C9200CX-8PT-2G-E Description
The C9200CX-8PT-2G-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9200CX compact switch for remote campus points that have network cabling but no power outlet. The switch has eight 1G PoE+ ports, two 1G copper uplinks that accept 802.3bt UPOE+ and a PoE budget of 180W with the 80W external adapter or 240W with the 150W adapter, all in a fanless 6.5-inch chassis. The chassis has no internal supply or stacking support, and Network Essentials leaves basic BGP and AES-256 MACsec to Network Advantage.

Product Performance
Key Features
Both 1G copper uplinks accept 802.3bt UPOE+ from an upstream switch, and the switch combines that feed with an external 80W or 150W adapter. The uplink run carries data and most of the power, so no circuit needs to reach the install point.
The 80W adapter gives a 180W PoE budget and the 150W adapter raises it to 240W. Eight ports at 30W each add up to exactly 240W, so only the larger adapter covers PoE+ on every port at once.
Every other Catalyst 9200CX model carries a 315W internal supply. This one relies on the adapter, which supports LVDC input, and that keeps the chassis small.
The chassis is 3.1 inches shallower than the 9.6-inch Catalyst 9200CX models and has no fan. It fits furniture cavities and shallow wall boxes where a deeper or noisier switch would not.
Ten 1G ports at full duplex add up to the 20 Gbps switching capacity, and 14.88 Mpps matches ten ports at 1.488 Mpps each. The switch does not oversubscribe its uplinks.
Network Essentials covers static routing, RIP, EIGRP stub, OSPF up to 1,000 routes and MACsec-128, plus Perpetual PoE and Fast PoE for endpoint uptime. AES-256 MACsec and basic BGP need Network Advantage.
Application Scenarios
At a campus location where structured cabling arrives but no power circuit does, the switch takes UPOE+ from an upstream switch over its 1G uplinks and feeds the endpoints plugged into its eight PoE+ ports.
Above ceiling tiles or inside millwork and wall panels, the 6.5-inch fanless chassis fits shallow cavities and stays silent beside occupied space.
A cluster of IP cameras and wireless access points at one edge of a campus draws up to 240W from the switch, and Perpetual PoE keeps them powered while the switch reloads.

C9200CX-8PT-2G-E has no internal supply and takes 802.3bt UPOE+ over its two 1G uplinks plus an external adapter, while C9200CX-8P-2X2G-E and C9200CX-8P-2XGH-E each carry a 315W internal supply, so only C9200CX-8PT-2G-E suits an install point that has cabling but no power circuit. Its PoE budget is 180W with C9K-80W-ADPT and reaches 240W, the figure of the other two, only with C9K-150W-ADPT. Uplinks above 1G or switching beyond 20 Gbps call for C9200CX-8P-2X2G-E, with 2x 10G SFP+ and 60 Gbps, and a high-voltage DC feed calls for C9200CX-8P-2XGH-E. Basic BGP is a Network Advantage feature, so it needs C9200CX-8PT-2G-A or a C9200CX-LIC= upgrade term.

PoE budget with C9K-80W-ADPT |
180W with 802.3bt UPOE+ uplinks |
|
PoE budget with C9K-150W-ADPT |

|
Power supply expansion |
Not applicable; the chassis has no internal supply and no second supply slot, so the adapter tier is the only lever |
|
Upstream power source check |
Confirm the upstream switch port can deliver 802.3bt UPOE+, since the uplink is the power feed as well as the data path |
|
Device count check |
Confirm total endpoint draw across all 8 PoE+ ports against 180W or 240W depending on which adapter is ordered |
|
Adapter mounting check |
Confirm C9K-ADPT-BRKT-8PT is on the order when the adapter has to be secured next to the switch |
Ordering Checklist
- Subscription: Select a Network Essentials 8-port term: Cisco DNA (C9200CX-DNA-E-8, terms C9200CX-DNAE8-3Y, -5Y or -7Y) or Cisco Catalyst (C9200CX-DNXE-8-3Y, -5Y or -7Y). The subscription must match the -E hardware tier, and the order defaults to a 3-year Cisco DNA term.
- External power adapter: Add C9K-80W-ADPT for the 180W PoE budget or C9K-150W-ADPT for 240W. The chassis has no internal supply, so the order needs an adapter.
- Adapter bracket: Add C9K-ADPT-BRKT-8PT, the adapter bracket made for C9200CX-8PT-2G-E. The bracket is a separate PID and is not included with the adapter.
- Mounting accessory: Choose one of C9K-MGNT-TRAY, C9K-WALL-TRAY, C9K-CMPCT-DIN-MNT or RACKMNT-19-CMPACT. The compact chassis needs a separate accessory for the chosen mounting method.
- Power cord: Order a CAB-TA-* cord for the destination country, such as CAB-TA-NA= or CAB-TA-UK=. The C9K-150W-ADPT adapter takes an IEC 320-C14 AC cord that is ordered separately.
