Cisco Catalyst C1200-16P-2G 16-Port PoE+ Switch

The Cisco Catalyst C1200-16P-2G is a compact, fanless 1RU Gigabit switch for small and midsize networks that need reliable PoE and simple, secure management. It provides 16 PoE+ access ports with a shared 120 W budget and two 1G SFP uplinks on a 36 Gbps non-blocking fabric. Management is straightforward via Cisco Business Dashboard (embedded probe), the Cisco Business mobile app, or the modern web interface, with additional CLI/SNMP options. With Layer 2 switching, Layer 3 static routing, rich QoS, and enterprise-grade security, C1200-16P-2G helps you segment, prioritize, and protect traffic without adding operational complexity.

Key Features:

• 16 × PoE+ access + 2 × SFP uplinks: Power APs, phones, and cameras while uplinking over fiber.
• Non-blocking performance: 36 Gbps switching capacity and 26.78 Mpps forwarding.
• Simple management: Cisco Business Dashboard/mobile app, web UI, CLI (SSH), SNMP, and PnP onboarding.
• Layer 3 static routing: Route between VLANs with up to 32 static routes and 16 SVIs.
• Enterprise security: 802.1X, IPv4/IPv6 ACLs, DoS prevention, port security, storm control.
• Quality of Service: 8 queues with 802.1p/DSCP classification, policing, and shaping.
• Quiet, efficient hardware: Fanless operation, compact 1RU footprint, energy-efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az).
