Cisco Catalyst C1000-8P-2G-L Full English Product Description
1. Product Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C1000-8P-2G-L is a compact fanless Layer 2 managed Gigabit PoE+ switch from the Catalyst 1000 Series, running full Cisco IOS firmware. Equipped with an internal built-in power supply, it delivers 8 PoE+ Gigabit RJ45 downlink ports paired with dual 1G SFP/RJ45 combo uplink ports and a total 67W PoE power budget. Designed for small branch offices, retail shops, classroom pods, entry-level surveillance and compact workgroup PoE deployments, this silent half-rack switch supports power delivery to VoIP phones, low-power Wi-Fi APs and basic IP cameras, alongside enterprise-grade L2 switching, comprehensive security, multi-channel local management and flexible copper/fiber uplink choices for space-restricted, noise-free wiring closets.
