Full English Product Description: Cisco C9200L-48PL-4G-M

1. Product Overview

Cisco C9200L-48PL-4G-M is a fixed-stackable Meraki cloud-managed Layer3 access switch under Catalyst 9200L-M product family, PL = Partial PoE+ (limited total PoE budget), G = fixed 1G SFP uplink, -M = Meraki Dashboard cloud subscription licensing instead of traditional perpetual IOS XE license, built on UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC & IOS XE OS. It is 1U rackmount equipment equipped with 48×10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 partial PoE+ downlink ports + 4×fixed Gigabit SFP uplink slots, cost-optimized for small/medium branch offices, retail stores and low-PoE-density wiring closets with fewer powered APs/IP phones deployment.

2. Port Configuration

• 48×Gigabit Partial PoE+ RJ45 Downlink (PL = Partial PoE+): All ports are IEEE802.3at PoE+ capable (max 30W per single port), yet equipped with 370W total default PoE power budget (lower than full PoE+ 740W model), only partial ports can run PoE+ simultaneously to cut equipment cost; applicable for scenarios with mixed wired PC + small quantity PoE terminals (AP/IP phone/IP camera).
• 4×Fixed 1G SFP Uplink Ports (G=1G SFP): Fixed Gigabit SFP slots for 1G fiber/copper SFP transceivers, used for 1G uplink connection to core/aggregation switch, suitable for cost-sensitive branch network without 10G uplink demand.
• Auxiliary Interfaces: 1×RJ45 Console out-of-band management port, 1×USB-A port for local config backup/firmware upgrade; built-in dedicated StackWise-80 stacking interface for physical stacking linkage between identical C9200L-M switches.

3. Core Hardware Specifications

• Switching Capacity: 104 Gbps | Forwarding Rate:77.38 Mpps; MAC address table:16,000 entries, shared 6MB on-chip packet buffer
• Memory: 2GB DRAM + 4GB onboard Flash storage for IOS XE firmware & configuration files
• Power & PoE Budget: Default fitted with PWR-C5-600WAC AC power supply; fixed default partial PoE budget =370W, dual hot-swappable redundant PSU slot reserved, max expandable PoE budget after dual PSU upgrade up to approx 740W; redundant built-in cooling fans for stable heat dissipation.
• Stacking: Cisco StackWise-80 stacking technology with total 80Gbps bidirectional stacking bandwidth; up to 8 same-model C9200L-M switches can be stacked as one single logical switch for unified Meraki cloud management and sub-50ms stack failover protection.
• Physical Parameter: Dimension:1.73in(H)×17.5in(W)×12.9in(D)/4.4×44.5×32.8cm, standard 19-inch 1U rack installation; approx net weight:4.8kg; certified FCC, CE, UL, RoHS compliance standards.
• Operating Environment: Working ambient temperature: -5℃ ~ +45℃, non-condensing relative humidity:5%~90% RH

4. Meraki Cloud Subscription License (Two tiers: Enterprise Base Mandatory / Advanced Optional Add-on; only 1/3/5-year term subscription available, no perpetual license)

5. Typical Application & Core Advantages

Deployment Scenarios

Cost-effective partial PoE access layer for small branch offices, chain retail shops, small classroom wiring closets and low-density smart buildings requiring only limited PoE terminal deployment & standard 1G fiber uplink to core network.

Key Benefits

✔ Meraki centralized cloud management reduces multi-branch on-site maintenance cost and manual configuration workload;

✔ Partial 370W PoE+ design lowers initial equipment investment vs full PoE+ model for low-PoE-demand environments;

✔ Fixed 4×1G SFP uplink satisfies conventional branch 1G backhaul requirement with favorable cost;

✔ StackWise-80 stacking enables flexible port expansion and equipment redundancy to improve overall network uptime;

✔ Visual Adaptive Policy simplifies security partition deployment and reduces manual configuration error rate.

6. Warranty & Service Terms

Cisco standard limited lifetime hardware warranty covered; all Meraki cloud management, remote troubleshooting and licensed feature usage are fully included within valid subscription period; optional SNTC(Smart Net Total Care) advance hardware replacement service available via Cisco authorized service contract.
