Popular models include the WS-C2960X, WS-C3750X, and WS-C3560E, with options ranging from 24 to 48 ports, including both PoE and non-PoE, as well as stackable configurations.
Cisco Nexus Switches
Designed for data centers and high-density environments, Cisco Nexus switches like the N77-C7706 and NXA-PAC-500W deliver ultra-low latency, high port density, and virtualization support—essential for modern workloads and AI-ready infrastructure.
Cisco Meraki Cloud-Managed Switches
Cisco Meraki switches simplify network management. Alta carries refurbished Meraki models that help organizations maintain tight cost control while still providing effective support.
Cisco IE & ME Ethernet Switches
Need rugged industrial networking gear? Our Cisco IE (Industrial Ethernet) and Cisco ME (Metro Ethernet) switches, such as the ME-3600X, are ideal for harsh environments and metro deployments.
Cisco Small Business & Storage Switches
For SMBs and storage-specific applications, Alta offers switches like the SF220-48P and SG110-24HP, designed for easy deployment, solid performance, and budget-conscious operations.
Find the Perfect Used Cisco Switch for Your Setup
Selecting the right used Cisco switch depends on your operational goals, technical requirements, and future scalability. Here’s what to consider:
Managed vs. Unmanaged Switches
Managed switches offer VLANs, QoS, SNMP monitoring, and security policies, making them ideal for enterprise-grade networking. Unmanaged switches are suitable for plug-and-play, basic environments such as small offices or labs.
Port Speeds & Capacity
From Fast Ethernet (10/100) to Gigabit (1 Gbps) and 10G/40G uplinks, we stock a range of port configurations to meet any throughput requirement. Higher port density equals better scalability and aggregation efficiency.
PoE vs. Non-PoE Switches
If you're powering IP cameras, phones, or wireless access points (APs), consider PoE switches to consolidate data and power delivery. Non-PoE switches are optimal for data-only environments.
Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 Switches
Layer 2 switches focus on MAC-based switching within a single broadcast domain, whereas Layer 3 switches support routing between VLANs, which is essential for complex networks that require segmentation and traffic isolation.
Scalability & Future-Proofing
Select modular or stackable options, such as the Cisco Catalyst 3750X or Nexus 7000, for long-term investment protection and network growth.
