Switch managed Cisco Catalyst 1300-48P-4G 48 Port GE PoE 4x1GE SFP

The Cisco Catalyst 1300-48P-4G is a fully managed Ethernet switch designed for small business networks. It provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports with PoE/PoE+ support and four 1GE SFP uplink slots, offering Layer 2/3 switching capabilities, a switching capacity of 104 Gbit/s and a MAC address table of 16,000 entries. The switch includes an intuitive web dashboard and advanced networking features for reliable and secure connectivity.

Advantages

The Catalyst 1300-48P-4G combines PoE+ power delivery with full L2/L3 functionality in a compact managed switch, enabling centralized device power and data management. Its 48 Gigabit ports and four SFP uplinks allow flexible network expansion, while support for common IEEE networking standards ensures interoperability and secure network operations. The grey, rack-friendly design simplifies deployment in small office environments.

Suitable for

• Small and branch office networks requiring centralized PoE power for IP phones, wireless access points and cameras
• Environments needing managed Layer 2/3 switching with VLANs and routing
• Networks that require multiple SFP uplinks for fiber connectivity or aggregation

How to use

Mount the switch in a rack or place it on a stable surface, connect the uplink SFP ports to your core network or fiber links, and attach devices to the Gigabit PoE ports. Access the built-in web dashboard to configure VLANs, L2/L3 settings, QoS and security policies. Verify PoE power budgets before connecting powered devices and monitor port status and traffic through the management interface.

Recommendations

Plan VLAN segmentation and PoE load distribution in advance; ensure firmware is updated and backup configurations are stored off-device to maintain stable and secure operation.
