OPTCORE Compatible SFP Module and Patch Cable for Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switch
Jan
At the end of 2018, Cisco launched the 9200 series access switch for mid- and large-size enterprise networks. This switch is the backbone of the network infrastructure and plays the most crucial role. Additionally, the SFP modules and optical patch cables are essential for the network’s connectivity. This post will introduce the compatible SFP and patch cables for Cisco 9200 switches.
Cisco Catalyst 9200 Switch Overview
Officially released in November 2018, the Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches are designed to provide efficient access solutions for small, medium, and large enterprise-class networks. As part of the Catalyst 9000 product line, they focus on an intent-based network architecture that can support organizations in simplifying IT operations and reducing operational costs during digital transformation.
The Cisco 9200 series switches offer various features to help organizations build flexible, reliable, and secure modern networks that adapt to different network environments. Now, let’s briefly review the key features.
Power over Ethernet (PoE+)
Some switches in the 9200 series can support IEEE 802.3at PoE+, providing up to 30W of power per port. In high-end models, up to 48 PoE+ ports can be equipped and provide up to 1,440 W of total PoE power. PoE+ allows end devices, such as IP phones, wireless access points, and other standards-compliant end devices, to be powered over Ethernet cables, eliminating the need to wire each device individually and install plug-in power supplies, which reduces the total cost of deploying a system.
In addition, the switches support both Permanent PoE and Fast PoE. Permanent PoE ensures critical devices can still be powered during a switch reboot, avoiding service interruptions due to power outages. The Fast PoE feature allows for faster device startup by quickly powering up endpoints once power is restored to the switch without waiting for the operating system to load.
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Features
The Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches support comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, which meet modern enterprise networks’ diverse and rich requirements. The rich feature set provides efficient, flexible, and secure network solutions for various application scenarios, adapting to modern enterprises’ network performance and security requirements.
Layer 2 Features
- Efficient Data Forwarding
- VLAN
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
- Access Control List (ACL)
Layer 3 Features
- Routing Protocol Support
- Full Flexible NetFlow:
- Programmability and Automation
- Enhanced Security
