Cisco Catalyst C1200-8P-E-2G 8-Port PoE+ Fanless Switch

Cisco Catalyst C1200-8P-E-2G 8-Port PoE+ Fanless Switch

The Cisco C1200-8P-E-2G is a compact, silent smart switch built for small offices, retail sites, and edge deployments that need reliable PoE+ power and simple management. Eight Gigabit PoE+ ports deliver power and data to IP phones, access points, and cameras, while two Gigabit combo uplinks (RJ-45/SFP) provide flexible backhaul to aggregation or fiber runs. With a 67W PoE budget, intuitive web and mobile management, and essential Layer 3 static routing for inter-VLAN traffic, this fanless 1U switch is an efficient foundation for secure, space-constrained networks.
