Managed PoE Switch 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet + 2 Port SFP

Compact, Enterprise-Grade Network Switching:

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-16P-2G Managed PoE Switch is a powerful, enterprise-class Layer 3 switch designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, branch offices, retail stores, classrooms, and open-plan offices. With its compact, fanless, and rack-mountable design, this switch can be deployed both inside and outside the wiring closet without disrupting the environment. Built on Cisco’s proven Catalyst platform, it delivers reliability, scalability, and advanced management features at an affordable cost.

Powerful PoE+ Connectivity for Modern Devices:

Equipped with 16 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, the C1300-16P-2G provides up to 30W per port and a total PoE power budget of 120W, making it ideal for powering IP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras, and IoT devices. The switch also includes 2 Gigabit SFP uplink ports, enabling flexible fiber connectivity for network expansion and high-speed uplinks to core switches or routers.

Optimized Performance and Switching Capacity:

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-16P-2G delivers consistent and efficient performance with a switching capacity of 36 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 26.78 million packets per second (mpps) using 64-byte packets. Backed by an ARM dual-core 1.5 GHz CPU, 1 GB DDR4 memory, and a 1.5 MB packet buffer, the switch ensures smooth traffic handling for data, voice, and video applications in demanding business environments.

Advanced Traffic Monitoring and Security Visibility:

This managed switch supports advanced traffic analysis tools such as port mirroring, VLAN mirroring, flow-based redirection, RSPAN, and sFlow, providing deep visibility into network traffic down to the flow level. These features simplify troubleshooting, enhance network monitoring, and help IT teams maintain optimal performance and security across the network.

Energy-Efficient, Silent, and Reliable Operation:

Designed with sustainability in mind, the Catalyst C1300-16P-2G integrates Cisco’s industry-leading energy-efficient technologies. It consumes as little as 8.4W (idle at 110V) and operates silently thanks to its fanless design, while maintaining a high MTBF of 412,959 hours at 25°C. This makes it a dependable and eco-friendly networking solution for long-term deployment.
