C1200-8P-E-2G is a fanless, managed Layer 2+ desktop switch with eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports and two fixed Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. The Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series serves small-business networks connecting computers, phones, cameras and wireless access points. Each uplink offers a copper or fiber connection rather than two independently usable interfaces. The nearest data-only sibling, C1200-8T-E-2G, retains the same access-port count and combo uplink arrangement without endpoint power delivery. An external AC adapter supplies mains power to the compact chassis.
C1200-8P-E-2G price for new stock is $339.15, a 45.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $621.03. C1200-8P-E-2G refurb price is $530.15. C1200-8P-E-2G is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity supports wire-speed traffic across the available ports. 14.88 Mpps forwarding rate applies to 64-byte packets. C1200-8P-E-2G runs the customized Linux OS of the Catalyst 1200 Series Switches, with static IPv4 routing limited to 32 routes and 16 IP interfaces. Dynamic routing is outside its routing capabilities.
C1200-8P-E-2G is offered New sealed or Certified refurbished, with ORM warranty of up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port. Specify the condition and accessory quantities on the purchase order; Cisco's separate hardware warranty is limited lifetime. For enterprise and volume orders, ORM accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and provides RMA with advance replacement.

When replacing discontinued CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA equipment, the migration destination is C1200-8P-E-2G. The predecessor's end-of-sale date was October 29, 2024, not an end-of-sale date for the replacement. Before issuing the PO, specify the exact migration PID and condition rather than repeating the retired regional part number.
When purchasing a staging or spare unit, C1200-8P-E-2G can be specified Certified refurbished, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM provides regional stock and RMA handling across UK, EU, US and MEA. Before issuing the PO, identify the required condition and destination region.
Endpoint power allocations above 67W
The shared PoE allocation stops at 67W. C1200-8FP-2G provides 120W across eight powered ports, but changes to an internal AC power supply.
10G uplinks to distribution
The fixed combo uplinks operate at 1G. C1200-24P-4X supplies four 10G SFP+ uplinks instead, with 24 PoE+ access ports in a full-width rack chassis.

C1200-8P-E-2G identifies a Catalyst 1200 switch with eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports, external power and two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. C1200 identifies the series, 8 identifies the access-port count, P identifies powered ports, E identifies external power and 2G identifies the two Gigabit uplinks.
C1200-8P-E-2G supports an HTTP/HTTPS web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 and USB-C console access, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard and Cisco Business mobile app. Optional Bluetooth access also supports browser and CLI sessions.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 1200. The series remains available to order. End-of-sale milestones affecting its discontinued CBS250 predecessors do not constitute an end-of-sale announcement for the Catalyst 1200 replacement models.
C1200-8P-E-2G is offered New sealed or Certified refurbished. Cisco provides a limited lifetime hardware warranty. ORM's new-unit warranty is up to 3-year extended; certified refurbished units receive up to 1 year. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply.
C1200-8P-E-2G replaces CBS250-8P-E-2G-AR, CBS250-8P-E-2G-AU, CBS250-8P-E-2G-EU, CBS250-8P-E-2G-TW, CBS250-8P-E-2G-JP, CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA, CBS250-8P-E-2G-SP, CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK and CBS250-8P-E-2G-BR, whose end-of-sale date was October 29, 2024. CBS250-8P-E-2G-IN ended sales January 31, 2025. Those predecessor dates do not discontinue the replacement.
67W is the shared PoE budget of C1200-8P-E-2G, with 30W maximum per powered Gigabit port. Eight ports cannot each draw their individual maximum simultaneously. Sum endpoint allocations before ordering; the aggregate allocation must remain within the switch's available power budget.
The eight-port Gigabit PoE+ switch has two combo uplinks, each supporting either its copper connector or its SFP slot at 1G. One interface per combo port is active at a time. Copper and fiber can therefore be selected independently across the two uplinks.
C1200-8P-E-2G powers endpoints through eight PoE+ access ports; C1200-8T-E-2G provides eight data-only access ports. Both retain two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. Choose the powered model for Ethernet-powered devices and the data-only model when the connected endpoints have independent power supplies.
C1200-8P-E-2G uses an external AC adapter, while C1200-8FP-2G has an internal AC power supply. This changes how mains power reaches the chassis. Select the adapter-powered model when an external adapter is acceptable, or the internal-supply model when power conversion must remain inside the switch.
C1200-16P-2G has 16 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, compared with eight on C1200-8P-E-2G. The additional access-port density changes how many endpoints each switch can terminate. Specify the eight-port model for smaller connection schedules and the 16-port model when more dedicated endpoint connections belong on one chassis.
