19-inch rack bracket, wall tray, under-desk mount or rubber feet for tabletop use all fit the 1.73 x 10.6 x 6.5 in chassis.

Advantage Routing And Timing

On the C9200CX platform, Network Advantage is the tier that enables BGP, PTP and MACsec-256, in addition to EIGRP, HSRP and VRF-based segmentation.

Two Fixed 10G SFP+ Uplinks

The SFP+ cages are built into the chassis and sit beside two 1G copper uplinks, so the fiber uplinks need no network module.

Standalone Operation

The compact chassis has no stacking support, so each unit is configured and managed as an independent switch with 16 SD-Access virtual networks.

Application Scenarios

Branch Edge Access Point

In a small branch office, the switch aggregates desktops and printers on its 12 gigabit ports and reaches the site router over the 10G SFP+ uplinks, with BGP available for routing at the edge.

Retail Back Room And Kiosk Cabinet

Behind a counter or inside a kiosk cabinet, the switch mounts on a DIN rail or wall tray and connects point-of-sale terminals and signage players without needing rack space.

Remote Drop Powered From The Closet

At the far end of a cable run from an existing closet, the switch draws its power through the PD uplink and feeds a handful of cameras or sensors from one Ethernet connection.

C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A and C9200CX-12T-2X2G-E share the same 12 data ports, two 10G SFP+ uplinks, fanless chassis and 70 Gbps of switching, and the -A suffix adds Network Advantage, the tier that enables BGP, PTP and MACsec-256. Sites that need none of those can order C9200CX-12T-2X2G-E instead, and an installed -E unit moves up later with a C9200CX-LIC= term (C9200CX-12-E-A), bought separately from the original order. Sites that must power PoE+ endpoints from the switch itself need C9200CX-8P-2XGH-E, which has a 315W internal supply with a 240W PoE budget but only eight data ports, 60 Gbps of switching and Network Essentials.

Ordering Checklist

  • Power source: No power supply is included by default, so use an upstream 802.3bt Class 6 or UPOE+ PD feed, or add C9K-80W-ADPT (AC-DC) or C9K-ADPT-DC (DC-DC) with the C9K-ADPT-BRKT-12T bracket. Without either, the switch has no way to power it.
  • Subscription tier: Select a Network Advantage subscription matching the -A suffix, such as C9200CX-DNA-A-12 (term PIDs C9200CX-DNAA12-3Y, -5Y or -7Y) or C9200CX-DNXA-12-3Y, -5Y or -7Y. The default is a 3-year Cisco DNA subscription; clear it first to switch to a Cisco Catalyst subscription.
  • Console cable: Add a USB micro-B cable, or CAB-CON-USBRJ45 to convert to RJ45. A USB micro-B console cable is not included in the box.

Questions & Answers

  • Can C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A be stacked?

    No, C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A does not support stacking. Each unit is configured and managed as an independent switch with 16 SD-Access virtual networks, so extra ports mean another switch with its own management.
  • What does Network Advantage on C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A include?

    Network Advantage on C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A enables BGP, PTP and MACsec-256, together with EIGRP, HSRP and VRF-based segmentation. The subscription must match the -A suffix, such as C9200CX-DNA-A-12 with a C9200CX-DNAA12-3Y, -5Y or -7Y term.
  • What PoE source does the PD uplink of C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A need?

    C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A needs an 802.3bt Class 6 source rated at 60W on its PD uplink. That 1G copper port also works as an uplink, so one cable carries both data and power, and 51W reaches the switch. Where no Class 6 source exists in the closet, power the switch with the 80W adapter C9K-80W-ADPT or C9K-ADPT-DC instead.
  • Which routing protocols does C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A run with Network Advantage?

    C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A runs full EIGRP and IS-IS under Network Advantage. Network Essentials stops at EIGRP Stub and OSPF Routed Access limited to 1,000 routes. A site that needs full EIGRP or IS-IS on this compact switch therefore needs the -A license tier, per the Catalyst 9200 data sheet.
  • How many VLAN IDs can C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A use?

    C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A supports 4094 VLAN IDs, per Table 8 of the Catalyst 9200 data sheet. So a segmented branch, retail or classroom design does not run out of VLAN IDs before it runs out of ports. This data-only switch reaches that limit only when many tenants or device groups share one site.
  • What input voltage do the optional adapters for C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A accept?

    The AC-DC adapter C9K-80W-ADPT for C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A accepts 100-240 VAC, and the DC-DC adapter C9K-ADPT-DC accepts 18-60 VDC. Both are rated at 80W and are optional, because the switch ships without a power supply. Order one when the cable run cannot deliver a Class 6 PD feed.
  • Which segmentation and multicast features does C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A add with Network Advantage?

    C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A adds BSR, MSDP and IP SLA, plus VRF, VXLAN, LISP and SGT segmentation, through Network Advantage. These sit on top of the Network Essentials set and come with the -A suffix, so no separate feature license is needed on the hardware. BGP, PTP and MACsec-256 are also Advantage-only on this switch.
