Cisco Catalyst 1000 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch

The Cisco C1000-24P-4G-L is a managed Gigabit Ethernet switch that gives small businesses and branch offices the network capacity they need without introducing complexity. It runs on Cisco IOS Software, so anyone familiar with Cisco networking will feel at home when setting up VLANs, Quality of Service policies, or basic security features.

The switch offers 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support PoE Plus, delivering up to 195 watts in total. That means you can power office phones, wireless access points, or security cameras directly from the switch, eliminating separate power adapters and reducing cable clutter. Four additional Gigabit SFP uplink ports let you connect to aggregation switches, servers, or fiber links for reliable back-end bandwidth.

Installation is straightforward. The unit fits into a standard equipment rack, so it drops into an existing cabinet or wall-mount enclosure with minimal effort. Once powered on, the web-based interface guides you through the initial configuration. For those who prefer command-line control, the familiar Cisco CLI is ready as well.

This switch is a sensible fit for retail stores that need to run point-of-sale terminals, cameras, and Wi-Fi from one compact device. It also serves small medical clinics, classrooms, or satellite offices where staff rely on stable wired connections but do not have a full-time network engineer on site.
