48-Port Managed Network Switches
The 48 port switch range here is all managed, rack-mount enterprise hardware for dense access closets and top-of-rack server rows, with access ports at 10/100, 1G, 10G or 25G. Gigabit choices include the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X, 9200L and 9300 and Juniper EX2300 to EX4300, and for server racks there are the Cisco Nexus 9372PX, 93108TC-EX and 93180YC-EX, Juniper QFX5100 and Dell S4148 and S5248F models. Each one is tested in our lab and backed by a 2-year warranty.

The access speed decides the job
At 48 ports, gigabit models connect desks, phones and access points, and 10G and 25G models connect servers at the top of the rack. The uplinks scale with the access speed, according to each maker's data sheet:
| Access ports | Model on this page | Uplinks |
|---|---|---|
| 48 x 1G | Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960X-48TD-L | 2 x 10G SFP+ |
| 48 x 1G | Juniper EX2300-48T | 4 x 10GbE SFP/SFP+ |
| 48 x 100M/1G BASE-T | Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP | 4 x 1/10/25G SFP28 and 2 x 40/100G QSFP28 |
| 48 x 100M/1G/10GBASE-T | Cisco Nexus 93108TC-EX | 6 x 40/100G QSFP28 |
| 48 x 100M/1G/10G RJ-45 | Juniper QFX5100-48T | 6 x 40G QSFP+ |
| 48 x 1/10/25G | Cisco Nexus 93180YC-EX | 6 x 40/100G QSFP28 |
The Catalyst 9300 works differently: the C9300-48P, C9300-48T and C9300-48U take modular uplinks, and Cisco's default C9300 configuration does not include a network module, so name the module you need when you request a quote. Cisco's StackWise-480 joins up to eight C9300 switches with 480 Gbps of stack bandwidth.
