Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates as a fully manageable Layer 2 device, offering granular control over network traffic, VLAN configuration, and quality of service (QoS) policies. The port architecture includes 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports with PoE+ capability, delivering up to 30W per port and a total PoE budget of 740W to power multiple PoE devices concurrently.
For high-speed uplinks and backbone connectivity, the switch is equipped with four SFP+ expansion slots supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet via optical fiber or direct-attach copper cables. This modular flexibility allows network administrators to tailor uplink media—choosing between twisted pair for shorter runs or optical fiber for extended distances and higher data transmission rates.

User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The switch has a total PoE budget of 740W and supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), which delivers up to 30W per port. This allows it to power multiple PoE devices simultaneously, such as IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras. The exact number of devices depends on their individual power requirements, but the 740W budget provides substantial capacity for typical business deployments.
What types of uplink connections are supported?
This switch includes four SFP+ expansion slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. You can use SFP+ optical transceivers for fiber optic connections (10GBase-X) for longer distances, or SFP+ direct-attach copper (DAC) cables for shorter, cost-effective links. These uplinks provide high-speed connectivity to network cores, servers, or other switches.
Is this switch manageable, and what features does it offer?
Yes, this is a fully manageable Layer 2 switch. It offers web-based management for configuring VLANs to segment network traffic, quality of service (QoS) to prioritize critical applications, port security settings, and SNMP monitoring for network oversight. These features provide administrators with control over network performance, security, and scalability.
Can this switch be mounted in a standard server rack?
Absolutely. The switch has a 1U rack-mountable form factor, meaning it occupies one unit of vertical space in a standard 19-inch server rack. Its dimensions are 1.73 inches in height, 17.32 inches in width, and 13.78 inches in depth, making it compatible with typical rack enclosures. Rack mounting helps organize cables and secure the switch in professional installations.
What is the difference between the PoE ports and the SFP+ slots?
The 48 RJ-45 ports are Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ capability, used for connecting end devices like computers, phones, or access points while providing power. The four SFP+ slots are expansion slots for uplink connections, supporting 10 Gigabit speeds via fiber or copper. They are typically used to connect to other switches or network infrastructure, not for end devices.
What does 'refurbished' mean for this Cisco switch?
Refurbished indicates that this switch has been previously used or returned, then professionally tested, cleaned, and restored to full working condition. It undergoes quality checks to ensure it meets performance standards, often including firmware updates and component replacements if needed. This offers a cost-effective way to acquire reliable Cisco hardware with warranty coverage.
What uplink, SFP, fiber, or media support detail is listed?
The warranty or support detail listed is Yes, giving buyers a clearer picture of expected coverage after purchase.
Does the product support PoE or wireless networking?
Connectivity support is listed in the product specifications, including the relevant wireless or port options when available.
