Fanless Managed Access for Rack-Based SMB Networks

SF300-48 is a fanless, managed Layer 2+ access switch with 48 10/100 Ethernet ports and four fixed Gigabit uplinks. Two uplinks provide dedicated copper connections; the remaining two provide a choice between copper and SFP fiber connections, with only one medium active per combo port. The Rack-Mount 1U chassis belongs to the Small Business 300 family and provides non-PoE access for separately powered endpoints. The discontinued SF300-48P differs by supplying PoE on its access ports. For an existing Fast Ethernet installation, the Cisco 300 Series configuration separates endpoint connections from the faster uplinks without requiring a removable uplink card.

Technical Details

17.6 Gbps switching capacity accommodates traffic across the access ports and Gigabit uplinks. 13.1 Mpps forwarding performance measures packet handling with 64-byte packets. Static IPv4 routing permits communication between configured IP subnets when Layer 3 system mode is enabled. SF300-48 maintains a 16000-entry MAC address table for Ethernet forwarding. STP, RSTP, and MSTP provide spanning-tree controls, while LACP supports negotiated link aggregation. Management is available through a browser-based interface, CLI access over SSH or Telnet, and SNMP. HTTPS encrypts browser management traffic, and SSH provides an encrypted command-line connection. The internal universal AC supply accepts 100-240V AC, while the published maximum consumption of 24.8W provides a figure for facility power planning.

Ordering

SF300-48 is offered in new sealed and certified refurbished condition; specify the condition, quantity, and regional power connection 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. Cisco's original limited lifetime coverage ended August 31, 2023; ORM provides new units with up to a 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished units with up to 1 year, plus 30-day returns on every condition, with terms applying. Volume orders accept POs, government buyers have Net-30, and RMA includes advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Legacy procurement and migration

SF300-48 requires legacy-stock procurement following its August 2, 2018 end-of-sale milestone. The replacement chain passes through discontinued SF350-48-K9-NA and CBS350-48T-4G-NA models before reaching C1300-48T-4G.

Fiber optics require selection

Fiber connections require a compatible transceiver selection, such as MGBSX1 for multimode fiber or MGBLX1 for single-mode fiber. Specify the transceiver PID and fiber type on the purchase order rather than requesting an unspecified SFP.

Integrated QoS prioritizes IP telephony while fiber uplinks guarantee reliable backbone connectivity. Benefit: enhanced call clarity, streamlined network management and scalable uplink performance.

Campus Wiring‐Closet Fiber Extension and Aggregation

On a multi-floor campus, the SF300-48-48 10/100 ports with dual gigabit copper uplinks and two mini-GBIC fiber modules aggregates edge switches onto a high-speed fiber backbone. Support for link aggregation and rapid spanning-tree ensures fault-tolerant connectivity. Benefit: increased bandwidth capacity, flexible fiber deployment and improved network availability.

High-Availability Retail Store Network with Redundant Uplinks

In a retail environment, the SF300-48-48 10/100 ports combined with two 10/100/1000 uplinks and two combo mini-GBIC slots establishes dual, redundant paths to the central data center. SNMP monitoring and smart stacking enable automatic failover and zero-downtime POS transactions. Benefit: continuous point-of-sale operations, superior fault resilience and consolidated management.

Best For

Multi-Site Standardization

When existing branches need a common administration interface across different language groups, the seven interface languages provide a specific rollout consideration. English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and simplified Chinese are supported. Confirm the administrators' preferred interface language and the configuration handover requirements before specifying the order.

Lab And Staging

When a staging purchase must reproduce an existing access-control policy, the supported limit of 512 ACL rules establishes a configuration constraint. Prepare the intended match criteria and rule sequence before acceptance testing. Specify the required configuration checks and compare the complete rule count with that limit before the PO.

Not Suitable If

Gigabit speed on every access port

SF300-48 limits its 48 access ports to 10/100 Ethernet. C1300-48T-4G provides 48 Gigabit access ports and is the current model at the end of the replacement chain.

PoE-powered phones or access points

SF300-48 supplies no PoE output on its access ports. Endpoints requiring power through their Ethernet connection cannot obtain operating power directly from this model.

Questions & Answers

What does the SF300-48 part number mean?

SF300-48 identifies a Fast Ethernet model in the 300 series with 48 access ports. SF identifies the Fast Ethernet model group, 300 identifies the series, and 48 identifies the access-port count. The associated ordering PID is SRW248G4-K9, with SRW248G4-K9-NA naming the North American ordering variant.

How is SF300-48 managed?

SF300-48 supports browser-based management, CLI access over SSH or Telnet, and SNMP management. HTTPS protects traffic to the web interface, while SSH provides encrypted command-line access. These management paths support configuration and monitoring without requiring a cloud dashboard as the switch's administration interface.

What is the lifecycle status of SF300-48?

SF300-48 reached end of sale on August 2, 2018, and Cisco support ended on August 31, 2023. Its North American replacement was SF350-48-K9-NA, which is also discontinued. The subsequent replacement chain proceeds through discontinued CBS350-48T-4G-NA to the current C1300-48T-4G model for migration planning.

What conditions and warranty does ORM Systems offer for SF300-48?

New sealed and certified refurbished SF300-48 units are offered with ORM warranties of up to a three-year extended term for new hardware and up to one year for refurbished hardware. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original limited lifetime coverage ended August 31, 2023.

Which older switches did Cisco SF300-48 replace?

Cisco SF300-48 replaced the older SRW248G4-AU, SRW248G4-EU, and SRW248G4-UK ordering variants through corresponding SRW248G4-K9 regional variants. The older products provided WebView-managed Fast Ethernet switching with Gigabit connections. For identification, distinguish those older names from the K9 ordering variants associated with the Small Business 300 model.

What is the difference between SF300-48 and SF300-48P?

SF300-48 supplies no PoE, whereas SF300-48P provides PoE on 48 access ports with a shared 375W budget. Both models have 48 Fast Ethernet access ports and Gigabit uplinks, and both are discontinued. SF300-48 serves separately powered endpoints; SF300-48P served installations requiring power through the access switch.

What is the difference between SF300-48 and SF300-24?

SF300-48 has 48 Fast Ethernet access ports, while SF300-24 has 24 Fast Ethernet access ports. Both models provide four Gigabit uplink connections and belong to the retired Small Business 300 family. For matching installed hardware, the former identifies the higher-density configuration and the latter the lower-density configuration.

What is the difference between SF300-48 and C1300-48T-4G?

SF300-48 has 48 10/100 access ports, whereas C1300-48T-4G has 48 Gigabit access ports. C1300-48T-4G is the current model reached through the replacement chain. SF300-48 addresses matching legacy Fast Ethernet hardware; C1300-48T-4G addresses a migration requiring Gigabit connectivity at every access port rather than only at the uplinks.

Which fiber transceivers can Cisco SF300-48 use?

Cisco SF300-48 supports MGBSX1 for multimode Gigabit fiber connections and MGBLX1 for single-mode Gigabit fiber connections. Select the transceiver to match the installed fiber and remote interface. The SFP connection shares its combo port with the corresponding copper connection, so both media cannot operate simultaneously on that port.

Can SF300-48 route traffic between VLANs?

Yes, SF300-48 supports static IPv4 routing between configured IP subnets when Layer 3 system mode is enabled. Its routing capability corresponds to Layer 2+ under a static-routing classification. Configure the IP interfaces and static routes for the intended subnet connections rather than expecting routes to be learned through dynamic routing.

Can Small Business 300 switches be hardware stacked?

No, Small Business 300 switches such as SF300-48 do not provide hardware stacking. Connecting multiple units through Ethernet uplinks does not create a shared hardware stack or stacked switching fabric. Plan each switch as an individual managed device, with its own configuration and the required inter-switch Ethernet connections.

Is Cisco SF300-48 a rack-mount switch?

Yes, Cisco SF300-48 is a Rack-Mount 1U switch with a 440 mm-wide chassis. Its published height is 44.45 mm, and its weight is 3.39 kg. Confirm the mounting hardware supplied with the selected condition and the rack's available space before specifying the unit on the purchase order.

What power input does SF300-48 require?

SF300-48 uses an internal universal AC power supply accepting 100-240V AC at 47-63 Hz. Its published maximum power consumption is 24.8W. Specify the appropriate regional ordering variant and power connection for the installation; the switch's AC input powers the switch itself rather than supplying PoE to attached endpoints.
