Cisco Business CBS350-16XTS 16-Ports Rackmount Managed Switch

The Cisco CBS350-16XTS-NA is a managed switch built for businesses that are growing and need 10 Gigabit speeds without enterprise-level complexity. It provides sixteen total ports. Eight of them use copper 10GBase-T connections for direct links to servers or workstations. The remaining eight are SFP+ slots that accept fiber modules for uplinks or longer cable runs. This balanced mix lets you adapt the switch to the exact layout of your network.

Full Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities let you create VLANs, route between them, and tune traffic with quality of service rules directly on the device. The hardware includes 512 MB of RAM and 256 MB of flash memory, keeping the control plane responsive as your network expands. With up to 320 Gbps of switching capacity and 238.08 million packets per second of forwarding performance, large file transfers, backups, and video streams stay smooth even when demand peaks.

Power over Ethernet Plus support lets a single cable carry both data and power to wireless access points, VoIP phones, and IP cameras, which simplifies installation and reduces clutter. Security stays tight through 802.1X authentication and centralised policies enforced by RADIUS or TACACS+. IPv6 support keeps the switch prepared for future addressing requirements.

Day to day management is handled through an intuitive web dashboard that presents port status, traffic graphs, and configuration wizards in plain language. A lone administrator can deploy the switch, roll out new VLANs, or update firmware without deep command-line knowledge. When it is time to grow, the rack-mount enclosure slides easily into a standard 19-inch rack in a server room, branch office, or production studio.

From creative teams that push large media files, to professional services firms that rely on voice and video, to small labs that need strict network segmentation, the Cisco CBS350-16XTS-NA provides the throughput, control, and security that keep business running smoothly.
