Product Information
Full details
The Cisco Catalyst 1300-16P-4X is a high-performance, managed L2/L3 switch designed specifically for small businesses seeking professional-grade connectivity without the need for a dedicated IT department. It provides a robust 120W PoE+ budget to power essential hardware like IP cameras and access points, while offering 10GE SFP+ uplinks for rapid data throughput; however, users should ensure their power requirements do not exceed the 120W limit when connecting multiple high-draw devices simultaneously.
