A fast network switch doesn't have to be complicated. One of the Cisco Small Business Smart Switches, the SLM224G combines the best elements of Cisco's premium managed switches under an intuitive, easy-to-use web interface. Its copper network ports help ensure top transfer rates and greater expansion opportunities.

The switch bundles traffic-shaping capabilities into its assortment of features that prioritize your network's high-bandwidth applications to deliver consistent, quality feeds for voice and video. The SLM224G won't pass data to users prior to authentication, and administrators can configure access levels based on the computer connected to the switch. Should you interconnect multiple switches, the SLM224G's redundancy features can keep the totality of your network alive if a connection fails. 

Connect up to 24 devices - PCs, printers, wireless access points, and servers - to share and transfer files and videos across your network

Security down to the switch port level keeps unauthorized users off the network

Basic QoS helps ensure a consistent network experience and supports networked applications including voice, video, and data storage
