C9200-24T-A vs C9200-24P-A
A key difference between Cisco C9200-24T-A and C9200-24P-A is PoE Support: C9200-24T-A — Not supported; C9200-24P-A — PoE/PoE+. They also differ in PoE Standard (Not applicable vs IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at) and Default PoE Budget (Not applicable vs 370 W). If the switch must power phones, cameras or access points, review the C9200-24P-A; the listed value for the C9200-24T-A does not provide that PoE capability. The table below shows 68 specifications available for both models. Confirm licenses, accessories, power supplies and regional suffixes before ordering.

How to choose between C9200-24T-A and C9200-24P-A
Review the differences in this order to identify the model that best fits the intended deployment.
-
01
Ports and uplinks
Match access media, port count and speed first, then confirm that the uplink design fits the distribution layer.
-
02
PoE and power
Total the power required by connected devices and verify the PoE standard, budget, power supplies and redundancy.
-
03
Performance and software
Compare forwarding, stacking and scale in the intended topology, then confirm the license tier and software release.
Before ordering
Confirm the exact Product ID, license tier, power supplies, accessories and regional requirements.
