Cisco / C1300-12XS / 10 x 10G SFP+ & 2 x 10G combo & 1 x GE OOB Managed Switch

The Cisco / C1300-12XS / 10 x 10G SFP+ & 2 x 10G Combo & 1 x GE OOB Managed Switch is a genuine Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series enterprise-class Layer 3 managed switch built for high-speed aggregation, data centre access, and 10 Gigabit backbone deployments in small and medium-sized businesses, enterprise branch offices, retail stores, schools, and wiring closet environments. It features ten 10 Gbps SFP+ fibre slots alongside two RJ45/SFP+ combo ports for 10 Gbps copper or fibre links. FS.com Furthermore, a dedicated 1 x Gigabit Ethernet out-of-band (OOB) management port ensures administrators always maintain secure, independent access to the switch — completely separate from the production data network. The C1300-12XS delivers a switching capacity of 240 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 178.57 Mpps EdgeOptic, providing true non-blocking wire-speed performance across all 12 ports simultaneously. Managed through the Cisco Business Dashboard and Cisco Business mobile app, the switch provides a simple and reliable management experience HPE Store accessible from both desktop and mobile interfaces without requiring complex CLI expertise. Additionally, the Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series supports dual images, allowing software upgrades with minimal network downtime EdgeOptic — a critical capability for production environments where continuous availability is non-negotiable. Security stays comprehensive and enterprise-grade throughout. Advanced defence mechanisms including dynamic ARP inspection, IP Source Guard, and DHCP snooping detect and block deliberate network attacks. EdgeOptic Port security and IEEE 802.1X authentication tightly limit access to specific network segments. Consequently, the C1300-12XS protects business-critical traffic without requiring a separate security appliance. Moreover, the Catalyst 1300 Series runs on customised Linux OS software with an intuitive dashboard that simplifies network setup and advanced features that accelerate digital transformation. HPE Store The sleek and compact design provides additional deployment flexibility, including installation outside the wiring closet for sites such as retail stores, open-plan offices, and classrooms. EdgeOptic IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack support and full Layer 3 static routing future-proof the network for next-generation infrastructure demands. The internal power supply operates on AC 120/230V, with a maximum power consumption of 26.1W Optcore — exceptionally efficient for a 10G aggregation switch. Whether you are building a 10G server aggregation layer, upgrading a campus backbone, or deploying high-speed access for a demanding SMB network, the Cisco / C1300-12XS / 10 x 10G SFP+ & 2 x 10G Combo & 1 x GE OOB Managed Switch delivers the performance, security, and Cisco reliability your infrastructure demands.
