C1300-24FP-4X Description
The C1300-24FP-4X is a Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series managed Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch for branch and small-office access closets that power phones, cameras and access points. The switch has 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports with a 375W PoE budget, 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks, 128.0 Gbps of switching capacity and a single fan. The C1300-24FP-4X belongs to C1300 Family 1, so it stacks only with other Family 1 models, up to 8 units per stack.

Product Performance
Key Features
The 24 PoE+ ports draw from one 375W pool, which covers 15W on every port at once or 12 devices at the full 30W. Budget the pool by endpoint wattage rather than by port count.
SR optics reach 26 to 400 m on multimode and LR optics reach 10 km on single-mode. Direct-attach and active optical cables cover short runs between racks.
Family 1 units stack under one IP address with hardware failover, cross-stack link aggregation and up to 400 managed ports. Stack ports are configured from the SFP+ ports and carry no user traffic afterward, and a stack needs at least 2 enabled stack ports.
IPv4 and IPv6 route at wire speed, with RIP v2, policy-based routing and a built-in DHCP server. OSPF is limited to C1300X models, so dynamic routing here is RIP v2.
The chassis has one fan rated at 39 dBA at 25°C. With 24 PoE ports loaded, the unit dissipates 1548.8 BTU/hr, which cabinet cooling has to absorb.
Voice VLAN with Voice Services Discovery Protocol places phones in a voice VLAN with QoS treatment. Auto Smartports applies port roles from CDP or LLDP-MED discovery.
Application Scenarios
In a branch wiring closet, the switch powers IP phones and access points from its 24 PoE+ ports and sends their traffic to the site core over 10G SFP+ links.
A multi-floor office can join up to 8 Family 1 units with 10G stack links on the SFP+ ports and manage them as one switch under a single IP address.
A warehouse or retail back room can terminate IP cameras and door readers on the PoE+ ports, where the 375W budget is shared across all 24 ports.

C1300-24FP-4X and C1300-24P-4X share 24 PoE+ ports, 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks and 128.0 Gbps, and the PoE budget separates them: 375W against 195W. Endpoint loads that fit inside 195W can drop to C1300-24P-4X. Closets that need more than 24 powered ports or a larger pool step up to C1300-48FP-4X, which has 48 PoE+ ports, a 740W budget and 176.0 Gbps. Sites whose upstream links are 1G fiber can order C1300-24FP-4G, which keeps 375W but uses 4 x 1G SFP uplinks and 56.0 Gbps and is not listed in the C1300 stacking Families, so stacked closets stay on a 4X model.

Ordering Checklist
- SFP+ uplink modules: Choose modules or cables from the Catalyst 1300 supported list, such as SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR, SFP-10G-T-X or SFP-10G-AOC1M, matched to each link’s reach and media for the 4 SFP+ slots.
- Stack links: Use 10G SFP+ ports as stack ports, preferably with direct attach copper such as SFP-H10GB-CU1M; only C1300 Family 1 models stack together, up to 8 units. Enable at least 2 stack ports per unit; RJ45 SFP modules and third-party SFPs are not guaranteed.
- Power cord: Keep the included power cord, or select NO-POWER-CORD to leave it out.

Layer23 has the kind of reliability that makes our jobs easier. Invoice formatting was a bit different from what our AP system expects, but workable.
We’ve deployed many units from Layer23 across our organization. Zero failures. Took a little longer to clear customs than expected, otherwise excellent.
Glad I took the chance on Layer23. The product is exactly as described. Shipping took a couple extra days, but product itself is perfect.
Setup was easy. Delivery to Las Vegas was quick.
Investigation complete: Vendor is legit. Hardware is real.
