Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy a genuine Cisco Catalyst switch in Dubai?
FSI Technology is a certified Cisco supplier in Dubai, stocking genuine Cisco Catalyst switches with full warranty and fast delivery across the UAE.
Does the C9500-48Y4C-E support PoE?
No, the C9500-48Y4C-E is a data only core and aggregation switch with fiber optic interfaces, so it does not provide PoE. It is designed to sit above access layer switches rather than power endpoint devices directly.
What is the difference between the C9500-48Y4C-E and the C9500-24Y4C-A?
The C9500-48Y4C-E offers double the port count at 48 SFP28 ports and ships with Network Essentials licensing, while the C9500-24Y4C-A has 24 SFP28 ports with Network Advantage licensing for advanced routing, segmentation, and MACsec encryption. Choose the 48Y4C-E for higher port density and choose the 24Y4C-A when advanced Layer 3 features are required out of the box.
