Cisco - C1300-24XTS 24-Port Managed Layer 3 Network Switch, 12 x 10G Copper RJ45 & 12 x 10G SFP+, 480 Gbps, 1U Stackable - Gray

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-24XTS is a fully managed, enterprise-class Layer 3 network switch built for small and medium-sized businesses, branch offices, and growing 10-gigabit networks. This 24-port switch delivers twelve 10GBASE-T RJ45 copper ports and twelve 10G SFP+ fiber ports, giving network administrators the flexibility to mix high-speed copper runs with long-distance fiber uplinks for server aggregation, high-bandwidth workstations, storage, and backbone connectivity. A non-blocking 480 Gbps switching fabric and 357.12 Mpps forwarding rate deliver wire-speed performance across every port, while 8 MB of packet buffer and support for 9000-byte jumbo frames keep demanding applications moving. The C1300-24XTS supports front-panel hardware stacking of up to eight switches managed as a single unit, dynamic Layer 3 routing with up to 7168 IPv4 routes, static routes, RIPv2, Policy-Based Routing, and up to 4093 VLANs for advanced traffic segmentation. Built-in security includes 802.1X port authentication, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, Private VLANs, and IPv6 First Hop Security. Management is simple with the Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, web GUI, CLI, SNMP v1/2c/3, and an out-of-band Gigabit Ethernet management port. This rack-mountable 1U switch is ideal for SMB data closets, server rooms, and branch office backbones that need reliable 10G connectivity, advanced Layer 3 features, and strong security.

• 24 Ports of 10-Gigabit Copper and Fiber Flexibility: Twelve 10GBASE-T RJ45 copper ports deliver high-speed connectivity to workstations, servers, and access points over standard Cat6a or better cabling, while twelve 10G SFP+ fiber slots provide flexible uplinks for long-distance runs, server aggregation, and inter-building links. A dedicated Gigabit Ethernet out-of-band management port keeps administrative traffic separate from the production network.
• 480 Gbps Non-Blocking Switching, 357.12 Mpps Forwarding: Wire-speed, non-blocking hardware delivers 480 Gbps of switching capacity and 357.12 million packets per second forwarding with 64-byte packets. An 8 MB aggregate packet buffer and support for 9000-byte jumbo frames keep high-throughput workloads like storage replication, video streaming, virtualization, and backup traffic moving without bottlenecks or dropped packets.
• Managed Layer 3 Routing with Static, RIPv2, and PBR: Fully managed Layer 3 switching supports static IPv4 and IPv6 routing, RIPv2 dynamic routing, Policy-Based Routing, DHCP server and relay, and up to 7168 IPv4 routes with 256 IP interfaces. Up to 4093 VLANs, Private VLANs, Voice VLAN, and Quality of Service with 8 hardware queues deliver advanced traffic segmentation and prioritization for voice, video, and data applications.
• Stackable up to 8 Switches with Unified Management: Front-panel hardware stacking lets you combine up to eight Catalyst 1300 Family 2 switches into a single logical unit managed through one IP address, simplifying administration and delivering fast stack failover, cross-stack link aggregation, cross-stack QoS, VLANs, and port mirroring for scalable, resilient network growth as your business expands.
• Strong Security and Cisco Business Dashboard Management: Security features include 802.1X port authentication, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, Private VLANs, Storm Control, up to 2048 ACL rules, and IPv6 First Hop Security. Deploy and monitor via the Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, web GUI, full CLI, or SNMP v1/2c/3 for simple, centralized administration across branch offices and SMB networks.
