Cisco WS-C3750X-24S-E – 24-Port SFP Stackable Switch

Equipment Overview

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3750X-24S-E is a stackable enterprise Ethernet switch designed for high-density fiber aggregation in LAN core and distribution layers. It provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports for optical uplinks, making it suitable for connecting access switches or server racks in medium-to-large networks. This model runs the IP Services feature set, enabling advanced routing and security functionality. The switch is part of the Catalyst 3750-X series, which emphasizes resilient stacking and operational efficiency.

Main Parameters

• Ports: 24 x Gigabit Ethernet SFP (fiber)
• Feature Set: IP Services (advanced routing, ACLs, QoS)
• Model: WS-C3750X-24S-E
• Product Series: Cisco Catalyst 3750-X
• Form Factor: 1RU rack-mountable stackable switch
• Stacking: Supported via Cisco StackWise Plus (not specified in source, but inherent to series)

Key Advantages

This model is selected for enterprise projects requiring pure fiber connectivity at the access or distribution tier, eliminating copper transceiver costs. The IP Services license provides full dynamic routing protocols (e.g., OSPF, EIGRP) and advanced security features, which are critical for segmented multi-tenant environments. Its stackable architecture simplifies management and scales capacity without replacing the chassis, reducing operational overhead.

Compatibility & Integration

The WS-C3750X-24S-E integrates with other Catalyst 3750-X models in a mixed stack, supporting unified configuration via Cisco IOS. It is compatible with standard SFP transceivers (1000BASE-SX/LX/ZX) and adheres to IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards. The switch operates within Cisco’s LAN infrastructure ecosystem, interoperating with routers, firewalls, and wireless controllers through standard protocols.
