Cisco Catalyst Micro Switch CMICR-4PC
Part Number: CMICR-4PC
Product overview
Fiber to the desk, office, etc. (FTTx) is not a new concept. In this deployment scenario, the improved range of fiber optics over copper cables allows access switches to be deployed right next to the end devices, with uplinks connected directly to the main distribution frame, eliminating the need for an intermediate distribution frame on each floor. However, as access switches get closer to the end users, the requirements for operating noise and product footprint get stricter. Enter the Cisco Catalyst Micro Switches, a product family of small, fanless switches purpose-built for FTTx deployments. These switches offer flexible mounting options and open up a variety of network design and connectivity opportunities.
The Cisco Catalyst Micro Switches are available in three models. Two of the models take power from a recommended AC/DC adapter and guarantee two PoE+ or four PoE ports. The third model can take power from the AC/DC adapter and uplink PD port and load four PoE+ ports along with two USB-C ports.
