Product Performance
Key Features
C1300-24FP-4X combines 24 PoE+ copper access ports with the higher 24-port PoE planning class, so endpoint count and aggregate wattage should both be checked.
The uplink block supports 10G SFP+ connectivity, letting the order stay in the 4X Catalyst 1300 family instead of the 1G-uplink 4G models.
Cisco includes C1300-24FP-4X in C1300 Family 1 stacking documentation, with up to 8 switches managed as one stack when the stack design is used.
The Catalyst 1300 Series supports 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+, so phones, cameras, readers, and access points must be matched to the supported endpoint power class.
Cisco documents IPv4 and IPv6 routing features for Catalyst 1300, including C1300 route scale and Layer 3 interfaces for branch and SMB segmentation.
Operations teams can use Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, web UI, CLI, and SNMP according to Cisco Catalyst 1300 documentation.
Application Scenarios
C1300-24FP-4X fits access closets where powered copper endpoints remain at 24 ports but the uplink handoff must move to 10G SFP+ rather than 1G SFP.
Use this SKU when the design calls for a C1300 Family 1 stack member with 24 PoE+ downlinks, full-PoE planning, and 4X uplink connectivity.
The SKU is relevant when a C1300-24P-4X budget is too small for endpoint draw or when a C1300-24FP-4G uplink tier is too slow for the aggregation plan.

- In a C1300-24FP-4X vs C1300-24P-4X comparison, the real difference is PoE capacity: both stay on 24 PoE+ ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks, but C1300-24FP-4X uses the higher 375W dedicated PoE class.
- The C1300-24FP-4X vs C1300-24FP-4G difference is uplink speed and switching capacity; the 4X SKU uses 4 x 10G SFP+ and 128.0 Gbps while the 4G SKU uses 4 x 1G SFP and 56.0 Gbps.
- For C1300-24FP-4X vs C1300-48FP-4X, the comparison is access density and PoE pool size, because the 48FP model doubles the copper port count and raises the PoE budget to 740W.
- The which SKU to order check should start with endpoint wattage, then confirm 10G uplink need and whether the stack design requires a C1300 Family 1 supported model.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for 24 full-PoE ports with 10G uplinks
Specify C1300-24FP-4X when the bill of materials needs 24 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, a 375W dedicated PoE planning value, and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks.
2. Use C1300-24P-4X when 195W is enough
C1300-24P-4X is the closer 4X alternative when the same port and uplink count is needed but the endpoint worksheet fits the 195W PoE class.
3. Use C1300-24FP-4G for 1G SFP handoff
C1300-24FP-4G keeps the full-PoE 24-port access profile but belongs in orders where 4 x 1G SFP uplinks match the upstream design.
4. Move to C1300-48FP-4X for higher access density
C1300-48FP-4X is the comparison point when the project needs 48 powered copper ports and a 740W budget rather than a 24-port full-PoE switch.
PoE Power Planning

|---|---|---|
|
Dedicated PoE value |
375W power dedicated to PoE |
Use this value for endpoint power planning across the 24 PoE+ copper ports |
|
Ordering description value |
370W power budget in the ordering row |
Reconcile the ordering text with the PoE specification table before finalizing the quote record |
|
PoE port count |
24 PoE-capable access ports |
Powered endpoints share one switch-level PoE pool rather than independent per-port budgets |
|
PoE standards |
802.3at PoE+, 802.3af, and Cisco pre-standard PoE |
Endpoint compatibility should be checked against the requested power standard |
|
Power consumption with PoE |
110V=454.2W; 220V=441.2W |
UPS and circuit sizing should use loaded PoE consumption rather than idle draw |
|
Heat dissipation |
1548.8 BTU/hr |
Rack thermal planning should account for loaded PoE operation |
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact SKU |
C1300-24FP-4X on the purchase line |
Prevents substitution with the 195W C1300-24P-4X or the 1G-uplink C1300-24FP-4G |
|
PoE worksheet |
Aggregate endpoint draw fits the Cisco-listed dedicated PoE value |
Keeps phones, cameras, readers, and wireless access points inside the supported switch budget |
|
Uplink media |
10G SFP+ optic, DAC, or AOC choice matches the upstream handoff |
Avoids quoting a 4G model or unsupported media for the 4X uplink design |
|
Stack design |
C1300 Family 1 stack membership and stack count are planned when stacking is required |
Keeps the switch aligned with Cisco’s C1300 stacking model family |
|
Power plan |
Internal 100 to 240V AC input and regional power cord are correct |
Aligns the switch with rack PDU, UPS, and site power requirements |
|
Rack and thermal plan |
1RU mounting space, PoE-loaded power draw, and heat dissipation are acceptable |
Avoids under-sizing the cabinet plan for a powered access switch |

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.
