C9200CX-M Series
The Cisco Catalyst 9200CX Series delivers enterprise-class switching in a compact, fanless form factor, making it ideal for environments where space, noise and power efficiency are critical. Designed for branch offices, retail, healthcare, education and smart buildings, the C9200CX provides the same Cisco IOS XE software, security and Layer 3 capabilities as larger Catalyst platforms in an 8 or 12-port footprint.
With a choice of data-only, PoE+, UPOE and multigigabit models, the series supports modern wireless deployments, IoT devices and high-performance endpoints. Fixed 10Gb SFP+ uplinks, up to 240W PoE budget, and flexible powering options—including PoE-powered and HVDC models—make the C9200CX an excellent choice for extending enterprise networks into space-constrained locations without compromising on performance or features.
Compact, fanless design – Silent operation with a small footprint makes the Catalyst 9200CX ideal for retail, hospitality, healthcare, education and other space-constrained deployments.
Enterprise performance – Delivers up to 128 Gbps switching capacity with non-blocking Gigabit and multigigabit connectivity for modern users, wireless access points and IoT devices.
Flexible connectivity – Available with 8 or 12 access ports, fixed 10Gb SFP+ uplinks, PoE+, Cisco UPOE and multigigabit (up to 10GbE) options to support high-performance endpoints and Wi-Fi 6/6E deployments.
Flexible powering options – Models are available with internal AC power supplies, HVDC support, external power adapters and even PoE-powered operation, enabling deployment where traditional power is unavailable.
Advanced Layer 3 services – Supports static routing, OSPF, EIGRP, RIP, IS-IS and basic BGP (IOS XE 17.13.1 and later), making it suitable for intelligent edge deployments.
Built-in security – Protects users and devices with Cisco Trustworthy Solutions, policy-based segmentation and AES-256 MACsec encryption to secure data in transit.
Cisco IOS XE software – Runs the same enterprise operating system as the wider Catalyst 9000 family, providing automation, programmability, API integration and simplified lifecycle management.
SD-Access ready – Supports Cisco Software-Defined Access for automated policy enforcement, segmentation and simplified network operations across the enterprise.
