The Cisco Catalyst C1200-48T-4X 48-Port Gigabit Managed Network Switch is designed for reliable wired access-layer connectivity in expanding enterprise, branch and small business LANs. In addition to enabling high-speed connections to core switches, servers, or network storage, it combines four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks with 48 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 data ports to give network teams the port density required for users, printers, workstations, IP phones and other non-PoE endpoints. The C1200-48T-4X, a rack-mountable Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series switch, offers controlled switching features for security policy enforcement, traffic segmentation, performance prioritizing and simplified network administration. Deployments where linked devices have local power or where PoE is provided by independent switching infrastructure are ideal for its non-PoE design.
