Cisco Catalyst C1000-8P-E-2G-L Full English Product Description
1. Product Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C1000-8P-E-2G-L is a compact fanless Layer 2 managed Gigabit PoE+ switch from Catalyst 1000 Series powered by Cisco IOS software. The suffix "-E" denotes external AC power adapter design, distinguishing it from internal PSU C1000-8P-2G-L modelCisco. It features 8 PoE+ Gigabit RJ45 downlink ports with a total 67W PoE power budget, paired with dual 1G SFP/RJ45 combo uplink interfaces. This lightweight half-rack switch delivers flexible external power deployment, silent passive cooling, complete enterprise L2 switching functions, multi-access local management, and reliable power delivery for VoIP phones, low-power Wi-Fi APs and basic IP cameras. It is ideal for small retail kiosks, remote satellite branches, classroom pods and distributed out-of-closet PoE deployments with flexible power wiring layout requirements.
