Cisco SG250-26HP 26-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Managed Switch 100W 2x SFP | Wty

Cisco SG250-26HP — 24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Managed Switch, 100W

The Cisco SG250-26HP is a 26-port Gigabit smart managed switch with full PoE+ across all 24 data ports and a 100W total PoE budget. Two combo SFP/RJ45 uplink ports provide flexible backbone connectivity. Web GUI management covers VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping, and port mirroring — the right balance of features and simplicity for small business wiring closets. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

• 24 GbE PoE+ ports: Full Gigabit speed on all 24 data ports with 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30W per port) for access points, IP phones, and cameras.
• 100W total PoE budget: Powers 6–7 typical dual-band APs (15–18W each) or a mix of phones and cameras simultaneously without throttling.
• 2× combo SFP/RJ45 uplinks: Uplink via fibre SFP or copper RJ45 to a core switch — flexibility for both new and existing cabling infrastructure.
• Smart managed web GUI: 802.1Q VLAN segmentation, 802.1p QoS traffic prioritisation, IGMP snooping, and port mirroring via an accessible web interface.
• Gigabit to every device: Future-proof edge connectivity — Gigabit to every workstation and wireless AP at the price point of a smart switch.
• 1U rack-mount: 19-inch rackmount chassis with included mounting brackets fits standard comms rooms and network cabinets.

Performance in Use

The SG250-26HP suits small offices needing Gigabit PoE on a smart-managed platform without the cost and complexity of full enterprise switches. A typical deployment powers 4–6 wireless access points across the office (using 15–20W PoE each) while the remaining ports serve workstations, IP phones, and servers — all at Gigabit speed with VLANs separating guest, staff, and management traffic.

The SG250 series is positioned as “smart managed” rather than fully managed — it lacks advanced CLI capabilities found in the SG300/SG350 series but covers the VLAN, QoS, and basic security features that most SMB networks require. If you need RADIUS authentication, TACACS+, or advanced ACLs, the SG350 or SG300 series would be more appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many devices can I power simultaneously?

With 100W total PoE budget, you can power approximately 5–6 dual-band access points (15–18W each), or a larger number of lower-draw devices like VoIP phones (typically 3–7W each). The switch distributes power dynamically based on device negotiation.

Does it support 802.3af (standard PoE) as well as 802.3at (PoE+)?

Yes — ports auto-detect device requirements and are backward compatible with 802.3af PoE (15.4W) devices.

Does it have a full CLI?

The SG250 series is “smart managed” and includes a simplified CLI (CLS). It does not have the full Cisco IOS-equivalent CLI of the SG300/SG350 series. Web GUI management is the primary interface.

Do SFP modules come included?

No — SFP modules are not included and must be purchased separately. Standard 1G SFP transceivers are compatible.

What shipping costs apply?
