Applications and Use Cases

Business and enterprise networks

Connect workstations, printers, servers and other wired devices while using managed features to organize traffic and support network administration.

IP surveillance systems

Power compatible PoE cameras directly over Ethernet. Check the combined wattage requirements of the cameras to ensure they remain within the 195W budget.

Wireless access point deployments

Provide network connectivity and PoE+ power to compatible wireless access points. This can simplify installations in offices, campuses, hospitality environments and business premises.

Fibre uplinks and network aggregation

The four 10G SFP+ uplinks support high-speed connections to compatible fibre transceivers and network devices. Select transceivers based on fibre type, distance, wavelength and compatibility requirements.

Management and Network Features

The Cisco Business 350 Series provides managed networking capabilities for organizations that need more control than an unmanaged switch offers. Depending on the supported software and configuration, these features can include VLANs, link aggregation, QoS, access control lists, spanning tree and static routing.

These capabilities can help network administrators separate business traffic, improve network organization and connect the switch to a wider network infrastructure. Exact features should be confirmed against Cisco’s documentation for the relevant software version.

Compatibility and Installation

Before ordering, verify that the switch meets your PoE requirements, uplink speeds and port count. Confirm that the SFP+ transceivers and fibre cables match the equipment at the other end of each link.

For use in Kenya, confirm the power input and supplied power cable for the UK regional variant. Check the installation environment, ventilation, rack space and electrical protection requirements before deployment.

Product Lifecycle Notice

Cisco has published an end-of-sale announcement covering selected CBS350 switch variants, including the CBS350-24P-4X-UK. Cisco identifies the Catalyst 1300 24-port PoE switch as a successor option for this model family.

If you are buying this switch for a new project, confirm availability, warranty and support eligibility before ordering. For long-term deployments, compare the currently supported successor model against your port, PoE, uplink and management requirements.
