Cisco Business CBS350-24P-4G 24-Port Gigabit PoE Managed Switch with 4 SFP
Not every office needs 48 ports to cover its network. A smaller branch, a single-floor office, or a growing retail location running a modest number of IP phones, wireless access points, and workstations often needs exactly 24 well-managed, PoE-capable ports — not the cost or unused capacity of a larger switch built for a bigger deployment. The Cisco Business CBS350-24P-4G delivers precisely that, bringing the same managed switching sophistication and PoE+ power delivery as Cisco’s larger CBS350 models, scaled to a genuinely right-sized port count.
This is Cisco’s 24-port entry point into the Business 350 Series, giving small and medium businesses enterprise-grade network management without paying for capacity a smaller deployment doesn’t need.
24 Gigabit PoE+ Ports for Right-Sized Business Networks
The CBS350-24P-4G provides 24 x 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports, all PoE+ compliant, giving businesses the ability to power IP phones, wireless access points, and IP surveillance cameras directly through their network cable rather than installing separate power adapters at every device location. For a smaller office or branch location, this port count comfortably covers a genuine mix of workstations, phones, and wireless infrastructure without unused capacity sitting idle.
Why Right-Sizing Port Count Genuinely Matters
Businesses that overspecify a 48-port switch for a 24-port deployment pay for capacity that may sit unused for years, while businesses that undersize their switch risk running out of ports as the network grows even modestly. The CBS350-24P-4G occupies a genuinely practical middle ground for smaller deployments, providing real PoE+ capability and managed switching sophistication without the premium of a larger switch’s unused headroom.
4 Gigabit SFP Uplink Ports for Network Expansion
Beyond the 24 access ports, the switch includes 4 additional Gigabit SFP uplink ports, providing fiber connectivity options for linking to core network infrastructure or extending connectivity to other parts of a facility. This uplink flexibility supports growing network topologies without forcing a switch replacement as infrastructure needs evolve.
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Features for Genuine Network Control
The CBS350-24P-4G supports VLAN configuration, quality of service (QoS) prioritization, and static routing, giving IT administrators genuine control over network traffic segmentation and prioritization even at this smaller port count. Advanced security features including 802.1X authentication, DHCP snooping, and dynamic ARP inspection protect the network against unauthorized access and common network-based threats.
Cisco Business Dashboard for Simplified Management
Like the rest of the CBS350 line, this switch integrates with the Cisco Business Dashboard and mobile app, giving IT administrators an intuitive, web-based interface for configuration, monitoring, and lifecycle management without requiring extensive command-line networking expertise. This makes professional-grade network management genuinely accessible for smaller businesses without dedicated, specialist IT staff.
Compact, Rack-Mountable Design
The CBS350-24P-4G’s compact form factor fits standard network racks and communication cabinets without demanding disproportionate space, a genuine consideration for smaller offices and branch locations where dedicated networking room may be limited.
Backed by Cisco’s Trusted Reputation and Lifetime Limited Warranty
As part of Cisco’s Business 350 Series, the CBS350-24P-4G carries a lifetime limited warranty, reflecting the same manufacturer confidence found across Cisco’s broader networking portfolio, scaled and priced appropriately for smaller business deployments that still demand genuine reliability.
The Practical Case for the 24-Port Configuration
For a small branch office, a single-floor retail location, or a growing business with a modest but genuine PoE device count, the CBS350-24P-4G delivers exactly the right capacity without the cost of unused ports on a larger switch. This right-sizing matters directly for smaller businesses working within defined IT budgets, where every capital expenditure needs to translate into genuine, usable capability.
