Access to Core, One Source

Campus access switches (Cisco Catalyst 9200/9300, Aruba CX, Juniper EX) connect users and devices — typically 24 or 48 ports with PoE+ for phones, cameras, and access points. Aggregation and core layers step up to 10/25/40/100G uplinks, where Catalyst 9500, Nexus, and Arista 7000-series platforms dominate. We stock current lines alongside proven prior generations like the Catalyst 2960-X and 3850 that still anchor thousands of networks.

When ordering, match three things: port count and speed at the edge, uplink capacity to the next layer, and PoE budget if powering devices. Unsure? Send us your current switch models and counts and we will spec like-for-like or an upgrade path, including the right optics and stacking hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between L2 and L3 switches?

Layer 2 switches forward traffic within a network segment by MAC address; Layer 3 switches also route between VLANs/subnets, eliminating a separate router hop for inter-VLAN traffic.

How much PoE budget do I need?

Add up the draw of powered devices: phones ~7W, cameras 7-15W, Wi-Fi 6 APs 20-30W. The switch’s total PoE budget must cover all devices simultaneously — we can calculate this from your device list.

Do used switches come with the OS installed?

Yes — units ship factory-reset with the operating system installed. Note that some vendor features and updates may require active licensing, which we can also supply.
