Addressing Core Enterprise Concerns
Q: Can this switch power 48 PoE+ devices simultaneously without oversubscription?
Yes. The 1,170W budget supports 48x 30W devices (e.g., Cisco 9124AX APs) at full load, leaving no risk of power starvation.
Q: Is it compatible with older PoE devices like IP phones or sensors?
Absolutely. Backward compatibility with IEEE 802.3af (PoE) ensures seamless integration with legacy devices.
Q: How does StackWise-160 benefit distributed deployments?
By creating a single management domain across 384 ports, it simplifies configuration and monitoring for multi-building campuses.

Why This Switch Excels in Legacy-to-Modern Transitions
In a recent smart warehouse deployment, the C9200-48PB-A powered 200+ legacy barcode scanners and 60 Wi-Fi 5 APs without requiring mid-span injectors or power upgrades. While the 24PXG-10E caters to cutting-edge Wi-Fi 6E, the 48PB-A’s pure 1G PoE+ design offers unmatched cost efficiency for organizations phasing out older IoT systems. Its DNA Essentials licensing also streamlines compliance audits—a critical factor for industries like logistics where uptime and regulatory adherence are non-negotiable. For enterprises balancing legacy device support with moderate scalability, this model is a workhorse that prioritizes reliability over bleeding-edge speeds.
