Cisco Catalyst C1300-16T-2G - Description

Managed Switch 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet + 2 Port SFP

Compact and Reliable Enterprise-Class Switching:

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-16T-2G Managed Switch is a powerful and reliable networking solution designed for small to medium-sized businesses, branch offices, retail environments, and classrooms. Featuring 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 Gigabit SFP uplinks, this switch delivers high-speed connectivity and enterprise-grade performance in a compact, fanless design. Its quiet operation and small footprint allow flexible deployment beyond traditional wiring closets without disrupting the surrounding environment.

High Performance for Modern Networks:

Built to handle growing network demands, the C1300-16T-2G offers a switching capacity of 36 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 26.78 million packets per second (mpps) with 64-byte packets. This ensures smooth data flow, low latency, and reliable performance for bandwidth-intensive applications such as VoIP, cloud services, and video streaming. With an efficient 1.5 MB packet buffer, the switch minimizes congestion and improves traffic handling during peak usage.

Advanced Management and Business Security:

As a fully managed Layer 2 switch, the Cisco Catalyst C1300-16T-2G provides advanced network control, monitoring, and security. IT administrators can configure VLANs, manage traffic prioritization, and enforce security policies to protect critical business data. The inclusion of both a Cisco RJ-45 console port and a USB Type-C console port simplifies setup, troubleshooting, and software image management, even in remote or constrained environments.

Energy-Efficient and Silent Operation:

Designed for efficiency, this switch consumes as little as 4.6W at idle and only 10.9W during normal operation at 110V, reducing operational costs while maintaining high reliability. Its fanless architecture ensures silent operation and improved durability, making it ideal for noise-sensitive areas. With an impressive MTBF of over 912,000 hours, the switch is built for long-term, continuous operation.

Durable Design with Flexible Deployment:

The rack-mountable chassis, internal power supply, and robust build quality reflect Cisco’s enterprise standards. Supporting Category 5e or better cabling, the switch integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructures while providing room for future expansion through its SFP uplinks.
