The Cisco Catalyst 3550-12G is a managed switch specifically designed for small to medium-sized networks. With its 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this switch is ideal for facilitating high-speed data transfer and supporting bandwidth-heavy applications. It is also equipped with 2 additional Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) slots that provide flexibility for fibre optic connections, making it well-suited for both copper and fibre-based environments.
This desktop switch operates as a fully managed device, which means users can configure and monitor network operations with great control and accuracy. Additionally, the Cisco Catalyst 3550-12G supports Layer 3 switching, enabling high-performance routing with reduced broadcast traffic. Its integrated QoS (Quality of Service) features ensure prioritisation of critical traffic, such as voice or video streams, resulting in smooth and uninterrupted communication between devices.
Furthermore, this switch comes equipped with Cisco’s enhanced security features, such as ACLs (Access Control Lists), which help protect your network from unauthorised access. The device's advanced management capabilities also include VLAN support, allowing you to segment network traffic for greater security and efficiency. The device supports an array of protocols to ensure a seamless and robust networking experience, including IGMP snooping, 802.1Q VLAN tagging, and STP (Spanning Tree Protocol).
The physical design of the Cisco Catalyst 3550-12G is compact, making it suitable for desktop deployment in space-constrained environments. It conserves energy with its low power consumption while offering resilient, high-speed network performance. The switch is also fanless, contributing to a quieter workspace, which is essential for office environments.
