Cisco C1113-8P Full Product Description

1. Short Overview

Suffix Breakdown

• C1113: Top-tier hybrid DSL-fiber triple-WAN ISR platform of Cisco 111x sub-series, integrated G.FAST/VDSL2/ADSL2+ modem + combo SFP Ethernet WAN
• 8: Integrated 8-port full Gigabit copper LAN switch
• P: 6 of the 8 LAN ports support PoE / PoE+ power output with total shared 120W PoE power budget

Core Differentiators

1. vs dual-WAN DSL model C1112-8P: C1112-8P only has combo Ethernet + DSL dual WAN; C1113-8P retains the same dual fixed WAN and adds native support for USB LTE dongle third-path cellular backup, expanding multi-path redundancy to three independent uplink media.
2. vs pure Ethernet C1111-8P: C1111-8P lacks built-in DSL modem and copper telephone line broadband capability; C1113-8P integrates full G.FAST/VDSL2/ADSL2+ DSL chipset for legacy telco copper access networks.
3. vs Wi-Fi variant C1113-8PW: Wireless variants integrate internal 802.11ac Wave2 WLAN AP hardware; base C1113-8P is wired-only without built-in wireless access point.
4. vs rugged industrial C1109 M2M series: C1109 models feature extended industrial temperature range and swappable front cellular PIM slots; C1113-8P targets standard commercial office and telco indoor environments with high PoE density and integrated DSL modem.
5. vs legacy ISR G2 C880/890 DSL routers: Older DSL ISRs run classic IOS without native SD-WAN, limited hardware crypto acceleration and lower PoE power capacity; C1113-8P utilizes modern IOS XE, dedicated VPN acceleration, flexible fiber SFP uplink and scalable mixed PoE LAN architecture.
