Key Features
48 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports support high-density wired LAN connectivity.
4 × 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports provide high-speed fiber connectivity to a core, distribution switch, server, or storage network.
Managed network switch capabilities allow administrators to configure, monitor and control LAN traffic.
Rack-mountable form factor supports clean deployment in network closets, equipment rooms and structured cabling environments.
Non-PoE switch design is ideal for PCs, printers, servers, wired endpoints and installations that do not require switch-delivered power.
VLAN support enables logical network segmentation for users, departments, voice traffic, guest networks and IoT devices.
Quality of Service (QoS) policies help prioritize latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP, video conferencing and business-critical cloud traffic.
Access control and managed security settings help organizations protect the network and identify potential threats.
IPv4 and IPv6 readiness supports modern network deployments and gradual infrastructure transitions.
Link aggregation and high-speed 10G uplinks help increase backbone capacity and improve resiliency between network layers.
Designed as a Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series access switch for business and campus LAN environments.
Benefits
- Connects up to 48 wired endpoints from one managed Gigabit Ethernet switch, reducing the need for multiple access switches.
- Supports scalable network growth with four 10G SFP+ uplinks that prevent access-layer traffic from becoming constrained by a single Gigabit uplink.
- Improves network organization by separating departments, devices, voice traffic and guest access into controlled VLANs.
- Helps protect application performance through QoS controls for IP telephony, video meetings, cloud applications and real-time collaboration.
- Simplifies deployment in rack-based network environments with a professional, space-efficient switch design.
- Provides a practical non-PoE switching solution for environments dominated by data-only devices such as desktops, printers, servers and uplinked access switches.
- Gives IT teams the visibility and configuration control of a managed switch, which is important where network reliability and security are critical.
- Delivers a future-ready wired foundation with Gigabit access ports and 10 Gigabit fiber uplink flexibility.
