Ports

High Port Density

The Cisco Small Business SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch is equipped with a total of 24 ports, providing users with a high port density for their networking needs. Having 24 ports allows for the connection of multiple devices simultaneously, making it ideal for small to medium-sized businesses that require a reliable and efficient network infrastructure.

Efficient Network Expansion

With 24 ports, this managed switch offers ample room for network expansion. It enables businesses to easily connect additional devices such as computers, printers, servers, and IP cameras without the need for additional switches or complex cabling setups. This flexibility ensures that as your business grows, your network can easily accommodate the increased demands without any hassle.

Improved Network Performance

The 24 ports on the Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch allow for better distribution of network traffic. With more ports available, each device connected to the switch can have dedicated bandwidth, minimizing congestion and improving overall network performance. This is especially crucial in environments where data-intensive applications or multimedia streaming is common.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support

The Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch also features Power over Ethernet (PoE) support on all of its 24 ports. This means that you can power compatible devices, such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras, directly through the Ethernet cable. The PoE capability eliminates the need for separate power adapters and reduces cable clutter, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Cost and Energy Savings

By utilizing PoE technology, businesses can significantly reduce costs associated with power consumption. With the Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch's PoE support, you can power devices efficiently and eliminate the need for additional electrical outlets or wiring. This not only saves money on unnecessary equipment but also reduces energy consumption, leading to a greener and more sustainable network infrastructure.

Flexible Deployment Options

The PoE support on all 24 ports of the Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch offers flexible deployment options. You can conveniently place PoE-enabled devices in locations where power outlets are not readily available. This flexibility allows you to optimize your network layout and ensures that critical devices are powered and connected without any constraints.

Quality of Service (QoS)

With 24 ports, the Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch provides extensive support for Quality of Service (QoS) features. QoS allows you to prioritize specific types of network traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive sufficient bandwidth and have a higher priority over less important traffic. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where voice and video communications are essential, as it guarantees optimal performance and minimizes latency.

Enhanced User Experience

By implementing QoS on the Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch, businesses can enhance the user experience for their employees and customers. Voice and video calls are clear, uninterrupted, and have minimal delay, resulting in improved communication and collaboration. Additionally, critical applications such as video conferencing or cloud-based services can operate seamlessly without being affected by other network activities.

Bandwidth Management

The QoS capabilities of the Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch allow administrators to manage and allocate bandwidth effectively. By setting priorities for different types of traffic, you can ensure that mission-critical applications always have the necessary resources available. This prevents bandwidth hogs or non-essential traffic from causing congestion or affecting the performance of essential business processes.

Advanced Security Features

The Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch includes advanced security features to protect your network and data. With 24 ports, these security features can be applied to each connected device, ensuring comprehensive network protection.

Access Control Lists (ACLs)

ACLs enable you to define and enforce network traffic rules based on specific criteria such as source/destination IP addresses, protocols, or ports. By implementing ACLs on the switch, you can restrict unauthorized access, prevent network attacks, and maintain the integrity of your data.

Secure Guest Access

The Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch supports secure guest access to your network. With this feature, you can create separate VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) for guest users, isolating them from your main network. This ensures that guests have internet access while keeping your confidential data and resources protected.

Protection against Network Threats

With the Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch's security features, you can safeguard your network against various threats such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. It provides mechanisms to detect and mitigate these threats, ensuring the availability and reliability of your network infrastructure.

Data Confidentiality and Integrity

By implementing advanced security features on the Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch, you can protect the confidentiality and integrity of your data. Features like Secure Shell (SSH) encryption and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) ensure secure communication between devices, preventing unauthorized access and eavesdropping.

In conclusion, the Cisco Small Business SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch with its 24 ports offers numerous benefits for users. The high port density allows for efficient network expansion and improved network performance. The Power over Ethernet (PoE) support on all 24 ports provides cost and energy savings while offering flexible deployment options. The Quality of Service (QoS) features enhance the user experience and allow for effective bandwidth management. Additionally, the advanced security features protect your network and data, ensuring confidentiality and integrity. With these features, the Cisco SG350X-24PD-K9-NA Managed Switch is a reliable and versatile solution for small to medium-sized businesses in need of a robust network infrastructure.
