100Mbit (100 Mbps) provides data transfer speeds of up to 100 megabits per second. This is suitable for basic office networks, small file transfers, and standard internet browsing. It's approximately 12.5 MB/s in real-world usage.
Gigabit Ethernet (1G) offers speeds up to 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps), which is 10 times faster than 100Mbit. This is ideal for modern office environments, video streaming, and larger file transfers. Real-world speeds are around 125 MB/s.
10G Ethernet provides speeds up to 10,000 Mbps (10 Gbps), making it perfect for data centers, high-performance computing, and environments requiring massive bandwidth. Real-world speeds reach approximately 1.25 GB/s.
Multi-Gig Ethernet includes speeds like 2.5G and 5G, bridging the gap between 1G and 10G. It's perfect for modern Wi-Fi 6 access points and high-speed storage applications that need more than 1G but less than 10G.
100Mbit: Basic office networks, small businesses
1G: Most modern offices, home networks
Multi-Gig: High-performance Wi-Fi, storage networks
10G: Data centers, high-performance computing
A 24-port switch can support up to 24 network devices simultaneously. This makes it perfect for medium-sized offices, branch locations, or as access layer switches in larger networks where you need to connect multiple computers, phones, printers, and other network devices.

The "X" designation typically indicates enhanced features such as modular power supplies, advanced stacking capabilities, and improved performance compared to the base series models.
Not necessarily. While newer series often have improved features and security, older series like 2960 and 3750X are still excellent choices for many applications and may offer better value for specific use cases.
The Cisco Business range (CBS) is specifically designed for small businesses and includes models like the CBS110 series. These switches offer enterprise-grade features at an affordable price point, making them perfect for small offices, retail locations, and growing businesses that need reliable networking without the complexity of enterprise switches.
Unmanaged switches are plug-and-play devices with no configuration options. They automatically learn device locations and forward traffic. Perfect for simple networks where you just need basic connectivity.
Managed switches offer full control over network traffic, including VLANs, QoS, security features, and monitoring capabilities. They're essential for businesses requiring network segmentation and advanced features.
Smart switches (also called web-managed switches) offer a middle ground with basic management features through a web interface. They're easier to configure than fully managed switches but offer more control than unmanaged ones.
Unmanaged: Simple home or small office networks
Smart: Small to medium businesses needing basic management
Managed: Businesses requiring advanced networking features
Yes, many 24-port Cisco switches support stacking technology, allowing you to connect multiple switches together to operate as a single logical switch. This provides increased port density, simplified management, and improved redundancy for growing networks.
PoE (Power over Ethernet): Provides up to 15.4W of power per port, perfect for IP phones and basic wireless access points.
PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus): Delivers up to 30W per port, supporting high-power devices like PTZ cameras and advanced wireless access points.
Layer 2: Basic switching that forwards traffic based on MAC addresses. Good for simple networks.
Layer 3: Advanced switching with routing capabilities, supporting IP-based routing between VLANs and subnets.
SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports allow you to add different types of network connections (fiber, copper, different speeds) to your switch. They're modular and can be upgraded as your needs change.
Stackable switches can be connected together to operate as a single logical switch. This provides increased port density, simplified management, and improved redundancy. Perfect for growing businesses.
24-port PoE switches typically provide up to 15.4W per port (PoE) or 30W per port (PoE+). With 24 ports, this means a total power budget of 370W to 720W, allowing you to power multiple IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras simultaneously.
No, PoE does not affect network speed. PoE (Power over Ethernet) uses the same Ethernet cables to deliver both data and power simultaneously. Your network speed remains the same whether you're using PoE or regular Ethernet - the power is delivered over the unused wire pairs in the cable without interfering with data transmission.
PoE (IEEE 802.3af): Up to 15.4W per port - Best for IP phones, basic wireless access points
PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at): Up to 30W per port - Best for PTZ cameras, advanced wireless access points, VoIP phones with displays
PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt): Up to 60W per port - Best for high-power devices like LED lighting, digital signage, and advanced IoT devices
PoE (802.3af): 15.4W per port (12.95W delivered to device)
PoE+ (802.3at): 30W per port (25.5W delivered to device)
PoE++ Type 3 (802.3bt): 60W per port (51W delivered to device)
PoE++ Type 4 (802.3bt): 100W per port (71W delivered to device)
PoE can power a wide range of network devices including:
• IP phones and VoIP systems
• Wireless access points and Wi-Fi extenders
• Security cameras (fixed and PTZ)
• Network switches and routers
• Digital signage displays
• LED lighting systems
• IoT sensors and controllers
No, PoE works with standard Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, and Cat7 Ethernet cables. However, for PoE+ and PoE++, Cat6 or better is recommended to handle the higher power requirements and reduce cable heating. The power is delivered over the same wires used for data transmission.
PoE can deliver power up to 100 meters (328 feet) over standard Ethernet cables, which is the same maximum distance as Ethernet data transmission. This makes PoE ideal for powering devices in remote locations where electrical outlets are not available or would be expensive to install.
Refurbished switches are previously used equipment that has been thoroughly tested, cleaned, and restored to like-new condition. They undergo comprehensive testing to ensure they meet original manufacturer specifications.
Remanufactured switches are taken apart, rebuilt with new components where necessary, and thoroughly tested. They often come with extended warranties and are essentially "as good as new" at a fraction of the cost.
Yes! Our refurbished switches undergo rigorous testing and come with warranties. They're often more reliable than new equipment because they've been stress-tested in real-world environments.
Our refurbished 24-port switches come with standard Cisco warranty coverage and are eligible for extended support through Cisco Smart Net Total Care, ensuring your network infrastructure remains protected.
While 24-port switches are typically used in business environments, they can be suitable for advanced home networks, home offices, or tech enthusiasts who need extensive connectivity. However, for most home users, smaller switches (8-16 ports) are usually sufficient.
