Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switch - C9200-48T-A

1. Product Overview

The Cisco Catalyst 9200-48T-A is a high-performance, 48-port Gigabit Ethernet data switch designed for modern enterprise access layers. It is part of the intent-based networking Catalyst 9200 Series, delivering security, resiliency, and programmability in a scalable form factor. Ideal for campus and branch deployments, this switch supports advanced features like SD-Access, stacking, and full Layer 3 capabilities.

2. Key Features

• 48 x 1G data ports + modular uplink slots
• StackWise-160 support (up to 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth)
• Cisco IOS XE Software with programmability and automation
• SD-Access support for policy-based segmentation
• Hardware-based encryption (MACsec)
• Redundant power supply and fan support
• Cloud management via Meraki dashboard or Cisco Catalyst Center

3. Core Technologies

The C9200-48T-A leverages Cisco’s UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC with integrated CPU for optimized performance and scale. It supports:

• IEEE 802.1AE MACsec encryption
