Switch Cisco Catalyst C1300-48T-4X 48xGbE 4xSFP+ fanless

Cisco Catalyst C1300-48T-4X is a compact, fanless 19" rack-mountable Ethernet switch offering 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 SFP+ 10 Gigabit uplink ports. Built for quiet edge deployments and small to medium offices, the switch delivers high-density GbE connectivity with 10Gb uplinks, energy-efficient operation, and simplified management via web interface and SNMP/RMON.

Advantages

The fanless design enables silent operation in noise-sensitive environments while maintaining reliable thermal performance. With 48 GbE ports and 4 SFP+ uplinks, the device supports dense access-layer connectivity and upstream 10Gb aggregation. Management options include a web GUI and SNMP/RMON for remote monitoring and integration with network management systems. The compact 19" rack form factor allows easy installation in standard racks and constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• Access-layer switching in small and medium offices
• Edge deployments in quiet environments (e.g., classrooms, meeting rooms, retail)
• VoIP and unified communications access
• Small data aggregation with 10Gb uplinks

How to use

Mount the switch in a standard 19" rack or place it in a suitable cabinet with appropriate ventilation. Connect access devices to the 48 GbE RJ-45 ports and use the 4 SFP+ ports for 10Gb uplink connections to aggregation or core switches. Access the web-based management interface for initial configuration, VLAN setup, and basic monitoring. For integration with network management, configure SNMP/RMON settings to enable remote monitoring and alerts.

Usage recommendations

Install the device in locations free of dust and excessive heat, and ensure SFP+ modules used in uplink ports are compatible with the switch. For environments requiring continuous high throughput, verify rack airflow and ambient temperature to maintain optimal passive cooling performance.
