Cisco C1000-48P-4G-L Catalyst 1000 48-Port Switch

Built for organisations seeking reliable and secure network access outside of traditional wiring closets, the Cisco C1000-48P-4G-L Catalyst 1000-48-Port Switch is the ideal device, particularly for supporting critical IoT deployments. The C1000-48P-4G-L is specifically built with 48 x Gigabit Ethernet data or PoE+ ports, all of which support PoE+, along with four 1-Gigabit SFP uplink interfaces. This switch offers 104 Gb/s switching capacity and 77.38 Mpps forwarding rate, ensuring smooth data transfer for demanding applications. It supports large Ethernet frames of up to 10,240 bytes for improved network efficiency. This switch features an RJ-45 Ethernet port, a USB mini-B port, and a USB-A port for storage and Bluetooth console access.

Engineered with an 800 MHz ARM processor and 512MB RAM, ensuring high performance and enough storage space for use. Supporting a power budget of up to 370W, the switch can simultaneously power a significant number of PoE+ devices. It offers comprehensive security features such as 802.1X support, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and DHCP snooping, allowing you to protect the network from unauthorised access and attacks. This switch is designed for operational efficiency, offering simplified device and network management through its familiar Cisco IOS CLI and a user-friendly web-based graphical interface. With a rack mountable and compact design, the switch maintains a small form factor and is efficient for rack space utilisation in any work environment.

Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)

The Cisco C1000-48P-4G-L Catalyst 1000-48-Port Switch provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ capabilities, allowing for direct power delivery to devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras, simplifying deployment and reducing cabling costs. PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) allows the switch to deliver both data and electrical power over a single Ethernet cable. It eliminates the need for separate power outlets and power adapters for devices like IP phones, wireless access points (WAPs), security cameras, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, and thin clients.

Generous PoE Budget

With a 370W PoE budget, the Cisco C1000-48P-4G-L Catalyst 1000-48-Port Switch can power a significant number of PoE+ devices simultaneously. It provides room for growth and the addition of more PoE-powered devices in the future without needing to upgrade the switch or add external power injectors.

Gigabit Uplinks

This switch features 4 x 1 Gigabit SFP uplink ports for flexible, high-speed connections to other network devices or the backbone via fibre optic cables. SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) ports are modular slots where you can insert different types of modules. These 1-Gigabit SFP ports allow for fibre optic connections. The fibre optic cables can transmit data over much longer distances than copper Ethernet cables (which are typically limited to 100 meters), making it crucial for connecting switches between different floors, buildings, or over longer runs within a large office space.

Simple Management

The Cisco C1000-48P-4G-L Catalyst 1000-48-Port Switch operates on the familiar Cisco IOS Software and offers intuitive management options via both a Command-Line Interface (CLI) and an on-box web UI, making it accessible for network administrators of varying skill levels. The Web UI simplifies initial setup, monitoring, and common configuration tasks for administrators who may not be deeply familiar with CLI commands. The IOS CLI offers deep configuration capabilities and is a familiar environment for advanced troubleshooting and scripting. Both interfaces contribute to efficient network management, allowing administrators to choose the method that best suits their task and skill level. This reduces operational overhead.

Enhanced Security

Including a suite of security features such as 802.1X support, Access Control Lists (ACLs), DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) Guard to protect the network from unauthorised access and malicious attacks. The switch incorporates a suite of features designed to protect the network from unauthorised access, data breaches, and various types of network attacks. It supports 802.1X, which provides robust network access control, ensuring that only authenticated and authorised devices/users can connect to the network to prevent unauthorised access.
