C1000-8FP-E-2G-L is a fanless, managed Layer 2 desktop switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports and two fixed 1G combo uplinks. Each uplink offers a copper connection or an SFP interface, with the paired connections sharing one uplink rather than providing additional independent ports. Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches serve small businesses and branch offices, including installations outside a wiring closet. Standards-compliant phones and wireless access points can receive power through the access connections. The sibling C1000-8P-E-2G-L, also discontinued, carries a smaller 67W endpoint-power budget. Fixed uplinks make copper-versus-fiber selection an interface choice, not a removable network-card choice; the chassis remains a compact desktop unit rather than a full-width rack switch.
C1000-8FP-E-2G-L price for new stock is $748.65, a 42.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,299.00. C1000-8FP-E-2G-L refurb price is $362.25. C1000-8FP-E-2G-L is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity accommodates the aggregate switching workload across the access and uplink connections. 14.88 Mpps forwarding performance applies to 64-byte packets, providing a separate packet-rate measure for traffic sizing. 120W of shared PoE power must be allocated across the connected endpoints rather than treated as a per-port allowance. 141.16W consumption with PoE provides a loaded operating figure for electrical planning. C1000-8FP-E-2G-L combines 512 MB DRAM with 256 MB flash for runtime operation and image storage. LACP supports Ethernet link aggregation, while RSTP and MSTP provide spanning-tree controls for redundant connections. Eight egress queues and two thresholds per port support traffic scheduling; Voice VLAN separates telephone traffic from data traffic. The MAC table accommodates 16000 entries for address learning. This fixed managed Gigabit Ethernet switch does not provide native 10G uplinks.
ORM Systems supplies C1000-8FP-E-2G-L new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, firmware verification and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, quantity and accessories on the purchase order; returns are 30 days on every condition, and terms apply. POs are accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and RMA includes advance replacement; regional stock and RMA cover the UK, EU, US and MEA for enterprise and volume orders.

When a branch rollout must place a compact switch in a 19-inch cabinet, mounting hardware belongs on the same purchase order as the unit. RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= supports the eight-port chassis. Specify RCKMNT-19-CMPCT=, the regional power cord and the cabinet mounting position before ordering.
When a site standardization order includes several Gigabit models, Single IP Management can group eight switches under one management address using their uplink connections. This is management grouping rather than dedicated hardware stacking. Specify the participating units and interswitch link media before releasing the purchase order.
When a staging bench needs direct console access before network configuration, CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 provides the serial connection to the switch's RJ-45 console port. Use 9600 baud, eight data bits and one stop bit. Include CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 on the staging accessory order and identify the terminal connection before dispatch.
10G links to distribution
Both fixed combo uplinks operate at 1G. Copper and fiber media choices remain Gigabit Ethernet connections; changing the connection medium does not provide native 10G uplink capability.
30W on every powered port
The 120W shared budget cannot supply eight ports at 30W simultaneously: 8 × 30W requires 240W. Concurrent endpoint demand must remain within the available shared allocation.
A model still sold by Cisco
Cisco ended sales of this model on April 30, 2025. C1300-8FP-2G is the current replacement, retaining eight Gigabit access ports and two Gigabit combo uplinks.

C1000-8FP-E-2G-L identifies a Catalyst 1000 eight-port Gigabit PoE+ switch with a 120W budget, external power and two 1G combo uplinks. C1000 denotes the family, 8 the access-port count, FP the higher PoE-budget configuration, E external power and 2G the uplinks. The switch uses a universal Cisco IOS image.
C1000-8FP-E-2G-L supports the Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI access through the RJ-45 console or SSH and Telnet, and SNMP management. An external USB Bluetooth dongle enables browser and CLI access over Bluetooth. Select the management connection and any required console accessory before installation.
C1000-8FP-E-2G-L reached end of sale on April 30, 2025, and its last date of Cisco support is April 30, 2030. Software maintenance ended April 30, 2026; security support ends April 30, 2028. C1300-8FP-2G is the current replacement for purchases requiring a successor model.
ORM Systems offers C1000-8FP-E-2G-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's enhanced limited lifetime warranty follows original-owner terms, with Cisco service ending April 30, 2030.
Catalyst 1000 switches use a single universal Cisco IOS software image with advanced Layer 2 functionality. The hardware order does not select between separate feature images. Specify the complete part number, required configuration and accessories rather than substituting software-tier suffixes from a different switch family.
C1000-8FP-E-2G-L provides a 120W shared PoE budget across eight powered access ports, with PoE+ supporting 30W per port. Eight simultaneous 30W allocations would require 240W, exceeding the available budget. Add the concurrent endpoint requirements before specifying the powered devices connected to the switch.
C1000-8FP-E-2G-L has two fixed 1G uplinks, each offering a shared RJ-45 connection and SFP interface. Each combo pair provides one uplink, not two independent connections. Specify copper or fiber for each link and select compatible SFP transceivers separately when using the fiber interfaces.
C1000-8FP-E-2G-L is externally powered through PWR-ADPT-150W, the AC adapter supplied with this configuration. The switch does not use an internal power-supply module. Include the correct regional AC power cord in the order and distinguish PWR-ADPT-150W from adapters supplied with lower-budget members of the family.
C1000-8FP-E-2G-L provides a 120W PoE budget, whereas C1000-8P-E-2G-L provides 67W. Both models are discontinued, so this comparison applies to legacy procurement. The 120W configuration suits larger aggregate endpoint-power requirements; the 67W configuration suits installations whose concurrent powered-device demand remains within the smaller budget.
C1000-8FP-E-2G-L uses external power through PWR-ADPT-150W, while C1000-8FP-2G-L contains its power supply within the chassis. Both models are discontinued. The external-power version suits legacy orders retaining a separate adapter arrangement; the internal-power version suits legacy installations requiring the supply inside the switch enclosure.
C1000-8FP-E-2G-L is discontinued, while C1300-8FP-2G is its current replacement. The lifecycle distinction matters when separating installed-base matching from successor procurement. The older model suits a requirement to retain the exact existing part number; C1300-8FP-2G suits an order requiring the current replacement rather than legacy inventory.
The eight-port Catalyst 1000 desktop switch can be installed in a 19-inch rack using RCKMNT-19-CMPCT=. The narrow chassis requires the mounting accessory rather than spanning the cabinet width by itself. Include RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= explicitly when the purchase requires rack installation instead of desktop placement.
