The Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series Switch, Model C1300-24FP-4X, is a next-generation fixed-configuration managed Gigabit Ethernet switch engineered to serve as the critical access layer and aggregation backbone for growing small-to-medium businesses, enterprise branch offices, and commercial deployments.
Featuring (24) 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 PoE+ ports with a dedicated 375W Full Power Budget, this unit delivers consistent, uninterrupted Power over Ethernet (802.3af/at) to power-dense deployments—including Wi-Fi 6/6E Wireless Access Points, High-Definition PTZ IP Surveillance Cameras, and IP Telephony systems. The switch is anchored by (4) 10-Gigabit SFP+ optical ports for ultra-low latency, high-bandwidth uplinks directly to core network infrastructure or high-performance servers.
Driven by a powerful ARM dual-core 1.4 GHz processor with 1 GB DDR4 RAM and 512 MB Flash memory, the C1300-24FP-4X operates with an internal 128 Gbps switching capacity and a 95.23 Mpps forwarding rate. It supports dynamic True Stacking (up to 8 switches per stack), permitting centralized management and unified configuration across up to 400 total ports under a single IP address.
Detailed Hardware & Network Capabilities:
Full Power over Ethernet (375W PoE Budget): Delivers up to 30W per port (IEEE 802.3at PoE+), enabling all 24 ports to run standard PoE simultaneously or up to 12 ports at full 30W PoE+ capacity without power starving.
High-Speed Uplink & Stacking Flexibility: (4) 10G SFP+ slots support both short/long-reach fiber transceivers (SR/LR) and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, allowing dual-purpose deployment as high-speed uplinks or dedicated inter-switch stacking channels.
Advanced Layer 3 Routing Infrastructure: Supports wire-speed IPv4 and IPv6 static routing, Dynamic Routing via RIP v2, Policy-Based Routing (PBR), inter-VLAN routing, and localized DHCP server/relay functionality.
Enterprise Security Architecture: Integrated IEEE 802.1X port authentication, RADIUS/TACACS+ integration, Advanced Access Control Lists (ACLs), IP Source Guard, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), Secure Shell (SSH), and DoS attack prevention.
Intuitive Network Management & Operations: Simplified administration via an HTML-based Web User Interface, Command Line Interface (CLI), SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard, and direct front-panel USB-C console and storage ports.
Energy-Efficient & Quiet Thermal Design: Incorporates Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) standards and a smart-regulated single cooling fan operating at low noise levels (~39 dBA) for quiet rackmount operation.
