asked on

cisco SG200-26P (SLM2024PT) question about noise

I'm considering purchasing the SG200-26P switch, as I have about 11 or 12 devices, some use POE.
The problem is, I'm looking for a fanless switch, or something that is very quiet.  I'm currently running a 3750G POE 24P, and it's to loud in my office.

Can the SG200-26P be managed by the CLI as well, as I know it has a GUI, but it would be nice to use the CLI as well?
Is the switch fanless?

Hi afacts,

Please take a look at the following link - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-2960-c-series-switches/data_sheet_c78-639705.html. I will suggest getting the Cisco 3560C-12PC-S fanless switch if gigabit is not required. The 3560C has 12 POE ports plus two uplinks for a total of 14 ports and it is is CLI managed.

I hope that helps and please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

it has to be gigabit

the 3560C is over $700, the SG series is around $300, so if the SG is fanless, then that's the winner, as it's gigabit as well.

I just had a chat with cisco, and the sales rep confirmed that the switch uses a fanless design, the SG200-26P switch does.

sorry, that's not true, he didn't know what he's talking about.

The datasheet says it's 40.2 db for the noise

thanks guys for your input.  since I only needed 9 ports, the SG200-10FP will work for now.
