Key Product Advantages
The Cisco CBS250-24FP-4X offers a balanced combination of port density, uplink speed, and power delivery that meets the demands of small to medium business networks. Its managed feature set provides administrative control without the complexity of higher-layer switches.
High-Speed Uplinks
Four SFP+ slots deliver 10 Gigabit connectivity for backbone or server links, offering up to 10 times the throughput of standard Gigabit Ethernet.
PoE+ Readiness
With a 370-watt PoE budget, this switch can power IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras directly from the network ports.
Rack-Optimized Design
The 1U rack-mountable form factor fits standard 19-inch racks, with dimensions of 1.70" H x 17.50" W x 13.60" D for efficient space utilization.
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is ideal for office environments, retail locations, and educational facilities that require reliable wired connectivity with power delivery capabilities. Its 24-port configuration supports workstations, printers, and other peripherals while leaving room for network expansion.
The SFP+ uplinks make it suitable for connecting to servers, storage arrays, or aggregation switches in mixed-media networks. Fiber optic support enables longer-distance connections between buildings or across large campuses where copper limitations apply.
Office Network Core
Serve as the central switch for a department or small office, connecting computers and PoE devices with Gigabit access and 10G uplinks to the main network.
IP Surveillance Deployment
Power and connect multiple IP cameras while using fiber uplinks to transmit video feeds to a central recording server over extended distances.
Physical Profile
The switch features a compact 1U rack-mountable design with dimensions of 1.70 inches in height, 17.50 inches in width, and 13.60 inches in depth. Its 10.14-pound weight makes it manageable for standard rack installation, and the form factor includes appropriate mounting hardware for secure placement in network cabinets.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.70" (43.18 mm), 17.50" (444.50 mm), 13.60" (345.44 mm), 10.14 lb (4599.426632 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE devices can this switch power?
The Cisco CBS250-24FP-4X provides a 370-watt PoE budget, which can support multiple PoE+ devices simultaneously. The exact number depends on the power requirements of each connected device, but this capacity is sufficient for typical deployments of IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras across the 24 ports.
What types of SFP modules are compatible with the uplink slots?
The four expansion slots are SFP+ type, supporting both fiber optic and copper transceivers for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. These slots are not shared with the regular network ports, allowing dedicated high-speed uplinks to servers, storage, or aggregation switches without sacrificing access port availability.
Is this switch manageable, and what features does it support?
Yes, this is a fully manageable Layer 2 switch. It supports standard Layer 2 features including IGMP snooping for multicast traffic optimization, port mirroring for network monitoring, and spanning tree protocols for loop prevention. Management can be performed through a web interface or command-line access for configuration and monitoring.
What are the physical dimensions for rack installation?
The switch measures 1.70 inches in height, 17.50 inches in width, and 13.60 inches in depth. This 1U form factor fits standard 19-inch rack cabinets, and the weight is 10.14 pounds. The rack-mountable design includes appropriate mounting hardware for secure installation in network racks or enclosures.
Can this switch connect to both copper and fiber networks?
Yes, the switch supports both media types. The 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors for twisted-pair copper cabling, while the four SFP+ uplink slots accept optical fiber or copper transceivers. This dual-media capability allows flexible network design with copper for local connections and fiber for longer-distance uplinks.
What is the warranty coverage for this product?
This Cisco switch comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This coverage provides long-term assurance for business deployments, though specific terms may apply based on the product condition and regional policies. The warranty supports the switch's reliability in continuous operation environments.
