CBS250-48P-4G-EU combines 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports with four fixed Gigabit SFP uplinks in a rack-mount chassis. This Smart Managed, Layer 2+ switch belongs to the Business 250 series and connects computers, IP phones, wireless access points and surveillance devices on small-business networks. Copper access and dedicated fiber uplinks provide separate connections for endpoints and upstream equipment without requiring an uplink expansion card. Within the same discontinued family, CBS250-48PP-4G-EU offers a smaller 195W endpoint-power allocation. Cisco Business management includes local configuration and centralized administration, while the EU ordering suffix identifies a regional version rather than a software license tier. The fixed uplink architecture makes upstream link speed an important selection boundary.

104 Gbps switching capacity and 77.38 Mpps forwarding support wire-speed traffic across the installed interfaces. 370W of shared PoE power must cover the combined demand of connected powered devices; the per-port ceiling does not represent simultaneous power availability across every port. Static routing accommodates 32 IPv4 routes for communication between locally configured networks, rather than dynamically learned routing. CBS250-48P-4G-EU uses a dynamically shared 3 MB packet buffer to absorb traffic bursts across its interfaces. Onboard resources include 512 MB DRAM and 256 MB flash, with separate storage for operating software and configuration. STP/RSTP/MSTP provide spanning-tree operation, while LACP supports negotiated link aggregation. Security controls include access control lists, RADIUS authentication and port security. A single fan provides active cooling, so installation planning must preserve ventilation rather than treating the chassis as a fanless desktop device.
Specify CBS250-48P-4G-EU in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and confirm quantity, mounting hardware and the required power cord before placing the order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested; every port links at rated speed, powered ports undergo PoE output verification under load, optics bays are checked, firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM warranties are up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply, while Cisco's separate limited lifetime warranty is bounded by October 31, 2029. Submit enterprise and volume requirements by PO; Net-30 is available for government, with RMA advance replacement and regional stock/RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA.

When several locations need a common management approach, the embedded Cisco Business Dashboard probe removes the requirement for a separate probe appliance or virtual machine at each site. Establish who will administer the dashboard, how sites will reach management services and which configuration settings must be standardized before the purchase order.
When an office separates departments, guests and voice endpoints into different networks, the switch supports 255 active VLANs and 16 IP interfaces. Define which segments need local communication and which must traverse external security equipment, then check the proposed interface count before specifying the configuration on the purchase order.
When a replacement switch must reproduce an existing monitoring arrangement, port mirroring can copy traffic from four source ports to one destination port. Identify the analyzer connection and the interfaces that require observation during acceptance testing, then include the required test connections and configuration preparation in the order instructions.
10G uplinks to distribution
The fixed SFP uplinks operate at 1G, not 10G. C1200-48P-4X provides the current migration option with 48 Gigabit powered access ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks.
Continued Cisco security software updates
Cisco vulnerability and security software support ended October 29, 2025. C1200-48P-4G is the replacement for buyers whose purchasing requirements exclude hardware beyond that software-support milestone.
More than 30W per endpoint
Powered endpoints are limited to 30W per port and must share the switch's total power allocation. Endpoint requirements above that ceiling exceed this model's PoE+ capability.

CBS250-48P-4G-EU identifies a Cisco Business 250 switch with 48 powered Gigabit access ports, four Gigabit SFP uplinks and the EU regional ordering suffix. The 48P configuration supplies PoE+, while 4G identifies the four Gigabit uplinks. EU covers the European Economic Area and additional designated markets; it is not a license tier.
CBS250-48P-4G-EU supports a web interface, CLI through its console or SSH/Telnet, Cisco Business Dashboard, the Cisco Business mobile app and SNMP. Cisco Network Plug and Play supports provisioning. Administrators can choose local access or centralized management, with an embedded dashboard probe avoiding a separate on-site probe device.
CBS250-48P-4G-EU provides a shared 370W PoE budget across 48 PoE+ ports, with a maximum of 30W available to an individual port. That shared allocation cannot supply every port at its individual maximum simultaneously. Size the order against combined endpoint demand rather than multiplying the port count by the per-port rating.
The Business 250 configuration offered here supports Gigabit transceivers including MGBSX1 for multimode fiber and MGBLX1 for single-mode fiber. MGBSX1 supports links to 500 m, while MGBLX1 supports links to 10 km. Match both ends of the connection to the fiber type and required reach when specifying optics.
Yes, CBS250-48P-4G-EU supports static routing between VLANs, with 32 IPv4 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. Its filtering classification is Layer 2+ because the routing capability is static rather than a dynamic-routing feature set. Plan local routes explicitly and retain external routing where the network requires dynamically learned paths.
CBS250-48P-4G-EU reached end of sale on October 29, 2024, and its last date of Cisco support is October 31, 2029. Software maintenance and vulnerability support ended October 29, 2025. C1200-48P-4G is the replacement, so remaining hardware-service eligibility must not be interpreted as continued security software maintenance.
CBS250-48P-4G-EU replaces SG250-50P-K9-EU, which reached end of sale on October 30, 2021. That makes the Business 250 model relevant to established replacement inventories, but the replacement itself is now discontinued. For a new-generation migration rather than an existing-family spare, the forward replacement is C1200-48P-4G.
ORM Systems offers CBS250-48P-4G-EU new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns cover every condition for 30 days; terms apply. Cisco's separate limited lifetime hardware warranty remains subject to eligibility and ends with Cisco support on October 31, 2029.
CBS250-48P-4G-EU provides a 370W PoE budget, while CBS250-48PP-4G-EU provides 195W across the same number of powered access ports. Both models are discontinued. The higher-budget version suits existing installations with greater combined endpoint demand; the lower-budget version corresponds to installations whose attached devices fit its smaller shared allocation.
CBS250-48P-4G-EU has four Gigabit SFP uplinks, whereas CBS250-48P-4X-EU has four 10G SFP+ uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The Gigabit version matches existing 1G upstream connections; installations requiring 10G should specify the current C1200-48P-4X migration option rather than treating either discontinued model as a current-generation purchase.
CBS250-48P-4G-EU is discontinued, while C1200-48P-4G is its Catalyst 1200 replacement with the same described 48-port Gigabit powered-access and four-Gigabit-SFP arrangement. The Business 250 model addresses existing-family replacement requirements; C1200-48P-4G addresses buyers moving to the successor family rather than extending an installation tied to the older hardware.
No, this Business 250 configuration uses a single internal AC power supply rather than redundant internal power modules. Its universal input accepts 100-240V AC, and worst-case consumption reaches 451.95W with PoE. Include the attached endpoint load when sizing upstream electrical capacity rather than using chassis-only consumption.
