Cisco Catalyst 1200 8-Port PoE+ Switch with 2 Gigabit Combo Ports, C1200-8P-E-2G

C1200-8P-E-2G is a compact Catalyst 1200 switch with eight 10/100/1000 RJ-45 PoE+ ports and two Gigabit combo ports that take either copper or SFP, one medium active per combo port at a time. There are 10 system ports in all, and no 10 Gigabit uplinks.

The PoE budget is 67 W, and each Gigabit port can deliver up to 30 W until that budget is used up. Switching capacity is 20 Gbps, wire-speed and non-blocking, with a forwarding rate of 14.88 Mpps for 64-byte packets and a 1.5 MB packet buffer shared across the ports.

The switch is fanless and draws power through an external supply for 100 to 240 V at 50 to 60 Hz. System consumption is 13.04 W at 110 V and 13.33 W at 220 V, and with PoE loaded it rises to 87.89 W at 110 V and 84.86 W at 220 V. Heat dissipation is 299.91 BTU/hr. The chassis measures 268 x 185 x 44 mm (10.56 x 7.28 x 1.73 in), weighs 1.53 kg (3.37 lb), and mounts in a rack. Calculated MTBF is 1,706,649 hours at 25 C.

Inside, a dual-core ARM CPU at 1.4 GHz works with 1 GB of DDR4 DRAM and 512 MB of flash. The MAC table holds 8,000 addresses, up to 255 VLANs can be active at once, and jumbo frames pass up to 9,000 bytes. Up to 4 port channels of 8 ports each can be built, and Layer 3 routing handles up to 32 static IPv4 routes and 16 IP interfaces. Management is through an RJ-45 console or a USB Type-C console port.

Larger Catalyst 1200 switches include the C1200-24P-4G and the C1200-48T-4X.
