Support and hardware replacement iA support contract (Cisco Smart Net) gives you Cisco TAC around the clock, software updates and a replacement part if the hardware fails – the level decides how fast the part arrives. The contract can run for 1, 3 or 5 years – choose the term in the quote basket. Without one, the manufacturer's standard warranty applies. Read the guide: How Cisco licensing works →1 option
Power supply iA second power supply gives redundancy and can raise the switch's total PoE budget. Larger power supplies are needed if many ports must deliver high PoE. Read the guide: PoE – is there enough power? →3 options
Rack mount iBrackets and rails for ceiling, wall or rack. A standard bracket is often included – choose here if you need a different mounting. Read the guide: Which access point? Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 →2 options
Transceivers 40G QSFP+ iEvery fibre port needs a transceiver. SR = multimode fibre within the building, LR = single-mode up to 10 km, T = copper (RJ45). Between switches in the same rack a DAC cable (CU) is cheapest. Read the guide: Transceivers and cables – what fits? →39 options
