Introduction to the Cisco CBS350-48T-4G-JP
The CBS350-48T-4G-JP is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switch purpose-built for Japanese businesses requiring high-density connectivity, regional regulatory compliance, and scalable performance. Part of Cisco’s Business 350 Series, it caters to enterprises, educational institutions, and industrial sectors needing reliable PoE support, Layer 3 Lite functionality, and adherence to Japan’s stringent energy and safety standards.
Core Technical Specifications
- Port Configuration: 48 × 10/100/1000BASE-T ports + 4 × 1G SFP uplinks for fiber or copper uplink flexibility.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): 370W total PoE budget, delivering up to 30W per port (IEEE 802.3at/af) to devices like IP cameras, wireless APs, and digital displays.
- Layer 3 Lite: Enables static routing, inter-VLAN routing, and QoS policies for traffic prioritization.
- Japan Compliance: Certified under Japanese METI and VCCI standards for electromagnetic compatibility and energy efficiency.
- Management: Hybrid control via Cisco Business Dashboard (cloud) or on-premises CLI/web GUI, with Japanese-language interface support.
Primary Use Cases
1. High-Density Office/Retail Networks: Supports large-scale deployments of PoE devices in spaces like conference halls or shopping centers.
2. Industrial IoT Deployments: Rugged design (operating at 0°C to 45°C) suits factories or warehouses needing stable connectivity for sensors and automation tools.
3. Educational Campuses: Manages traffic between classrooms, labs, and administrative offices with VLAN segmentation.
Addressing Critical User Concerns
Q: Does the CBS350-48T-4G-JP comply with Japan’s revised Energy Conservation Act?
A: Yes, its adaptive power scaling aligns with Top Runner Program requirements, reducing idle power consumption by up to 25%.
Q: Can it support PoE++ for high-wattage devices like pan-tilt-zoom cameras?
A: No—it supports PoE+ (30W/port). For higher demands (e.g., 60W PTZ cameras), consider Cisco Catalyst switches.
Q: Is localized management support available?
A: Yes, the web GUI and documentation include Japanese-language options for streamlined configuration.

Practical Observations from Field Deployment
In a recent deployment for a Tokyo-based logistics center, the CBS350-48T-4G-JP demonstrated its strength in mixed PoE and data environments. The 370W PoE budget effortlessly powered 30+ barcode scanners and IP cameras, while Layer 3 Lite simplified segmenting warehouse and office traffic. Compliance with METI standards avoided costly regulatory re-certification, a critical factor for Japanese clients. However, the lack of stacking limits scalability for enterprises planning rapid expansion. For organizations prioritizing local compliance, PoE density, and ease of use, this switch is a compelling choice—though verify power-per-device requirements to avoid underpowering high-wattage gear.
