The Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series Switch, Model C1300-24P-4X, is an enterprise-class, fixed-configuration managed Gigabit Ethernet switch engineered to deliver exceptional performance, high-speed uplinks, and reliable power delivery for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networks and branch offices. Equipped with (24) 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 PoE+ ports providing up to 30W per port under a reliable 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.
A key highlight of the C1300-24P-4X is its inclusion of (4) high-speed 10-Gigabit SFP+ optical uplink ports, enabling ultra-low latency, high-bandwidth backbone connections directly to core network switches, data storage, or high-performance servers. 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 switch delivers non-blocking wire-speed switching performance. 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:
Gigabit PoE+ Power Delivery (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 wireless access points.
10G SFP+ High-Speed Uplinks: Features (4) built-in 10G SFP+ optical slots supporting high-speed 10G fiber transceivers and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables for high-capacity backbone integration.
Layer 3 Static Routing: Supports IPv4 and IPv6 static routing for efficient 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 thermal design suitable for office and enterprise rack environments.
