Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is well-suited for small office networks, retail locations, and educational environments where reliable, managed switching is required without the complexity of larger chassis-based systems. Its Layer 4 features make it effective for segmenting traffic in multi-tenant buildings or shared office spaces.
In branch office deployments, the SFP uplinks allow for fiber connections back to a central data center, ensuring high-speed, low-latency links. The refurbished condition offers a budget-friendly option for organizations extending their network infrastructure while maintaining Cisco reliability.
Small Business Core Switch
Serve as the central switching point for up to eight devices, with management features for security and performance tuning.
Edge Deployment
Deploy at network edges with fiber uplinks to aggregate traffic from multiple access switches or connect remote sites.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 1.73" (43.94 mm) in height, 10.56" (268.22 mm) in width, and 9.45" (240.03 mm) in depth, with a weight of approximately 5.64 lb (2558.26 g). Its low-profile design fits easily in standard 19-inch racks or on desktop surfaces, and the built-in power supply simplifies installation by eliminating external power bricks.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (43.94 mm), 10.56" (268.22 mm), 9.45" (240.03 mm), 5.64 lb (2558.26 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
