Cisco Catalyst 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Managed Network Switch – 370W (C1300-48P-4G)

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-48P-4G is a high-performance, Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet managed switch designed for small to medium-sized businesses and branch offices requiring high port density and enterprise-grade features. With 48 PoE+ Gigabit ports and 4 dedicated 1G SFP uplinks, this switch provides a total PoE budget of 370W to power devices like IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points. Its 1U rack-mountable chassis with intelligent fan control ensures reliable operation while maintaining quieter operation. The C1300-48P-4G delivers advanced Layer 3 routing, robust security, energy efficiency, and front-panel stacking for scalable deployments.

Product Features

Layer 3 Routing

Supports static IPv4/IPv6 routing, RIP v2, Policy-Based Routing (PBR), and DHCP relay/server to efficiently manage traffic across multiple subnets.

VLAN and Network Segmentation

Supports up to 4,093 VLANs simultaneously, including port-based, 802.1Q tag-based, and MAC-based VLANs, allowing flexible, secure network segmentation.

PoE+ Power Delivery

Provides a 370W total PoE+ budget, delivering up to 30W per port in compliance with IEEE 802.3at to power IP phones, cameras, and access points.

Advanced Security

Includes IEEE 802.1X authentication, Access Control Lists (ACLs), DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard (IPSG), Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), and IPv6 First Hop Security to protect the network from unauthorized access and spoofing.

Stacking Support

Supports front-panel stacking of up to eight switches, enabling management of up to 384 ports as a single logical entity with one IP address.

Energy Efficiency

Compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standards to reduce power consumption on inactive links, optimizing operational costs.

Flexible Management

Can be managed via Web UI, CLI (SSH), Cisco Business Dashboard, or Cisco Business mobile app for streamlined configuration, monitoring, and maintenance.
