C9200-48PB-A is a managed Layer 3 PoE+ access switch in the Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series, built around 48 fixed 10/100/1000 RJ-45 downlink ports and enhanced VRF support. The fixed Gigabit access design keeps endpoint cabling on copper while leaving uplink speed selection to the network module. The chassis uses an empty modular uplink bay rather than fixed uplink ports, accepting C9200-NM-4G, C9200-NM-4X, C9200-NM-2Y, and C9200-NM-2Q modules for SFP, SFP+, SFP28, or QSFP uplinks when ordered separately. PoE+ service is delivered across the copper access ports for powered endpoints, while the 1U rack-mount form factor fits standard wiring closets. Network Advantage places this model in the higher software tier for advanced routing and segmentation. Compared with C9200-48PL-A, which is documented as a 48-port partial PoE+ Network Advantage switch, this SKU is the full PoE+ enhanced VRF model with a 1440W maximum PoE budget.
176 Gbps switching capacity supports dense Gigabit access traffic moving from the endpoint edge toward the selected modular uplink. 130.95 Mpps forwarding rate handles 64-byte packet forwarding for the C9200-48PB performance class, with 336 Gbps switch capacity available when stacked. 1440W maximum PoE budget provides shared power allocation for IEEE 802.3at devices across the access layer, including phones, cameras, and wireless access points that draw different power levels. OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS, RIP, PIM, VRF, VXLAN, LISP, and SGT are documented under Network Advantage functions for routed access and segmentation. C9200-48PB-A also provides 4 GB DRAM, 4 GB flash, 32000 MAC address entries, 6 MB packet buffering, CLI and Web UI operation, Catalyst Center workflows, NETCONF, RESTCONF, YANG, and Plug and Play automation for repeatable provisioning. STP, RSTP, MSTP, LACP, QoS, 802.1X, and MACsec-128 support help the platform enforce access policy and maintain predictable Layer 2 behavior at the closet edge.
C9200-48PB-A fits enterprise access closets that connect IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, printers, badge systems, and workstation drops before handing traffic to distribution through the chosen uplink module. StackWise-160 groups compatible modular C9200 members with the same license level into an eight-member stack, and each chassis occupies a single rack unit in the access cabinet. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished, with refurbished units checked for boot health, PoE delivery, RJ-45 port operation, fan status, power supply status, and management access before dispatch. Certified refurbished inventory supports like-for-like replacement when existing Catalyst 9200 standards, uplink modules, and stack designs must stay consistent. Submit the SKU, required quantity, uplink module choice, stacking requirement, and destination to receive pricing for single-site refreshes, repeated closet builds, or enterprise volume rollouts with accessory matching handled alongside the switch hardware.
C9200-48PB-A price is $6,994.00. C9200-48PB-A is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

C9200-48PB-A sits in an access closet and terminates copper runs from phones, workstations, cameras, printers, and access points on 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. Engineers assign VLANs, QoS policies, 802.1X controls, and PoE budgets at the edge, then forward northbound traffic through the selected C9200 uplink module. The Network Advantage image applies routed access and segmentation policies where the design requires them. The network gains a dense powered access layer with policy enforcement at every endpoint connection.
C9200-48PB-A operates as a segmented access switch where separate user, device, and operational domains terminate on the same 48-port PoE+ platform. Network teams map access ports into VLANs, VRFs, security groups, and routed access paths supported by Network Advantage and the enhanced VRF SKU variant. The switch exchanges policy and assurance data with Cisco Catalyst Center and Cisco ISE in SD-Access aligned designs. The network gains controlled endpoint separation without adding parallel access switches for each traffic domain.
Compatible Catalyst 9200 PB switches form a StackWise-160 access block when a wiring closet needs more powered copper ports under one management plane. C9200-48PB-A contributes 48 PoE+ access ports per member, while the stack centralizes configuration, software alignment, uplink planning, and policy rollout across repeated closet builds. Engineers standardize C9200 stack kits, power supplies, uplink modules, and virtual network scale before adding members. The network gains higher access density with consistent segmentation and fewer independent switch control points.
