Description

C1000-48P-4X-L Cisco Catalyst 1000 Managed Switch

The C1000-48P-4X-L is a fixed-configuration Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Layer 2 access switch for small businesses, branch offices and distributed enterprise sites. It combines 48 x 10/100/1000 PoE+ Ethernet ports with 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks, making it suitable for IP phones, wireless access points, cameras and mixed office endpoints. Gear Net Technologies supplies Cisco switching hardware in Dubai and across the UAE, with support for model selection, optics, power planning and replacement projects.

Key Specifications

Deployment Benefits

• Reliable access connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet ports support business endpoints and segmented VLAN designs.
• Flexible fibre uplinks: 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks support resilient links to distribution switches, servers or another communications room when fitted with compatible optics.
• Familiar management: Cisco IOS command-line tools and the on-box web interface simplify configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting.
• Network controls: VLANs, Quality of Service, link aggregation, Spanning Tree, access control and port-security features help maintain an orderly access layer.
• Compact branch design: The fixed 1RU format suits office racks and refresh projects that do not require modular chassis switching.

PoE and Endpoint Planning

This model is specified as PoE+ on access ports, with 370W PoE budget. For PoE versions, calculate the combined maximum draw of phones, cameras and access points rather than relying only on the number of ports. Some devices use less power normally but require a higher allowance during startup. GNTME can review endpoint quantities and recommend a suitable power margin.

Optics and Compatibility

Uplink modules must match the port speed, fibre type, connector, distance and far-end interface. This model provides 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks. Confirm whether the design requires multimode or single-mode fibre, and verify that both ends support the selected speed. Use supported Cisco or project-approved compatible transceivers and check the installed software release before deployment.

Lifecycle and Replacement Guidance

Catalyst 1000 hardware is commonly requested for installed-base expansion, like-for-like replacement and spare stock. Availability varies by model and region. For a new network standard, compare IOS requirements, uplink speed, PoE budget, support coverage and management method with current Cisco access-switch options. Catalyst 1200 or 1300 models may suit cost-sensitive business networks, while Catalyst 9200-family switches may be preferable where enterprise policy, stacking or advanced management is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is C1000-48P-4X-L a managed switch?

Yes. It is a managed Cisco Catalyst access switch with Cisco IOS-based configuration and monitoring options.

Does C1000-48P-4X-L support PoE?

PoE+ on access ports. Its stated model power allocation is 370W PoE budget. Confirm the complete endpoint power requirement before ordering.

Which uplink modules are required?

The switch has 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks. Select optics or DACs according to speed, medium, connector, reach and the equipment at the opposite end.

Can this model replace an older Catalyst switch?

Often, but compatibility depends on port density, PoE load, uplink design, VLAN and security configuration, software features and support requirements. Share the existing model and configuration summary for a replacement check.

Can GNTME assist with supply and deployment in the UAE?

Yes. Gear Net Technologies can assist with product sourcing, BOM validation, optics selection, configuration planning and deployment services in Dubai and across the UAE.
