HWIC-4ESW-POE

This Cisco HWIC-4ESW-POE is a hardware interface card that adds a 4-port Ethernet switch with PoE capabilities to compatible Cisco routers. It is commonly used in branch offices or small network setups to expand LAN connectivity directly from the router.

Built for network administrators and IT professionals, it delivers easy deployment of power and data over a single cable, supporting devices like IP phones or wireless access points.

Key Features

• Four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports with PoE support
• Seamless integration into Cisco routers with HWIC slots
• Reduces need for separate network switches and power injectors
• Compact design ideal for limited rack or desktop space
• Supports Cisco IOS software for management and configuration

This module is often found in small to medium-sized offices where space and power efficiency are important. It helps simplify network design by consolidating switching and power delivery in one unit.

Users benefit from streamlined setups, fewer devices to maintain, and reliable connectivity for PoE-enabled network devices directly connected to the router.
