Cisco Switching
Overview
Cisco switching is the backbone of most estates we quote. We supply Catalyst access and aggregation switches with the right PoE budget, uplink type and licence tier for the site — and we size them on what you actually plug in, not on a headline port count.

The Catalyst line splits cleanly by what the switch has to do — plug in users and access points, aggregate floors, or carry the core. Tell us the port count, PoE devices and uplink type and we will name the model.
| Deployment | Typical site | Ports and power | Uplinks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catalyst 1000 | Branch office, retail unit, single comms cabinet | 8–48 ports, PoE+ options up to 740W | Fixed 1G / 10G SFP |
| Catalyst 9200 | Floor access switching, schools, mid-sized offices | 24–48 ports, PoE+ with stacking | Modular 1G / 10G uplinks |
| Catalyst 9300 | Head office access and aggregation, high AP density | 24–48 ports, PoE+ / UPOE, StackWise-480 | 10G / 25G / 40G modular |
Most switch quotes go wrong on power and optics. We work out the real PoE draw of your access points, cameras and phones, add the stacking cables and the transceivers, and quote the whole cabinet so nothing is missing on install day.
We can pre-stage VLANs, trunking, voice VLANs, port profiles and management access so the switch arrives ready to rack. Existing configurations are migrated and documented, and we keep spares on the same firmware train.
FAQs
Usually a 48-port Catalyst 9200 or 9300 with PoE+. The deciding factor is the power your access points and cameras draw together, plus whether you need 10G uplinks back to the core. Send us the device list and we will size it.
Yes. Everything is sourced through authorised supply channels, arrives with the serial registered, and carries the Cisco warranty. SmartNet support can be quoted alongside.
