Cisco SF302-08PP 8-port 10 100 PoE Managed Switch

The Cisco SF302-08PP is a high-performance 8-port managed switch designed specifically for small businesses requiring advanced networking features combined with full Power over Ethernet capabilities. This compact yet powerful switch delivers enterprise-class functionality at an affordable price point, making it ideal for deployments requiring both data connectivity and powered device support.

Complete PoE+ Support

Every port on the SF302-08PP supports both PoE (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at) standards, delivering up to 30W per port with a total power budget of 62W across all ports. This allows you to power and connect IP phones, wireless access points, IP surveillance cameras, and other network devices without requiring separate power supplies. The intelligent power management automatically detects and supplies the correct amount of power to each connected device, protecting your equipment while optimizing power distribution.

Versatile Port Configuration

The switch features 8 Fast Ethernet 10/100 Mbps ports for connecting end devices, plus 2 Gigabit combo ports that accept either RJ45 copper connections or SFP fiber transceivers for flexible uplink options. This configuration is perfect for small networks that need high-speed backbone connectivity while maintaining PoE support for edge devices. The combo ports enable fiber uplinks to distribution switches or between buildings without sacrificing copper connectivity options.

Advanced Layer 2 Management

Built on Cisco’s proven switching technology, the SF302-08PP offers comprehensive Layer 2 management features typically found in much more expensive switches. Create up to 256 VLANs (802.1Q) to segment traffic for improved security and performance. Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes voice, video, and critical data traffic to ensure optimal application performance. Link aggregation (LACP) allows you to combine multiple ports for increased bandwidth and redundancy.

Enterprise Security Features

Protect your network with robust security capabilities including 802.1X port-based authentication, DHCP snooping to prevent rogue DHCP servers, IP-MAC-Port binding, and Access Control Lists (ACLs) for granular traffic control. SSH and SSL/HTTPS encrypted management ensure secure remote administration. Storm control prevents broadcast storms from degrading network performance, while port security limits MAC addresses per port to prevent unauthorized access.

Flexible Management Options

Choose your preferred management method: intuitive web-based GUI for point-and-click configuration, command-line interface (CLI) for advanced scripting and automation, or SNMP for integration with network management systems. The switch supports SNMPv1/v2c/v3, enabling centralized monitoring and configuration through tools like Cisco FindIT Network Manager. Bonjour discovery makes the switch instantly visible on Mac and iOS networks.

Optimized for VoIP and Multimedia

Advanced features like IGMP snooping (v1/v2/v3) optimize multicast traffic for IPTV and video conferencing applications by intelligently forwarding multicast streams only to ports that need them. Auto VoIP automatically detects and prioritizes IP phone traffic, ensuring crystal-clear voice quality even during network congestion. Multiple spanning tree protocols (STP/RSTP/MSTP) prevent network loops while maintaining redundant paths.

Silent and Reliable Operation

The fanless design ensures completely silent operation, making the SF302-08PP perfect for deployment in office environments, retail spaces, classrooms, or anywhere noise would be disruptive. The compact 1U form factor can be rack-mounted or placed on a desktop, while the durable metal housing ensures reliable performance in typical commercial environments operating from 0°C to 45°C.

Energy Efficient

Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) automatically reduces power consumption during periods of low activity without affecting network performance. Combined with the fanless design, this makes the SF302-08PP an environmentally responsible choice that reduces both energy costs and heat generation.

Ideal Applications

Perfect for small offices powering VoIP phone systems, retail stores with wireless access points and IP cameras, schools connecting classroom technology, hotels providing guest Wi-Fi and security cameras, healthcare facilities with nurse call systems, and any small business network requiring PoE-powered devices with enterprise-grade management and security.

Backed by Cisco’s limited lifetime warranty and renowned support infrastructure, the SF302-08PP delivers enterprise-class features and reliability in a small business package.
