C9200L-48T-4X-A Description
The C9200L-48T-4X-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9200L fixed-uplink stackable access switch built around 48 non-PoE copper data ports and the Network Advantage license tier, aimed at closets and equipment rooms where the connected gear draws no PoE power but the design still needs Advantage-tier routing and segmentation local to the access layer. Four fixed uplink ports run at 1G or 10G over SFP/SFP+ optics without a modular network-module bay, so the uplink media is locked in at the factory rather than decided later through a slot. A single default PWR-C5-125WAC supply covers the switch, and a second identical supply can be added purely for power redundancy since this model carries no PoE budget to expand. Switching capacity reaches 176 Gbps standalone and rises to 256 Gbps once the switch joins a StackWise-80 stack of up to eight C9200L members forming one virtual switch, and Network Advantage on this hardware layers EIGRP, HSRP, IS-IS, and VRF-lite, VXLAN, and LISP segmentation over the Layer 2 and Routed Access base that Network Essentials already covers on the identical C9200L-48T-4X-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 that only terminates data endpoints can still enforce routing and tenant boundaries locally rather than pushing every decision to a distribution switch.
The 4X model places four 1/10G SFP/SFP+ uplinks directly on the chassis rather than in a modular bay, so the uplink decision is locked in at order time and does not depend on a separate network-module line item.
Up to eight C9200L-48T-4X switches join an 80 Gbps StackWise-80 ring that behaves as a single virtual switch with sub-50ms stateful failover, keeping a growing 48-port closet 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 4x10G uplink hardware.
Every unit carries a passive RFID tag for barcode-free asset scans and a beacon LED visible from both ends of the chassis to flag a specific stack member, cutting down on manual serial-number checks during an inventory audit or a rack visit in a dense 48-port closet.
Application Scenarios
Deployed where 48 copper ports terminate desktops, printers, or other equipment that draws no PoE, while the Network Advantage tier still enforces VRF-lite or VXLAN segmentation at the access layer instead of relying entirely on an upstream distribution switch.
Installed where the uplink media is already settled on 10G SFP+ and does not need to change later, so the fixed 4x10G uplink ports replace a modular network-module decision entirely.
Added as an additional member in an existing StackWise-80 ring of C9200L-48T-4X switches to extend non-powered port count across a floor or wing under a single management plane.

- Stepping down to C9200L-24T-4X-A halves the access port count to 24 and drops standalone switching capacity from 176 Gbps to 128 Gbps while keeping the identical fixed 4x10G uplink layout 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.
- C9200L-48P-4X-A keeps the same 48-port count, uplink layout, 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-4X-A carries no PoE budget to fall back on.
- Moving to C9200-48T-A trades the fixed 4x10G uplinks for a modular network-module bay (C9200-NM-4G or C9200-NM-4X) and lifts stacking from StackWise-80 to StackWise-160, raising stacked switching capacity from 256 Gbps to 336 Gbps; that flexibility only matters when the uplink media might change after the order or the stack needs to grow past the 80 Gbps ring, since both models share the same 176 Gbps standalone capacity and Network Advantage tier.
- For deciding which SKU to order, settle the PoE requirement first, since only C9200L-48P-4X-A adds a power budget in this group; then size the port count against C9200L-24T-4X-A; and last decide whether the uplink media needs to stay open-ended after the order, which is the line separating the fixed-uplink C9200L-48T-4X-A from the modular-bay C9200-48T-A at the same 48-port, non-PoE scale.
Selection Guide
1. Advantage Premium Needs A Segmentation Use Case
Network Advantage on the C9200L-48T-4X-A pairs with a 48-port Advantage-tier subscription such as C9200L-DNA-A-48 or C9200L-DNX-A-48-3Y/5Y/7Y; identical hardware ordered as C9200L-48T-4X-E carries Network Essentials instead, and since Cisco publishes no in-place upgrade PID between the two tiers, a design that only needs the Essentials-tier Layer 2 and Routed Access base can take the C9200L-48T-4X-E at the lower license cost rather than paying for Advantage segmentation features it will not use.
2. Powered Endpoint Requirement Routes To C9200L-48P-4X-A
When even a portion of the 48 downlink ports is expected to power an IP phone, camera, or access point, C9200L-48P-4X-A carries the identical fixed 4x10G uplink layout and switching capacity on a PWR-C5-1KWAC supply that adds a 740W PoE budget; staying on C9200L-48T-4X-A only holds while every downlink is confirmed to terminate non-powered equipment, since this hardware has no PoE budget to fall back on later.
3. Uplink Flexibility Trade Against The Modular C9200-48T-A
C9200-48T-A delivers the same 48 non-powered ports and the same 176 Gbps standalone switching capacity but places the uplink in a modular network-module bay instead of fixing it at 4x10G, and it steps stacking up to StackWise-160; taking the fixed-uplink C9200L-48T-4X-A gives up that later uplink-media flexibility and the larger stack ring in exchange for a simpler single-PID order once the 10G uplink choice is already settled.
4. Port Count Step Down To The 24-Port Sibling
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-4X-A carries the identical fixed 4x10G uplink layout and Network Advantage tier at a lower standalone switching capacity; staying on C9200L-48T-4X-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-4X-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 |
|
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 SFP or SFP+ optics selected for the fixed 1/10G 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 |
