-
4 Gigabit SFP Ports: 1 Gb/s fiber uplinks for flexible connectivity options
-
104 Gb/s Switching Capacity: Wire-speed, non-blocking performance with 77.38 Mpps forwarding rate
-
Layer 3 Static Routing: Advanced routing capabilities including IPv4 static routing, VLAN segmentation, and inter-VLAN communication
-
Simple Management: Cisco Business mobile app, local web interface, and Cisco Business Dashboard with step-by-step setup
-
Enhanced Security: IEEE 802.1X port security, DoS attack prevention, and extensive Access Control Lists (ACLs)
-
Energy Efficient: IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet compliant, reducing power consumption up to 58% vs previous generation
-
Quiet Operation: Single cooling fan with acoustic noise of 37.3 dBA at 25°C
-
Rack-Mountable Design: 1U form factor with included 19-inch mounting brackets
Power over Ethernet Plus
The C1200-48P-4G supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and IEEE 802.3af PoE, delivering up to 30W per port with a total power budget of 375W. This capability enables you to deploy IP telephony, wireless access points, Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) IP cameras, video phones, and thin client devices with just a single network cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies.
Network Security
The switch provides integrated network security features to reduce the risk of security breaches. IEEE 802.1X port security controls access to your network, Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack prevention increases network uptime during attacks, and extensive Access Control Lists (ACLs) protect sensitive network portions from unauthorized users and guard against network attacks.
Unified Communications & QoS
The C1200-48P-4G provides Quality of Service (QoS) features with 8 priority queues that enable you to prioritize delay-sensitive traffic in your network and converge all communications solutions, such as IP telephony and video surveillance, onto a single Ethernet network.
Management & Monitoring
Choose from multiple management options: the Cisco Business mobile app for setup and monitoring on the go, the built-in web user interface for browser-based configuration (HTTP/HTTPS), or the Cisco Business Dashboard with embedded probe support for centralized network management. Supports SNMP, RMON, Telnet, SSH-2, TFTP, SCP, and Cisco Network Plug and Play (PnP) for zero-touch deployment.
