Cisco Catalyst C1300X-48NGU-4X Full English Product Description
1. Product Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C1300X-48NGU-4X is a high-density fanless advanced managed hybrid multi-gigabit Layer 3 switch from the premium Catalyst 1300X Series, tailored for large SMB offices, enterprise branch wiring closets, school campuses, retail malls and media production environments. It delivers a mixed port configuration of 40×1G Gigabit RJ45 plus 8×5G Multi-Gigabit non-PoE downlink ports, paired with 4×SFP28 high-speed uplink slots supporting 10G regular fiber uplink and up to 25G dedicated stacking bandwidth. Distinct from standard C1300 switches, the C1300X series adds native OSPF dynamic routing, silent fanless passive cooling, full enterprise security suite, intelligent QoS scheduling and unified Cisco cloud management. This hybrid multi-gig switch optimizes cost and bandwidth balance for mass standard workstations, high-speed NAS storage, Wi‑Fi 6/6E/7 non‑PoE wireless APs and bandwidth-heavy video endpoints without PoE power delivery requirementsCisco.
