The Cisco Catalyst C1300-48T-4G is part of the Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series of enterprise-lite switches designed primarily for small to medium businesses, branch offices, and wiring-closet deployment.
This model provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) ports for access connectivity, plus 4 SFP uplink ports (1 Gbps each). It is a managed switch, supporting both Layer 2 switching features and some Layer 3 capabilities (such as static routing) in a compact, rack-mountable form.
Because it is part of the 1300 line, the switch can be managed via a web interface, CLI, or via Cisco’s network management tools (e.g. Cisco Business Dashboard) and integrates security, resiliency, and modern features while keeping cost in check.
Here are some of its standout features:
| Feature | Description / Benefit |
|---|---|
| Fixed port count | 48 copper Gigabit Ethernet ports + 4 SFP uplinks — no modular expansion. Cisco+2Cisco+2 |
| Managed switch | Full manageability via web UI, CLI, SNMP, etc. |
| Layer 2 & basic Layer 3 | VLAN, spanning tree, link aggregation, static routing, routing between VLANs, etc. |
| High switching capacity / non-blocking architecture | The 48T-4G model in the 1300 series offers about 104 Gbps switching capacity and 77.38 Mpps forwarding rate (64-byte packets) in Cisco’s published specs. |
| Security features | Support for IEEE 802.1X, port security, web authentication, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), IP Source Guard, IPv6 first-hop security (ND inspection, RA guard, etc.) |
| Stacking (Front Panel Stacking) | It supports front-panel stacking of up to 8 switches, enabling them to be managed as a single logical unit. |
| Energy efficiency / eco features | Includes support for IEEE 802.3az (Energy-Efficient Ethernet), automatic port power-down when idle, and optimizing signal strength based on cable length, etc. |
| Dual images & resiliency | The switch supports dual firmware images for safer upgrades with minimal downtime. |
| Compact / deployment flexibility | Though a 48-port switch, its design allows rack mounting; for some models in the series, fanless or near-silent operation is possible (though 48-port may require fan). |
| Warranty & support | Cisco offers a limited lifetime warranty with return-to-factory (RTF) replacement, along with a complimentary year’s access to Small Business Support. |
