Ports

The Cisco C1-WS3850-24U/K9 Switch is equipped with 24 ports, making it an ideal choice for small to medium-sized businesses. These ports provide the necessary connectivity to connect various devices such as computers, printers, servers, and other network equipment.

Increased Flexibility

With 24 ports, this switch offers increased flexibility in terms of network expansion and device connectivity. You can easily connect multiple devices without the need for additional switches or hubs, simplifying your network infrastructure and reducing costs.

High-Speed Connectivity

The 24 ports on the Cisco C1-WS3850-24U/K9 Switch support Gigabit Ethernet, allowing for high-speed data transfer. This is especially beneficial for businesses that require fast and reliable network connections to support bandwidth-intensive applications such as video streaming, large file transfers, and cloud-based services.

Improved Network Performance

Each port on the switch operates independently, providing dedicated bandwidth to connected devices. This ensures that network performance remains consistent even when multiple devices are simultaneously accessing the network. With 24 ports, you can easily distribute the network load across multiple devices, preventing congestion and ensuring smooth operation.

Scalability

The 24-port configuration of the Cisco C1-WS3850-24U/K9 Switch allows for future scalability. As your business grows and demands increase, you can easily add more devices to your network without the need to invest in additional switches. This scalability ensures that your network infrastructure can keep up with your expanding needs.

Easy Management

The Cisco C1-WS3850-24U/K9 Switch comes with advanced management features that allow for easy configuration and monitoring of the ports. You can set up VLANs, prioritize traffic, and implement security measures to optimize network performance and ensure data integrity.

Energy Efficiency

With 24 ports, the Cisco C1-WS3850-24U/K9 Switch provides energy-efficient connectivity. It incorporates power-saving features such as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and intelligent power management, which automatically adjusts power consumption based on the connected devices' requirements. This not only reduces energy costs but also contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly network environment.

Redundancy and Reliability

The 24-port configuration offers redundancy and reliability in network connectivity. In case one port fails or experiences issues, you have multiple alternative ports available to ensure uninterrupted network connectivity. This redundancy minimizes downtime and enhances the overall reliability of your network infrastructure.

PoE

The Cisco C1-WS3850-24U/K9 Switch supports UPoE (Universal Power over Ethernet), a powerful feature that provides both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. This feature is highly beneficial for businesses that require efficient power delivery to devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras, and other PoE-enabled devices.

Simplified Deployment

With UPoE, you can eliminate the need for separate power cables or power adapters for PoE-enabled devices. This simplifies the deployment process, reduces cable clutter, and minimizes the overall installation cost. You can conveniently connect your devices through a single Ethernet cable, saving time and effort.

Cost Savings

By leveraging UPoE, you can significantly reduce the cost of deploying PoE-enabled devices. Eliminating the need for additional power cables or adapters not only saves money on hardware costs but also reduces ongoing maintenance expenses. This cost-effectiveness makes the Cisco C1-WS3850-24U/K9 Switch an attractive choice for businesses looking to maximize their budget without compromising on functionality.

Flexibility in Device Placement

UPoE provides flexibility in device placement as it allows you to connect devices in locations where power outlets may not be readily available. This is particularly advantageous for businesses with open office layouts or remote work environments, where devices need to be placed strategically without being limited by power source proximity. With UPoE, you have the freedom to position your devices wherever they are most efficient.

Power Management

The Cisco C1-WS3850-24U/K9 Switch offers advanced power management capabilities for UPoE-enabled devices. You can monitor and control power usage, set power priorities, and allocate power based on device requirements. This granular control ensures efficient power allocation and prevents overloading, maximizing the uptime and performance of your network.

Future Compatibility

UPoE is a forward-looking technology that prepares your network for future advancements in PoE-enabled devices. By adopting a switch that supports UPoE, you can ensure that your network infrastructure is compatible with upcoming devices that require higher power delivery. This future compatibility safeguards your investment and provides a seamless transition when upgrading your network.

Enhanced Network Efficiency

By combining data and power delivery over a single cable, UPoE eliminates the need for separate power supplies or adapters. This reduces cable clutter and simplifies cable management, resulting in a more organized and efficient network setup. The reduced complexity also makes troubleshooting and maintenance tasks easier, saving time and enhancing overall network efficiency.
