Cisco Catalyst 1000 24-Port Managed PoE+ Switch

The Cisco C1000-24FP-4X-L is a managed Gigabit switch that brings the capabilities of the Catalyst family to small businesses and branch offices. It offers twenty-four Ethernet ports that carry both data and PoE+ power, letting you run phones, cameras, wireless access points, or IoT sensors straight from the switch without separate power injectors.

A 370 W power budget is shared across the PoE+ ports, so you can combine high-draw access points with lower-draw sensors without worrying about power allocation. Four SFP+ uplink slots accept 10 gigabit modules, allowing high-speed links to your core network, servers, or storage. With 64 Gbps of forwarding bandwidth and 128 Gbps of switching capacity, the switch keeps traffic moving even when every port is in use.

Configuration is available through the familiar Cisco IOS command line or a browser-based interface, giving both experienced engineers and newer administrators an efficient path to deployment. Security tools such as 802.1X authentication, DHCP snooping, and access control lists guard your network, while QoS features keep voice and video streams clear. Support for VLANs, spanning tree, IGMP, and multicast means the switch integrates easily into almost any Layer 2 design.

The chassis occupies just one rack unit, so it fits neatly into compact cabinets or wall-mount racks. An 800 MHz ARM processor, 512 MB of RAM, and 256 MB of flash provide the resources needed for reliable operation. Whether you are equipping a retail store, a school lab, or a remote branch office, this Catalyst 1000 model delivers the performance and stability that administrators expect from Cisco hardware.
