Cisco Catalyst C1300X-24P-4X Full English Product Description
1. Product Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C1300X-24P-4X is an advanced fanless fully managed Gigabit PoE+ switch from the premium Catalyst 1300X Series, built for small-medium enterprises, branch offices, retail, hospitality, schools and integrated surveillance networksCisco. It equips 24 PoE+ Gigabit RJ45 downlink ports paired with 4×10G SFP+ high-speed uplink slots, delivering a 195W total PoE power budget to power VoIP phones, Wi-Fi 6/6E APs and standard IP cameras simultaneously. Distinguished from standard C1300 switches, the 1300X series adds native OSPF dynamic routing and higher-bandwidth stacking architecture, alongside silent fanless passive cooling, enterprise-grade security, full QoS scheduling and Cisco cloud centralized management, making it an ideal mid-density PoE access switch with 10G fiber backbone aggregation capability for quiet indoor deploymentsCisco.
