Cisco Catalyst C1300-24XT 24-Port 10G Managed Switch 20x Copper 4x Combo Uplinks Layer 3 Cisco Refresh

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-24XT is a fully managed Layer 3 switch with 20x 10GBASE-T RJ-45 copper ports and 4x 10G RJ45/SFP+ combo uplinks — 24 ports total of 10G connectivity. Designed for SMBs and branch offices, it delivers a 480 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity and 357 Mpps forwarding rate with dynamic Layer 3 routing, advanced QoS, and enterprise-grade security.

Managed via Cisco Business Dashboard, web UI, and CLI — no subscription or license required for basic operation. Supports front-panel stacking of up to 8 switches (Family 2 compatible models only). Sold as Cisco Refresh — Cisco's own certified remanufactured program, inspected and tested to Cisco standards.

Key Features & Benefits

• 20x 10GBASE-T RJ-45 Ports: Full 10G copper to servers, NAS, and workstations — auto-negotiates down to 1G and 100M for compatibility with existing devices.
• 4x 10G RJ45/SFP+ Combo Uplinks: Each port accepts either 10G copper RJ-45 or 10G SFP+ (fiber or DAC) — cannot be used simultaneously per port.
• 480 Gbps / 357 Mpps Non-Blocking Fabric: Handles all 24 ports at wire speed simultaneously — no bottlenecks under heavy load.
• Layer 3 Routing: Supports dynamic Layer 3 routing and inter-VLAN routing with IPv4/IPv6 — segment your network into workgroups without a separate router.
• Front Panel Stacking (up to 8 switches): Stack with other Catalyst 1300 Family 2 models (C1300-24XS, C1300-24XTS, C1300-12XS, C1300-12XT-2X, C1300-16XTS) — managed as one unit with a single IP.
• Advanced Security: 802.1X port authentication, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, DHCP Snooping, ACLs, and Port Security protect against common Layer 2 attacks.
• Enterprise QoS: 8 queues per port with DSCP/CoS prioritization — keeps voice, video, and critical business traffic moving smoothly.
• High Availability: RSTP/MSTP rapid convergence, LACP link aggregation (802.3ad), and dual firmware image support for software upgrades with minimal network downtime.
• No Subscription Required: Full feature set accessible via local web UI, CLI (SSH/SSHv2), SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Syslog, and RMON — out of the box.
• 1U Rackmount Ready: Standard 19" rack, 9.4" depth — fits wiring closets, branch office racks, and tight deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What exactly are the 4 combo uplink ports?
  Each of the 4 combo ports accepts either a 10G RJ-45 copper cable or a 10G SFP+ transceiver (fiber or DAC) — but not both at the same time. You get 4 flexible uplinks, not 4 copper + 4 SFP+ simultaneously.
• Are the copper ports backward compatible with 1G devices?
  Yes. The 10GBASE-T ports auto-negotiate down to 1G and 100M, so existing gigabit servers, NAS units, and workstations will connect without any issues.
• Does this switch require a subscription or license to operate?
  No subscription or license is required. The switch runs fully via local web UI and CLI out of the box. The optional Cisco Business Dashboard adds cloud-based multi-site management but is not needed for standard operation.
• What does Cisco Refresh mean?
  Cisco Refresh is Cisco's own certified remanufactured program — not a third-party refurbish. Units are returned to Cisco, inspected, tested, and remanufactured to meet Cisco's performance standards before resale.
• Which switches can be stacked with the C1300-24XT?
  The C1300-24XT is a Family 2 stacking model. It stacks with: C1300-12XS, C1300-12XT-2X, C1300-16XTS, C1300-24XS, and C1300-24XTS — up to 8 units total. Cross-family stacking (e.g., with C1300-24T-4X) is not supported.
