The Cisco Catalyst Micro Switches are a new product family purpose-built for fiber-to-the-desk (FTTx) deployments. These small, fanless switches offer flexible mounting options and help eliminate the need for intermediate distribution frames on each floor.

The Catalyst Micro switches provide 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 Gigabit uplink ports (fiber or copper) in a compact and silent fanless design. With support for Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) up to 60W or 120W, enhanced limited lifetime warranty, and flexible mounting options, these switches are optimized for deployment in open workspaces and space-constrained areas. The LAN Lite Cisco IOS Software provides essential Layer 2 capabilities out of the box.
