The Cisco C9200-48T-4G delivers exceptional port density and performance for organizations in Dubai requiring comprehensive connectivity solutions that can accommodate large numbers of network devices while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability and security. This high-density 48-port Gigabit Ethernet access switch represents the optimal choice for businesses across the UAE that need to connect extensive numbers of workstations, servers, and network devices within a compact, cost-effective platform.

Designed specifically for high-density deployments, the C9200-48T-4G provides 48 high-performance 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports complemented by modular uplink options that ensure seamless integration into existing network infrastructures. This port density makes it particularly well-suited for organizations in Abu Dhabi implementing large office environments, educational institutions, or data centers that require extensive connectivity while maintaining optimal space utilization and operational efficiency.

The switch’s StackWise-160 technology enables organizations to create highly scalable network architectures by combining multiple units into unified systems that provide hundreds of ports with centralized management and automatic failover capabilities. This scalability is essential for growing businesses that need to accommodate increasing numbers of network devices without compromising performance or introducing management complexity.

Built on Cisco’s proven UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC platform, the C9200-48T-4G delivers exceptional packet processing performance that ensures consistent operation even when all 48 ports are fully utilized. The switch’s advanced forwarding architecture optimizes traffic flow and minimizes latency, making it ideal for organizations implementing bandwidth-intensive applications or real-time services that demand predictable network performance characteristics.

High-Density Connectivity and Scalability

The Cisco C9200-48T-4G addresses the growing connectivity requirements of modern enterprises by providing 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a compact 1U form factor, delivering exceptional port density that maximizes rack space utilization while minimizing infrastructure costs. This high-density design is particularly valuable for organizations in Dubai implementing large-scale network deployments where space efficiency and cost optimization are critical considerations.

Each of the 48 ports supports full Gigabit Ethernet performance with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX capabilities, simplifying cable management and reducing installation complexity. The ports provide comprehensive support for various device types including workstations, servers, IP phones, wireless access points, and other network-attached equipment commonly found in enterprise environments. This versatility makes the C9200-48T-4G an ideal choice for organizations seeking to standardize their access layer infrastructure while accommodating diverse connectivity requirements.

The switch’s modular uplink architecture provides flexibility for connecting to distribution layer switches or other network infrastructure components, ensuring that the increased traffic generated by 48 access ports can be efficiently transported throughout the network. Support for various uplink modules enables organizations to select the most appropriate connectivity options based on their specific bandwidth requirements, distance limitations, and network architecture considerations.

StackWise-160 technology enables multiple C9200-48T-4G switches to be combined into unified systems that provide linear scalability for port density while maintaining centralized management and automatic failover capabilities. A fully configured stack can provide up to 384 Gigabit Ethernet ports with 160 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, creating network infrastructures capable of supporting the largest enterprise deployments while maintaining operational simplicity.

Advanced buffer management ensures optimal performance even when all 48 ports are simultaneously active with high traffic loads. The switch’s buffer architecture has been specifically designed to handle the traffic patterns associated with high-density deployments, where numerous devices may simultaneously transmit data that must be efficiently processed and forwarded. This buffer optimization prevents packet loss and maintains consistent performance characteristics across all connected devices.

Enterprise Performance and Reliability

The performance characteristics of the Cisco C9200-48T-4G have been optimized to handle the demanding requirements of high-density network deployments while maintaining the reliability and consistency that enterprise environments require. With a switching capacity of 104 Gbps and forwarding rate of 77.38 million packets per second, the switch delivers exceptional throughput that ensures consistent performance even under maximum load conditions.

The switch’s UADP 2.0 Mini ASIC provides dedicated processing resources that ensure optimal packet forwarding performance regardless of the number of active ports or traffic patterns. This dedicated processing architecture prevents performance degradation that can occur in high-density deployments where numerous devices compete for switching resources. The result is consistent, predictable performance that maintains application responsiveness and user productivity.

Quality of Service capabilities integrated into the C9200-48T-4G ensure that critical traffic receives appropriate prioritization even in high-density environments where network congestion is more likely to occur. The switch supports comprehensive QoS marking, classification, and queuing mechanisms that can differentiate between various traffic types and apply appropriate handling policies. This QoS capability is essential for organizations in Abu Dhabi implementing unified communications, video conferencing, or other real-time applications that require predictable network performance.

The switch’s comprehensive monitoring and diagnostic capabilities provide detailed visibility into port utilization, traffic patterns, and performance metrics across all 48 ports. Network administrators can quickly identify potential bottlenecks, monitor device connectivity, and analyze traffic trends to optimize network performance and plan for future capacity requirements. This monitoring capability is particularly valuable in high-density environments where identifying and resolving issues quickly is essential for maintaining operational efficiency.

Field-replaceable unit design ensures maximum uptime and operational continuity, critical factors for organizations that cannot afford network downtime in high-density deployments where switch failures could impact large numbers of users and devices. The switch’s redundant fan and power supply options provide additional protection against hardware failures while enabling maintenance activities to be performed without disrupting network operations.
