Managed Switch 12 Port Gigabit SFP+ With 2 Port SFP+ Combo

High-Performance 10 Gigabit Fiber Switch for Modern Networks:

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-12XS Managed Switch is a powerful, compact 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for high-speed aggregation, distribution, and core network deployments. With 10 dedicated 10G SFP+ ports and 2 versatile 10G copper/SFP+ combo ports, this switch delivers exceptional flexibility for fiber-based and copper-based connectivity. It is ideal for enterprises, data centers, service providers, and high-performance campus networks that demand reliability, scalability, and speed.

Flexible Connectivity with SFP+ and Combo Ports:

This model provides 10 x 10G SFP+ ports for high-density fiber connections and 2 x 10G combo ports that support either RJ-45 copper or SFP+ modules, allowing seamless integration into existing network infrastructures. The dedicated Gigabit Ethernet out-of-band (OOB) management port enables secure and efficient switch management without affecting production traffic, making it easier to maintain and monitor network performance.

Compact, Quiet, and Energy-Efficient Design:

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-12XS features a sleek, rack-mountable compact design, making it suitable for deployment outside traditional wiring closets, such as retail stores, classrooms, and open-plan offices. With low acoustic noise of only 29.5 dBA at 25°C, it operates quietly in noise-sensitive environments. Energy efficiency is enhanced with low idle power consumption (as low as 9.9W at 110V), helping reduce operational costs while supporting sustainable IT initiatives.

Enterprise-Grade Performance and Reliability:

Delivering a switching capacity of 240 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 178.57 Mpps, the C1300-12XS ensures smooth handling of bandwidth-intensive applications such as virtualization, video streaming, and cloud services. Powered by an ARM dual-core 1.5 GHz CPU, 1 GB DDR4 memory, and 3 MB packet buffer, the switch provides consistent performance even under heavy traffic loads. A high MTBF of over 1.2 million hours ensures long-term reliability for mission-critical environments.

Simplified Management and Deployment:

The switch includes both RJ-45 and USB Type-C console ports for easy setup and troubleshooting, along with a front-panel USB-C port for file and image management. Cisco Catalyst 1300/X Series switches are built for simplified deployment, robust security, and scalable growth, making the C1300-12XS a future-ready solution for evolving network demands.
