Cisco Catalyst C9200L-48PL-4G

The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-48PL-4G stands out for its 4 x 1G SFP uplinks rather than the 10G SFP+ ports found on other variants, making it the most cost-effective option in terms of uplink connectivity within the 48-port L series. It features 48 x 1G partial PoE+ ports, StackWise stacking at 160 Gbps and 256-bit MACsec, running IOS XE. This cost trade-off is relevant when 1G uplinks are sufficient.

The C9200L-48PL-4G is suitable for small businesses and branch offices whose uplink to the network core remains below 1G, or for secondary deployments where budget is a constraint. Partial PoE+ still enables phones and access points to be powered without external injectors. Genuine Cisco hardware, manufacturer warranty.
