Fanless Access Networking for Small Business Racks

CBS250-24T-4X is a fanless, Layer 2+ smart managed switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet copper access ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks in a 1U rack-mount chassis. The non-PoE configuration connects independently powered computers, printers, and servers without supplying endpoint power. Cisco Business 250 Series switches serve small-business networks requiring configurable traffic segmentation and local forwarding without a modular uplink assembly. The uplink cages accept 1G or 10G connections, allowing Gigabit access devices to connect through faster distribution links. The discontinued CBS250-24P-4X is the nearest powered sibling, adding PoE+ with a 195W shared budget. Guest VLANs and per-port security provide controls for connected devices. An RJ-45 console connection provides local setup access when direct administrative access is required.

CBS250-24T-4X price for new stock is $698.25, a 37.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,120.50. CBS250-24T-4X refurb price is $370.44. CBS250-24T-4X is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

128 Gbps switching capacity provides a nonblocking fabric for simultaneous port traffic, while 95.23 Mpps forwarding handles 64-byte packets at wire speed. Static routing provides configured paths between local networks rather than dynamic route exchange. An 8000-entry MAC table stores learned destinations, and 255 active VLANs separate forwarding domains. STP, RSTP, and MSTP manage bridged topologies; LACP forms configured link aggregations. 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash provide working memory and image storage. CBS250-24T-4X shares a 1.5 MB packet buffer across its ports, while eight hardware queues provide priority treatment for classified traffic. Cisco Business 250 Series Smart Switches support SNMP monitoring, browser configuration, scriptable CLI access, and administration through Cisco Business Dashboard. Dual firmware images support image changes, and the front-panel USB Type-A slot supports file and image handling. 27.54W maximum system draw at 110V provides the higher published figure for allocating rack power; consumption at 220V is 27.25W.

Ordering

Specify CBS250-24T-4X in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, recording the chosen condition, quantity, and delivery region on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition, and PSU status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM warranties are up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on both conditions, terms apply; Cisco's separate limited lifetime coverage ends October 31, 2029. Enterprise and volume orders can use accepted POs, government Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement through UK, EU, US, and MEA stock/RMA.

Best For

US Branch Rollout

When a branch order ships to a US installation, purchasing must identify the regional orderable model rather than relying on the unsuffixed hardware name. CBS250-24T-4X-NA is the North American configuration. Specify that full PID and confirm the destination-specific power cord before releasing the PO.

Local Gateway Sizing

When several local networks need inter-VLAN forwarding without dynamic route exchange, the interface count becomes a sizing requirement. CBS250-24T-4X supports 16 IP interfaces, including VLAN, physical-port, LAG, and loopback interfaces. Map the intended interface assignments and gateway placement before specifying the switch on the PO.

Packet Capture Staging

When a staging bench needs packet capture before units move into service, the monitoring connection must be planned alongside the test links. CBS250-24T-4X can mirror four source ports to one destination port. Reserve the analyzer connection and define the capture sources before ordering equipment for the bench.

Not Suitable If

PoE power for connected endpoints

CBS250-24T-4X supplies no endpoint power. C1200-24P-4X is a current 24-port Gigabit PoE alternative with four 10G SFP+ uplinks; specify endpoint power requirements separately.

Dynamic routing between network segments

CBS250-24T-4X provides static routing rather than dynamic route exchange. Routes must be configured rather than automatically learned, so this configuration cannot supply a dynamic routing function.

Native multigigabit copper access

CBS250-24T-4X has 10/100/1000 copper access ports; faster speeds are confined to SFP+ uplinks. Copper endpoints needing more than 1 Gbps cannot negotiate that access speed.

Questions & Answers

What does the CBS250-24T-4X part number mean?

CBS250-24T-4X identifies a Cisco Business 250 smart switch: CBS250 is the family, 24T denotes 24 non-PoE 10/100/1000 copper ports, and 4X denotes four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks. The hardware name has no license-tier suffix. A regional suffix completes the orderable PID; CBS250-24T-4X-NA is the North American version.

How is CBS250-24T-4X managed?

CBS250-24T-4X is managed through HTTP/HTTPS web UI, full or menu-based CLI over console or SSH/Telnet, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, and SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3. Network Plug and Play supports provisioning, while an embedded Dashboard probe removes the need for a separate probe appliance.

Is CBS250-24T-4X discontinued?

Yes, CBS250-24T-4X is discontinued: North American models reached end of sale on October 29, 2024. Software maintenance and vulnerability/security support ended October 29, 2025. The last support date is October 31, 2029, subject to entitlement. C1200-24T-4X is the current replacement for a successor purchase.

What conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for CBS250-24T-4X?

ORM Systems offers CBS250-24T-4X new sealed or certified refurbished: new orders receive up to a 3-year extended warranty; refurbished orders receive up to 1 year. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's separate limited lifetime hardware warranty is bounded by the last support date of October 31, 2029.

Which older switches does this Cisco Business 250 configuration replace?

CBS250-24T-4X replaces the discontinued SG250X-24-K9-AR, SG250X-24-K9-AU, SG250X-24-K9-BR, SG250X-24-K9-EU, SG250X-24-K9-JP, SG250X-24-K9-NA, and SG250X-24-K9-UK configurations. Those predecessors reached end of sale on October 30, 2021. Match the original region when replacing an installed unit, and review C1200-24T-4X when a current-generation purchase is required.

Which uplink optics and cables work with CBS250-24T-4X?

CBS250-24T-4X supports SFP-10G-SR for multimode fiber and SFP-10G-LR for single-mode fiber, plus SFP-H10GB-CU1M for a 1 m copper direct-attach link. The fixed uplinks operate at 1G or 10G. Match both ends of the connection and specify the chosen optic or cable separately from the base unit.

Can CBS250-24T-4X route between VLANs?

Yes, CBS250-24T-4X routes IPv4 traffic using 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. Layer 3 interfaces can be assigned to physical ports, LAGs, VLANs, or loopbacks. This is static routing rather than dynamic route exchange, so gateway placement and the route list must be defined before configuration.

Can this Cisco Business 250 switch be installed in a standard rack?

Yes, the CBS250-24T-4X configuration of the Cisco Business 250 Series is a 1U rack-mount switch. The chassis is 445 mm wide, 240 mm deep, and 44 mm high, with a 2.78 kg weight. A mounting kit is included; verify rack space and cable clearance before ordering.

Does CBS250-24T-4X have redundant power supplies?

No, CBS250-24T-4X has one fixed internal AC power supply rather than a dual-supply redundant arrangement. The unit accepts 100-240V AC at 50-60 Hz. Worst-case system consumption is 27.54W at 110V and 27.25W at 220V. Specify the appropriate regional power cord and plan the power feed accordingly.

Does the 24-port non-PoE Cisco Business 250 switch power phones or access points?

No, the CBS250-24T-4X configuration of the Cisco Business 250 Series does not provide PoE or PoE+ output. Its copper access ports carry data only, and the unit takes power from its internal AC supply. Phones, wireless access points, and other powered endpoints need a separate power source with this configuration.

What is the difference between CBS250-24T-4X and CBS250-24P-4X?

CBS250-24P-4X provides PoE+ with a 195W shared budget, whereas CBS250-24T-4X provides no endpoint power. Both have 24 Gigabit copper ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. Both are discontinued; the powered model serves existing installations requiring PoE, while the T model serves endpoints with independent power.

What is the difference between CBS250-24T-4X and CBS250-24T-4G?

CBS250-24T-4X has four 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas CBS250-24T-4G has four 1G SFP uplinks. Both configurations have 24 non-PoE Gigabit copper access ports and are discontinued. The 4X model matches a 10G distribution connection; the 4G model matches an existing Gigabit fiber uplink requirement.

What is the difference between CBS250-24T-4X and C1200-24T-4X?

C1200-24T-4X is the current replacement for the discontinued CBS250-24T-4X; both have 24 Gigabit copper ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. CBS250-24T-4X serves replacement orders for existing installations, while C1200-24T-4X is the model to specify for a current-generation purchase with the same port configuration.

How many source ports can the Cisco Business 250 Series mirror?

The Cisco Business 250 Series can mirror four source ports to one destination port on the CBS250-24T-4X configuration. Port mirroring copies traffic for a network analyzer or RMON probe. Reserve the destination connection before staging and identify the source ports to observe; the capture plan must fit that limit.
