C1200-48P-4X is a 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch with four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, managed Layer 2+ forwarding and a 1U rack-mount chassis. The Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series serves small and medium-sized businesses connecting office workstations, IP phones, wireless access points and surveillance cameras. Endpoint power is delivered over the copper access connections, while the fiber uplink cages connect the access switch to higher-speed aggregation equipment. Voice VLAN and Auto Surveillance VLAN separate endpoint traffic, and quality-of-service controls prioritize traffic according to configured policies. Compared with C1200-48T-4X, which has non-PoE access ports, this configuration adds network power for connected endpoints. Port security restricts learned source addresses at individual connections, while access control lists apply forwarding restrictions to selected traffic.
C1200-48P-4X price for new stock is $987.00, a 44.3% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,772.39. C1200-48P-4X refurb price is $724.50. C1200-48P-4X is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity accommodates the copper access interfaces and uplinks without a blocking switch fabric. 130.94 Mpps forwarding at a 64-byte packet size provides the packet-processing figure for traffic sizing. 375W of shared PoE capacity requires endpoint allocations to remain within the total available power. Static routing handles local IPv4 forwarding with 32 routes and 16 IP interfaces. C1200-48P-4X carries 1 GB of DRAM and 512 MB of flash for its embedded software and saved configuration. The 3 MB packet buffer is shared dynamically across ports rather than reserved equally for each connection. An 8000-entry MAC table sets the learned-address limit, and STP, RSTP and MSTP support loop prevention. Administrators can use the web interface, a scriptable CLI, Cisco Business Dashboard or the Cisco Business mobile app; SNMPv3 supports external monitoring. One cooling fan makes airflow planning relevant to the equipment location.
Specify quantity and condition on the PO for C1200-48P-4X, offered by ORM Systems as new sealed or certified refurbished. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM's warranty is up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; 30-day returns cover every condition, terms apply, separately from Cisco's limited lifetime return-to-factory hardware warranty. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with UK, EU, US and MEA stock and RMA coverage.

When replacing discontinued CBS250-48P-4X-NA hardware, C1200-48P-4X is the named replacement. The predecessor reached end of sale on October 29, 2024. Treat the refresh as a configuration migration, and capture existing VLAN assignments, addressing, endpoint requirements and management settings before specifying the replacement quantity and accessories on the PO.
For repeat branch rollouts, C1200-48P-4X supports Cisco Network Plug and Play with Cisco PnP Connect. Text-editable configuration files allow a common configuration to be adapted for individual locations. Set the provisioning method, site-specific addressing and configuration ownership before putting each branch quantity on the PO.
When a staging bench needs local access before network management is configured, CAB-CONSOLE-USB-C= and CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 provide supported console cable choices. RJ-45 console and USB Type C console connections are available. Specify CAB-CONSOLE-USB-C= or CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 to match the staging workstation before completing the accessories section of the PO.
Endpoints needing more than 30W
C1200-48P-4X limits PoE+ delivery to 30W per port. Endpoints requiring higher per-port allocations fall outside that limit, regardless of unused power elsewhere.
More than 32 static routes
C1200-48P-4X supports 32 IPv4 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. A routing design exceeding either limit requires equipment with a larger routing configuration capacity.
Multigigabit copper endpoint connections
C1200-48P-4X provides Gigabit Ethernet on its copper access ports. Faster SFP+ uplinks serve aggregation links rather than increasing the copper endpoint connection speed.

C1200-48P-4X identifies a Catalyst 1200 switch: C1200 denotes the series, 48 denotes the copper access-port count, P identifies PoE+ access ports, and 4X identifies four 10G SFP+ uplinks. The complete PID has no separate license-tier suffix. Its powered-port configuration includes a shared 375W endpoint power budget.
Catalyst 1200 switches are managed through an HTTP/HTTPS web interface, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 or USB Type C console, Cisco Business Dashboard and the Cisco Business mobile app. SNMP versions 1, 2c and 3 support monitoring. Optional Bluetooth management access requires an external dongle.
C1200-48P-4X requires no separately purchased switch software license or subscription, and software updates are available at no additional cost. The same switch software requirement applies to ORM certified refurbished orders. There are no switch license tiers or minimum subscription terms to add to the hardware purchase.
C1200-48P-4X supports PoE+ on 48 access ports with a shared 375W budget and a 30W per-port maximum. The budget cannot cover 30W simultaneously on every port. List each endpoint's required allocation and total the concurrent demand before selecting the powered-port configuration.
C1200-48P-4X has four fixed SFP+ uplinks supporting 10G or 1G operation. SFP-10G-SR supports multimode fiber, SFP-10G-LR supports single-mode fiber, and SFP-H10GB-CU3M supports a 3 m copper coax connection. Order the selected uplink media separately and match the peer interface, fiber type and cable length.
C1200-48P-4X supports IPv4 static routing with 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. Local routing can connect VLANs or other configured IP interfaces. Check both limits against the proposed addressing and inter-VLAN routing design before ordering, rather than sizing the routing requirement from Ethernet port count alone.
C1200-48P-4X has a worst-case power draw of 462.84W at 110V with PoE load; the corresponding 220V figure is 449.48W. The internal supply accepts 100-240V AC. Size the circuit and any upstream backup power equipment for loaded consumption, not just the endpoint power budget.
C1200-48P-4X is a 1U rack-mount switch measuring 445 mm wide, 350 mm deep and 44 mm high, with a weight of 5.43 kg. RCKMNT-1RU-1K= is the compatible rack-mount kit. Specify RCKMNT-1RU-1K= separately if replacement mounting hardware is needed, and allow space for cabling behind the chassis.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 1200. C1200-48P-4X remains an available model in the series. End-of-sale dates for discontinued CBS250 predecessors belong to those older switches and do not establish a discontinuation milestone for the replacement hardware.
C1200-48P-4X replaces discontinued CBS250-48P-4X-AR, CBS250-48P-4X-AU, CBS250-48P-4X-BR, CBS250-48P-4X-EU, CBS250-48P-4X-JP, CBS250-48P-4X-NA, CBS250-48P-4X-SP, CBS250-48P-4X-TW and CBS250-48P-4X-UK, whose end-of-sale date was October 29, 2024, plus discontinued CBS250-48P-4X-IN, whose end-of-sale date was January 31, 2025. Match the complete regional PID when planning replacement orders; those predecessor milestones are not discontinuation dates for Catalyst 1200.
C1200-48P-4X supplies PoE+ on its copper access ports, while C1200-48T-4X has non-PoE access ports. Both configurations retain 48 Gigabit copper connections and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. The powered model suits endpoints drawing network power; C1200-48T-4X suits separately powered endpoints without a PoE requirement.
C1200-48P-4X has four 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas C1200-48P-4G has four 1G SFP uplinks. Both models provide 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports with a 375W budget. Specify C1200-48P-4X for 10G aggregation links or C1200-48P-4G when the uplink requirement is Gigabit Ethernet.
C1200-48P-4X provides 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, while C1200-24FP-4X provides 24. Both retain four 10G SFP+ uplinks and a 375W PoE budget. Choose C1200-48P-4X for higher endpoint connection counts; C1200-24FP-4X suits fewer connections sharing the same total endpoint power allocation.
ORM Systems offers C1200-48P-4X new sealed and certified refurbished, separately from Cisco's limited lifetime hardware warranty with return-to-factory replacement. ORM's new warranty is up to 3-year extended; certified refurbished coverage is up to 1 year. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply.
