SG500X-48MP is a managed 48-port Gigabit PoE+ switch with four fixed 10G SFP+ connections and hardware stacking in a rack-mount 1U chassis. The Small Business 500 configuration combines copper endpoint connectivity with fiber uplinks for networks carrying IP phones, wireless access points and surveillance cameras. Layer 2+ operation includes local routing, while the uplink architecture stays fixed rather than accepting removable network modules. Within the discontinued family, SG500X-48P is the lower-power sibling with a 375W PoE budget. Two SFP+ connections can serve as stacking links, so stack topology affects the connections remaining available for uplink traffic. The chassis uses active cooling rather than fanless operation.

176 Gbps switching capacity supports concurrent copper-access and fiber-uplink traffic. 130.95 Mpps forwarding describes packet handling with 64-byte packets. 740W of PoE output powers attached devices without separate endpoint adapters, subject to their individual requirements. Static IPv4 and IPv6 routing supports communication between VLANs, while RIP v2 provides dynamic IPv4 route exchange and VRRP v2/v3 supports default-gateway redundancy. SG500X-48MP pairs 256 MB of memory with 32 MB of flash for its embedded software and configuration storage. The address table holds 16384 MAC entries for learned endpoint addresses. STP/RSTP/MSTP controls Layer 2 loops, and LACP supports aggregated links between network devices. Eight hardware queues provide traffic-priority handling, with strict-priority and weighted-round-robin scheduling available. Port and VLAN mirroring provides traffic copies for analysis without changing the endpoint connection. Endpoint power stops at 30W per port; devices requiring higher input power need another powering method.

In a 10-building corporate campus, IT integrates 200+ Wi-Fi 6 access points and 350 VoIP handsets using the Cisco SG500X-48MP 48-Port Gigabit PoE switch. Four 10-Gigabit stack ports deliver high-speed uplinks to core routers, while per-port PoE budgeting powers devices without external injectors. VLAN segmentation and QoS ensure voice clarity and secure guest access, reducing voice degradation by 40%. Outcome: unified PoE management, zero single-point-failures, and 30% faster deployment of new endpoints.
A global manufacturing group deploys the SG500X-48MP 48-Port Gigabit PoE switch across three production plants to power 120 IP cameras and door controllers per site. Stackable design links four switches over 10-Gbps ports to central NVR servers, simplifying multi-site VLAN policies. Advanced security features—ACLs, 802.1X authentication—protect live video streams and access logs. Outcome: 50% reduction in cabling complexity, real-time 4K video delivery, and consistent compliance with industry security standards.
A financial services firm uses the Cisco SG500X-48MP as a top-of-rack switch in its trading-floor micro-data center. Four units are stacked via 10-Gigabit ports to create a 192-port backbone, delivering sub-millisecond latency for VM clusters. PoE ports power edge compute nodes and environmental sensors, monitored centrally through Cisco’s web UI. Outcome: seamless scale-out of server racks, 25% lower network latency under peak loads, and simplified firmware and QoS policy management across the rack.
When expanding an existing stack, the interconnect choice determines which front-panel connections remain available for traffic. SG500X members support ring or chain arrangements, with SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M and SFP-H10GB-CU5M copper cables providing 1 m, 3 m and 5 m connections. Specify the topology, cable PIDs and lengths before issuing the PO.
When a small-business deployment needs local communication between separate VLANs, interface scale matters alongside the routing method. The switch supports 256 IPv4 interfaces and 128 IPv6 interfaces, configurable on physical ports, link aggregation groups, VLANs or loopbacks. Check the planned interface count and gateway configuration before ordering.
When staging a replacement for an existing configuration, the two-image firmware design separates the running image from the alternate image. Editable text configuration files and SCP transfer support configuration preparation before installation. Specify the required firmware image, configuration handoff and staging checks on the purchase order.
30W on every powered port
Each powered port supports 30W, but the shared budget does not cover every port at that level simultaneously. A deployment requiring simultaneous maximum output across all ports exceeds this model's power allocation.
Multigigabit copper access ports
The fixed copper access ports stop at Gigabit Ethernet, not multigigabit speeds. The 10G connections use SFP+ uplink cages rather than faster RJ-45 endpoint ports.
Continued Cisco hardware support
Cisco service for this model ended April 30, 2023. C1300-48FP-4X is the current migration endpoint for a supported 48-port Gigabit PoE+ configuration with 10G uplinks.

SG500X-48MP uses SG500X for the Gigabit group with 10G uplinks, 48 for the access-port count, and MP for the 740W PoE+ configuration. Four fixed SFP+ connections include two stacking-capable connections. The complete order-product identifier is SG500X-48MP-K9; the supplied model name contains no separate network license-tier suffix.
The Small Business 500 series is managed through its HTTP/HTTPS web interface, Textview CLI through the serial console, SSH or Telnet, and SNMP versions 1, 2c and 3. Cisco FindIT provides discovery. Legacy Cisco OnPlus integration is unavailable because the OnPlus portal stopped operating August 5, 2014.
SG500X-48MP is discontinued, with end of sale on April 12, 2018, and Cisco support ending April 30, 2023. Cisco service has ended for the product. Its migration path passes through discontinued SG550X-48MP and CBS350-48FP-4X models before reaching the current C1300-48FP-4X.
ORM Systems offers SG500X-48MP new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco's original limited lifetime hardware warranty ended with support on April 30, 2023.
SG500X-48MP provides 740W of shared PoE power across 48 ports, with a 30W maximum on an individual port. The aggregate budget is lower than the sum of all per-port maxima. The expected simultaneous draw of phones, access points and cameras determines how much power can be allocated across occupied ports.
SG500X-48MP has four fixed 10G SFP+ connections, including two uplink/stacking combination connections. Supported optical choices include SFP-10G-SR and SFP-10G-LR; copper direct-attach options include SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M and SFP-H10GB-CU5M. The optic or cable selection depends on link media and distance, with stacking connections reserved according to the chosen topology.
The Small Business 500 series supports eight members in one hardware stack and manages the stack as one system. SF500, SG500 and SG500X models can participate in mixed stacks. Ring and chain layouts are supported, but stack-link speed depends on the participating models and interconnect selected.
Yes, SG500X-48MP supports inter-VLAN routing using IPv4 or IPv6 static routes, plus RIP v2 for dynamic IPv4 routing. IPv4 static routing supports 2048 routes and 256 interfaces. VRRP v2 and VRRP v3 support gateway redundancy, while IPv6 static routing supports 2048 routes and 128 interfaces.
SG500X-48MP occupies 1U of rack space and measures 440 mm wide, 44 mm high and 350 mm deep. The chassis weighs 5.43 kg and uses four fans. Its 0°C to 50°C operating range makes ambient temperature, equipment clearance and rack ventilation part of the installation check.
SG500X-48MP has a 740W PoE budget, while SG500X-48P has 375W. Both are discontinued members of the same family. For an existing installation, the maximum-budget model accommodates a larger planned powered-endpoint load; the lower-budget model suits a legacy replacement whose simultaneous demand stays within 375W.
SG500X-48MP provides 48 Gigabit access ports, while SG500X-24MPP provides 24. Both models are discontinued, making this a density comparison for retained installations rather than a current-generation migration. The 48-port model suits a larger existing termination count; the 24-port model suits installations requiring fewer copper endpoint connections.
C1300-48FP-4X is a current Catalyst 1300 model, whereas SG500X-48MP passed its final Cisco support date on April 30, 2023. The forward migration chain reaches the current model through discontinued intermediate families. SG500X-48MP addresses retained-installation spares, while C1300-48FP-4X suits a refresh requiring continued Cisco support.
