Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds (1000Base-T and 1000Base-X), ensuring up to 10 times faster connectivity than standard Ethernet. The eight PoE+ ports deliver up to 25.5 watts per port, allowing devices to receive both data and power over a single cable, which simplifies installation in locations without readily available power outlets.
The two Gigabit Ethernet TP/SFP combo ports are shared SFP slots, meaning they can be used either as standard RJ-45 ports or with SFP (mini-GBIC) modules for fiber optic connections. This dual functionality provides uplink flexibility and supports network expansion through cascading to other devices.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
How many PoE+ ports does this switch have and what is the total PoE budget?
The Cisco CBS350-8FP-2G-NA has eight PoE+ ports with a total PoE budget of 120 watts. Each PoE+ port can deliver up to 25.5 watts of power, sufficient for devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. This budget allows the switch to power multiple PoE+ devices simultaneously without requiring separate power supplies at each installation point.
What are the SFP slots used for on this switch?
This switch includes two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots, also known as mini-GBIC slots. These are shared with the two Gigabit Ethernet TP/SFP combo ports, meaning you can use either standard RJ-45 copper connections or install SFP modules for fiber optic connections. The SFP slots support 1000Base-X fiber standards, enabling longer-distance network links and higher data transmission rates between switches, servers, or network segments.
Is this switch manageable and what Layer does it support?
Yes, the Cisco CBS350-8FP-2G-NA is a fully manageable switch that supports Layer 2 switching. As a managed switch, it offers features like VLANs for network segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, and security protocols for network protection. Layer 2 support enables enhanced network management capabilities compared to unmanaged switches, making it suitable for business environments requiring more control over network traffic and security.
What are the physical dimensions and mounting options for this switch?
The switch measures 1.73 inches in height, 10.55 inches in width, and 12.72 inches in depth (44 x 268 x 323 mm), making it a standard 1U rack-mountable device.
