Cisco Catalyst C1300-24P-4G 24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Managed Switch
The Cisco Catalyst C1300-24P-4G is an enterprise-class Layer 3 managed switch designed for small and medium-sized businesses and branch offices. Featuring 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports with a 195W power budget and 4 Gigabit SFP uplinks, this switch simplifies deployment by powering IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras directly over Ethernet cables. With 56 Gbps switching capacity and advanced security features including IEEE 802.1X authentication and Access Control Lists, it delivers reliable, secure connectivity for modern digital workspaces.
Key Features
-
24 Gigabit PoE+ Ports: Each port supports up to 30W of power (IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+) with a total 195W power budget, eliminating the need for separate power supplies for connected devices
-
4 Gigabit SFP Uplinks: Dedicated fiber uplink ports enable high-speed connectivity to core switches and aggregation layers, ideal for distances beyond 100 meters
-
Layer 3 Static Routing: Supports IPv4 and IPv6 static routing with up to 990 routes, enabling network segmentation and inter-VLAN routing without overloading core routers
-
56 Gbps Switching Capacity: Wire-speed, non-blocking performance with 41.66 Mpps forwarding rate ensures smooth data transmission
-
Fanless Design: Passively cooled for silent operation, perfect for office, classroom, and retail environments
-
Advanced Security: IEEE 802.1X port authentication, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP inspection, IP Source Guard, and DoS attack prevention protect your network
-
Energy Efficient: IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) reduces power consumption on inactive links
-
Intuitive Management: Managed via Cisco Business Dashboard, mobile app, web UI, or CLI for flexible administration
Simplified Network Management
The C1300-24P-4G supports multiple management options to suit your workflow. Use the Cisco Business Dashboard for centralized multi-device management, the Cisco Business mobile app for on-the-go monitoring, or connect via web browser or CLI for traditional configuration. The switch supports dual images, allowing software upgrades with minimal network downtime.
Power Over Ethernet Capabilities
With PoE+ support on all 24 ports, this switch can power a wide range of devices including VoIP phones, wireless access points, IP surveillance cameras, and IoT devices. The 195W total power budget allows multiple devices to be powered simultaneously, simplifying cabling and reducing installation costs.
Connectivity & Performance
The switch provides 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ RJ-45 ports and 4 Gigabit SFP slots for fiber uplinks. It supports 16,000 MAC address entries, 4,093 VLAN IDs, 8 link aggregation groups, and jumbo frames up to 9,000 bytes. Quality of Service (QoS) with 8 priority queues ensures voice and video traffic prioritization.
