Cisco Compact 24-Port Gigabit Switch with 2 Mini Gbic Ports, SG95-24-AS

The Cisco SG95-24-AS 24-Port Gigabit Switch is part of the Cisco Small Business 95 Series, designed to deliver dependable wired networking with minimal setup effort. It features 24 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing seamless connection of PCs, printers, IP phones, and other network devices.

In addition to copper ports, the switch includes 2 × mini-GBIC (SFP) uplink slots, enabling fiber connectivity for uplink to core switches or network backbones. This makes it suitable for environments that require both copper access and fiber expansion flexibility.

The switch operates in a plug-and-play mode, meaning no complex configuration is required. It automatically handles auto-negotiation, auto MDI/MDIX, and basic traffic handling, making deployment quick and simple even for non-technical users.

It supports Layer 2 switching functionality, including VLAN support, QoS traffic prioritization, loop detection, and basic network optimization features. These help improve traffic flow for voice and video applications while maintaining stable network performance.

With a 48 Gbps switching capacity and forwarding performance of ~35.7 Mpps, the SG95-24-AS delivers efficient non-blocking throughput for small to medium LAN environments.

The device also includes energy-efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), which reduces power consumption during low network activity, helping lower operational costs.
