Product Features

8 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Ports

The switch includes eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports with PoE+ support, enabling both data and power delivery to connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras through a single Ethernet cable.

Dual Combo Uplink Ports

Two Gigabit combo uplink ports provide flexibility to connect using either copper Ethernet or fiber SFP modules, allowing seamless integration into existing network infrastructures and improved uplink redundancy.

Layer 3 Routing Support

The C1300-8P-E-2G supports Layer 3 static routing and policy-based routing, enabling efficient inter-VLAN communication and improved traffic control for segmented business networks.

Fanless and Compact Design

A fanless cooling system ensures silent operation, making the switch ideal for noise-sensitive environments such as offices, retail floors, and classrooms. Its compact form factor supports both desktop and rack-mount installation.

Advanced Network Security

Enterprise-grade security features include 802.1X authentication, Access Control Lists, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP inspection, IP Source Guard, and IPv6 First Hop Security to protect against unauthorized access and network threats.

Fully Managed Operation

The switch offers flexible management through an intuitive web-based interface, command-line interface, SNMP, SSH, HTTPS, Cisco Business Dashboard, and Cisco Business mobile app, allowing both simplified setup and advanced configuration.

Energy-Efficient Operation

Compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet, the switch reduces power consumption through intelligent power management and automatic power shutoff on inactive ports.

High Reliability and Resiliency

Support for dual firmware images, Link Aggregation Control Protocol, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, and Unidirectional Link Detection enhances uptime and simplifies maintenance and upgrades.
