Consolidate access, power, and uplink connectivity in one switch built for demanding edge environments. The Cisco Catalyst 1300 C1300-48P-4G delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports for phones, cameras, and wireless access points, plus 4 x 1G SFP uplinks for flexible aggregation into the rest of the network. This model is a strong fit when you need more than basic port count. PoE reduces the need for separate power runs, while the SFP uplinks help preserve copper ports for endpoints and keep uplink design clean. For IT teams standardizing branch or campus access layers, the Catalyst 1300 line offers the control and consistency expected from Cisco in a compact switching footprint. Use it where uptime, port density, and predictable expansion matter more than low-cost commodity switching. It is designed to support mixed endpoint environments without forcing compromises on power delivery or uplink options.
