The Cisco Catalyst C1300-24P-4X is a fanless, fully managed Layer 3 Gigabit access switch for SMB and branch networks that need quiet operation, PoE+ power, and 10G uplinks. It provides 24 × 1G PoE+ downlinks (up to 30 W/port) and four 10G SFP+ uplinks, delivering non-blocking performance with a 128 Gbps switching fabric and 95.23 Mpps forwarding. With a 195 W PoE budget, advanced L2/L3 services (static, RIP v2, PBR), granular QoS, and robust security (802.1X, DHCP snooping, IPSG, DAI), it powers APs, phones, and cameras while remaining silent. Operations are streamlined via Web UI/CLI/SSH, SNMP, the embedded Cisco Business Dashboard probe, and PnP.
