Ports

The Cisco C9200L-48P-4X-A Layer 3 Switch is equipped with 48 ports, making it an ideal choice for businesses that require a high number of network connections. These ports provide the essential interface for connecting devices such as computers, servers, printers, and other network-enabled devices to the switch.

Increased Connectivity

With 48 ports available, users have the flexibility to connect a large number of devices to the switch simultaneously. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that have a high demand for network connectivity, such as large enterprises or educational institutions. The abundance of ports allows for seamless communication and data transfer between devices, ensuring smooth operations and efficient collaboration.

Scalability

The 48 ports on the Cisco C9200L-48P-4X-A Layer 3 Switch allow for easy scalability. As businesses grow and expand, the need for additional network connections increases. With extra ports readily available, organizations can effortlessly add new devices to their network without the hassle of acquiring additional switches or conducting extensive rewiring. This scalability feature offers cost savings and flexibility in adapting to changing business requirements.

Diverse Connectivity Options

The switch's 48 ports provide a wide range of connectivity options. Each port supports various Ethernet standards, including 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-X, enabling compatibility with different networking technologies. This versatility ensures that the switch can seamlessly integrate with existing network infrastructures, regardless of the devices' connectivity requirements.

Uplink Ports

In addition to the 48 ports, the Cisco C9200L-48P-4X-A Layer 3 Switch also includes four uplink ports. These uplink ports are designed to provide high-speed connections between switches or other networking devices.

Enhanced Performance

The four uplink ports on this switch offer faster data transfer rates compared to standard ports. This is particularly important for organizations that deal with large amounts of data or require high-bandwidth applications. By utilizing the uplink ports, businesses can significantly improve network performance and reduce latency, ensuring smooth and responsive network operations.

Network Redundancy

The presence of multiple uplink ports allows for network redundancy. In the event of a link failure or congestion on one port, the switch can automatically reroute traffic through the available uplink ports. This redundancy ensures uninterrupted connectivity and minimizes the risk of network downtime, which is critical for businesses that rely heavily on their network infrastructure.

Flexible Deployment

The presence of four uplink ports provides flexibility in network deployment. Users can choose to connect the switch to multiple switches or networking devices simultaneously, enabling a more efficient and organized network topology. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for businesses with complex network architectures or those that require segregation of specific departments or services within their network.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE+)

The Cisco C9200L-48P-4X-A Layer 3 Switch features Power over Ethernet (PoE+) capability, which allows it to provide both data connectivity and power to compatible devices through a single Ethernet cable.

Simplified Installation

With PoE+ support, users can easily install network-enabled devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without the need for separate power cables. This simplifies the installation process and reduces clutter caused by multiple cables, making it especially advantageous in environments where aesthetics and space utilization are crucial.

Cost Savings

By eliminating the need for individual power adapters, PoE+ technology offers significant cost savings. Businesses can avoid the expense of purchasing and maintaining separate power sources for each network device, resulting in reduced infrastructure costs. Additionally, PoE+ ensures efficient power management by delivering power only when needed, reducing energy consumption and further contributing to cost savings.

Remote Power Management

The PoE+ feature allows for centralized power management and control. Administrators can remotely monitor and manage the power supply to connected devices, enabling efficient troubleshooting and maintenance. The ability to remotely power cycle devices or adjust power settings significantly reduces the need for on-site visits, saving time and resources.

Manageable

The Cisco C9200L-48P-4X-A Layer 3 Switch is a manageable switch, providing users with advanced configuration and monitoring capabilities.

Network Optimization

With its manageability features, users can optimize their network performance by fine-tuning various settings. Administrators have access to advanced configuration options, allowing them to prioritize network traffic, implement quality of service (QoS) policies, and set up VLANs for improved network segmentation. This level of control ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and resources, enhancing overall network efficiency.

Enhanced Security

Manageable switches offer robust security features that protect the network from unauthorized access and potential threats. Administrators can implement access control lists (ACLs), configure port security settings, and enable encryption protocols to safeguard sensitive data. The ability to monitor network traffic and detect anomalies provides an additional layer of security against potential cyber attacks.

Monitoring and Troubleshooting

The manageability of the Cisco C9200L-48P-4X-A Layer 3 Switch enables comprehensive monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities. Administrators can monitor network performance in real-time, track bandwidth usage, and identify potential bottlenecks or issues. This proactive approach allows for timely troubleshooting and resolution of network problems, minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted operations.

Media Type

The Cisco C9200L-48P-4X-A Layer 3 Switch supports twisted pair media type for connectivity.

Compatibility

Twisted pair cabling, commonly known as Ethernet cables, is the most widely used media type for network connectivity. The switch's support for twisted pair ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet cables that are readily available in the market. This eliminates the need for specialized or proprietary cabling, simplifying the setup and reducing costs associated with acquiring specific media types.

Flexibility

The use of twisted pair media provides flexibility in network deployment. Users can easily extend their network by connecting devices using Ethernet cables of varying lengths. This flexibility is particularly advantageous in environments where devices are located at different distances from the switch or when devices need to be moved or rearranged frequently.

Reliability

Twisted pair cabling is known for its reliability and robustness. It offers excellent resistance to electrical interference and crosstalk, ensuring reliable data transmission and minimizing data loss or corruption. The switch's support for twisted pair media type guarantees a stable and dependable network connection, critical for businesses that rely on continuous and secure data transfer.
