Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates at Layer 3, supporting advanced routing protocols for scalable network segmentation and inter-VLAN routing. It delivers full Gigabit Ethernet performance across all ports, with support for 10/100/1000Base-T copper and 1000Base-X fiber connections via the two SFP slots. The built-in power supply accepts 120-230V AC input and provides a total PoE budget of 120 watts, enabling it to power high-demand PoE+ devices such as dual-band wireless access points or pan-tilt-zoom cameras.
Networking standards compliance includes IEEE 802.3af/at for PoE, IEEE 802.3ad for link aggregation, IEEE 802.1x for port-based authentication, and IEEE 802.1Q for VLAN tagging. The switch is manageable through a web interface, CLI, or SNMP, offering features like QoS, ACLs, and port mirroring for network optimization and security.
Media Flexibility
Supports both twisted-pair copper and optical fiber media, allowing network designers to use fiber uplinks for longer-distance connections between floors or buildings while maintaining copper connectivity for endpoint devices.
Key Product Advantages
The C1300-8FP-2G provides a balanced combination of PoE capacity, uplink flexibility, and management depth in a compact, fanless chassis. Its eight PoE+ ports deliver up to 30 watts per port, sufficient for modern high-power PoE devices, while the two SFP slots enable fiber uplinks for backbone connectivity or long-distance runs.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include 120W PoE Budget, Dual SFP Uplinks, Layer 3 Routing, Rack-Mountable 1U.
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is ideal for small business networks, branch offices, and retail environments where a mix of PoE-powered devices and high-speed uplinks is required. Its Layer 3 capabilities allow it to serve as a core switch for smaller sites or as an aggregation switch in distributed deployments.
Typical deployments include powering VoIP phone systems with PoE, connecting multiple wireless access points for seamless roaming coverage, and linking security camera systems over extended distances using fiber uplinks. The rack-mountable design integrates cleanly into standard 19-inch server racks or wall-mounted network enclosures.
Unified Communications Ready
With eight PoE+ ports and QoS support, the switch can power IP phones, video conferencing units, and wireless access points while prioritizing voice and video traffic for clear, reliable communications.
Surveillance Backbone
The 120W PoE budget supports multiple high-resolution IP cameras, with fiber uplinks enabling long-distance camera placement in parking lots, warehouses, or across campus buildings.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 1.73 inches in height, 10.56 inches in width, and 10.71 inches in depth, fitting a standard 1U rack space. Its compact footprint and 5.71-pound weight make it easy to install in crowded racks or wall-mounted enclosures. The all-metal chassis provides durability and effective heat dissipation for the fanless design.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (43.94 mm), 10.56" (268.22 mm), 10.71" (272.03 mm), 5.71 lb (2590 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
