SF550X-48MP is a managed, stackable Fast Ethernet switch for small-business networks. Its powered access connections serve 10/100 endpoints, while the fixed uplinks provide copper and fiber connection choices. The 550X Series Stackable Managed Switches include this higher-budget PoE+ configuration for installations retaining Fast Ethernet endpoint connectivity rather than moving every access connection to Gigabit Ethernet.

89.6 Gbps switching capacity and 66.66 Mpps forwarding support packet transfer across the fixed connections. SF550X-48MP provides 512 MB DRAM, 256 MB flash and a shared 3 MB packet buffer. Static routing and RIP v2 provide routed connectivity; VRRP and PBR add gateway redundancy and forwarding-policy control.
Order SF550X-48MP in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and specify the regional destination and required accessory contents on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, 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. ORM provides new units with up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units with up to 1 year, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a 500-user corporate headquarters, the SF550X-48MP supplies 48 10/100 PoE+ ports with a 740W budget to power IP phones, HD video conferencing endpoints, and wireless access points on every floor. Four 10GbE uplinks (2 x 10GBase-T/SFP+ combo + 2 x SFP+) aggregate traffic to the core switch, ensuring sub-millisecond latency and 1.2 Gbps of concurrent voice, video, and data throughput. Outcome: Simplified network design reduces rack space by 30%, cuts power costs through PoE+ consolidation, and delivers carrier-grade call quality with 99.999% uptime.
A major sports stadium integrates 200 IP cameras, environmental sensors, and digital signage using the SF550X-48MP’s 740W PoE+ budget across 48 ports. Dual 10GbE uplinks to the on-site security appliance isolate high-definition video streams from facility management data. Outcome: Centralized PoE+ power management increases surveillance uptime by 25%, simplifies cable infrastructure, and supports real-time analytics with zero packet loss at 10 Gbps backhaul speeds.
In a mid-sized data center, the SF550X-48MP acts as a top-of-rack switch for 20 blade servers and 12 hyperconverged nodes, providing 740W PoE+ for management interfaces and out-of-band consoles. Four 10GbE ports (2 combo + 2 SFP+) link to the leaf-spine fabric, enabling 40Gbps virtual machine migration and storage I/O bursts. Outcome: Consolidated rack layout frees two RU per rack, accelerates live workload mobility by 40%, and delivers sub-100 µs latency for distributed storage clusters.
An installed estate retaining this exact model needs spare hardware separated from the configuration work required for replacement. ORM supports stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA. Specify the regional destination, required condition and accessory contents before issuing the PO, rather than treating every spare order as interchangeable.
A staging bench preparing firmware changes can use the switch's dual firmware images to rehearse the intended update sequence. Keep the test configuration separate from the production configuration and record the image selected for deployment. Specify the required condition and confirm the planned staging procedure before placing the hardware order.
Gigabit speed on every endpoint
The access connections are limited to 10/100. C1300-48FP-4X provides 48 Gigabit access ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks as the current migration-chain endpoint.
Continuing Cisco service coverage
Cisco service ended June 30, 2025. A new sealed unit does not restart support eligibility; C1300-48FP-4X is the current migration-chain endpoint.
