C1000-48T-4X-L is a managed Layer 2+ access switch with 48 10/100/1000 RJ-45 data ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. The non-PoE configuration connects locally powered endpoints, while the full-width 1U chassis and fan cooling suit rack installation rather than a silent desktop position. Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches serve small businesses and branch offices using fixed configurations without a removable uplink bay. The discontinued C1000-48P-4X-L adds PoE+ and a shared 370W endpoint-power budget to the same access-port and uplink arrangement. This data model addresses purchases where endpoint power is supplied independently and upstream connections require fiber interfaces rather than additional copper access ports.
C1000-48T-4X-L price for new stock is $1,074.15, a 75.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $4,376.00. C1000-48T-4X-L refurb price is $560.70. C1000-48T-4X-L is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity accommodates traffic across the access and uplink interfaces without an additional network module. 130.94 Mpps forwarding handles the published 64-byte packet workload, providing a packet-rate reference for small-frame traffic rather than only large transfers. Static routing supplies configured IP paths alongside Layer 2 switching; the routing capability does not make this a dynamic-routing access switch. The 512 MB DRAM supports software operation, while 256 MB flash provides local image storage. C1000-48T-4X-L maintains a 16000-entry MAC table for learned endpoint addresses. STP/RSTP/MSTP control switching loops, and LACP groups compatible links into an Ethernet channel. VLAN segmentation separates endpoint groups, while 802.1X, TACACS+, and RADIUS provide authentication controls. IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs apply traffic policies to the required interfaces. A typical 31.5 dB sound-pressure rating makes equipment placement relevant where the rack shares occupied space. Cold starts require an ambient temperature of at least 0°C.
C1000-48T-4X-L is offered new sealed and certified refurbished; specify the required condition and quantity before placing the order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, every port linking at rated speed, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply, while Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty remains subject to eligibility and ends no later than April 30, 2030. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement.

When a branch deployment uses automated provisioning, the Network Plug and Play agent requires a preconfigured PnP server managing site devices, images, configurations, and files. Prepare server-side device records and the intended configuration before hardware arrives, and include CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 where local console commissioning is part of the purchase.
When a lab prepares software and configurations before installation, the front USB-A port can store images, configurations, and diagnostic dumps. Cisco USB flash drives are supported to 8 GB; third-party drives are not supported. Identify supported removable storage and the required console-access equipment before issuing the staging PO.
When an installed C1000-48T-4X-L fleet needs replacement stock, the purchase must identify condition, quantity, and regional allocation separately from the hardware identifier. ORM supports stock and RMA handling across the UK, EU, US, and MEA. Define where spare units will be held before issuing the PO.
Switch-delivered power for connected endpoints
The copper access ports carry data only and cannot supply endpoint power. Attached phones, access points, or cameras requiring PoE must receive power independently.
Redundant internal power supplies
C1000-48T-4X-L uses one fixed internal AC supply without a second redundant PSU. Catalyst 1000 also does not support external RPS or XPS power systems.
Fanless operation near occupied desks
C1000-48T-4X-L uses fan cooling and has a typical 31.5 dB sound-pressure rating. The 48-port chassis is not a fanless switch for noise-sensitive placement.

Integrated cleanly into our core-to-access design.
C1000-48T-4X-L denotes a Catalyst 1000 data switch: C1000 identifies the family, 48 the access-port count, T the data-only ports, and 4X four 10G SFP+ uplinks. The complete -L ordering variant uses the family's single universal Cisco IOS image rather than a separately selected feature image.
C1000-48T-4X-L is managed using the on-box Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI through RJ-45 console or SSH/Telnet, and SNMP. An external USB Bluetooth dongle provides browser or SSH/Telnet access. Gigabit models also support Single IP Management. SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 require the cryptographic software image.
C1000-48T-4X-L is discontinued: Cisco sales ended April 30, 2025, and routine software maintenance ended April 30, 2026. Vulnerability support ends April 30, 2028, with eligible hardware support ending April 30, 2030. C1300-48T-4X is the replacement, separating existing-model spare purchases from migration to the newer hardware.
ORM offers C1000-48T-4X-L new sealed and certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty is subject to eligibility and ends no later than April 30, 2030.
C1000-48T-4X-L uses a single universal Cisco IOS software image with advanced Layer 2 functionality. Hardware options determine interface configuration and endpoint-power capability rather than a selection of separate Cisco IOS feature images. The complete hardware PID and required accessories identify the configuration being purchased.
C1000-48T-4X-L replaces the discontinued WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL, WS-C2960L-48TQLL++, and WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ. Those older models reached end of sale on October 31, 2021. C1000-48T-4X-L subsequently reached end of sale itself, and C1300-48T-4X is the next replacement in the lifecycle chain rather than another legacy model.
C1000-48T-4X-L has four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks without a removable uplink-module bay. The uplink interfaces are built into the chassis, while fiber connections require compatible transceivers and matching remote interfaces. Optical compatibility, reach, and fiber type determine the link components needed for each intended connection.
Yes, Catalyst 1000 Gigabit Ethernet switches support Single IP Management for eight members using front-panel uplink connections. This is administrative grouping rather than hardware data-plane stacking. C1000-48T-4X-L participates through its fixed uplinks, so the connection plan must account for management-group links alongside external uplink requirements.
Static routing is the supported routing functionality on C1000-48T-4X-L, making the configuration Layer 2+ rather than a dynamic-routing access switch. Fixed routes must match the intended IP paths. A purchase requiring dynamic route exchange is different from one needing VLAN switching with manually configured next-hop routes.
Yes, Catalyst 1000 supports 802.1X authentication, port security, IPv4/IPv6 ACLs, TACACS+, and RADIUS for access control. DHCP snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection also enforce endpoint and address policies. Authentication and filtering rules require site configuration; the hardware purchase alone does not establish the local authorization policy.
No, C1000-48T-4X-L uses one fixed internal AC power supply and does not accept a second redundant PSU. Catalyst 1000 also does not support external RPS or XPS systems. Facility power protection and spare-unit arrangements must therefore accommodate the fixed-supply architecture rather than an additional power module.
C1000-48T-4X-L has data-only access ports, whereas discontinued C1000-48P-4X-L provides PoE+ with a shared 370W budget. Both have 48 Gigabit access ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. Non-PoE spare inventories match the data model; legacy inventories powering attached endpoints match the PoE+ model. Both models are discontinued.
C1000-48T-4X-L has four 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas discontinued C1000-48T-4G-L has four 1G SFP uplinks. Both provide 48 Gigabit data ports. The 10G model matches existing installations requiring faster upstream interfaces; the 1G variant matches legacy installations retaining Gigabit upstream links. Both models have reached end of sale.
C1300-48T-4X is the replacement for discontinued C1000-48T-4X-L, retaining 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. C1000-48T-4X-L ended Cisco sales on April 30, 2025. Existing-model spare requirements identify the original hardware, while migration purchases identify C1300-48T-4X rather than another discontinued Catalyst 1000 variant.
C1000-48T-4X-L-RF is Cisco's remanufactured ordering variant of C1000-48T-4X-L, not ORM's certified-refurbished condition. The -RF suffix identifies Cisco remanufacture. ORM's refurbished units follow inspection, bench testing, firmware verification, and factory-default wiping. A PO naming the Cisco Refresh PID requests a different refurbishment origin from ORM's certified-refurbished condition.
