Deliver wired access and device power from a single switch built for high-density edge closets. The Cisco Catalyst 1300 48-port GE Full PoE SFP combines 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports with 4 x 1G SFP uplinks, giving you the port count and uplink flexibility needed for phones, cameras, wireless access points, and other powered endpoints. This model fits environments where uptime, port density, and clean uplink design matter more than commodity switching. Full PoE support reduces the need for separate injectors and local power supplies, while the SFP uplinks help preserve copper ports for endpoints and simplify upstream aggregation. For IT teams standardizing on Cisco access switching, the 1300 series offers a practical balance of capability and control. Choose this switch when you need to scale edge connectivity without moving to a larger chassis or a more complex campus platform. It is a strong fit for branch offices, classrooms, retail floors, and distributed workspaces that need dependable power delivery and room to grow.
