The Cisco Catalyst Express 520-8PC-K9 is a compact switch designed for small and medium-sized businesses, offering a total of 8 ports for both data and power connectivity. This model is part of the Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Series, which focuses on providing businesses with easier management and reliable performance. As a managed switch, it allows for increased control over the network, ensuring data is managed and prioritised according to the specific needs of the organisation.
Each of the 8 ports supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), making the Cisco Catalyst Express 520-8PC-K9 ideal for use in environments where devices such as IP phones, security cameras, or wireless access points need power delivered directly through the network cable. It can deliver up to 15.4 watts per port, which is sufficient for most low and medium power PoE devices.
The switch is designed for desktop deployment, ensuring that it fits easily into office or small server environments without requiring sophisticated rack mounting. In terms of performance, it supports essential features such as VLAN management, port security, and easy integration into broader networks, including Cisco network solutions. The switch has been manufactured with a focus on ease of use and simple setup, making it suitable for non-technical users while still offering enough configuration options for small managed network environments.
The Cisco Catalyst Express 520-8PC-K9 also features fanless operation, ensuring that it runs quietly, which is especially beneficial in noise-sensitive environments such as offices or shops. With its combination of reliability, PoE capabilities, and ease of management, this switch is an effective choice for smaller businesses looking to enhance their network infrastructure without overly complex management requirements.
