Technical Specifications

• Switching Capacity: 128 Gbps (24-port C9200-24T/24P/24PXG); 288 Gbps with StackWise-160 stacking. 9200L fixed-uplink models: up to 392 Gbps (e.g., C9200L-48PXG-4X)
• Forwarding Rate: 95.23 Mpps (24-port standalone); 214 Mpps with stacking. 9200L 48-port fixed models: up to 291.66 Mpps
• Ports (breakdown): C9200: 24 or 48 x 1G RJ-45 downlinks (T = data, P = PoE+/UPOE, PXG = PoE+ with mGig), plus a modular uplink slot for 4x1G or 4x10G network modules. C9200L: 24 or 48 x 1G/mGig downlinks with fixed 4x10G SFP+ uplinks (some models 2x25G). C9200CX (compact): 8-port and 12-port variants with mGig and 10G SFP+ uplinks
• PoE Budget: C9200 24-port P models: up to 740W with dual power supplies (370W on default single PSU). C9200 48-port P models: 740W with one PSU, 1440W with two. C9200L: up to 740W (24-port) and 1440W (48-port). PoE+ power allocation is dynamic
• Layer: L2 with Network Essentials; L3 (static routing, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, PIM, with Network Advantage)
• Stacking Support: Yes. C9200 uses StackWise-160 (160 Gbps stack ring, up to 8 units with the same license level). C9200L uses StackWise-80 (80 Gbps). C9200 and C9200L cannot be stacked together

Curation Review

• ✔ Pros: Cisco StackWise-160 stacking gives a single logical management domain and up to 288 Gbps of stack capacity on the modular C9200; Modular uplink slot on the C9200 lets you choose 4x1G or 4x10G uplinks; Wide PoE range from data-only to UPOE and mGig, which suits Wi-Fi 6/6E access points and IP phones; Network Essentials (L2) and Network Advantage (L3) licensing lets you buy the feature level you need; Compact fanless 9200CX models fit small branch and IoT deployments; Supported by Cisco DNA Center and Catalyst management tools with Cisco IOS XE
• ✘ Cons: Stacking is incompatible between the 9200 and 9200L families, which limits mixed-fleet growth; Network Advantage licensing adds significant per-switch cost over Essentials; Full PoE budget on 48-port models needs a second power supply (1440W), which raises the price; Uplink module choice on the modular C9200 is limited to 1G or 10G with no 25G or 40G option; Forwarding rates of 95 Mpps are modest for dense 10G aggregation compared with Catalyst 9300 models; Public spec sheets from resellers conflict on forwarding rate and PoE budget, so confirm the exact PID against Cisco's datasheet before purchase
• Est. Price: $2,796 - $7,286

Curation Review

• ✔ Pros: Eight 2.5GbE PoE+ ports suit multi-gig Wi-Fi 6 access points and desktop devices; Layer 3 managed feature set at a low price for the class; 80 Gbps switching capacity and 59.52 Mpps forwarding rate cover small-office and branch loads; Two 10G SFP+ uplinks allow 10G backhaul or fiber links; Compact desktop form factor with wall-mount kit and LCM touchscreen for local status; 120W PoE budget is enough for several PoE+ access points or cameras
• ✘ Cons: Only 802.3af/at PoE+ (max 32W per port), so it cannot power PoE++ devices such as Ubiquiti's U7/E7 access points; Product is listed as Vintage with no official successor named, so long-term availability and firmware support are uncertain; 120W total PoE budget limits how many high-draw devices can be powered at once; Only two SFP+ uplinks and no stacking support, which limits scaling; Price varies widely across resellers ($479 on Ubiquiti's US store, up to about $688 or more at third-party sellers)
• Est. Price: $479 - $688
