8-port Layer 3 switch with PoE+

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-8MGP-2X is a managed Layer 3 switch built for rack mounting. It delivers eight copper ports with PoE+ and two SFP+ uplink slots in a fanless design. The unit supports Gigabit, 2.5 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards. It is suited to small business networks that need routing between VLANs without a separate router.

Small offices needing simple managed routing

This switch fits teams that want a single box for access, PoE+ power and Layer 3 routing. The Cisco Business mobile app and local web UI let administrators configure VLANs, QoS and security policies without specialist training. Buyers who need high-density 10G copper ports or modular power supplies should look at larger Catalyst models. Environments requiring redundant fans or hot-swap modules are not addressed by this fixed-configuration unit.

120 W PoE+ budget across eight ports

The total PoE+ power budget is 120 W, shared across the four 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and the four 2.5GBASE-T ports. This figure determines how many access points, IP cameras or VoIP phones can be powered simultaneously. Calculate the draw of each endpoint before deployment to avoid oversubscription. The switch also accepts 120 V or 230 V AC input at 50 or 60 Hz.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the C1300-8MGP-2X is routing Layer 3 traffic correctly after installation?

Check the Cisco Business Dashboard or local web interface for active routing tables and neighbour adjacencies; the switch supports Layer 3 routing for scalable network design.

What ships with the C1300-8MGP-2X and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the switch, a power cord, a mounting kit and a pointer card; SFP+ transceivers for the two 10 Gigabit uplink slots are not included.

Which port mix should I choose between the 10/100/1000BASE-T and 2.5 Gigabit PoE+ RJ-45 ports on this model?

This SKU fixes the mix at four 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports and four 2.5 Gigabit PoE+ ports, sharing a 120 W PoE budget across all eight ports.
