The Cisco SF 302-08 Switch is an affordable, high-performance, easy to manage device that’s designed specifically for small businesses. This compact 8-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 302-08 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
With 8 10/100 ports and two combination mini-GBIC ports, the SF 302-08 Switch allows you to connect small office devices, such as computers, printers, and wireless access points, and multiple switches to each other, giving employees fast, reliable access to the resources they need. Fast Ethernet connectivity provides optimal network performance, ensuring availability of your business-critical applications. The SF 302-08 Switch also provides the flexibility you need to interconnect a variety of devices across your network, including voice, security, and wireless solutions. In addition, this device 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 302-08 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 302-08 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 302-08 is an eco-friendly switch that’s been designed to conserve energy, which will save you money. The switch uses low-power chipsets and other “green” features to help protect the environment and optimize power consumption without compromising performance. And a fanless design further reduces energy costs while enabling quieter operation.

Cisco designed the SF 302-08 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 302-08 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.
