The Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series Switch, Model C1300-24P-4G, is a fixed-configuration, enterprise-class managed Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to provide reliable, secure, and high-performance network connectivity for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Equipped with (24) 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 PoE+ ports delivering up to 30W per port under a robust 195W total PoE budget, this switch efficiently powers modern voice, video, and data endpoints such as IP phones, high-definition surveillance cameras, and wireless access points without requiring separate electrical wiring. In addition, (4) dedicated Gigabit SFP optical ports provide flexible, high-speed fiber uplink connections to core network infrastructure or across longer distribution distances.
Powered by an advanced ARM dual-core processor operating at 1.4 GHz, paired with 1 GB of RAM and 512 MB of Flash memory, the C1300-24P-4G delivers non-blocking wire-speed switching performance with a switching capacity of 56 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 41.67 Mpps. It supports advanced Layer 3 capabilities, including static routing and inter-VLAN routing, allowing organizations to segment their network for enhanced traffic optimization and security without requiring complex core routing hardware.
Key Features & Advanced Capabilities:
Reliable Power over Ethernet (195W Budget): Supplies IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power across ports, making it an ideal, cost-effective solution for deploying standard IP cameras, VoIP phones, and access points.
Gigabit Fiber Uplinks: Features (4) built-in SFP optical slots supporting 1G fiber transceivers or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables for reliable, high-speed backbone connections.
Layer 3 Static Routing: Supports IPv4 and IPv6 static routing for inter-VLAN communication, reducing traffic load on the primary router and improving overall network efficiency.
Comprehensive Network Security: Incorporates enterprise-grade security mechanisms including IEEE 802.1X port security, Access Control Lists (ACLs), Secure Shell (SSH) encryption, RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication, and safeguards against Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks.
Flexible Management Options: Simplifies configuration, provisioning, and monitoring through an intuitive HTML-based Web User Interface, Command Line Interface (CLI), SNMP, and centralized management via the Cisco Business Dashboard.
Energy-Efficient Design: Complies with Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) standards to reduce power consumption during periods of low data activity, complemented by an optimized, quiet thermal design suitable for office environments.
