C1000FE-48P-4G-L provides managed Layer 2 access through 48 Fast Ethernet PoE+ ports, with fixed Gigabit uplinks in a Rack-Mount 1U chassis. Two uplinks are dedicated SFP interfaces; two are SFP/RJ-45 combo interfaces with shared copper and fiber connections. Catalyst 1000 serves small-business and branch-office networks, but this configuration keeps endpoint connections at 10/100 Mbps rather than Gigabit Ethernet. Its LAN Lite-equivalent functionality also distinguishes the Fast Ethernet models from the broader capabilities of Gigabit versions. The discontinued C1000FE-48T-4G-L provides the same access-port density without endpoint power. For an existing-estate purchase, match endpoint link speeds, uplink media and configuration requirements before selecting quantities. Treat powered-device requirements separately from physical port availability: a populated switch does not automatically provide maximum power to every connected endpoint.
C1000FE-48P-4G-L price for new stock is $1,179.15, a 57.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $2,797.00. C1000FE-48P-4G-L refurb price is $315.00. C1000FE-48P-4G-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

17.6 Gbps switching capacity and 13.09 Mpps forwarding rate define the Fast Ethernet hardware's forwarding limits; do not substitute the Gigabit versions' figures when sizing traffic. 16000 MAC entries bound address learning, while 256 active VLANs and 4094 VLAN IDs distinguish operational scale from the available numbering space. C1000FE-48P-4G-L carries 512 MB DRAM and 256 MB flash for its local software and configuration environment. STP/RSTP/MSTP and LACP provide Layer 2 loop-control and link-aggregation mechanisms. The single fixed power supply has no second internal supply option, so external power arrangements and spare-unit quantities require separate purchasing decisions. Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches run Cisco IOS, but Fast Ethernet models do not support the Gigabit models' Single IP Management. Establish management addressing and monitoring requirements for each unit rather than specifying these switches as single-IP stack members.
Specify C1000FE-48P-4G-L as new sealed or certified refurbished, with quantity and required uplink accessories identified on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed links on every port, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns with terms applying. ORM accepts POs and volume requirements, offers Net-30 for government, and provides RMA with advance replacement.

An installed base of WS-C2960+48PST-S, WS-C2960+48PST-S++ or WS-C2960R+48PST-S creates a replacement-and-sparing requirement. Those models reached end of sale on October 31, 2021. Match the existing endpoint power requirements, uplink media and saved configuration before specifying replacement quantities on the purchase order.
An isolated staging bench needs a local configuration path before production addressing is available. CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 provides the console cable connection for initial access. Include CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 with the staging order, and define administrator access, management addressing and configuration handover requirements before allocating units to individual sites.
A regional spares purchase spanning the UK, EU, US and MEA needs the delivery and RMA region fixed for each line item. ORM supports regional stock and RMA across those areas. Separate deployment quantities from reserve units, and specify condition and ship-to location before issuing the purchase order.
Gigabit Ethernet endpoint connections
Access ports are limited to 10/100 Mbps. Gigabit uplinks do not increase endpoint connection speeds, so a requirement for 1GbE access exceeds this model's fixed hardware capability.
10G fiber uplinks
The four built-in uplinks operate at 1Gbps, with no removable uplink-card bay. A requirement for 10G distribution connections exceeds the fixed uplink configuration.
Single-IP multi-switch management
Fast Ethernet Catalyst 1000 models do not support Single IP Management, which is restricted to Gigabit models. Specify individual management addresses rather than a shared stack address.

C1000FE-48P-4G-L identifies a Catalyst 1000 Fast Ethernet switch: C1000FE identifies the family and access-speed class, 48 is the access-port count, P identifies powered ports, and 4G identifies four Gigabit uplinks. The model carries LAN Lite-equivalent functionality; two uplinks are dedicated SFP connections and two are combo connections.
Catalyst 1000 Fast Ethernet switches support Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, console CLI, SSH or Telnet access, and SNMP management. An external USB Bluetooth dongle also enables browser or CLI access over Bluetooth. Specify the intended administrator access method and any required console accessories before deployment.
C1000FE-48P-4G-L reached end of sale on April 30, 2025, and has no named replacement product. Routine software maintenance ended April 30, 2026; vulnerability and security support ends April 30, 2028. The last date of eligible Cisco support is April 30, 2030, so purchasing plans must distinguish remaining support from ongoing software maintenance.
ORM offers C1000FE-48P-4G-L new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's enhanced limited lifetime warranty has original-end-user terms, and eligible Cisco service ends April 30, 2030. ORM's order warranty remains separate from Cisco coverage.
C1000FE-48P-4G-L replaces WS-C2960+48PST-S, WS-C2960+48PST-S++ and WS-C2960R+48PST-S, which reached end of sale on October 31, 2021. Use those exact identifiers when preparing a replacement or spares purchase. Match the existing configuration and physical uplink connections rather than assuming every older unit transfers without configuration review.
C1000FE-48P-4G-L provides a shared 370W PoE budget, with PoE+ support for 30W per powered port. The budget does not support every powered port drawing its maximum simultaneously. Total the actual endpoint requirements, including planned additions, before specifying the powered-device allocation and switch quantity on the purchase order.
Catalyst 1000 Fast Ethernet models provide four 1G uplinks: two dedicated SFP interfaces and two SFP/RJ-45 combo interfaces. Copper and fiber on a combo interface share one connection rather than adding independent links. Specify uplink media, peer compatibility and the required transceivers or copper cabling before ordering.
C1000FE-48P-4G-L supplies endpoint power, whereas C1000FE-48T-4G-L has non-PoE access ports. Both models are discontinued. The powered model suits existing estates requiring switch-delivered endpoint power; the non-PoE model suits independently powered endpoints. Match the powered-device requirement rather than treating the two part numbers as interchangeable spares.
C1000FE-48P-4G-L has 48 access ports, whereas C1000FE-24P-4G-L has 24 access ports. Both models are discontinued. The higher-density model suits an existing estate needing more endpoint connections per unit; the smaller model suits fewer connections. Count installed and reserved endpoints before selecting a replacement quantity.
C1000FE-48P-4G-L has four 1G uplinks, whereas C1000-48P-4X-L has four 10G SFP+ uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The Fast Ethernet model suits existing 1G-uplink replacement requirements; the 4X model suits an installed estate requiring 10G uplink connections. Confirm distribution-side interfaces before treating either model as a spare.
