Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates at Layer 3, providing routing capabilities for scalable network segmentation and inter-VLAN routing without requiring an external router. Its switching fabric supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology, with four dedicated SFP+ expansion slots for 10GbE uplinks using optical fiber or DAC cables. This enables high-bandwidth aggregation links to core switches or servers, future-proofing network backbone capacity.
The integrated power supply delivers PoE+ (802.3at) across all 16 RJ-45 ports, with intelligent power management to allocate the 120W budget efficiently. Networking standards compliance is extensive, covering IEEE 802.3af/at for PoE, 802.1Q for VLANs, 802.1x for port-based authentication, 802.3ad for link aggregation, and 802.3az for Energy Efficient Ethernet.
This section brings together practical product details such as Features, Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Uplink Port, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the total PoE budget of this switch, and how many devices can it power?
The Cisco Catalyst C1300-16P-4X has a total PoE budget of 120 watts. This budget is dynamically allocated across all 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, each supporting the PoE+ (802.3at) standard. It can power multiple devices like IP phones (typically 3-7W each), wireless access points (10-20W), or surveillance cameras (up to 30W for PTZ models), with the exact number depending on the individual power draw of each connected device.
What types of uplink connections does the switch support?
The switch provides four SFP+ expansion slots for 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. These slots support SFP+ transceivers for optical fiber connections (10GBase-X) for long-distance runs, as well as direct-attach copper (DAC) cables for short-reach connections to servers or other switches. This flexibility allows you to choose the most cost-effective and suitable media type for your network backbone.
What does 'Layer 3 managed' mean for this switch?
Layer 3 managed means the switch can perform basic routing functions in addition to switching. It supports static routing and dynamic routing protocols like RIP and OSPF. This allows for inter-VLAN routing without a dedicated router, enabling more scalable and segmented network designs, improved traffic management between subnets, and enhanced security policies directly at the access layer.
Is this switch fanless, and what are the benefits?
Yes, this switch features a fanless design. The primary benefits are silent operation, making it ideal for office environments, wiring closets, or classrooms where noise reduction is important. Additionally, fanless designs have fewer moving parts, which can improve long-term reliability and reduce maintenance concerns compared to actively cooled switches.
What are the physical dimensions and how is it mounted?
The switch measures 1.73 inches in height, 10.56 inches in width, and 11.69 inches in depth (43.94 mm H x 268.22 mm W x 296.93 mm D). It weighs approximately 5.49 lbs (2.49 kg). It is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting, occupying 1 rack unit (1U) of vertical space. Mounting ears are included for secure installation in server racks or network cabinets.
What warranty comes with this refurbished switch?
