C1300-16P-2G combines fanless operation with sixteen 10/100/1000 PoE+ access ports and two fixed Gigabit SFP uplinks in a compact desktop chassis. The managed Catalyst 1300 switch connects small-business and branch-office endpoints such as IP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras, and employee computers. Its Layer 2+ capabilities cover access switching with static and RIP-based routing rather than OSPF. The uplinks are dedicated SFP interfaces, not copper/SFP combo connections or an expansion-module bay. An internal AC supply keeps the power input inside the chassis. C1300-16FP-2G is the nearest higher-power sibling, increasing the shared endpoint-power allowance to 240W. Voice VLAN assigns phone traffic to a voice-specific VLAN and applies traffic prioritization alongside other connected office devices.
C1300-16P-2G price for new stock is $729.75, a 37.1% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,161.00. C1300-16P-2G refurb price is $519.75. C1300-16P-2G is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

36 Gbps switching capacity accommodates wire-speed, nonblocking switching across the fixed interfaces. 26.78 Mpps forwarding handles 64-byte packets, providing a separate packet-rate measure for small-frame traffic. 120W of shared PoE power supplies connected endpoints, with a 30W ceiling per powered port rather than simultaneous maximum output across every port. The total IPv4 route allowance is 990 dynamic and static entries, with 128 IP interfaces for local routed segments. C1300-16P-2G carries 1 GB of DRAM, 1 GB of flash, and a dynamically shared 1.5 MB packet buffer. STP/RSTP/MSTP supports spanning-tree control, while LACP forms aggregated connections. PBR directs selected IPv4 or IPv6 traffic according to access-control rules. Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series management includes a browser utility and scriptable CLI; SNMP supports remote monitoring. DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection validate addressing information at the access edge. Hardware stacking is not supported. 152.7W maximum consumption, including PoE at 110V AC, guides upstream power sizing.
ORM Systems supplies C1300-16P-2G new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition, and PoE output under load on every powered port, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. New orders carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty and certified refurbished orders up to 1 year, with 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Specify the condition and quantity on the purchase order. POs are accepted, government buyers can use Net-30, and RMA includes advance replacement across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Replaces | C1000-16P-2G-L / C1000-16P-E-2G-L; end-of-sale April 30, 2025 |
When replacing discontinued C1000-16P-2G-L or C1000-16P-E-2G-L equipment, C1300-16P-2G is the replacement for both models. Their end-of-sale date was April 30, 2025. Review the existing configuration against the replacement's management and routing requirements, then specify the replacement PID, condition, and migration validation work before the PO.
When a branch order needs the desktop chassis mounted in an equipment rack, RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= is the compatible bracket accessory. The base package does not include those rack brackets. Confirm the mounting method and add RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= to the purchase order before allocating rack space or scheduling installation.
When preparing firmware changes before a batch deployment, C1300-16P-2G supports dual software images and image transfer through a browser, TFTP, or SCP over SSH. A staging plan can separate image loading from final configuration checks. Specify the intended image and verify the planned configuration before releasing the staged units for installation.
10G uplinks to distribution
C1300-16P-2G has Gigabit SFP uplinks and cannot provide a 10G link. C1300-16P-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks while retaining sixteen Gigabit access ports.
OSPF dynamic routing
C1300-16P-2G supports static routing and RIP v2, not OSPF. Catalyst 1300X adds OSPF v2/v3; C1300X-24P-4X also increases the access-port count to twenty-four.
PoE demand above 120W
C1300-16P-2G shares 120W across its powered ports. C1300-16FP-2G raises that budget to 240W, but simultaneous endpoint demand must still fit the shared allowance.
Hardware stack membership
C1300-16P-2G does not support hardware stacking. C1300-16P-4X supports Front Panel Stacking with eight members, but stack partners must belong to the same supported stacking family.

C1300-16P-2G identifies a Catalyst 1300 switch with sixteen Gigabit PoE+ access ports and two Gigabit SFP uplinks. C1300 names the family, 16 names the access-port count, P indicates powered PoE+ ports, and 2G identifies the uplink configuration. No license-tier suffix is present.
C1300-16P-2G supports a web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, Cisco Business Dashboard, the Cisco Business mobile app, and SNMP management. Local access uses RJ-45 or USB-C console ports. An external USB Bluetooth dongle also enables browser and CLI access from a laptop or tablet.
C1300-16P-2G provides a shared 120W PoE budget across sixteen powered access ports, each supporting 30W PoE+. Aggregate endpoint demand must remain within that shared allowance, so all ports cannot supply their individual maximum simultaneously. Confirm the connected devices' requested power before finalizing the switch quantity.
C1300-16P-2G accepts Gigabit SFP transceivers, including GLC-SX-MMD for multimode fiber and GLC-LH-SMD for single-mode fiber. GLC-SX-MMD supports links to 550 m, while GLC-LH-SMD supports 10 km. Order the selected optics separately and match the installed fiber and far-end transceiver before deployment.
No, C1300-16P-2G does not support hardware stacking or membership in an eight-switch Front Panel Stacking system. Centralized administration through Cisco Business Dashboard is separate from physical stacking. Treat each unit as a standalone switch when specifying uplink connectivity and operational management for an order.
C1300-16P-2G provides static IPv4 routing, RIP v2, and PBR, with a total allowance of 990 IPv4 routes and 128 IP interfaces. OSPF is not supported on this model. Size the local routing design against those limits rather than applying capabilities from Catalyst 1300X.
The 16-port Catalyst 1300 switch can be rack mounted using RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K=, although C1300-16P-2G has a desktop chassis measuring 268 mm wide, 297 mm deep, and 43.94 mm high. Rack brackets are not included with this model, so add RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= when specifying a rack installation.
No, C1300-16P-2G requires no separate switch feature license or mandatory software subscription, so there is no network-tier selection or minimum subscription term to add to the hardware order. Its included switching features do not require a term-based upgrade. Specify hardware condition and accessories independently.
C1300-16P-2G replaces the discontinued C1000-16P-2G-L and C1000-16P-E-2G-L switches, whose end-of-sale date was April 30, 2025. The replacement consolidates these migration choices into one ordering PID. Review configuration migration, mounting requirements, and endpoint power demand before treating an older order's accessory list as interchangeable.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 1300. C1300-16P-2G remains available as a current switch. C1300-16P-2G-RF identifies Cisco-remanufactured hardware; that condition is distinct from ORM's certified refurbished units and should be specified separately when identifying the required condition on a purchase order.
ORM offers C1300-16P-2G new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's separate limited lifetime warranty provides return-to-factory replacement. Refurbished units are inspected, bench-tested, firmware verified, and wiped to factory default.
C1300-16FP-2G supplies a 240W PoE budget where C1300-16P-2G supplies 120W; both provide sixteen Gigabit PoE+ access ports and two Gigabit SFP uplinks. The higher-budget model suits larger aggregate endpoint loads, while C1300-16P-2G suits orders whose simultaneous powered-device demand fits the smaller shared allowance.
C1300-8P-E-2G uses an external AC adapter, while C1300-16P-2G uses an internal AC supply. The external-adapter model also has eight access ports rather than sixteen. Choose C1300-8P-E-2G for a smaller externally powered installation and C1300-16P-2G when the order calls for an integrated supply and more access connections.
C1300-16P-4X has four 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas C1300-16P-2G has two Gigabit SFP uplinks. Both retain sixteen Gigabit PoE+ access ports and a 120W budget. The 4X model fits orders requiring 10G upstream connections; the 2G model fits installations retaining Gigabit fiber uplinks.
No, C1300-16P-2G uses an internal universal AC supply accepting 100-240V AC at 50-60 Hz. The complete switch's maximum consumption, including PoE, is 152.7W at 110V AC. Size the site's upstream power provision using total switch draw rather than only the endpoint PoE allowance.
