C1000-8P-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 an SFP connection or an RJ-45 connection, with the paired interfaces sharing one link rather than operating simultaneously. The compact Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series configuration serves small-business and branch access networks connecting IP phones, wireless access points and wired clients outside the wiring closet. An internal fixed AC power supply powers the unit without a separate desktop adapter. The discontinued C1000-8FP-2G-L sibling increases the shared endpoint-power budget to 120W for buyers maintaining the same family. Fixed uplinks establish the upstream speed limit, so this configuration does not provide a 10G uplink or an expansion bay for a higher-speed uplink card.
C1000-8P-2G-L price for new stock is $406.35, a 51.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $842.00. C1000-8P-2G-L refurb price is $298.41. C1000-8P-2G-L is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity accommodates the access and uplink interfaces, while 14.88 Mpps forwarding handles the 64-byte packet workload. 67W of shared PoE budget limits aggregate endpoint allocation; individual powered ports support 30W PoE+ when sufficient budget remains. Perpetual PoE maintains endpoint power during a switch reload. C1000-8P-2G-L carries 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for its operating image and configuration. The Catalyst 1000 supports 16000 MAC entries and 256 active VLANs, setting limits for connected-device addressing and segmentation. STP, RSTP and MSTP control Layer 2 topology behavior; LACP groups Ethernet links, and IGMP snooping limits multicast delivery to interested receivers. Administrators can use the local web interface, CLI and SNMP for configuration and monitoring. The 0.11 kVA maximum apparent-input rating provides an AC capacity-planning figure, not an equivalent wattage measurement of typical operating consumption.
ORM Systems offers C1000-8P-2G-L in new sealed and certified refurbished condition, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units, up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on either condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, PoE output under load on every powered port and optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and the regional power cord on the purchase order. Enterprise and volume purchasing supports PO acceptance, government Net-30 and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA coverage in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

Replacing discontinued WS-C2960L-8PS-LL or WS-C2960L-SM-8PS equipment triggers a part-number and configuration review rather than a like-for-like assumption. Both older models reached end of sale on October 31, 2021. Match the existing copper connections, uplink media and endpoint requirements before specifying the replacement quantity on the purchase order.
When a branch rollout requires rack installation rather than shelf placement, the compact chassis needs RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= for mounting in a standard equipment rack. The bracket is not included with the base unit. Add the mounting accessory to each site's bill of materials before releasing the switch purchase order.
During validation before a staged rollout, traffic mirroring can use four SPAN sessions, while spanning-tree tests must fit within 64 STP instances. Keep the planned captures and topology checks within those limits, and specify CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 for the staging connection before releasing the purchase order.
10G uplinks to distribution
C1000-8P-2G-L has two fixed 1G combo uplinks with no 10G uplink option. The chassis cannot accept a removable uplink card to add higher-speed upstream connectivity.
Redundant internal power supplies
C1000-8P-2G-L uses one fixed internal AC supply rather than a dual-supply chassis. Internal power-supply redundancy cannot be added by installing a second PSU.
Eight endpoints requiring 30W each
C1000-8P-2G-L shares 67W across eight powered ports, so eight endpoints each requiring 30W exceed its total budget. Per-port PoE+ capability does not guarantee simultaneous maximum output.

C1000-8P-2G-L identifies a Catalyst 1000 switch with eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports, a 67W budget and two 1G combo uplinks. C1000 denotes the series, 8 the access-port count, P the PoE+ configuration and 2G the uplinks. The complete identifier selects the internal-power configuration.
C1000-8P-2G-L is managed through the Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 console access and SNMP. An optional USB Bluetooth dongle enables browser access or SSH/Telnet CLI access from a laptop or tablet. Single IP Management also centralizes administration of compatible Gigabit models through one address.
C1000-8P-2G-L provides a shared 67W PoE budget across eight powered ports, with PoE+ supporting 30W per port when allocation permits. Eight ports requesting 30W each would exceed that budget. Size the combined endpoint requirement rather than assuming every port can supply its maximum simultaneously; Perpetual PoE maintains power during reloads.
C1000-8P-2G-L has two fixed 1G combo uplinks, each pairing an SFP interface with an RJ-45 interface. Only one interface in each pair supplies that uplink connection, so copper and fiber do not create four independent uplinks. The uplinks are fixed and cannot accept a removable higher-speed uplink card.
The Catalyst 1000 uses one universal Cisco IOS Software image with advanced Layer 2 functionality, not separately selectable network feature tiers. C1000-8P-2G-L follows that software configuration. A subscription tier and minimum subscription term are not part of the hardware configuration; specify the switch and deployment accessories on the purchase order.
No, C1000-8P-2G-L does not provide dedicated hardware stacking; Single IP Management groups eight compatible Gigabit Catalyst 1000 switches for administration through one address. Connections use uplink ports rather than dedicated stack connectors. Treat this as centralized management, not additional stacking bandwidth, and account for the uplinks used between switches.
Yes, the eight-port Catalyst 1000 desktop models can be installed in a rack with RCKMNT-19-CMPCT=, which is not included with C1000-8P-2G-L. The compact chassis remains a desktop form factor rather than a full-width rack chassis. CMPCT-DIN-MNT provides a separate DIN rail mounting option; specify the mounting accessory separately.
C1000-8P-2G-L has a maximum apparent-input rating of 0.11 kVA for AC capacity planning. Its 12.19W consumption at 100% traffic does not establish total draw with a fully loaded PoE budget. Apparent power and watts are different quantities, so the kVA rating must not be presented as an equivalent wattage.
C1000-8P-2G-L is discontinued: Cisco end of sale was April 30, 2025, and the last date of support is April 30, 2030. Software maintenance ended April 30, 2026; security support ends April 30, 2028. The replacement is C1300-8P-E-2G, while support eligibility for remaining service depends on existing entitlement.
C1000-8P-2G-L replaced the discontinued WS-C2960L-8PS-JP, WS-C2960L-8PS-LL, WS-C2960L-8PSLL++ and WS-C2960L-SM-8PS models, whose end-of-sale date was October 31, 2021. Those identifiers cover earlier eight-port Gigabit PoE configurations. C1000-8P-2G-L is now also discontinued, so a new refresh should include evaluation of its current replacement, C1300-8P-E-2G.
ORM Systems offers C1000-8P-2G-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty is separate, covers the original end user under its terms, and cannot extend beyond April 30, 2030.
C1000-8FP-2G-L provides a 120W PoE budget, compared with 67W on C1000-8P-2G-L. Both retain eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports and two 1G combo uplinks, and both are discontinued. The FP model suits existing-family orders needing more endpoint-power allocation; the P model suits loads that fit within the smaller shared budget.
C1000-8P-2G-L uses an internal fixed AC power supply, while C1000-8P-E-2G-L uses an external power supply. Both offer the same 67W PoE budget and two 1G combo uplinks, and both are discontinued. Choose the internal-power configuration for existing installations avoiding a separate adapter; choose the external-power configuration when that supply arrangement is required.
C1000-8P-2G-L is discontinued, whereas C1300-8P-E-2G is its current replacement. The successor retains an eight-port Gigabit PoE configuration with two 1G combo uplinks. The older model suits maintaining an existing Catalyst 1000 estate; the replacement belongs on a refresh purchase order when a current model is required.
The Catalyst 1000 operates from -5°C to 50°C at sea level, with 50°C limited to short-term operation and cold starts requiring at least 0°C. C1000-8P-2G-L has lower upper limits at altitude: 45°C at 1500 m and 40°C at 3000 m. Check ambient temperature and installation altitude before ordering.
