Cisco Catalyst 1000 16-Port GE PoE Switch, 2x1G SFP | Enterprise Access — CON-L1NBD-WSC9296L

Keep access-layer services stable where uptime matters most. Cisco Catalyst 1000 16-port GE PoE with external power and 2x1G SFP uplinks is designed for small and midsize enterprise edge deployments that need consistent wired connectivity without unnecessary complexity. It supports PoE endpoints such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance devices while giving you fiber-ready uplink options for upstream aggregation. This model fits environments that need a compact switch with practical resilience and straightforward deployment. The 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports provide room for user devices and powered endpoints, while the dual SFP uplinks help separate access traffic from the core path. For IT teams standardizing branch closets, retail back rooms, or distributed offices, the value is in predictable access performance and a form factor that supports long-term network planning. Choose this switch when you need more than basic port count. The combination of PoE, external power, and SFP uplinks supports cleaner edge designs and reduces the need for separate power injectors or ad hoc uplink workarounds. It is a sensible fit for organizations that want dependable access infrastructure with Cisco alignment at the edge.
