Cisco C9200-48T-E Catalyst 9200 48-Port Data-Only Switch High-Performance Modular Layer 3 Access for Enterprise Data Networks The Cisco Catalyst C9200-48T-E is a modular, enterprise-grade access layer switch built for secure, scalable, and high-performance wired networks. Featuring 48 Gigabit Ethernet data-only ports, this switch is ideal for environments where PoE is not required - such as offices, campuses, and branch networks connecting desktops, printers, and servers. Powered by Cisco Network Essentials software, the C9200-48T-E delivers foundational Layer 3 routing, including OSPF, EIGRP-Stub, RIP, and static routing, while maintaining strong security with AES-128 MACsec encryption, Secure Boot, and Trust Anchor technology. Its modular uplink architecture allows seamless upgrades to 1G, 10G, 25G, or 40G, ensuring long-term investment protection. With StackWise-160, up to eight switches can operate as a single logical unit, providing 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth, simplified management, and high availability. Dual redundant, field-replaceable power supplies and modular fans further enhance resiliency, making the Cisco Catalyst C9200-48T-E a reliable choice for modern enterprise access networks and Cisco SD-Access–ready deployments.

Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)? No. The "T" in C9200-48T-E stands for "Data-Only." If you need to power devices like IP phones or access points, you would need the C9200-48P (PoE+) model. Q2. What is the advantage of this model over the C9200L-48T-4G-E? The C9200 (this model) features modular uplinks and a higher stacking bandwidth of 160 Gbps. The C9200L features fixed (built-in) uplinks and is limited to 80 Gbps stacking. Q3. Are the uplink modules included with the switch? No, the network modules are sold separately. You can choose a module like the C9200-NM-4X (4x10G) based on your specific uplink requirements. Q4. Can I upgrade the software to "Network Advantage"? Yes. You can purchase a license upgrade to move from Network Essentials to Network Advantage if you require advanced features like full BGP, IS-IS routing, or VRF-lite. Q5. Can this switch be used in a Cisco SD-Access environment? Yes. The Catalyst 9200 series is an entry-level platform for Cisco’s Software-Defined Access, providing policy-based automation from the edge to the cloud.
