SF550X-24 combines 24 10/100 Mbps access ports with four fixed 10G uplinks in a managed, non-PoE rack-mount 1U switch. Its Layer 2+ capabilities serve small-business networks requiring VLAN switching, static routing, and RIP v2. Two uplinks provide shared 10GBASE-T/SFP+ connections, while two provide dedicated SFP+ connections; each shared connection uses either copper or fiber, not both simultaneously. The 550X Series Stackable Managed Switches also support voice VLAN assignment and QoS for separately powered phones. Unlike the base model, the discontinued SF550X-24P provides PoE+ with a shared 195W power budget.

84.8 Gbps switching capacity accommodates nonblocking forwarding, and 63.09 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte packets. SF550X-24 has 512 MB of memory, 256 MB of flash, and a dynamically shared 1.5 MB packet buffer. Its switching features include STP, RSTP, MSTP, and LACP; management includes browser configuration, Textview CLI, and SNMP. Power redundancy uses an external RPS2300 rather than a second internal power supply.
ORM Systems offers SF550X-24 in new sealed and certified refurbished condition; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, quantity, delivery region, and accessory requirements on the purchase order. New units include up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units include up to 1 year, and every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance, government Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA regional stock and RMA coverage.

In a mid-sized data center, deploying the SF550X-24 x 10/100 ports, 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet (2 x 10GBase-T/SFP+ combo + 2 x SFP+) as a top-of-rack switch connects 20 servers at 10/100 Mbps while aggregating traffic through two 10GBase-T and two SFP+ uplinks to the core. This architecture lowers latency by up to 30%, simplifies cabling, and provides seamless scalability for future 10GbE deployments.
A regional branch office with 50 users, VoIP phones, and cloud applications uses the SF550X-24 x 10/100 ports, 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet (2 x 10GBase-T/SFP+ combo + 2 x SFP+) to deliver 24 edge connections at 100 Mbps and dual 10GbE uplinks to the SD-WAN router. The result is sub-millisecond VoIP performance, prioritized traffic with QoS, secure high-throughput cloud backups, and a future-proof network backbone without additional hardware investment.
In a video production facility, the SF550X-24 x 10/100 ports, 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet (2 x 10GBase-T/SFP+ combo + 2 x SFP+) links 24 editing workstations at 100 Mbps to shared NAS storage and live streaming servers over four 10GbE uplinks. This configuration enables real-time 4K editing, cuts file transfer times by 50%, and ensures uninterrupted HD streaming. High-density 10GbE connectivity supports rapid content distribution to cloud platforms and remote teams.
When several sites need a common configuration, text-editable configuration files and SCP transfer support repeatable provisioning. The Cisco Network Plug and Play agent also supports deployment workflows. Before the PO, specify the configuration ownership, provisioning method, and staging requirements rather than assuming each unit arrives configured.
When a site needs local communication between IP networks, the switch supports 256 IPv4 interfaces and 256 IPv6 interfaces, with an IPv6 static-routing scale of 1792 routes. Before ordering, check interface requirements and the proposed IPv6 route count against those limits, including the addresses needed for management.
When a lab needs packet inspection without moving an analyzer between connections, port mirroring supports eight source ports feeding one destination port. Before the PO, identify the monitored connections, reserve the analyzer-facing port, and specify the staging configuration so the inspection setup is included in acceptance planning.
Gigabit speed on every access port
SF550X-24 access ports stop at 100 Mbps. C1300-24T-4X provides 24 Gigabit access ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks as the current migration endpoint.
PoE power for connected endpoints
SF550X-24 cannot power endpoints through its access ports. C1300-24P-4X provides 24 Gigabit PoE ports with four 10G SFP+ uplinks, also changing the access-speed class.
