C1000-16T-2G-L is a fanless, managed Layer 2 desktop switch with 16 Gigabit Ethernet copper access ports and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The uplinks occupy dedicated SFP slots rather than copper/fiber combo ports, and their speed does not depend on installing an expansion card. A fixed internal AC power supply powers the chassis; the access ports carry data without supplying PoE to connected endpoints. The Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series targets small businesses and branch offices using locally managed access switching. Unlike this data-only configuration, the discontinued C1000-16P-2G-L provides PoE+ endpoint power. Specify this configuration for separately powered equipment when the required copper density and fixed fiber uplinks match the connection plan.
C1000-16T-2G-L price for new stock is $639.29, a 50.1% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,282.00. C1000-16T-2G-L refurb price is $612.47. C1000-16T-2G-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

36 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching-throughput reference for traffic sizing. 26.78 Mpps forwarding rate supplies the packet-processing reference for 64-byte packets, distinct from the bandwidth figure. 16.68W consumption at 100% traffic provides an operating-load figure rather than a power-supply rating. C1000-16T-2G-L has 512 MB DRAM and 256 MB flash for runtime operation and software storage. The 16000-entry MAC table supports address learning across connected Ethernet devices. STP/RSTP/MSTP provide spanning-tree controls, while LACP supports aggregated Ethernet links. Administrators can configure the 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch through its on-box web UI or CLI and monitor traffic with sFlow. RADIUS and TACACS+ support centralized administrator authentication. SSH and encrypted SNMP v3 require the cryptographic software image, so secure management access depends on the installed image as well as the chosen protocol.
ORM Systems supplies C1000-16T-2G-L new sealed with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year ORM warranty; both conditions have 30-day returns, terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, optics bay recognition, PSU status and clean boot, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Cisco's enhanced limited lifetime warranty applies to eligible original owners; Cisco service ends April 30, 2030. Specify quantity, condition and regional power cord on the PO; ORM accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and provides RMA with advance replacement for enterprise and volume orders.

When a branch rollout places compact switches in equipment cabinets instead of on desks, mounting accessories become separate purchase-order lines. RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= provides rack brackets for 8- and 16-port models, while CMPCT-DIN-MNT provides DIN rail mounting. Specify the installation surface and corresponding accessory with each unit.
When an engineering team stages an access configuration and traffic capture before site handover, four SPAN sessions set the mirroring limit for the test plan. CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 is a supported console cable option for local setup. Specify the cable and check the capture-session requirements before issuing the staging purchase order.
When procurement needs regional spares rather than a new branch installation, ORM Systems provides stock and RMA handling across the UK, EU, US and MEA. Identify the regional operation that will handle the order, the required spare quantity and the condition to be supplied. Confirm those details before issuing the PO.
PoE power for connected endpoints
C1000-16T-2G-L supplies no endpoint power. The current C1300-16P-2G provides PoE while retaining 16 Gigabit access ports and two 1G SFP uplinks; specify the powered replacement when Ethernet must deliver power.
10G uplinks to upstream equipment
C1000-16T-2G-L has fixed 1G uplinks. The current C1300-24T-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks, but also increases access-port density to 24 ports rather than preserving the 16-port configuration.
Dual internal power supply redundancy
C1000-16T-2G-L has a single fixed power supply. A requirement for two internal supplies or redundant internal power modules cannot be met by this chassis configuration.

C1000-16T-2G-L identifies a Catalyst 1000 switch: C1000 names the series, 16T denotes 16 copper 10/100/1000 data ports, and 2G denotes two 1G SFP uplinks. Use the complete PID, including -L, on the purchase order to select this configuration rather than a PoE or external-power variant.
C1000-16T-2G-L supports Cisco Configuration Professional's on-box web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 console access, SNMP and Bluetooth access through an external USB dongle. Bluetooth supports browser and CLI sessions; SSH and encrypted SNMP v3 require the cryptographic software image, so confirm that image when specifying secure administration.
C1000-16T-2G-L is discontinued: Cisco ended sales on April 30, 2025, and routine software maintenance on April 30, 2026. Vulnerability support ends April 30, 2028, and the last support date is April 30, 2030. Cisco service depends on existing eligible coverage; the current replacement is C1300-16T-2G.
ORM Systems supplies C1000-16T-2G-L new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's enhanced limited lifetime warranty applies to eligible original owners, with Cisco service ending April 30, 2030.
C1000-16T-2G-L replaces discontinued WS-C2960L-16TS-JP, WS-C2960L-16TS-LL and WS-C2960L-16TSLL++, which reached end-of-sale on October 31, 2021. Their last Cisco support date is October 31, 2026. Because the replacement itself is discontinued, distinguish a like-for-like C1000 spare requirement from a refresh to the current C1300-16T-2G.
C1000-16T-2G-L has two fixed 1G SFP uplink slots, separate from its 16 copper access ports. These are dedicated SFP uplinks rather than shared copper/fiber combo ports. Specify compatible transceivers for the intended link; a removable uplink expansion card cannot increase this model's fixed uplink speed.
Yes, the 16-port Catalyst 1000 can be installed in an equipment rack with RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= brackets. The compact chassis remains a desktop form factor rather than a full-width rack chassis. CMPCT-DIN-MNT is the alternative mounting accessory for a DIN rail installation; specify the appropriate accessory with the switch.
Yes, Gigabit Ethernet Catalyst 1000 switches support Single IP Management for eight switches connected through their uplink ports. The shared address groups management rather than providing a dedicated stacking interface. Plan the inter-switch connections alongside external uplinks, and distinguish management grouping from a separate hardware stack fabric when specifying the installation.
Catalyst 1000 switches use a single universal Cisco IOS software image with advanced Layer 2 functionality. The embedded web UI and CLI support on-device configuration. For administration using SSH or encrypted SNMP v3, specify the cryptographic image; secure management depends on that image, not merely on selecting an access protocol.
C1000-16T-2G-L operates from -5°C to 50°C at sea level, but 50°C is allowed only for short-term operation; minimum cold-start temperature is 0°C. The allowable upper temperature falls to 45°C at 1500 m and 40°C at 3000 m. Check ambient conditions and startup requirements before choosing the mounting location.
C1000-16T-2G-L is non-PoE, whereas discontinued C1000-16P-2G-L has 16 PoE+ ports sharing a 120W budget. The powered model serves endpoints requiring electricity over Ethernet; the data-only model suits separately powered equipment. Both reached Cisco end-of-sale on April 30, 2025, so this comparison applies to remaining-stock or replacement-unit purchases.
C1000-16T-2G-L uses a fixed internal AC supply, while discontinued C1000-16T-E-2G-L uses an external power supply. Both reached Cisco end-of-sale on April 30, 2025. Specify the internal-supply model when power belongs inside the enclosure, or the external-supply variant when procurement requires a separate power adapter.
C1000-16T-2G-L reached end-of-sale on April 30, 2025, while C1300-16T-2G is its current replacement. Both identify 16-port Gigabit configurations with two 1G SFP uplinks. Existing installations seeking the original model can specify a C1000 spare; procurement requiring a current replacement should specify C1300-16T-2G rather than the discontinued predecessor.
C1000-16T-2G-L-RF identifies the Cisco-remanufactured version of this Catalyst 1000 switch. That designation is separate from ORM's certified refurbished condition on C1000-16T-2G-L, which involves inspection and bench testing. Specify the exact PID and requested condition on the purchase order rather than using -RF as a generic refurbished label.
