Four SFP slots allow for fiber connectivity, long-distance links, or additional network segmentation without sacrificing copper port availability.
- Fiber uplink support
- Future expansion capability
- Mixed media deployment
Enterprise Management
Comprehensive management features including VLAN support, link aggregation, quality of service, and security protocols provide control over network traffic and access.
- VLAN segmentation
- Link aggregation
- Access control
Deployment / Use Cases
The C1300-24T-4G-RF is well-suited for wiring closets, server rooms, and network distribution points where a balance of copper port density and fiber expansion is required. Its 1U form factor makes it ideal for standard 19-inch racks in data centers, network closets, or telecom rooms.
Typical deployments include connecting workstations and servers in office environments, providing aggregation for access switches, or serving as a core switch for small networks. The fiber expansion slots enable connections to other switches over longer distances or integration into existing fiber infrastructure.
Office Network Core
Serve as the central switching point for an office floor or department, connecting workstations, printers, and wireless access points while providing fiber uplinks to other network segments.
Server Room Distribution
Connect multiple servers and storage devices in a rack environment, with SFP ports available for high-speed connections to core switches or storage networks.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 1.73 inches in height (43.94 mm), 17.50 inches in width (444.50 mm), and 9.45 inches in depth (240.03 mm), fitting standard 1U rack spaces. Weighing approximately 5.80 pounds (2630 g), the unit is lightweight yet durable for rack installation. The rack-mountable design includes appropriate mounting hardware for secure installation in network cabinets or server racks.

FAQ
What is the port configuration of this Cisco switch?
The Cisco Catalyst C1300-24T-4G-RF features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports for copper connections using RJ-45 connectors, plus four SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) expansion slots. These SFP slots support fiber optic transceivers for longer-distance connections or additional network segmentation. The switch also includes uplink port capability for connecting to other network devices.
What does Layer 3 switching mean for this switch?
Layer 3 switching indicates this switch can perform routing functions between different network segments or VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). Unlike basic Layer 2 switches that only forward traffic within the same network, this switch can make routing decisions based on IP addresses, enabling more efficient traffic flow between separate networks without requiring a separate router.
Is this switch manageable, and what management features does it support?
Yes, this is a fully manageable switch supporting comprehensive management protocols. It includes support for VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q), link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad), quality of service (IEEE 802.1p), network access control (IEEE 802.1x), and various other enterprise networking standards. These features allow network administrators to segment traffic, combine multiple links for higher bandwidth, prioritize critical applications, and control device access to the network.
What are the physical dimensions and rack mounting specifications?
The switch measures 1.73 inches in height, 17.50 inches in width, and 9.45 inches in depth, with a weight of approximately 5.80 pounds. It is designed for standard 1U rack mounting in 19-inch network cabinets or server racks. The compact form factor makes efficient use of rack space while providing substantial port density for network deployments.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
While the switch supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards in its networking capabilities, the specific model C1300-24T-4G-RF does not include PoE power delivery on its ports. The switch can be deployed in networks with PoE devices when used in conjunction with PoE injectors or separate PoE switches for power delivery to endpoints like IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras.
What does refurbished condition mean for this network switch?
Refurbished condition indicates this Cisco Catalyst switch has been professionally inspected, tested, and restored to full working order. Refurbished products typically undergo thorough cleaning, component testing, and firmware updates to ensure they meet original performance specifications. This provides a cost-effective alternative to new equipment while maintaining the reliability and functionality expected from Cisco networking hardware.
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.
