Cisco Catalyst 1300 24-Port Managed Rack-Mountable Switch

The Cisco C1300-24FP-4G is a managed network switch that gives small and growing businesses an easy way to deliver secure, reliable connectivity to every corner of the office. With twenty-four Gigabit Ethernet ports that support PoE+, the switch can supply up to 370 watts of combined power to devices such as IP phones, surveillance cameras, and wireless access points, all through the same cables that carry data.

Four dedicated Gigabit SFP uplink ports let you attach fiber links to a core switch or extend connectivity to a remote wiring closet without sacrificing any of the main copper ports. This flexibility makes the switch a practical fit for branch offices, retail stores, classrooms, or any site that needs to mix high-speed desktop connections with longer-distance uplinks.

Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities give network administrators the tools to segment traffic, build virtual networks, and route between VLANs while maintaining performance. Management is straightforward thanks to an intuitive web dashboard that presents configuration options and real-time status in clear language, so day-to-day tasks do not require deep command-line expertise.

Under the hood, a 1.4 GHz ARM processor and DDR4 memory provide the processing headroom needed to keep services responsive as more users and devices come online. Because the switch occupies a standard rack unit, it slides neatly into existing equipment racks and blends into environments where space and cable management matter.

For businesses that want to expand their network without compromising security or performance, the Cisco C1300-24FP-4G delivers the power budget, port density, and feature set that make future growth straightforward.
