Cisco Catalyst 24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Managed Network Switch (C1300-24P-4X)

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-24P-4X is a high-performance Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet managed switch designed for small to medium-sized businesses and branch offices. It features 24 PoE+ Gigabit ports alongside 4 high-speed 10G SFP+ uplink ports, enabling network aggregation while powering devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The fanless design ensures silent operation, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments like open offices. With advanced Layer 3 routing, robust security, and “true stacking” capability, this switch delivers enterprise-class performance, scalability, and energy efficiency.

Product Features

Layer 3 Routing

Supports wire-speed IPv4 static routing, up to 990 static routes, and 128 IP interfaces for efficient inter-VLAN communication and traffic management.

VLAN and Advanced Network Segmentation

Handles up to 4,093 simultaneous VLANs, including port-based, 802.1Q, MAC-based, and Private VLANs for flexible, secure network configurations.

PoE+ Power Delivery

Provides a total PoE budget of 195W, supporting up to 30W per port to power IP phones, cameras, and access points. Full PoE models can provide up to 370W if higher power is required.

True Stacking Technology

Supports stacking of up to 8 switches using 10G SFP+ uplinks, with a unified data, control, and management plane. Features Fast Stack Link Failover for sub-second recovery during link failures.

Advanced Security

Includes IEEE 802.1X authentication, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), IP Source Guard, IPv6 First Hop Security, RA Guard, ND Inspection, DHCPv6 Guard, and runtime defenses like Executable Space Protection (X-Space) and ASLR.

Fanless and Energy-Efficient Design

Silent, fanless operation ensures 0 dB noise output. Energy-efficient Ethernet compliant with IEEE 802.3az reduces power consumption during periods of low network traffic.

Flexible Management

Easily managed via Web UI, CLI, Cisco Business Dashboard, or mobile app, with console access through RJ-45 and USB Type-C ports for configuration, file management, and firmware upgrades.
