Cisco Catalyst 1300 24-Port Managed PoE+ Rack Switch

The Cisco C1300-24FP-4X is a managed switch that combines twenty-four Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ and four 10-Gigabit SFP+ uplinks, giving small businesses an easy way to power and connect IP phones, cameras, wireless access points, and desktop computers through a single rack-mountable unit.

With support for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions, the switch can handle everything from simple VLAN segmentation to inter-VLAN routing, so voice, video, and data traffic stay organized and responsive as the network grows. A 375-watt PoE+ budget allows you to expand the number of powered devices without adding separate power adapters or running new electrical lines. Per-port power management helps keep critical equipment online even during high-demand periods.

An intuitive web-based dashboard guides you through setup, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Tasks such as creating VLANs, applying quality-of-service policies, and setting security controls can be completed in minutes, making the switch practical for offices that do not have a full-time network engineer on staff.

The included rack ears let you slide the unit into a standard 19-inch rack alongside servers, storage, and security appliances. Whether you are equipping a retail store, professional office, co-working space, or branch location, the Catalyst 1300 series provides the bandwidth, scalability, and reliability needed to support modern business applications.
