⇒Technical Datasheet

PERFORMANCE

This switch delivers a backplane capacity of 36 Gbps and forwarding bandwidth of 28 Gbps, with a forwarding rate of 41.67 million packets per second (Mpps). It supports up to 16,000 MAC addresses and advanced Layer 2 features like VLAN, STP (RSTP/MSTP), and link aggregation for scalable, efficient network performance.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

It supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), which senses idle times on ports and reduces power usage dynamically. The fanless model reduces mechanical power draw and enhances overall energy savings. Power consumption at full load is approximately 16.68W, with idle power around 14.52W.

RELIABILITY

It has a High Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of over 2 million hours, ensuring dependable operation. The switch features hardware and software diagnostics, including Smart Call Home and automatic error recovery via ‘error disable’ auto-recovery mechanisms to minimize downtime.

VERSATILITY

This switch is suitable for small and branch office deployments with versatile uplink options and support for flexible management, including CLI, web UI, SNMP, and Bluetooth management over-the-air access. Supports single IP management to administer up to 8 switches simultaneously.

POWER CONSUMPTION

This switch operates on 110 to 220V AC with a typical current draw of 0.29 to 0.47A (0.08 kVA). This switch is embedded with power-saving technologies like Energy Efficient Ethernet, and a fanless design keeps operational costs low.

APPLICATION AREAS

This switch is suitable for diverse application areas, including schools, colleges, hospitals, small to medium-sized businesses, retail stores, branch offices, SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) environments, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and remote locations. It supports secure, scalable networking for classrooms, administrative offices, medical devices, retail point-of-sale systems, guest Wi-Fi, branch network connectivity, and IoT device deployments. Its compact, fanless design and comprehensive security features make it ideal for noise-sensitive office environments and critical networks requiring reliable uptime and strong network access control. These diverse uses highlight the switch’s flexibility across institutional, commercial, and distributed network settings.

CONCLUSION

Cisco Catalyst C1000-24T-4G-L switch is a complete package solution of essential enterprise-grade features into a compact, reliable, and energy-efficient solution tailored for small businesses and branch offices. Its combination of advanced security, flexible connectivity, simplified management, and quiet operation makes it an excellent fit for modern network edge deployments.
