Product Overview

The Cisco C1300‑24P‑4G is a 24-port Gigabit PoE+ managed Ethernet switch from Cisco’s Catalyst 1300 series, designed for medium-sized offices, retail stores, branch networks, or enterprise-edge deployments. It provides high-performance data switching with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+) support, allowing devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points to receive both power and data over a single cable. Furthermore, it includes four SFP uplink ports for fiber connectivity to the network backbone.

Product Features (in detail)

• 24 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 PoE+ ports + 4 × 1 Gbps SFP uplinks: This switch supplies 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports (up to 30 W per port) and four fiber-capable SFP uplinks for flexible network integration.

• Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+) support (370 W total budget): It can power devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones without separate power adapters, which reduces cabling and deployment complexity.

• Managed Layer 2 + static Layer 3 capabilities: The switch supports VLANs, inter-VLAN static routing, IPv4/IPv6, QoS, ACLs, multicast control, and other traffic management features for professional network segmentation.

• Fanless, silent, and energy-efficient design: Because it uses passive cooling, it operates quietly, making it ideal for offices, classrooms, and other noise-sensitive environments.

• High switching capacity and performance: The switch delivers 56 Gbps switching capacity and a forwarding rate of 41.67 million packets per second (mpps), ensuring smooth performance under high traffic.

• Flexible management and security: You can manage it via Web UI, CLI, SNMP, or Cisco Business Dashboard. Security features include ACLs, 802.1X authentication, DHCP snooping, and ARP inspection.

Why Choose This Switch

You should choose the Cisco C1300‑24P‑4G because it provides enterprise-grade features in a compact, quiet, and energy-efficient design. For medium-sized offices, retail stores, or branch networks that require both high-speed connectivity and PoE power, this switch delivers exceptional value.

Additionally, its managed nature, support for VLANs, QoS, multicast, and robust security features ensures reliable and efficient network operation. Moreover, the four SFP uplink ports allow seamless integration into larger network infrastructures.
