Router Cisco C1101-4P — router da tavolo Integrated Services, 4 porte Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), GE WAN, USB 3+, 1 anno di garanzia

The Cisco C1101-4P is a compact tabletop Integrated Services router designed to deliver reliable wired connectivity and secure WAN access for small offices and remote sites. It provides four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and a GE Ethernet WAN interface, USB 3+ connectivity and 4 GB internal memory, packaged in a low-power, grey enclosure. The device runs on Cisco IOS XE Software and supports modern encryption standards to help maintain network security while preserving a small physical footprint and efficient heat dissipation.

Advantages

The router combines multiple functions—routing, WAN connectivity and security—into a single unit, reducing hardware complexity at branch locations. Its four Gigabit Ethernet ports provide high-throughput wired connections for workstations and networked devices, while the GE WAN port supports reliable uplink performance. USB 3+ connectivity enables flexible peripheral or failover options. The small, low-power design is suited to space-constrained environments and contributes to lower energy consumption. Built-in support for AES and WPA2 security provides baseline protection for data in transit.

Suitable for

• Small office networks requiring stable wired LAN connections
• Remote or branch sites needing secure WAN access
• Installations with limited rack or desk space where a tabletop router is preferred
• Environments that benefit from low power consumption and efficient heat dissipation

Key specifications

• LAN ports: 4 × Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45)
• WAN interface: GE Ethernet WAN
• USB: USB 3+ connectivity for peripherals or failover
• Internal memory: 4 GB
• Power: AC 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz
• Security: AES encryption and WPA2 support
• Form factor: Tabletop, compact grey enclosure

How to use

Place the router on a stable tabletop surface near your network cabling and power outlet. Connect required devices to the four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and attach your WAN link to the GE WAN interface. Use the USB 3+ port for supported peripherals or as a secondary connectivity option if required. Power the unit from an AC 100–240 V supply and complete initial configuration through the Cisco IOS XE management interface or a compatible network management tool, defining routing, security policies and WAN settings according to your network topology.

Recommendations

For best performance and security, position the Cisco C1101-4P in a ventilated area to ensure adequate heat dissipation, keep firmware and IOS XE software up to date, and configure AES-based encryption and WPA2 where wireless access or bridging features are used. Regularly back up configuration files and monitor port utilization to plan for growth or additional devices.
