SG350X-48-K9 - 48-Port Gigabit L3 Stackable Managed Switch

Cisco SG350X-48-K9: 48 GbE ports, 4x 10G uplinks (2x combo + 2x SFP+), Layer 3 stackable managed switch for growing SMB networks.

The Cisco SG350X-48-K9 is part of the Cisco 350X Series Stackable Managed Switches, designed to deliver rich Layer 3 managed switching capabilities for small and medium-sized businesses at an affordable price point. It provides 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports for standard device connectivity plus 4 additional 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (2x 10GBase-T/SFP+ combo and 2x SFP+) for high-speed uplinks or server connections. The switch supports true physical stacking of up to four units, enabling unified data, control, and management planes across a stack that operates as a single logical entity. With Layer 3 features such as static routing, VLANs, and Access Control Lists (ACLs), plus advanced security like DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection, the SG350X-48-K9 is well suited for growing network environments requiring reliable, scalable, and secure switching infrastructure without requiring a large dedicated IT staff.
