DESIGNED FOR THE END-USER ENVIRONMENT
The Cisco Catalyst 2940 switches are designed to be used beyond the wiring closet in the end-user environment. The following features
make the switches ideal for classrooms, conference rooms, or very small workgroup environments:
Small form factor: Only 10.6 in. long and 6.4 in. deep, this switch fits unobtrusively into tight areas or small cabinets. By using
●
a right-angle power cord, the space required is even further reduced (see Figure 5 for size comparison to an electrical outlet).
Durability: An all-metal shell ensures that this switch will not get damaged from incidental blows from furniture or other
●
hardware, as well as mitigates the impact of vandals.
Silent operation: By employing passive cooling instead of a fan or blower, this switch is completely silent and does not disrupt
●
quite workspaces.
Flexible mounting capabilities: The switches can be mounted on a wall, on top of or under a desk or table, or on other surfaces
●
using the mounting slots and the supplied screws (see Figure 2). In addition, for easy deployment on metal surfaces not suited for
screws, a magnet is included as an additional mounting option. An internal power supply further enhances mounting flexibility
because the power cord is not burdened with a large, heavy power brick.
Physical Security: A security lock slot located on each side of the switch can be used with a standard cable lock to prevent theft
●
(see Figure 3). In addition, the Cisco Catalyst 2940 Series Cable Guard is available to provide extra security against theft as well
as protect the Ethernet cables from tampering or removal (see Figures 4 and 5).
