About Catalyst Switches

The Cisco Catalyst series is the world's most deployed enterprise switch platform — trusted by large enterprises, universities, hospitals, and government agencies. From the access layer to the core, Catalyst switches deliver security, programmability, and reliability that no competitor matches.

We carry the full Catalyst lineup — from cost-effective 9200 access switches to high-performance 9500 core/aggregation switches, plus legacy 3850 and 2960 models at 50-70% off list price.

Catalyst Series Comparison

  • Catalyst 9200 — Entry-level access, 24/48-port, PoE+, Layer 2/3, for branch offices
  • Catalyst 9300 — Mid-range access, stackable, UADP 2.0, SD-Access ready, most popular
  • Catalyst 9500 — Core/aggregation, 40G/100G uplinks, high-density fixed platform
  • Catalyst 3850 — Previous-gen access (replaced by 9300), great refurbished value

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Catalyst 9200 and 9300?

The 9300 has more advanced features: stackable up to 8 switches (9200 stacks up to 4), higher throughput ASIC (UADP 2.0 vs Mini), more flexible uplink options (modular vs fixed), and full SD-Access support. Choose 9200 for simple access with budget constraints; 9300 for campus networks needing scalability and programmability.

Should I buy new or refurbished Cisco switches?

Refurbished Catalyst switches are 50-70% cheaper than new and functionally identical. Cisco switches are designed for 10+ years of operation. A 3-year-old refurbished 9300 has years of life remaining. Buy new for: latest features (WiFi 6E integration), full Cisco TAC support, or compliance requirements mandating new equipment.

What does PoE+ mean on a switch?

PoE+ (Power over Ethernet, IEEE 802.3at) delivers up to 30W of power per port through the Ethernet cable — powering IP phones, WiFi access points, and security cameras without separate power supplies. PoE++ (UPoE, 802.3bt) delivers up to 60-90W for devices like PTZ cameras and video phones.
