Cisco Catalyst C1200-24T-4G - 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch, 4x 1G SFP Uplinks, L3 Static Routing, Fanless 1U - Refresh

The Cisco Catalyst C1200-24T-4G is a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet smart managed switch built for small and medium-sized business networks, branch offices, retail stores, and classrooms that need reliable, secure, and quiet connectivity. It pairs 24 x 10/100/1000 RJ-45 access ports with 4 x 1G SFP fiber uplinks, delivering 56 Gbps wire-speed switching capacity and a 41.66 Mpps forwarding rate in a compact fanless 1U rack-mount chassis. The switch supports Layer 3 static routing (up to 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces), up to 255 active VLANs simultaneously, IEEE 802.1X port authentication, ACLs, and DoS attack prevention — all configured through the Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business Mobile App, web UI, SNMP, or CLI. No subscription or license required to operate.

Cisco Catalyst C1200-24T-4G - Key Features & Benefits

• 24 Gigabit Ports + 4 x 1G SFP Uplinks: 24 x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports for desktops, IP phones, and access points, plus 4 dedicated 1G SFP fiber uplink ports. Cisco datasheet lists supported transceivers as MGBSX1, MGBLH1, MGBLX1, MGBT1, GLC-SX-MMD, GLC-LH-SMD, GLC-BX-U, GLC-BX-D, and GLC-TE.
• Wire-Speed, Nonblocking Performance: Cisco datasheet specifies 56 Gbps switching capacity, 41.66 Mpps forwarding rate (64-byte packets, full-duplex line rate), 1.5 MB dynamically shared packet buffer, and an 8,000-entry MAC address table. Supports jumbo frames up to 9,000 bytes (default MTU is 2,000 bytes).
• Layer 3 Static Routing — Inter-VLAN Routing on the Switch: Supports static IPv4 and IPv6 routing with up to 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces, ideal for offloading inter-VLAN routing from your edge router. Static routing only — no dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, RIP); an external router is still required for WAN/external traffic.
• Fanless 1U Design — Silent Operation: Compact 1RU rack-mountable chassis measuring 17.5″ W x 9.45″ D x 1.73″ H, weighing 5.80 lb (2.63 kg), with a completely fanless thermal design and a Cisco-published MTBF of 2,026,793 hours at 25°C — ideal for offices, classrooms, retail floors, and any deployment where noise and reliability matter.
• Comprehensive Security & Easy Management: Built-in IEEE 802.1X port authentication, up to 512 ACL rules, DoS attack prevention, port security, RADIUS, SSH, and HTTPS/SSL — all configurable through the Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business Mobile App, web GUI, SNMP, or CLI. No subscription or user license required to operate.

Cisco Catalyst C1200-24T-4G - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Does this switch support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
  No. The C1200-24T-4G is a data-only model and does not provide PoE on any port. If you need PoE+ for IP phones, wireless access points, or cameras, choose the C1200-24P-4G (195W PoE+ budget) or C1200-24FP-4G (375W Full PoE+) instead.
• Is this a true Layer 3 switch?
  It supports Layer 3 static routing only, with up to 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces, which is well-suited for inter-VLAN routing on small-to-medium networks. It does NOT support dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, or RIP — for full enterprise Layer 3 features, look at the Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series or similar.
• What is the difference between the C1200-24T-4G and the C1200-24T-4X?
  Both have 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and a fanless 1U chassis, but the uplinks differ. The -4G has 4 x 1G SFP uplinks (1 Gbps fiber); the -4X has 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks (10 Gbps). Choose the -4X if you need 10G uplinks to a core switch, NAS, or SAN.
