Managed Layer 3 Switching and PoE+ for a Growing Office
The Cisco Catalyst C1300-16P-4X is a managed Layer 3 Gigabit switch built for small and medium businesses and branch offices. It combines 16 Gigabit PoE+ ports with four 10G SFP+ uplinks, so it powers phones, cameras, and access points at the edge while reaching a 10-gigabit core over fiber. Cisco's Business Dashboard and mobile app keep setup and day-to-day management simple. Explore more Cisco gear or other PoE switches.
Deployment Notes
Part of the Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series, the C1300-16P-4X is designed to drop straight into a wiring closet or a rack in a branch office. Its 16 PoE+ ports feed powered devices directly, and four 10 Gigabit SFP+ slots give you fiber or copper uplinks to an aggregation layer. Layer 3 routing lets the switch segment and move traffic between networks, while a customized Linux operating system runs an intuitive dashboard with the security features business-critical traffic needs. A fanless design keeps it quiet enough for an occupied office space.
