C9200L-48T-4G-A Description
The C9200L-48T-4G-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9200L fixed-uplink access switch carrying Network Advantage on 48 non-PoE copper data ports, built for wiring closets that need Advantage-tier routing and segmentation but never plan to run the uplinks past 1G. All four uplink ports are fixed SFP slots limited to 1G optics only, with no 10G SFP+ path and no modular network-module bay to add one later, so the uplink media ceiling is set permanently at the factory rather than left open for a future speed change. A single default PWR-C5-125WAC supply runs the switch, and because the hardware carries no PoE budget at all, a second identical supply only protects against a unit failure rather than adding power headroom. Standalone switching capacity is 104 Gbps, rising to 184 Gbps once the switch joins a StackWise-80 ring of up to eight C9200L members operating as one virtual switch, and the Network Advantage tier here layers EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, and VRF-lite, VXLAN, and LISP segmentation over the same Network Essentials base that ships on the identical C9200L-48T-4G-E hardware.

Product Performance
Key Features
Network Advantage adds EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, and VRF-lite, VXLAN, and LISP segmentation over the Network Essentials base, so a 48-port closet whose uplinks never leave 1G can still enforce routing and tenant boundaries locally instead of pushing every decision to a distribution switch.
The four fixed SFP uplinks accept 1G optics only, with no 10G SFP+ path and no modular bay to add one, so this hardware suits a closet where the uplink speed requirement is already confirmed to stay at 1G for the life of the switch.
Up to eight C9200L-48T-4G switches join an 80 Gbps StackWise-80 ring that behaves as a single virtual switch with sub-50ms stateful failover, letting a growing 48-port closet scale under one management plane without stepping up to the C9200 modular-uplink line.
Because this model carries no PoE budget, a second PWR-C5-125WAC only buys power-supply redundancy against a single unit failing; it does not raise any power ceiling the way it would on a PoE+ variant.
The switch runs CLI/Web UI on the base Network Stack tier and adds Catalyst Center or Meraki dashboard management once a Cisco Catalyst or Cisco DNA subscription is attached, independent of the fixed 1G-only uplink hardware.
Both chassis fans are fixed rather than field-replaceable, so unlike the swappable fan trays on the modular C9200 line, a fan failure here has to be handled as a chassis-level RMA; the power supply remains the only component in the two FRU bays that can be swapped on site.
Application Scenarios
Deployed where a wiring closet already runs a 1G-only distribution backbone and needs 48 non-powered copper ports with Advantage-tier routing or VRF-lite segmentation, so the fixed 1G uplink ceiling matches the existing uplink speed rather than leaving capacity unused.
Added as a member in an existing StackWise-80 ring of C9200L-48T-4G switches to grow non-powered port count across a floor or wing without introducing a mixed-uplink-speed switch into the same stack.
Installed where local VRF-lite or VXLAN segmentation is required at the access layer itself, decoupling that routing decision from any plan to raise the uplink speed later.

- Stepping down to C9200L-24T-4G-A halves the access port count to 24 and drops standalone switching capacity from 104 Gbps to 56 Gbps while keeping the identical fixed 1G-only uplink ceiling and Network Advantage tier, a fit only once the non-powered port count for the closet is confirmed to stay near 24 rather than 48.
- Moving to C9200L-48T-4X-A keeps the same 48 ports, default power supply, and Network Advantage tier but replaces the 1G-only uplink ceiling with 4×1/10G fixed uplinks, lifting standalone switching capacity from 104 Gbps to 176 Gbps; that step only matters once the uplink backbone is expected to run at 10G, since both switches share the identical PoE-less port layout otherwise.
- C9200L-48P-4G-A keeps the same 48-port count, 1G-only uplink ceiling, switching capacity, and forwarding rate but swaps the 125W supply for a PWR-C5-1KWAC that unlocks a 740W PoE budget (1440W with a second supply); that step only pays off once the ports are confirmed to power phones, cameras, or access points, since C9200L-48T-4G-A carries no PoE budget to fall back on.
- For deciding which SKU to order, settle the PoE requirement first, since only C9200L-48P-4G-A adds a power budget in this group; then size the port count against C9200L-24T-4G-A; and last confirm the uplink backbone speed, since a 10G requirement is the one dimension that routes the order to C9200L-48T-4X-A instead of this 1G-only hardware.
Selection Guide
1. Fixed 1G Uplinks Save Cost Until The Backbone Grows
C9200L-48T-4G-A fixes its four uplink ports at 1G optics only with no modular bay to add 10G later; once a design confirms the closet’s uplink backbone will stay at 1G for the switch’s service life, this hardware avoids paying for uplink headroom it will not use, but any later 10G backbone plan forces a full swap to C9200L-48T-4X-A rather than a module change.
2. Essentials Tier Covers Routing Without Segmentation
Network Advantage on this hardware pairs with a 48-port Advantage-tier subscription such as C9200L-DNA-A-48 or C9200L-DNX-A-48-3Y/5Y/7Y; when the closet’s routing need stops at the Layer 2, static routing, and Routed Access base already present at Network Essentials, the identical hardware ordered as C9200L-48T-4G-E covers that role at the lower license cost, since Cisco publishes no in-place upgrade PID between the two tiers.
3. Powered Endpoint Requirement Routes To The PoE+ Chassis
When even a portion of the 48 downlink ports is expected to power an IP phone, camera, or access point, C9200L-48P-4G-A carries the identical fixed 1G-only uplink ceiling and switching capacity on a PWR-C5-1KWAC supply that adds a 740W PoE budget; staying on C9200L-48T-4G-A only holds while every downlink is confirmed to terminate non-powered equipment.
4. Twenty-Four-Port Sibling Below Half The Closet Load
Once the non-powered access footprint for a closet is confirmed to run near or under 24 ports rather than the full 48, C9200L-24T-4G-A carries the identical fixed 1G-only uplink layout and Network Advantage tier at a lower standalone switching capacity; staying on C9200L-48T-4G-A only makes sense once the port count is expected to fill closer to the 48-port ceiling.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact license suffix |
C9200L-48T-4G-A carries Network Advantage; the -E suffix on identical hardware carries Network Essentials |
The perpetual Network Stack tier is fixed by the hardware PID and cannot be license-upgraded in place |
|
Uplink speed ceiling |
The 4 fixed uplink ports accept 1G SFP optics only, with no 10G SFP+ path |
Ordering this SKU for a 10G backbone plan requires a full hardware swap to C9200L-48T-4X-A, not a module change |
|
Matching subscription tier |
An Advantage-tier term subscription from the 48-port group, such as C9200L-DNA-A-48 or C9200L-DNX-A-48-3Y/5Y/7Y |
Every Catalyst 9200L order requires a matching-tier Cisco DNA or Cisco Catalyst subscription under a mandatory Smart Account |
|
Stack kit inclusion |
C9200L-STACK-KIT plus stack members at the same license level |
The kit is not included by default, and StackWise-80 members must share the license tier and cannot mix with C9200 modular-uplink switches |
|
Second power supply |
Whether a second PWR-C5-125WAC is needed for redundancy |
This model has no PoE budget, so a second supply only protects against a single-unit failure and does not raise any power ceiling |
|
Uplink optics compatibility |
The 1G SFP optics selected for the fixed uplinks are on the Cisco TMG Compatibility Matrix for this platform |
An unlisted optic may be rejected by the fixed uplink port even if the form factor fits |
|
Power cord selection |
A country-specific CAB-TA cord rated for the 125W supply class (10A) |
An under-rated or wrong-plug cord blocks power-up at installation |
|
Software baseline |
Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.2 or later |
16.9.2 is the platform introductory release for C9200L hardware, and earlier releases cannot run it |
