Product Features
Technical Overview
The SPA8000 gateway operates on Fast Ethernet technology with 10/100Base-TX network standards, providing sufficient bandwidth for voice traffic across its eight FXS ports. The single RJ-45 network port handles all IP connectivity, while the eight RJ-11 FXS ports connect directly to analog phones, fax machines, or other traditional telephony devices.
This gateway does not support Power over Ethernet, requiring separate power connectivity through its included adapter. The device maintains a compact footprint suitable for desktop or shelf placement, with dimensions that allow flexible installation in various office environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as PoE (RJ-45) Port, Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Number of FXS (RJ-11) Ports, Ethernet Technology, 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 analog phones can I connect to this gateway?
The Cisco SPA8000 gateway supports up to eight analog devices simultaneously through its eight FXS ports. Each RJ-11 port can connect to a standard analog telephone, fax machine, or other telephony device, allowing you to maintain multiple legacy devices on your IP network without requiring individual adapters for each endpoint.
Does this gateway support Power over Ethernet?
No, this gateway does not support Power over Ethernet. It requires separate power connectivity through its included power adapter. This means you'll need both a network cable for data connectivity and a power cable for electrical power, which is typical for gateways in this class that don't incorporate PoE technology.
What type of network connection does this gateway use?
The gateway uses a single RJ-45 Fast Ethernet port with 10/100Base-TX network standards. This provides sufficient bandwidth for voice traffic across all eight FXS ports while maintaining compatibility with standard office network infrastructure. The Fast Ethernet connection supports data rates up to 100 Mbps, which is adequate for typical telephony applications.
What does 'refurbished' mean for this product?
Refurbished means this Cisco SPA8000 gateway has been professionally tested, inspected, and restored to full working condition. Refurbished products typically undergo thorough quality checks to ensure they meet original performance specifications, offering a cost-effective alternative to new equipment while maintaining reliability and functionality for business deployment.
Can I use this gateway with wireless networks?
No, this gateway does not include wireless LAN capabilities. It requires a wired Ethernet connection to your network infrastructure.
