The Cisco Catalyst family includes the industry’s widest
and most versatile selection of fixed-configuration switches,
making it easy for customers to find the ideal platform for
any deployment. Yet unlike point solutions, these switches
share the feature-rich functionality of Cisco IOS software,
providing a firm foundation for converged data, voice,
and video services.
Cisco Catalyst 4900, 3750, 3560, 2960, 2950, 2940,
and Catalyst Express 500 Series switches offer an array of
connectivity options, from Fast Ethernet to 10GbE. They
range from small, standalone switches to stackable models
that function as a single, scalable switching unit. And many
models are available with a choice of software images,
allowing customers to dictate the level of intelligent network
services based on individual needs.
