Cisco Catalyst 1300-24P-4G Managed Switch, 24 Port GE, PoE, 4x1GE SFP,(C1300-24P-4G)

Cisco Catalyst C1300-24P-4G is a high-performance, fully managed gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small to medium-sized business networks and branch office deployments. With 24 PoE+ enabled 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and 4 dedicated 1 Gb SFP uplinks, this switch supports high-density connectivity, powers edge devices such as wireless access points or IP cameras, and offers advanced Layer 2/3 management, security and reliability features—all in a compact rack-mount form factor.

Product Features

24 Gigabit PoE+ Ports

Twenty-four 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to supply both data and power over a single cable to edge devices such as wireless APs, VoIP phones, IP cameras or other powered network endpoints.

Four 1 Gb SFP Uplink Ports

Includes four 1 Gb SFP uplink ports (fiber or SFP modules) enabling flexible link options for uplink/backbone connections, allowing network extension and high-speed aggregation.

Full Layer 2/3 Managed-Switch Capability

Supports advanced features such as VLANs (including 802.1Q, private VLANs, Q-in-Q), link-aggregation (LACP), spanning tree variants (PVST+, RPVST+, MSTP), static routing, ACLs, IPv6 first-hop security, DHCP snooping and dynamic ARP inspection to ensure segmentation, security and performance in evolving business networks.

High Switching Capacity and Forwarding Rate

Provides a switching capacity of approximately 56.0 Gbps and a forwarding rate of around 41.66 Mpps (64-byte packets) for this model, allowing wire-speed performance across all ports under heavy load.

Fanless Design (in many models) & Compact Deployment

The C1300-24P-4G is listed as fanless (in many mentions) which means quieter operation—useful for offices or open spaces. Its rack-mountable 1U format (with mounting brackets) suits wiring closets and branch installations.

PoE Power Budget and Energy-Efficient Operation

This model offers a PoE+ budget to power multiple devices (listed as 195 W for the 24-port PoE+ variant) and includes energy-efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) and automatic port power features for reduced operational cost.
