Cisco Business 250 Series 28-Port Smart Rack-Mount Switch

The Cisco CBS250-24FP-4G-NA is a smart rack-mount switch built for small and growing businesses that need dependable network performance without complex setup. It combines twenty-four gigabit ports that support Power over Ethernet Plus with four dedicated Gigabit SFP uplink slots, so you can keep workstations, access points, phones, and surveillance cameras running smoothly while linking back to servers or core switches through fiber.

With a PoE power budget of 370 watts, the switch can power dozens of PoE-enabled devices directly over the network cable, removing the need for separate power adapters and reducing cable clutter in offices, retail floors, and remote work areas. Each of the twenty-four ports automatically senses the power level required by the connected device, which helps protect both the switch and your equipment.

Layer 3 functionality gives the network room to expand by handling basic routing tasks internally. This added flexibility can shorten data paths, improve performance, and simplify the way traffic moves between different segments of your network.

The switch fits neatly into a standard rack, allowing a tidy installation in network closets or server rooms where space counts. Because it is part of the Cisco Business family, it comes with a familiar interface that makes it easy for IT staff and tech-savvy business owners to set up VLANs, apply security policies, and monitor traffic as the organization evolves.
