Cisco Catalyst C1300-8T-E-2G 8-Port Fanless Gigabit Switch

Cisco Catalyst C1300-8T-E-2G 8-Port Fanless Gigabit Switch

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-8T-E-2G is a compact, silent Layer 3 access switch that delivers enterprise features for small sites. It provides 8 × 1G access ports plus two 1G combo uplinks (RJ-45/SFP) for flexible copper or fiber backhaul. With a 20 Gbps switching fabric and 14.88 Mpps forwarding, it offers non-blocking performance, while advanced L2/L3 services (static, RIP v2, PBR), rich QoS, and comprehensive access security (802.1X, DHCP snooping, IPSG, DAI) ensure predictable and protected traffic flows. Operations are simplified via Web UI/CLI/SSH, SNMP, the embedded Cisco Business Dashboard probe, and Plug-and-Play onboarding.
