Notes
Cisco-class switches that make advanced network
services and IP Communications easy to manage
for businesses from 20 to 250 employees.
This series of Layer 2 managed Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet switches
offers nonblocking, wire-speed performance that provides a secure network
foundation optimized for data, wireless, and voice. Built-in advanced
security features help ensure that all devices on the network are protected.
An intuitive GUI simplifies setting up, running, and troubleshooting a network.
With Cisco Smartports technology, mission-critical traffic is prioritized, voice
conversations are clear, bandwidth-intensive video traffic does not impact other
applications on the network, and your wireless network is secure. Integrated
intelligence helps detect device and network problems before they impact
your business.
The Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Series switches also offer Power over Ethernet
(PoE), reducing the cost and complexity of IP Communications and wireless
LAN deployments by supplying power and Ethernet connectivity over the same
Category 5 cables. This eliminates the need to provide separate power outlets
and cables for wireless access points, closed-circuit TV cameras, and IP phones.
