Cisco Catalyst 9000 Compact Switch 8-Port UPOE 4x mGig 240W | Enterprise — CON-L14OS-WSC296XL

Support dense edge deployments with a Catalyst 9000 compact switch designed for access-layer performance and power delivery. Its 8-port design, 4x mGig capability, and 240 W UPOE budget make it a strong fit for environments where wired connectivity must also power advanced endpoints such as wireless access points, phones, and other networked devices. The compact form factor helps preserve rack and closet space without forcing a compromise on capability. This class of switch is typically chosen when standard access switches no longer provide enough power headroom or uplink flexibility. Multigigabit support helps accommodate higher-speed edge devices, while UPOE extends the range of devices that can be deployed without separate power infrastructure. For IT teams, the result is cleaner cabling, fewer external power dependencies, and a more controlled access-layer design. For procurement, it is a better long-term fit than lower-power alternatives because it reduces the need to replace switching hardware as endpoint requirements grow. Ideal For Powering wireless access points in branch or campus closets Connecting multigigabit endpoints at the network edge Supporting VoIP phones and powered devices with UPOE Refreshing access-layer switching in space-constrained deployments Why This Product 1 Higher power budget than standard PoE access switches 2 4x mGig support for faster edge connectivity 3 Compact design suits space-limited wiring closets 4 Better fit for powered endpoints than low-power alternatives
