Cisco Catalyst C1000-8FP-E-2G-L - 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Managed Switch, 120W PoE Budget, 2x 1G SFP/RJ-45 Combo Uplinks - Cisco Refresh

The Cisco Catalyst C1000-8FP-E-2G-L is a fixed managed enterprise-class Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch built for small businesses, branch offices, retail locations, classrooms, and out-of-the-wiring-closet IoT deployments. It delivers 8x 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports with a 120W PoE power budget — enough headroom to power Cisco IP phones, 802.3at-compliant wireless access points, and IP security cameras over a single cable. Two 1G SFP/RJ-45 combo uplinks provide flexible fiber or copper backhaul to the upstream network. A compact, fanless chassis with external power supply makes it ideal for quiet, hide-in-plain-sight installation on a desktop, shelf, or short rack. This unit is sold as Cisco Refresh — Cisco's certified remanufactured product program, with the unit remanufactured and certified by Cisco.

Cisco Catalyst C1000-8FP-E-2G-L - Key Features & Benefits

• 8 PoE+ Ports with 120W Power Budget: Eight 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3af PoE and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ up to 30W per port, with a 120W system-wide PoE power budget shared across the eight ports
• 2 Combo Uplinks — Fiber or Copper: Two 1 Gigabit SFP / RJ-45 combo uplink ports let you choose copper (1000BASE-T) for short runs or SFP fiber (1000BASE-SX/LX/BX with compatible Cisco SFPs) for distance, redundancy, or links to a core switch
• Layer 2 Enterprise Switching at 20 Gbps: 20 Gbps switching bandwidth, 10 Gbps forwarding bandwidth, and a 14.88 Mpps forwarding rate (64-byte L3 packets, per Cisco datasheet) with full VLAN, QoS, ACL, and IGMP snooping support
• Fanless, Compact, External Power Supply: Silent fanless operation and a shallow 7.28" deep chassis (vs. 12.73" on the internal-PSU C1000-8FP-2G-L) make it ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, retail counters, and open-plan offices where noise and depth matter
• Cisco IOS — CLI + On-Box Web UI: Runs full Cisco IOS Software (Universal K9 image) for familiar CLI-driven configuration plus an on-box web UI via Cisco Configuration Professional for fast day-zero setup, with AutoSecure, Auto SmartPorts, and DHCP auto-configuration for low-touch deployment
• Practical Enterprise Security: 802.1X authentication with flexible auth and MAB, port security, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, BPDU Guard, IPv4/IPv6 ACLs, SSH v2, SNMPv3, RADIUS, and TACACS+ — configurable in one shot with the AutoSecure CLI

Cisco Catalyst C1000-8FP-E-2G-L - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What does "Cisco Refresh" mean?
  Cisco Refresh is Cisco's official certified remanufactured product program. Per Cisco, Refresh units are remanufactured and certified by Cisco, have had any critical engineering change orders applied, and are tested and retested to meet Cisco's specifications. Each unit ships with a valid Cisco software license.
• What is the difference between the C1000-8FP-E-2G-L and the C1000-8FP-2G-L?
  The port specs are identical — 8x PoE+, 120W budget, 2x SFP/RJ-45 combo uplinks. The "E" variant uses an external power brick, giving it a much shorter chassis (7.28" deep vs. 12.73" on the non-E model). Choose the -E when you need a shallow footprint; choose the non-E if you want the PSU built in.
• How is the switch powered, and is the power supply included?
  The C1000-8FP-E-2G-L is powered by an external Cisco AC power adapter, which is included. The adapter accepts 110–220V AC, 50/60 Hz auto-ranging, so it works on US and international mains without a converter.
• Can the two uplinks be used for SFP fiber AND copper at the same time?
  No — the uplinks are combo ports, meaning each uplink port can be EITHER the SFP slot OR the RJ-45 jack, not both simultaneously. You can run one as SFP and the other as RJ-45, or both the same way — whichever pairing your network needs.
• Does this switch support true hardware stacking like a Catalyst 9300?
  No. The Catalyst 1000 series does not support StackWise or StackWise Virtual. It does support Single IP Management, which lets up to 8 Catalyst 1000 Gigabit switches be grouped over the SFP uplink ports and administered under a single IP address — useful for simpler management of multiple units, but it is not a unified-data-plane stack. If you need true hardware stacking, look at the Catalyst 9200/9300 series.
