The Catalyst 9200 is an access-layer switch: the tier that connects desks, phones, cameras and access points. The usual decisions are port count, whether those ports need to deliver power, and what the uplink to the next layer looks like.
Individual networking products are not listed on this site yet. Availability of any particular model is confirmed by quote rather than published here, so the fastest route is to request a quote.
What to tell us
- Model or part number — the exact SKU if you have it, or the port count and PoE variant.
- Port count and speed — 24 or 48 ports, and whether 1G is enough.
- PoE — PoE or PoE+, and what you are powering.
- Uplinks — SFP or SFP+, and whether transceivers are needed.
- Quantity — and whether it is a one-off or a repeat requirement.
- Compatibility — what this has to work alongside.
- Licensing — tell us which software tier your design needs. We can report the software version present on a quoted unit, but TekBoost supplies the hardware only: Cisco software licences and subscriptions are not included and are not sold by TekBoost, and must be obtained separately from Cisco or an authorised Cisco partner where they are required.
Put the technical detail in the Quote Details field and the volume in Estimated Quantity.

9200 or 9200L — the distinction that matters
Cisco separates these two on more than price. The 9200 takes field-replaceable uplink modules and lists StackWise-160 at 160 Gbps with 4 GB DRAM; the 9200L has fixed uplinks (4x 1G or 4x 1/10G depending on SKU), StackWise-80 at 80 Gbps and 2 GB DRAM. Both support up to eight stack members. Cisco also lists 4 or 32 virtual networks on 9200 models against 1 on the 9200L.
The fixed-uplink point is the one to settle first, because it cannot be changed later. On PoE, Cisco publishes 740 W available on the C9200-48P with the primary supply alone and 1440 W with a secondary fitted — so the supplies in the chassis, not the SKU, decide the budget.
These are platform capabilities from Cisco’s data sheet, not a description of any particular unit. Further reading: 9200 vs 9300 vs 9500, PoE on Cisco switches and uplinks and optics.

Networking equipment bought through a TekBoost quote carries our standard 3-year warranty — buying by quote rather than from an online listing makes no difference to cover — subject to the terms, exclusions and conditions on that page. Manufacturer warranty, software licensing and support entitlements are separate and are not included.
