Cisco Catalyst C9500-48Y4C-E - Managed Switch, Grey

The Cisco Catalyst C9500-48Y4C-E is a managed 48-port 1/10/25G switch (fixed-core, L2/L3) designed for high-throughput campus and data-centre networks. This non-PoE model functions as a fixed-core router, managing traffic between edge endpoints and enterprise infrastructure. It features 48 SFP slots for fiber connectivity and four uplink interfaces, providing a total of 52 fiber ports. With a total switching capacity of 3200 Gbit/s, the device handles heavy traffic loads without bottlenecks. Operating at Layer 2 and Layer 3, it provides scalable data forwarding for large corporate environments.

Housed in a grey 1U chassis, the switch mounts into standard server racks for centralized deployment. Traffic management uses built-in Quality of Service (QoS) controls and hardware-based multicast routing to prioritize critical data streams. Device monitoring supports standard SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 protocols for integration with existing enterprise network controllers. Physical stacking allows multiple units to operate as a single logical switch, and the device is compatible with redundant power supplies to maintain network availability during hardware faults.

• MAC address table capacity of 82,000 entries for endpoint tracking in large-scale environments.
• Support for up to 4,094 active VLANs to enable detailed multi-tenant network segmentation.
• Equipped with 16 GB of DRAM and a 2400 MHz processor to maintain consistent routing performance.
• Hardware-level 256-bit AES encryption for network security and management sessions.
• 16 GB of onboard flash memory for storing local configurations and operating system files.
