Cisco C9200L-24T-4X-E — Catalyst 9200L 24-Port Switch with 4×10G Uplinks (Network Essentials)
What it is
C9200L-24T-4X-E is a Cisco Catalyst 9200L Series enterprise access switch.
It’s a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) access switch with 4×10G SFP+ uplink ports, running Cisco IOS-XE and licensed with the Network Essentials feature set — ideal for branch and campus deployments that need foundational switching with higher-speed uplinks.
Why buyers pick C9200L-24T-4X-E (plain English)
Reliable access for everyday networks
24 Gigabit Ethernet downlinks connect desktops, servers, and edge devices with predictable performance.
High-speed uplinks included
Four 10G SFP+ uplinks give plenty of capacity for aggregation, distribution, and high-bandwidth peering.
Enterprise IOS-XE platform
Delivers consistent security, management and protocol support across Cisco access deployments.
Stackability for growth
Supports StackWise-compatible stacking to simplify large-network expansion and unified management.
Network Essentials license
Provides essential enterprise features (Layer 2 and basic Layer 3) without paying for advanced routing you might not need.
