The Cisco SF 300-24P Switch is an affordable, high-performance, easy to manage device that’s designed specifically for small businesses. This 24-port managed switch boosts network performance and supports high-bandwidth applications for an efficient, productive workplace. Part of the Cisco 300 Series of switches, the SF 300-24P provides energy-saving, security, and advanced network features to support a small business network. And a limited lifetime warranty with next-business-day advance replacement protects your investment.

Fast, reliable access to the resources you need
The SF 300-24P Switch has 24 10/100 Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and four 10/100/1000 ports—two of which are combination mini-GBIC ports. This allows you to connect small office devices, such as computers, printers, and wireless access points, as well as multiple switches to each other, giving employees fast, reliable access to the resources they need. By providing both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in the same switch, you achieve optimal network performance, ensuring availability of your business-critical applications. The SF 300-24P Switch also provides the flexibility you need to interconnect a variety of devices across your network, including voice, security, storage, and wireless solutions. Embedded PoE technology makes it easier to connect and power IP-based devices, such as phones and surveillance cameras, and wireless access points. In addition, the SF 300-24P offers several advanced networking features, including support for Layer 3 switching between VLANs for advanced traffic management as well as IPv6, remote management, and dual images support.

Built-in security keeps your network and data safe
The SF 300-24P includes a number of security features that let you tightly control access to your network, safeguarding the integrity of your data. Using access control lists (ACLs), you can authenticate and regulate new connections to your network, keeping unwanted users away from your business-critical information. With this device, you also can segment your network and provide a secure section for visitors by using the integrated guest VLAN capability. In addition to strong security features, the SF 300-24P Switch provides business-class communication capabilities, such as support for IP telephony. If you already have IP phones connected to your company’s network, the switch will automatically configure the phones with the correct VLAN and quality-of-service (QoS) parameters to prioritize voice traffic.

It just works so you can focus on your business
The SF 300-24P Switch from Cisco is an eco-friendly device that’s been designed with energy conservation in mind—saving power while saving you money. The managed switch uses low-power chipsets as well as other “green” features to help protect the environment and to optimize power consumption without compromising performance. Cisco designed the SF 300-24P Switch to be easy to configure and to manage. Intuitive browser-based tools and mass deployment capabilities speed setup and reduce the amount of time you need to spend on network management tasks, such as QoS traffic prioritization. Cisco provides a limited lifetime warranty with next-business-day advance replacement (where available), software updates, and telephone technical support free of charge for the first 12 months. Also, the SF 300-24P is backed by the Cisco Small Business Support Service, an affordable three-year subscription-based plan that provides peace of mind and additional investment protection.
