Product overview
The Cisco Catalyst C9200CX-12T-2X2G-E is a small to use Enterprise-class access switch that fits in ultra-small spaces and requires low noise levels- hall conference rooms, micro-branches, retail pods, classrooms as well as workgroup enclosures. It offers 1G wired access in twelve RJ-45 ports and offers flexible fiber uplink to your distribution/core in one, low-profile chassis with 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ interfaces.
The 9200CX is part of the Catalyst 9000 family and extends trust, policy-ready segmentation and operations that are easy to automate to small footprints. The -E bundle (Network Essentials) contains the basic Layer 2/Layer 3 functionality that most deployments require and the fanless design and flexible mounting support mean that it can be installed in places full-depth switches cannot be.
