CBS250-24FP-4G-EU is a smart-managed Layer 2+ access switch with 24 Gigabit PoE+ copper ports, four fixed Gigabit SFP uplinks, and a full-width 1U rack chassis. The Cisco Business 250 Series serves small-business networks connecting computers, IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance equipment. Dedicated fiber uplinks leave the copper access interfaces available for endpoints rather than sharing their connections. Compared with the discontinued CBS250-24P-4G-EU, this version provides a larger shared endpoint-power allocation while retaining the same access density and uplink class. The 24-port Gigabit PoE+ configuration fits an existing Gigabit access design; its fixed uplink architecture does not provide a removable card bay for a later uplink-speed upgrade.

56 Gbps switching capacity provides nonblocking forwarding across the copper and fiber interfaces. 41.66 Mpps forwarding at a 64-byte packet size supplies the packet-processing reference for traffic sizing. 370W of shared PoE power is allocated across connected powered devices rather than reserved at each port's maximum. Static IPv4 routing accommodates 32 routes and 16 IP interfaces for communication between local segments. CBS250-24FP-4G-EU has 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for its operating software and configuration. A dynamically shared 1.5 MB packet buffer handles queued traffic across the interfaces. STP/RSTP/MSTP address switching loops, while LACP supports bundled links. Segmentation extends to 255 active VLANs, and eight hardware queues provide traffic-priority handling. Access control supports 512 rules for filtering or rate limiting. Plan electrical capacity around the 449.7W maximum draw with PoE load, rather than the endpoint-power allocation alone.
ORM Systems supplies CBS250-24FP-4G-EU new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units; Cisco's separate limited lifetime hardware warranty ends no later than October 31, 2029. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed links on every port, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, and accessories on the PO; returns are 30 days in every condition, with terms applying. For enterprise and volume orders, PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock/RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA are available.

When a phone, camera, or wireless rollout increases powered-endpoint demand, per-device requirements matter before the port count is filled. Each powered interface can deliver 30W, but power is allocated across attached devices. Confirm endpoint peak requirements and startup behavior, then include the planned endpoint load when sizing the purchase order.
When several small offices need a common provisioning process, Cisco Network Plug and Play supports initial configuration and later provisioning updates. An embedded Cisco Business Dashboard probe avoids a separate probe appliance or virtual machine at each location. Specify the management approach and configuration baseline before releasing a multi-site purchase order.
When replacement units must be prepared before installation, the front-panel USB Type-A connection supports file and image management. Dual firmware images provide a second image for upgrade handling, while editable configuration files support repeatable loading. Identify the approved firmware image, saved configuration, and required staging files before ordering the spare quantity.
10G uplinks to distribution
Four fixed uplinks are limited to 1G SFP operation. C1200-24FP-4X is the current migration option with four 10G SFP+ uplinks.
Ongoing security software maintenance
Vulnerability and security support ended October 29, 2025, before the final hardware support date. C1200-24FP-4G is the current migration replacement for a new hardware standard.
Fanless operation in occupied rooms
The chassis uses one fan and has a 34.8 dBA acoustic rating at 25°C. A requirement for fanless operation excludes this model.

CBS250-24FP-4G-EU identifies a Cisco Business 250 switch: CBS250 names the family, 24 specifies the copper access-port count, FP denotes the Full PoE configuration, and 4G identifies four Gigabit SFP uplinks. EU is the regional ordering suffix for the European Economic Area and other designated markets, not a software-license tier.
The Cisco Business 250 series supports a browser-based HTTP/HTTPS interface, full or menu-based CLI through the RJ-45 console or SSH/Telnet, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard, and the Cisco Business mobile app. The embedded Dashboard probe runs on the switch. Select the intended local or centralized management method when preparing the deployment configuration.
CBS250-24FP-4G-EU provides a shared 370W PoE budget across 24 PoE+ ports, with a 30W maximum on an individual powered port. The budget does not support every port drawing its maximum simultaneously. Size the combined endpoint load rather than treating Full PoE as unrestricted power on all ports.
CBS250-24FP-4G-EU has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not SFP+ uplinks or a removable uplink-card bay. Compatible optical choices include MGBSX1 for multimode fiber to 500 m and MGBLX1 for single-mode fiber to 10 km. Specify transceivers and the matching fiber connection separately from the switch.
CBS250-24FP-4G-EU supports static IPv4 routing with 32 routes and 16 IP interfaces and is a Layer 2+ switch. Interfaces can be configured on physical ports, link aggregation groups, VLANs, or loopbacks. Use the switch for a bounded static-routing design rather than a requirement for dynamic route learning.
The Cisco Business 250 series requires no separate license or subscription to operate; features are included with the hardware purchase. There are no minimum subscription terms or network-license tiers to add for this model. Included operating features do not extend the product's published software-maintenance, security-support, or final service milestones.
CBS250-24FP-4G-EU occupies one rack unit and measures 445 mm wide, 345 mm deep, and 44 mm high, with a weight of 4.6 kg. The mounting kit is included with the device. Allow installation space for the chassis, cabling, and airflow rather than treating the switch as a narrow desktop model.
Yes, CBS250-24FP-4G-EU reached end of sale on October 29, 2024, and its last date of support is October 31, 2029. Software maintenance and vulnerability/security support ended October 29, 2025. C1200-24FP-4G is the migration replacement; hardware support remaining does not mean ongoing security-fix coverage.
ORM Systems offers CBS250-24FP-4G-EU new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco's separate hardware warranty is limited lifetime, bounded by the October 31, 2029 last date of support, not an unlimited support commitment.
CBS250-24FP-4G-EU allocates 370W to PoE, while CBS250-24P-4G-EU allocates 195W; both have 24 Gigabit PoE+ access ports and four Gigabit SFP uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The FP version suits higher combined endpoint demand, while the P version suits a lower aggregate load within its smaller power budget.
CBS250-24FP-4G-EU carries four 1G SFP uplinks, whereas CBS250-24FP-4X-EU carries four 10G SFP+ uplinks. Both models are discontinued. Existing Gigabit uplink infrastructure aligns with the 4G configuration; a network requiring 10G distribution connections needs the 4X uplink architecture rather than different optics in a 4G slot.
CBS250-24FP-4G-EU is discontinued, while C1200-24FP-4G is its current migration replacement. Both configurations provide 24 Gigabit Full PoE access ports and four Gigabit SFP uplinks. Exact-model replacement requirements point to the CBS250 unit; buyers establishing a new hardware standard should specify the current Catalyst 1200 replacement.
No, the Cisco Business 250 series does not provide hardware stacking; each switch remains a separate forwarding device. Cisco Business Dashboard can centralize administration, but that management view is not a shared control plane or stacked fabric. Do not include stacking adapters or dedicated stack cables on this switch's purchase order.
