The Cisco Catalyst Micro Switch Series represents a compact, purpose-built networking solution designed to bring enterprise-class Gigabit Ethernet connectivity directly to the workspace. By extending the reach of traditional network closets, these ultra-small switches allow organizations to simplify structured cabling, reduce deployment costs, and support modern smart building initiatives. They are specifically crafted for space-constrained environments where traditional switches are impractical, such as conference rooms, open-plan offices, healthcare facilities, and hospitality venues.

By delivering connectivity directly to the endpoint—often referred to as Fiber-to-the-Desk (FTTD) or localized switching—the series bridges the gap between infrastructure power and high-bandwidth requirements. This approach minimizes the need for extensive horizontal copper cabling runs and enables seamless integration into modern architectural layouts without compromising on performance, centralized enterprise management, or security.

Product overview

The series consists of four distinct models tailored for different deployment scenarios, split into desktop and wall-mount (snap-in) form factors. All models operate silently due to their fanless architecture, making them ideal for noise-sensitive end-user environments.

The desktop form factor models are designed for placement directly on or under work surfaces. The Cisco Catalyst Micro Switch CM-5G-4P60W features 5 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports with 4 ports supporting up to 60W PoE++ power output via an external AC power adapter. The Cisco Catalyst Micro Switch CM-5G-4P60W-SFP offers a similar desktop footprint with 4 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports and 1 SFP uplink port, delivering up to 60W PoE++ across its copper ports to efficiently power high-draw downstream devices.

The wall-mount models are engineered to fit into standard cable ducts and mosaic wall outlets, offering a clean and hidden installation. The Cisco Catalyst Micro Switch CM-4P-2S-A includes 4 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports, 2 SFP fiber uplinks, and an integrated internal AC power supply. The Cisco Catalyst Micro Switch CM-4P-2S-M provides 4 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports and 2 SFP uplinks, operating via Power over Ethernet (PoE-in) passthrough or auxiliary power, eliminating the need for localized AC outlets in specific wiring setups.

Features and benefits

* Ultra-Compact and Fanless Design: Delivers completely silent operation and a small footprint suitable for mounting on walls, inside cable ducts, under desks, or within mosaic wall outlets.

* High-Power PoE Capability: Supports up to 60W PoE++ (UPoE) per port, allowing users to power high-demand endpoints such as Wi-Fi access points, PTZ cameras, smart lighting, and IP phones without separate power injectors.

* Flexible Uplink Options: Includes copper and SFP fiber uplinks that enable long-distance network connections straight to the desk (FTTD) while reducing cable congestion in central closets.

* Enterprise Security: Incorporates robust security features including 802.1X authentication, MACsec, and port security to protect network entry points at the physical edge.

* Centralized Management: Integrates seamlessly with Cisco DNA Center and Cisco IOS XE software, enabling automated provisioning, monitoring, and consistent policy enforcement across the entire network.

The Cisco Catalyst Micro Switches are Cisco’s purpose-built product family for FTTx deployments, allowing customers to eliminate IDF, save precious real estate, conserve energy, and cut cabling costs.

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.

Perpetual PoE ensures uninterrupted powering of endpoints during switch upgrades, reboots, and configuration changes. Fast PoE ensures powering of PoE endpoints within 5 seconds of power restoration, in case of power losses.

System life

These switches come with the industry’s highest level of reliability and 10 years of system life.

Prevalidated architecture

Cisco supports tested, validated, and integrated solutions, which can reduce deployment risk and speed up the time to value. Proven robust technology, with existing network and end-to-end security, provide a complete digital building solution.

Installation simplicity

Flexible mounting options

Supports flexible deployment and mounting options, including wall mount, C-rail duct mount, desktop, and bottom mount, based on the SKU.

Flexible powering options

The switch can be powered through an AC/DC adapter with IEC plugs for 100-240VAC inputs.

The desktop version has an uplink Powered Device (PD) port that, when connected with an external power supply, will power up the unit.

Single Pane of Management – Management/Automation Options

Configuration at scale

The switches are Cisco DNA ready and can be used as part of the Cisco Digital network Architecture (Cisco DNAC) solution for automated switch deployments.

Automation via Cisco PnP

They also support Cisco Network Plug and Play (PnP), a secure, scalable solution that accelerates network device deployments by automating the installation and configuration of Cisco IOS Software, enhancing productivity and user experience and reducing costs and downtime.

Network management

Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides comprehensive network lifecycle management with an extensive library of features that automate initial and day-to-day management. Cisco Prime integrates hardware and software platform expertise and operational experience into a powerful set of workflow-driven configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, reporting, and administrative tools.
