Cisco Catalyst C1300-24T-4G – Description
Managed Switch 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet + 4 Port SFP
Enterprise-Grade Connectivity and Port Density:
The Cisco Catalyst C1300-24T-4G Managed Switch is designed to deliver reliable, high-performance connectivity for small and medium-sized business networks. It features 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports combined with 4 dedicated Gigabit SFP uplink ports, providing a total of 28 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. This port configuration enables seamless integration of end devices such as PCs, IP phones, access points, and servers, while ensuring flexible fiber uplinks for backbone or aggregation connections.
High Performance Switching Architecture:
Built on Cisco’s proven switching technology, the C1300-24T-4G offers a switching capacity of 56 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 41.66 million packets per second (mpps) using 64-byte packets. This ensures smooth data flow, low latency, and consistent performance even during peak network usage. The switch is powered by an ARM dual-core 1.5 GHz CPU, supported by 1 GB DDR4 DRAM and a 1.5 MB packet buffer, enabling efficient handling of multiple simultaneous traffic streams.
Compact, Fanless, and Energy Efficient Design:
The Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series is known for its sleek and compact design, making it ideal for deployment beyond traditional wiring closets. With fanless operation, the C1300-24T-4G operates silently, making it perfectly suited for retail stores, open-plan offices, classrooms, and branch offices. Power consumption is highly efficient, drawing only 14.8W at 220V under normal operation and as low as 5.2W when idle, while maintaining low heat dissipation of 50.5 BTU/hr.
Simplified Management and Robust Hardware:
This managed switch includes both a Cisco RJ-45 console port and a USB Type-C console port, allowing easy local management and configuration. The front-panel USB Type-C port also supports file and image management for operational efficiency. With 1GB SLC flash storage, an internal power supply (100–240V, 50–60 Hz), and a strong MTBF of 664,987 hours at 25°C, the C1300-24T-4G is built for long-term reliability in demanding environments.
