Cisco WS-CE500-24PC enterprise networking (router/Catalyst switch/UCS families) Datacentre Switch

The Cisco WS-CE500-24PC is a Catalyst Express 500-24PC switch, a fixed-configuration 24-port 10/100 Power over Ethernet switch aimed at small and medium business networks. It supplies IEEE 802.3af and Cisco pre-standard inline power across all 24 access ports, with up to 15.4W per port and roughly 370W of total PoE budget, alongside two 10/100/1000Base-T or SFP uplink ports for server or core connectivity. The Catalyst Express 500 line was designed for simplified web-based management rather than full IOS command-line administration, making it a common fit for smaller sites needing PoE for IP phones, wireless access points or CCTV without the complexity of an enterprise-class switch. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies Cisco switching hardware. Confirm your existing Catalyst Express 500 management setup and PoE budget requirements before ordering.
