The Cisco Small Business SG250-26HP is a 26-port Gigabit smart switch designed for small businesses that need a secure network with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. It provides a total of twenty-four 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, with eight of them supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE+) with a total power budget of 100W. This allows you to power devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, or surveillance cameras directly through the network cable, which simplifies installation and reduces cabling costs. It also includes two Gigabit SFP combo ports for high-speed fiber uplinks to other switches or a server over longer distances. As a smart switch, the SG250-26HP offers a balance between the simplicity of an unmanaged switch and the features of a fully managed one. You can configure and manage it through an intuitive web-based interface. It offers key Layer 2 features such as VLANs for network segmentation and Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize critical network traffic. Security features, including port security and 802.1X authentication, are also included to protect your network. . The switch's combination of high-speed ports, PoE+ support, and smart management features makes it a cost-effective and powerful solution for a growing business network.
