Cisco Catalyst C9200L-48PXG-2Y

The Cisco Catalyst C9200L-48PXG-2Y stands out clearly within the L series through its 2 x 25G SFP28 uplinks — an aggregation speed rarely offered at this product tier. With 48 x 1G PoE+ ports, it consolidates a large number of endpoints while providing 25G uplinks to the distribution layer, significantly reducing congestion compared to standard 10G uplinks. IOS XE, StackWise at 160 Gbps and 256-bit MACsec are native.

The C9200L-48PXG-2Y is the preferred choice for campus architectures seeking to relieve distribution congestion with 25G links without committing to a full 100G infrastructure. It is well suited to high-user-density buildings — universities, hospitals, corporate headquarters — where uplink bandwidth is critical. Genuine Cisco hardware, manufacturer warranty.
