Cisco Catalyst C8300 5-Year SNTC 24x7x4 Support | Enterprise — CON-5SNTP-C8304T2X

Maintain service continuity on Cisco Catalyst C8300 platforms with 5 years of 24x7x4 Smart Net Total Care coverage. This support tier is designed for organizations that depend on fast access to Cisco expertise, replacement workflows, and issue resolution when branch connectivity cannot wait for business hours. For edge and branch environments, the cost of delayed support is often measured in lost connectivity, stalled transactions, and disrupted remote operations. A 24x7x4 service model gives infrastructure teams a clear support path with around-the-clock coverage and a 4-hour response expectation, helping reduce the operational drag that comes with extended outages. This level of support is especially valuable when the router sits at the center of a distributed network footprint. Over a 5-year term, it helps protect the investment in a Catalyst C8300 by aligning support coverage with the lifecycle of the hardware itself. For procurement and operations teams, that means fewer surprises, better planning, and a stronger case for choosing a higher-assurance support tier over lower-cost alternatives.
