C9200L-48T-4X-E vs C9200L-48P-4X-E

A key difference between Cisco C9200L-48T-4X-E and C9200L-48P-4X-E is PoE Support: C9200L-48T-4X-E — Not supported; C9200L-48P-4X-E — PoE/PoE+. They also differ in PoE Standard (Not applicable vs IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at) and Default PoE Budget (Not applicable vs 740 W). If the switch must power phones, cameras or access points, review the C9200L-48P-4X-E; the listed value for the C9200L-48T-4X-E 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.

Buying decision

How to choose between C9200L-48T-4X-E and C9200L-48P-4X-E

Review the differences in this order to identify the model that best fits the intended deployment.

  1. 01

    Ports and uplinks

    Match access media, port count and speed first, then confirm that the uplink design fits the distribution layer.

  2. 02

    PoE and power

    Total the power required by connected devices and verify the PoE standard, budget, power supplies and redundancy.

  3. 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.
