In a multi-building corporate campus, IT teams deploy Cisco SG500-28P 28-port Gigabit PoE Stackable Managed Switches in each wiring closet to power and aggregate 120+ IP security cameras. Leveraging switch stacking and link aggregation, they establish redundant uplinks and centralized PoE provisioning. Outcome: streamlined cable management, uninterrupted HD video streaming, and robust security operations under a single pane of glass.
A ten-floor financial services headquarters implements a VoIP solution by connecting 200+ Cisco SG500-28P 28-port Gigabit PoE switches—one per floor—to power IP phones and deploy VLAN-segmented voice and data networks. Advanced QoS policies and stackable management ensure voice traffic prioritization and fault tolerance. Outcome: crystal-clear call quality, rapid provisioning, and scalable voice infrastructure.
A large university IT department consolidates 50+ wireless access points across academic buildings using Cisco SG500-28P 28-port Gigabit PoE Stackable Managed Switches in each network closet. With PoE delivery, VLAN segmentation for student, faculty, and guest networks, and stack resiliency, administrators maintain seamless roaming and performance. Outcome: high-density Wi-Fi coverage, simplified trunking, and centralized network visibility.
Maintaining an installation originally built around SGE2000P creates a legacy replacement purchasing trigger. SG500-28P is the named replacement for that retired model, whose sales ended December 30, 2012. Confirm the retained configuration, endpoint requirements and installation hardware before specifying replacement quantities on the purchase order.
When an installed fleet needs tested spare equipment rather than a redesign, specify certified refurbished units with the required inspection scope. ORM verifies power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port and clean boot. Put the condition, spare quantity and receiving region on the purchase order.
10G uplinks to distribution
SG500-28P has Gigabit Ethernet uplinks rather than 10G uplinks. C1300-24P-4X provides 24 Gigabit access ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks.
Active Cisco service and support
SG500-28P reached its last date of support on April 30, 2023. Cisco service has ended; C1300-24P-4X is the current migration endpoint.

SG500-28P identifies the Gigabit 500 Series powered model: 28 covers 24 access ports plus four uplinks, and P identifies PoE+. SG500-28P-K9 is its associated ordering identity.
SG500-28P supports a web UI, Textview CLI, SSH, Telnet and SNMP management. FindIT provides discovery, and Cisco OnPlus integration is supported.
SG500-28P is discontinued: sales ended April 12, 2018, and Cisco support ended April 30, 2023. Migration has progressed beyond the discontinued 550X and Cisco Business 350 families to C1300-24P-4X. New sealed inventory does not restart Cisco support.
ORM offers SG500-28P new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year of coverage. Every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's Limited Lifetime hardware warranty has ended because Cisco support ended April 30, 2023.
SG500-28P replaces SGE2000P, whose sales ended December 30, 2012, and support ended December 31, 2017. That relationship identifies a legacy migration target, not renewed Cisco support: SG500-28P has itself reached retirement. Confirm retained configurations before ordering replacement hardware.
SG500-28P provides a shared 180W budget with a 30W per-port maximum; all powered ports cannot draw their maximum simultaneously.
SG500-28P has four fixed Gigabit uplinks: two copper/SFP combo interfaces and two SFP interfaces that can serve stacking. Each combo interface activates either its copper connection or its fiber connection, not both simultaneously. Account for interfaces assigned to stacking when planning uplinks.
SG500-28P powers attached endpoints, while SG500-28 does not. Both belong to the discontinued 500 Series and retain the same access-port density. The powered model suits legacy PoE endpoints; the unpowered sibling suits connections where endpoint power comes from elsewhere.
SG500-28P has 24 Gigabit access ports, while SG500-52P has 48. Both models are discontinued. The smaller model addresses legacy installations with fewer access connections; the larger sibling addresses higher connection counts. Select by required access-port density rather than treating the model numbers as copper-port counts.
C1300-24P-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks, while SG500-28P provides Gigabit uplinks. C1300-24P-4X is the current migration endpoint after the discontinued intermediate models. The older unit suits legacy Gigabit uplink requirements; the current replacement suits buyers specifying 10G connections to distribution.
