Switch gestionado Cisco Catalyst 1300-8P-E-2G 8 puertos GE PoE

The Cisco Catalyst 1300-8P-E-2G is a managed 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with PoE+ support designed for small business networks. It provides full Layer 2/3 functionality, an intuitive web dashboard and a switching capacity of 20 Gbit/s. The switch has an internal MAC address table of 16,000 entries and supports common IEEE networking standards to ensure reliable and secure connectivity.

Advantages

The Managed Switch Cisco Catalyst 1300-8P-E-2G combines managed switching features with PoE+ power delivery across eight Gigabit RJ-45 ports, reducing the need for separate power sources for connected devices. Its compact, grey enclosure and support for Layer 2/3 protocols allow centralized network control, VLAN segmentation, link aggregation and flow control. Compliance with multiple IEEE standards ensures interoperability with existing infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Small office or branch network deployments
• Powering IP phones, wireless access points and surveillance cameras via PoE+
• Networks requiring VLANs, QoS and link aggregation
• Environments needing a compact managed switch with moderate throughput (20 Gbit/s)

How to use

Install the switch on a desktop or rack using the provided mounting options and connect power. Use the web-based dashboard to perform initial configuration: assign IP address, configure VLANs, enable PoE settings, set QoS policies and, if required, configure link aggregation for uplinks. Connect devices such as IP phones, access points or cameras to the Gigabit PoE ports and verify connectivity and power delivery through the management interface.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, group devices by VLAN and enable QoS for latency-sensitive traffic (VoIP, video). Monitor PoE power budget to avoid overload and plan uplink aggregation for higher throughput or redundancy.
