Fiber Aggregation With Shared Copper Connectivity for SMB Networks

C1300-24XS is a fiber-focused 24-port SFP+ switch offering 20 dedicated 10 Gigabit connections and four copper/SFP+ combo connections in a 1U rack chassis. Each combo pair uses one medium at a time, rather than simultaneous copper and fiber links. The managed Catalyst 1300 switch serves SMB and branch networks requiring fixed high-speed connections without a removable uplink module. Layer 2+ functionality includes local routing, while the non-PoE design connects equipment that receives power separately. A dedicated Gigabit out-of-band management interface separates administration from the data connections. The closest copper-focused sibling, C1300-24XT, provides 20 dedicated 10 Gigabit copper connections instead of the dedicated fiber connections, making connection media the principal distinction between these two models.

C1300-24XS price for new stock is $2,924.25, a 22.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $3,759.75. C1300-24XS refurb price is $3,249.75. C1300-24XS is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

480 Gbps switching capacity supports nonblocking operation across the fixed connection set. 357.14 Mpps forwarding at a 64-byte packet size provides the packet-rate figure for small-frame traffic planning. Static routing, RIP v2 and PBR handle local routed traffic; OSPF is not supported on this model. 7168 total IPv4 routes set the address-scale ceiling for local subnet routing. C1300-24XS carries 1 GB of DRAM and 1 GB of flash for its embedded software and configuration. An 8 MB packet buffer is dynamically shared across ports, while the 32000-entry MAC table supports address learning across the switching domain. STP, RSTP and MSTP support loop-controlled topologies, and LACP provides link aggregation. Administrators can use a browser, a scriptable CLI or centralized management rather than a single mandatory interface. 49.46W maximum system consumption is the figure to use when allocating electrical load; one fan provides active cooling during operation.

Ordering

Order C1300-24XS in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and specify the required connection accessories and quantity on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition, PSU and fan status, and a clean boot; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM offers up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

No operating subscription required

C1300-24XS needs no software subscription to operate, so a hardware order does not require an operating subscription term. Specify connection accessories separately rather than adding a mandatory subscription solely to enable switching.

Stack family must match

A C1300-24XS stack must stay within Catalyst 1300 Family 2; Family 1 and Catalyst 1300X cannot join it. Verify every existing member before ordering additional switches or interconnects.

Specify connection parts separately

Fiber connections need separately ordered SFP-10G-SR or SFP-10G-LR optics, while a short direct connection can use SFP-H10GB-CU1M. Confirm media and length alongside C1300-24XS rather than treating its SFP+ cages as populated connections.

C1300-24XS Use Case

Fiber Aggregation Handoff

C1300-24XS sits at the aggregation point for 10G fiber or DAC links from access switches, small distribution blocks, and shared service racks. Engineers terminate high-speed uplinks on 20 dedicated 10G SFP+ ports, reserve the four 10G copper/SFP+ combo ports for mixed handoffs, and configure VLAN trunks, LACP groups, ACLs, and Layer 3 interfaces where local routing is required. The dedicated Gigabit management port keeps operational access separate from data paths. The network gains compact 10G aggregation without consuming a chassis platform.

Server Access Switching

The switch operates at the server-access layer for racks that use SFP+ NICs, DAC cables, and selected 10GBASE-T handoffs. C1300-24XS connects host uplinks and storage-facing interfaces across 20 10G SFP+ ports, then uses the four combo ports for copper appliances or additional SFP+ links. Engineers apply VLAN segmentation, QoS, LACP, jumbo frames, and iSCSI traffic optimisation to keep east-west and backup flows organised. The dedicated management port separates administration from data traffic. The rack gains a defined 10G access point with predictable port roles and management visibility.

Stacked 10G Expansion Block

C1300-24XS participates in a Catalyst 1300 Family 2 hardware stack when a site needs more 10G ports under one control plane. Engineers stack up to eight same-family switches, assign stack roles, and manage the combined system through one IP address while using cross-stack VLANs, LAGs, QoS, and port mirroring. The SFP+ density supports repeated aggregation or server-access blocks as racks grow, while hardware failover protects the stack control path. The result is expanded 10G capacity with single-system administration and resilient operations.

Best For

Predecessor Hardware Refresh

When replacing a discontinued CBS350-24XS-NA, specify C1300-24XS as the migration part rather than another predecessor unit. The older switch reached end of sale on May 30, 2024. Match the existing optical connections and destination requirements, then put the new PID and required connection parts on the PO.

Local Routing Expansion

When a branch refresh moves local subnet traffic onto the switching hardware, assess interface and policy counts before choosing the configuration. The 10G model supports 256 IP interfaces and 2048 ACL rules. Specify the expected interface map and access-control rule count before approving the hardware purchase order.

Regional Branch Rollout

For a branch rollout with a local power-cord standard, establish the required cord option before releasing identical hardware orders. The normal package includes a power cord unless NO-POWER-CORD is selected. Put the destination and cord selection on the PO rather than assuming every shipment uses the same regional plug.

Not Suitable If

PoE-powered endpoint connections

C1300-24XS does not supply PoE. C1300-24P-4X provides 24 PoE+ access ports with a 195W budget, but changes the access connections to Gigabit copper rather than 10G fiber.

OSPF-based dynamic routing

C1300-24XS supports Static routing, RIP v2 and PBR, not OSPF. The Catalyst 1300X series supports OSPF v2 and v3 but uses a different fixed port configuration.

Subzero cold-start operation

C1300-24XS operates down to -5°C after startup, but cold starts require at least 0°C ambient temperature. Subzero startup therefore falls outside its supported starting conditions.

Questions & Answers

What does the C1300-24XS part number mean?

C1300-24XS identifies a Catalyst 1300 switch with 24 logical 10 Gigabit connections and an SFP+-focused configuration. C1300 identifies the series; 24 identifies the connection total; XS identifies the 10 Gigabit SFP+ configuration, including four shared copper/SFP+ pairs. The PID has no separate uplink-code or license-tier suffix.

How is the Catalyst 1300 switch managed?

The Catalyst 1300 switch supports an HTTP/HTTPS web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 or USB-C console, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, and SNMP. An optional Bluetooth dongle also permits browser or CLI access. Specify CAB-CONSOLE-USB-C or CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 when a separate console connection is required.

What software subscription does C1300-24XS require?

C1300-24XS requires no software subscription to operate, so there is no minimum operating subscription term to select. The embedded customized Linux OS supplies the switch software rather than Cisco IOS. Specify the hardware and connection accessories without adding a mandatory software subscription solely to enable normal switch operation.

How many switches can a C1300-24XS stack contain?

C1300-24XS supports eight-member hardware stacks with other Catalyst 1300 Family 2 switches through front-panel 10G interfaces. Cross-stacking with Family 1 or Catalyst 1300X is not supported. Ring and chain arrangements are available; verify family membership and allocate the required front-panel connections before completing the switch and interconnect order.

Which optics can C1300-24XS use for 10G connections?

C1300-24XS supports SFP-10G-SR for multimode fiber and SFP-10G-LR for single-mode fiber, with SFP-H10GB-CU1M available for a 1 m direct copper connection. Order the selected connection parts separately, matching the far-end interface and fiber type. Each combo pair allows only one active medium, rather than simultaneous copper and optical connections.

What routing features does C1300-24XS support?

C1300-24XS supports Static routing, RIP v2 and PBR, with 7168 total IPv4 routes and no OSPF support. The customized Linux OS supplies these functions without an operating software subscription. Specify the intended routing design against those capabilities rather than assuming the feature set of a Catalyst 1300X switch.

Is C1300-24XS a full-width rack-mount switch?

Yes, C1300-24XS is a full-width 1U rack switch measuring 444.3 mm wide, 286 mm deep and 43.94 mm high, with a weight of 4.15 kg. RCKMNT-1RU-1K= provides compatible rack mounting if a separate kit is needed. Confirm usable cabinet depth and accessory requirements before the PO.

What is the lifecycle status of Catalyst 1300?

Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 1300. C1300-24XS remains a current model rather than an announced discontinued model. The end-of-sale milestones for older CBS350 switches concern those predecessors, not this part number, so their retirement dates do not establish a retirement date for this switch.

Which older switches does C1300-24XS replace?

C1300-24XS replaces discontinued CBS350-24XS-AR, CBS350-24XS-AU, CBS350-24XS-BR, CBS350-24XS-CN, CBS350-24XS-EU, CBS350-24XS-IN, CBS350-24XS-JP, CBS350-24XS-NA, CBS350-24XS-SP, CBS350-24XS-TW and CBS350-24XS-UK, which reached end of sale on May 30, 2024. For a regional refresh, match the existing fiber connections and power-cord requirements before specifying the replacement hardware order.

What conditions and warranties does ORM offer for C1300-24XS?

New sealed and certified refurbished C1300-24XS orders carry separate ORM warranty terms; Cisco's hardware warranty is limited lifetime with return-to-factory replacement. ORM offers up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply.

What is the difference between C1300-24XS and C1300-24P-4X?

C1300-24P-4X supplies PoE+ on 24 Gigabit copper access ports with a 195W budget, while C1300-24XS supplies no PoE. The powered model suits buyers connecting equipment that needs power over Ethernet; C1300-24XS suits buyers prioritizing 10G fiber connections to separately powered equipment rather than powered Gigabit endpoints.

What is the difference between C1300-24XS and C1300-24XT?

C1300-24XS has 20 dedicated 10G SFP+ ports, while C1300-24XT has 20 dedicated 10G copper ports. Both also provide four shared copper/SFP+ connections. Select the fiber-focused model for predominantly optical links; select the copper-focused model when most high-speed connections terminate on twisted-pair interfaces rather than optical transceivers.

What is the difference between C1300-24XS and C1300-12XS?

C1300-24XS provides 24 logical 10G connections, while C1300-12XS provides 12: ten dedicated SFP+ ports and two copper/SFP+ combo pairs. The smaller model suits lower connection counts; the 24-port model suits buyers needing more optical connections in one switch. Size the required logical connections before choosing between them.

Can C1300-24XS start in below-freezing temperatures?

C1300-24XS can operate from -5°C to 50°C, but a cold start requires an ambient temperature of at least 0°C. A location that remains below freezing cannot rely on the operating minimum as its startup limit. Specify the expected startup temperature separately from the normal running temperature before ordering.
