The switch features 24×10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/at) downlink ports with up to 30W per port and 4×1G SFP fixed uplink ports for flexible fibre backbone access. With a total PoE budget of 195W, the switch can power up to 24 devices directly, including IP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras and IoT endpoints, all through a single Ethernet connection. The switch is powered by 1.4GHz dual core ARM CPU with 1GB DDR4 DRAM and 512MB flash memory, providing non-blocking switching capacity of 56 Gbps and wire-speed forwarding rate of 41.66 million packets per second (Mpps). The fanless chassis means it runs silently, making it ideal for open-plan workplaces, classrooms and other noise-sensitive areas. It supports 16,000 MAC address entries, up to 4,093 VLANs, jumbo frames up to 9,000 bytes and static IPv4/IPv6 routing.

Administration options include Cisco Business Dashboard, an attractive web UI, CLI, mobile app and Network Plug & Play for zero-touch deployment. Advanced security features for secure network protection including IEEE 802.1X port authentication, ACLs (up to 1,024 rules), IP-MAC port binding, DoS attack prevention, DHCP snooping, and IPv6 First Hop Security. The switch supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to reduce power consumption, and no subscription or licensing costs are needed. The C1300-24P-4G series is built for secure office connectivity, unified communications and highly secure guest networking for SMBs, retail outlets, classrooms and branch office access layers. It's covered by Cisco's Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty and one year of free technical support.
