With 48 full-speed PoE+ gigabit RJ-45 ports and 4 fixed 1 Gb uplink ports, this model includes the Network Essentials licensing tier and is ideal for powering and connecting large numbers of endpoint devices—such as access points, VoIP phones, security cameras—while providing robust uplink capacity and enterprise-grade management.

Product Features

48 × Gigabit PoE+ Access Ports

Provides 48 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports supporting full PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) power delivery to connected devices, simplifying cabling and infrastructure by combining power and data.

4 × 1 Gb Fixed Uplink Ports

Equipped with 4 dedicated 1 Gb uplink ports (SFP or fixed) for backbone or aggregation links, enabling flexible connectivity to core switches or network aggregation layers.

Network Essentials Software Tier

Includes the “Network Essentials” licensing package, which provides advanced Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 features suitable for most enterprise access networks—without the full advanced routing features of higher tiers.

Enterprise-Grade Switching Architecture

This switch is part of the Catalyst 9200 series, built on Cisco’s intent-based networking architecture. It supports high resiliency, programmability (via Cisco IOS XE), robust security features (MACsec, trust anchor, segmentation), and stacking capability for future growth.

Compact Rack-Mount Form-Factor & Efficient Operation

Designed for 1U rack deployment with industry-standard dimensions; includes features like energy-efficient Ethernet, redundant power/fan infrastructure (in many models), and enterprise-grade environment suitability.
