Enterprise-Class Performance
Built on a customised Linux OS platform, the Catalyst C1300-24FP-4G delivers 56 Gbps switching capacity and 41.66 Mpps forwarding rate for high-performance network operations. The switch features a dual-core ARM processor up to 1.4 GHz, 1 GB DDR4 memory, and 16,000-entry MAC address table to handle demanding business applications with ease.
-
Layer 3 Static Routing: Segment your network into workgroups and enable seamless inter-VLAN communication
-
Front Panel Stacking: Stack up to 8 switches as a single virtual unit with one IP address
-
IPv6 Ready: Full IPv6 support ensures future-proof network infrastructure
-
QoS Support: Prioritise critical traffic for optimal application performance
Power Over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
All 24 Gigabit ports support IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+, delivering up to 30W per port with a 370W total power budget. Power IP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras, and other network devices directly through Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for separate power supplies and reducing installation costs.
-
370W PoE Budget: Ample power for up to 12 devices at maximum 30W per port
-
Dynamic Power Allocation: Intelligent power management across all PoE ports
-
Perpetual PoE: Maintains power to critical devices during switch reboots
-
Standards Compliant: Supports both 802.3af (15.4W) and 802.3at (30W) devices
Advanced Security Features
Protect your business network with comprehensive security features including IEEE 802.1X authentication, port security, and advanced defence mechanisms. Dynamic ARP inspection, IP Source Guard, and DHCP snooping detect and block deliberate network attacks, while web-based authentication provides consistent host device authentication without complex client deployment.
Simple Management
The Catalyst 1300 Series is managed through the intuitive Cisco Business Dashboard and Cisco Business mobile app, simplifying network setup and ongoing operations. The switch also supports traditional management via Web UI, CLI, and SNMP for flexible administration options.
