Cisco Catalyst 1300 C1300-48P-4G

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-48P-4G is a fully managed, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), enterprise branches, schools, and retail environments. As part of the Catalyst 1300 Series, it combines robust Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 networking capabilities with 48 PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) ports, making it ideal for powering and connecting IP phones, Wi-Fi access points, surveillance cameras, and other IoT devices. It offers 4 dedicated Gigabit SFP uplink ports for flexible, high-speed fiber or copper connectivity to the core network, all in a compact 1U rack-mountable form factor.

Key Features & Benefits

High-Density PoE+ Connectivity: 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+, delivering up to 30W per port with a total power budget of 370W. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters and reduces cabling complexity.
Flexible Uplink Ports: 4 Gigabit SFP ports provide high-bandwidth, long-distance fiber uplinks or connections to aggregation/core switches, ensuring scalable network design.
Powerful Performance: Equipped with an ARM dual-core 1.4GHz CPU and 1GB DDR4 memory, it delivers a 104 Gbps switching capacity and 77.38 Mpps packet forwarding rate for low-latency, high-throughput performance.
Advanced Layer 2 & Layer 3 Features: Supports static IPv4/IPv6 routing, 4093 VLANs, ACL (Access Control Lists), QoS (8 queues per port), Link Aggregation (LACP), Jumbo Frames (9,000 bytes), and STP/RSTP/MSTP for resilient network operation.
Comprehensive Security: Features 802.1X port-based authentication, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), IP Source Guard, DoS protection, and SSH/SSL encryption to safeguard against unauthorized access and network threats.
Simplified Management: Intuitive management via web GUI, CLI, SNMP, or Cisco Business Dashboard (including mobile app) for centralized monitoring and configuration. Supports dual firmware images for safe, zero-downtime upgrades.
Energy Efficiency: Complies with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to reduce power consumption, lowering operational costs.
Reliable & Compact: Standard 1U rack-mountable design for easy deployment in server rooms or wiring closets.
