Cisco SG300-28P 28-Port Gigabit PoE Managed Switch – Layer 3, Enterprise-Class Performance


Meta Description:

Enhance network performance with the Cisco SG300-28P 28-Port PoE Managed Switch. Offers Gigabit speed, advanced Layer 3 features, and Power over Ethernet for business-critical applications.


Product Description:

The Cisco SG300-28P is a 28-Port Gigabit Managed Switch featuring Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Layer 3 capabilities, making it an ideal solution for growing businesses that demand high performance, reliability, and flexibility in their network infrastructure.

With 26 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 combo Gigabit SFP slots, the SG300-28P provides robust connectivity for wired devices such as IP phones, access points, and IP surveillance cameras. Each of the 26 RJ-45 ports supports IEEE 802.3af PoE, delivering up to 15.4W per port with a total power budget of 180W, eliminating the need for separate power supplies.

As part of the Cisco 300 Series, this switch offers advanced security, traffic management, quality of service (QoS), and Layer 3 static routing — ensuring secure and efficient data delivery across complex networks. The intuitive web-based interface simplifies setup and monitoring, while support for SNMP and CLI enables more advanced administration when needed.


Key Features:

  • 28 total ports: 26 x 10/100/1000 + 2 x combo SFP

  • IEEE 802.3af PoE support with 180W power budget

  • Managed switch with Layer 2 and Layer 3 static routing

  • Web-based GUI, CLI, and SNMP support

  • VLANs, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and QoS for traffic prioritization

  • Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE)

  • IPv4 and IPv6 support

  • Fanless or low-noise operation depending on temperature

  • Built-in security features including 802.1X and DHCP snooping
