Move more traffic at the edge without sacrificing PoE density. The Cisco Catalyst 1300 48-port GE Full PoE 4x10G is built for access-layer environments that need 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with full PoE support and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks for faster upstream connectivity. This switch is a strong fit for teams that have outgrown basic access hardware and need more headroom for wireless, voice, surveillance, and endpoint-heavy deployments. The 10G uplinks help reduce bottlenecks when multiple access closets feed a distribution layer or when traffic patterns are becoming more demanding. As a managed Cisco switch, it gives infrastructure teams the control expected in business networks while keeping the design focused on practical access switching. It is well suited to organizations standardizing on Cisco for branch, campus, or small-to-mid enterprise deployments where port density, PoE coverage, and uplink speed all matter. For buyers comparing against lower-cost switches, the value is in the combination of full PoE, 10G uplinks, and Cisco’s enterprise switching pedigree.
