Cisco Catalyst 1300 C1300-48T-4G

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-48T-4G is a high-density, fully managed Gigabit Ethernet switch belonging to the Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series. Tailored for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), enterprise branch offices, schools, and healthcare facilities, it provides robust Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 routing capabilities. This model is purpose-built for high-density data connectivity, offering 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports for end devices and 4 dedicated SFP uplink ports for flexible fiber or high-speed copper aggregation to the core network.

Key Features & Benefits

High-Density Connectivity: 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports support seamless connection for PCs, servers, and printers. 4 dedicated Gigabit SFP ports offer flexible, high-bandwidth uplinks to fiber or copper backbones.
Strong Performance: Powered by an ARM dual-core 1.4 GHz processor with 1GB DDR4 memory, it delivers a non-blocking switching capacity of 104 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 77.38 Mpps, ensuring low-latency performance for high-traffic environments.
Advanced Layer 2 & Layer 3 Capabilities: Supports comprehensive features including static routing (IPv4/IPv6), VLAN (4093), ACLs, QoS (8 queues per port), Link Aggregation (LACP), and Jumbo Frames (up to 9,000 bytes).
Robust Security: Implements 802.1X port-based authentication, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), IP Source Guard, and Secure Shell (SSH/SSL) to protect the network from unauthorized access and common attacks.
Flexible Management: Intuitive management via web GUI, industry-standard CLI, SNMP, or Cisco Business Dashboard. Supports stacking up to 8 units, managed as a single entity with one IP address.
Energy-Efficient & Quiet: Designed with energy-efficient hardware (IEEE 802.3az) and a quiet, fan-cooled design, suitable for deployment in noise-sensitive office and classroom environments.
Reliable & Compact: 1U rack-mountable form factor for easy integration into standard server rooms or wiring closets.
