Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch provides a total of ten Gigabit Ethernet ports, with eight supporting PoE+ (802.3at) to deliver up to 30W per port for devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The remaining two ports are combo Gigabit Ethernet ports that share the two SFP slots, allowing for flexible uplink configuration using either twisted-pair or optical fiber media.
With a 120W PoE budget, the switch can power multiple PoE devices simultaneously without requiring additional midspan injectors. It operates at Layer 2, supporting essential switching features including VLANs (802.1Q), QoS (802.1p), link aggregation (802.3ad), and energy-efficient Ethernet (802.3az).
This section brings together practical product details such as Features, Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Uplink Port, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

FAQ
How many PoE ports does this switch have and what is the total PoE budget?
The Cisco Catalyst C1200-8FP-2G-RF has eight PoE+ ports that support the 802.3at standard, delivering up to 30W per port. The total PoE budget is 120W, which allows the switch to power multiple PoE devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras simultaneously without requiring additional power injectors.
What type of uplink options are available on this switch?
This switch features two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots that support both fiber optic and copper transceivers. These are combo ports that share with two of the Gigabit Ethernet ports, giving you flexibility to use either twisted-pair Ethernet or fiber optic connections for uplinks to other network switches or routers.
Is this a managed or unmanaged switch?
This is a fully managed Layer 2 switch. It supports comprehensive management features including VLAN configuration (802.1Q), Quality of Service (802.1p), link aggregation (802.3ad), and security protocols like 802.1x for network access control.
