Build a Reliable, Easy-to-Use Basic Business Network at an Affordable Price
In today's hyper connected world, reliable access to network resources is critical to all businesses. However, you also need to invest wisely to stay competitive, knowing how to separate the essential from the extraneous and get the most value for your money. For investment in network infrastructure, building a solid foundation for your business is essential, but it doesn’t mean you need the most advanced feature set on the market.

Features and Capabilities
Powerful capabilities
In addition to basic management, security, and quality of service (QoS), these switches also support capabilities such as Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP) and Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+):
The Cisco SF250-24P switch simplifies the deployment of IP telephony, wireless, video surveillance, and other solutions by allowing you to send data and power to network endpoints over the single network cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies or outlets. PoE+ provides up to 30W of power per port, enabling deployments for 802.11ac wireless access points, Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) IP cameras, videophones, and thin client devices, delivering more flexibility and investment protection.
Easy setup and management
Cisco's intuitive, browser-based user interface is now even more user-friendly, with simple mode and a configuration wizard for common configurations. The switches also come with a USB port for easier file management.
Performance and reliability
The 250 Series is designed and tested to deliver the high performance and reliability you would expect from Cisco switches, so you can enjoy speedy file transfers and keep vital business applications available.
