Keep cameras, phones, access points, and other edge devices online from a single compact switch. The Cisco Business 220 Series Smart Switch 8-port model combines full PoE on all copper ports with 2 SFP uplinks, giving you the power and uplink flexibility needed for small business access layers and distributed sites. Built for straightforward deployment, this switch is a practical fit for teams that want managed networking features without the overhead of a larger campus platform. Gigabit Ethernet on the access ports supports everyday business traffic, while the SFP uplinks make it easier to extend connectivity to upstream switches or fiber runs where copper is not the right choice. For environments where uptime matters, PoE simplifies edge rollouts by reducing the need for separate power adapters and local outlets. That means cleaner installations for VoIP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance devices, with fewer points of failure and less cable clutter. Cisco’s Business 220 line is designed for organizations that want a controlled, cost-conscious access switch that still feels purpose-built for business use. It is a strong choice when you need reliable PoE distribution, compact port density, and uplink options that support real network growth.
