Cisco Catalyst C1300-48P-4X 48-Port Layer 3 Managed PoE+ Switch, 4x10G SFP+

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-48P-4X provides a 375 W PoE+ power budget shared across its 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, delivering IEEE 802.3at PoE+ at up to 30 W per port. That budget is suitable for mixed deployments of PoE+ devices such as wireless access points, IP phones, and IP cameras; actual device counts depend on each device's power draw. If you need more power for a dense, high-draw deployment across 48 ports, the C1300-48FP-4X provides a 740 W full PoE+ budget.

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-48P-4X has four fixed 10G SFP+ uplink ports. These slots accept 10-Gigabit SFP+ optics and also support 1G SFP modules for slower fiber or copper links. Specific transceiver compatibility should be verified against the supported-SFP module list in the Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series data sheet and Cisco's transceiver compatibility matrix. Transceivers are sold separately.

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-48P-4X supports Cisco Front Panel Stacking of up to eight switches, managed as a single unit under one IP address with a unified data, control, and management plane. Front Panel Stacking runs over the 10 Gigabit Ethernet (SFP+) fiber interfaces. This model can stack only with compatible Front Panel Stacking-capable Catalyst 1300 models within the same stacking family. It does not stack with the 1G-uplink C1300-48P-4G, which has no 10G SFP+ interfaces and does not support stacking.

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-48P-4X is an enterprise-class Layer 3 switch that supports static routing and RIP v2 for routing between VLANs and network segments. It does not support OSPF, BGP, or EIGRP; OSPF is added only on the Cisco Catalyst 1300X models, and this switch is a standard Catalyst 1300. For small and medium-sized business and branch access with straightforward routing needs, static routing and RIP v2 cover inter-VLAN and inter-segment forwarding.

Both are 48-port Gigabit PoE+ Layer 3 switches with four 10G SFP+ uplinks and Cisco Front Panel Stacking, and they differ in PoE budget. The C1300-48P-4X provides 375 W of PoE+, suited to lighter or partial PoE deployments across the 48 ports. The C1300-48FP-4X provides 740 W of full PoE+, supporting denser powered-device deployments; all access ports support PoE+ up to 30 W per port, subject to the shared budget. Choose the FP model for dense, high-draw PoE+ deployments; the P model fits when fewer ports need power or devices draw less.

Yes. Cisco positions the Catalyst 1300 Series as the next-generation successor to the Cisco Business CBS350 Series managed switches, and it is the named migration path following the CBS350 End-of-Sale. Organizations moving from a CBS350 to the C1300-48P-4X keep managed PoE+ Layer 3 switching and gain 48-port density, four 10G SFP+ uplinks, and Cisco Front Panel Stacking, managed through the Cisco Business Dashboard and Cisco Business mobile app.

No. The Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series is a current, actively shipping product line, and Cisco has not published an End-of-Sale or End-of-Life hardware notice for the C1300-48P-4X or the Catalyst 1300 Series. It remains an actively available product. Lifecycle status can change, so it is worth re-checking Cisco's official end-of-life notices periodically.

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-48P-4X is sold new and factory-sealed. It is covered by a Network Devices Inc. one-year warranty and a 30-day return policy.
