C1000-8T-E-2G-L is a fanless, managed Gigabit Ethernet desktop switch with eight non-PoE access ports and two fixed 1G SFP/RJ-45 combo uplinks. Each combo uplink selects copper or fiber rather than operating both connections simultaneously. This Catalyst 1000 configuration provides Layer 2+ access for small businesses and branch offices where endpoints receive power separately. An external AC adapter distinguishes the configuration from the discontinued C1000-8T-2G-L, which contains an internal supply. The compact chassis supports placement outside a conventional wiring closet, while the fixed uplink architecture keeps the connection choice at Gigabit speed rather than offering an expansion bay.
C1000-8T-E-2G-L price for new stock is $399.00, a 46.3% saving from the Cisco list price of $743.00. C1000-8T-E-2G-L refurb price is $246.75. C1000-8T-E-2G-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity supports the combined access and uplink interfaces without substituting a stacking-bandwidth figure. 14.88 Mpps forwarding capacity characterizes packet handling at the 64-byte test size. Static routing provides manually configured network paths rather than dynamic route learning. C1000-8T-E-2G-L pairs 512 MB DRAM with 256 MB flash for its Cisco IOS operating environment. The MAC table accommodates 16000 entries, and the switch supports 256 active VLANs. Management options include the on-box web interface, CLI, and SNMP; a dedicated out-of-band Ethernet management interface is absent. 14W consumption at the 100%-traffic operating point provides a load reference for electrical planning, distinct from an adapter's rated output. Temperature planning must also account for altitude and the restriction of 50°C operation to short periods.
ORM Systems offers C1000-8T-E-2G-L in new sealed and certified refurbished condition; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, every port links at rated speed, optics bay recognition is checked, and firmware is verified before configuration is wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and both conditions have 30-day returns with terms applying; eligible Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage is separate and cannot extend beyond April 30, 2030. Specify the condition, quantity, supplied external adapter, and required accessories on the purchase order. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When a branch order requires rack placement instead of a desktop location, mounting hardware must be specified separately. RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= fits the eight-port chassis, but compact models do not include rack brackets. Add RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= to the purchase order and confirm the mounting location before installation scheduling.
When several small sites need a standardized initial configuration, the embedded Network Plug and Play agent requires a preconfigured network PnP server. The server manages device images and configurations before rollout. Specify the staging server, approved image, and site configuration files before releasing the hardware purchase order.
When the purchase supports troubleshooting or a staging bench, four SPAN sessions establish the limit for simultaneous traffic-mirroring sessions. Map the required source interfaces and capture connections before allocating the unit. Specify the monitoring connections, capture equipment, and approved test configuration before issuing the purchase order.
PoE-powered phones and wireless access points
C1000-8T-E-2G-L supplies data connectivity without endpoint power. C1300-8P-E-2G provides eight Gigabit ports with PoE and two 1G combo uplinks for powered-device requirements.
10G uplinks to distribution switches
C1000-8T-E-2G-L limits uplinks to 1G. C1300-24T-4X offers four 10G SFP+ uplinks and 24 Gigabit access ports, so the alternative also increases access-port density.
Dynamic routing at the branch edge
C1000-8T-E-2G-L supports static routing rather than dynamic route learning. The configuration does not provide automatically exchanged routes for deployments requiring a dynamic routing control plane.

C1000-8T-E-2G-L identifies a Catalyst 1000 configuration: C1000 is the family, 8T specifies eight 10/100/1000 data ports, E denotes external power, and 2G specifies two 1G SFP/RJ-45 combo uplinks. The complete identifier distinguishes this externally powered, non-PoE configuration from powered-port variants in the same family.
C1000-8T-E-2G-L is managed through Cisco Configuration Professional's on-box web UI, CLI over RJ-45 console, SSH or Telnet, and SNMP. An external USB Bluetooth adapter also enables browser or SSH/Telnet access from a laptop or tablet. Encrypted management requires the appropriate cryptographic software image.
Yes, C1000-8T-E-2G-L reached end of sale on April 30, 2025, with last support on April 30, 2030. Software maintenance ended April 30, 2026; vulnerability and security support ends April 30, 2028. C1300-8T-E-2G is the replacement, while continued service depends on applicable warranty eligibility or an active support contract.
ORM Systems offers C1000-8T-E-2G-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty applies to eligible original end users and cannot extend beyond April 30, 2030.
C1000-8T-E-2G-L provides two fixed 1G SFP/RJ-45 combo uplinks, each using copper or fiber as alternative media. The copper connector and SFP cage in each pair share one interface; they are not four independent uplinks. A connection plan therefore has two logical uplink interfaces available at Gigabit speed.
Yes, Catalyst 1000 Gigabit Ethernet switches support Single IP Management for eight switches connected through front-panel uplinks. This groups management without providing a dedicated stacking backplane. The uplink connections remain part of the network connection plan, and sFlow monitoring does not operate on switches within the shared management group.
Static routing is the routing functionality supported by Catalyst 1000 switches. Administrators configure the required paths rather than relying on dynamic route learning. This supports a Layer 2+ classification for the configuration, but a requirement for automatically exchanged routes needs a different routing capability rather than an assumed software-tier upgrade.
Yes, C1000-8T-E-2G-L can be installed in a rack using RCKMNT-19-CMPCT=, which is ordered separately. The compact chassis remains a desktop form factor and does not include rack brackets. The mounting accessory belongs in the order, rather than being assumed to ship with the eight-port switch.
C1000-8T-E-2G-L uses an external AC adapter and consumes 14W at the 100%-traffic operating point. Catalyst 1000 does not support RPS or XPS power systems. The adapter must therefore be included in the supply scope; this configuration does not offer a second internal power-supply module for redundancy.
C1000-8P-E-2G-L delivers PoE+ from eight access ports with a shared 67W budget; C1000-8T-E-2G-L provides data ports without PoE. Both models are discontinued. The PoE variant serves powered endpoints within its budget, while the non-PoE model suits endpoints supplied with power separately from the network connection.
C1000-8T-E-2G-L uses an external power adapter, whereas C1000-8T-2G-L contains an internal supply. Both configurations are discontinued. The externally powered model suits orders specifying an adapter outside the chassis; the internally powered variant suits replacement purchases requiring the power supply to remain inside the switch enclosure.
C1300-8T-E-2G is the replacement for discontinued C1000-8T-E-2G-L, rather than another Catalyst 1000 power variant. The replacement retains eight Gigabit access ports, external power, and two 1G combo uplinks. Existing-model sparing points to Catalyst 1000; a migration purchase points to the named Catalyst 1300 replacement.
