C1300-16T-2G is a compact, fanless Cisco Catalyst 1300 managed switch for small-business access networks. Sixteen fixed 10/100/1000 copper interfaces connect computers, printers and other Ethernet endpoints, while two separate 1G SFP slots provide fiber uplink connections without consuming copper access capacity. The desktop-sized enclosure is suited to equipment shelves and compact communications spaces. This model does not supply PoE power, so phones, wireless access points and cameras needing network-delivered power require a separate source. The Cisco Catalyst 1300 family includes the C1300-16P-2G, which instead supplies PoE+ on its 16 copper access ports. For this non-PoE configuration, select SFP modules against the fiber type and receiving interfaces, and account for the intended number of wired endpoints when specifying a site rollout.
C1300-16T-2G price for new stock is $567.00, a 30.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $818.20. C1300-16T-2G refurb price is $414.75. C1300-16T-2G is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

36 Gbps switching capacity and 26.78 Mpps forwarding throughput define the local switching envelope for the C1300-16T-2G. The hardware provides 1 GB of DRAM, 1 GB of flash storage and a shared 1.5 MB packet buffer. Administrators can configure the managed platform rather than relying on an unmanaged forwarding-only installation. Its two fixed optical uplink cages run at Gigabit speed; they do not accept 10G SFP+ connections as 10G uplinks. Fanless cooling avoids a mechanical fan in the compact case, and the chassis operates at ambient temperatures from -5°C to 50°C under its published environmental limits. Power arrives through an internal universal AC supply. A published 912776-hour mean time between failures value applies at 25°C under the specified calculation conditions. Confirm operating requirements, management access, compatible optics and power cabling before commissioning, particularly when extending an older small-business wiring installation.
ORM Systems supplies C1300-16T-2G in new sealed and certified refurbished condition for individual orders and volume procurement. Refurbished managed switches are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, clean boot and port links at rated speed; their firmware is verified and configuration reset to factory default. Specify the required condition and confirm fiber optics and mounting accessories before sending a purchase order. New units are offered with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty and certified refurbished units with up to a 1-year ORM warranty; 30-day returns apply to both conditions under the stated terms. Purchase orders are accepted, with Net-30 terms for government orders, advance-replacement RMA handling and regional stock or RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When a branch office requires wired connectivity for workstations and printers, C1300-16T-2G supplies 16 Gigabit copper access ports with two dedicated SFP connections. Its non-PoE design means phones and access points requiring power need injectors or another power source. Confirm the count of powered endpoints before purchase.
When replacing older small-business Ethernet hardware, C1300-16T-2G combines 16 Gigabit Ethernet downlinks with two SFP uplinks. The separate optical slots keep copper access capacity available for endpoint connections. Verify transceiver compatibility and the existing fiber handoff before placing a purchase order for the replacement switch.
When an installation team stages network equipment before deployment, the fanless C1300-16T-2G offers a compact 268 mm-wide chassis and internal AC power. Test copper access links and both optical bays against the intended connections. Confirm mounting requirements, available cabinet space, and the power feed before committing to volume quantities.
Power delivery to endpoint devices
C1300-16T-2G does not provide PoE on its 16 copper ports. C1300-16P-2G has PoE+ access ports and a 120W shared power budget.
Ten gigabit fiber uplinks
C1300-16T-2G has two 1G SFP uplinks rather than 10G SFP+ ports. A deployment requiring 10G distribution links needs a different uplink configuration.
Full width rack hardware
The 268 mm-wide C1300-16T-2G is a compact desktop chassis rather than a full-width 19-inch rack switch. Check mounting hardware requirements separately.

C1300-16T-2G identifies a Cisco Catalyst 1300 managed switch with 16 Gigabit Ethernet access ports and two dedicated 1G SFP uplinks. The copper ports do not supply PoE. The configuration uses a compact, fanless chassis with an internal AC power supply for small-business wired networks.
C1300-16T-2G is a managed Cisco Catalyst 1300 switch. The family provides a web-based management interface and command-line configuration capabilities. Management access must be secured and configured for the customer's operating environment. An administrator should verify the intended management settings before the switch is placed into production.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 1300. C1300-16T-2G remains part of the Catalyst 1300 model range in the current product listing. Procurement teams should distinguish lifecycle information for this switch from notices covering the earlier Cisco Business 350 products that it replaces.
C1300-16T-2G carries Cisco's limited lifetime hardware warranty, subject to Cisco's terms. ORM Systems offers new sealed units with up to a 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished units with up to a 1-year warranty. Both conditions have 30-day returns, subject to terms.
No, C1300-16T-2G does not provide PoE power on any of its 16 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports. Devices needing power must use another power method. The separate C1300-16P-2G model provides 16 PoE+ ports with a shared 120W power budget for powered access deployments.
C1300-16T-2G has two dedicated 1G SFP uplink ports in addition to its 16 copper Gigabit Ethernet access interfaces. SFP optical modules are separate from the built-in cages. Verify transceiver support and the fiber plant before choosing optics for connections to aggregation or distribution equipment.
C1300-16T-2G has a compact chassis measuring 268 mm wide, 272 mm deep and 43.94 mm high. It is categorized here as a desktop switch because the chassis is narrower than a full-width 19-inch unit. Confirm compatible mounting accessories if it must be installed in a rack.
C1300-16T-2G provides 36 Gbps switching capacity and a 26.78 Mpps forwarding rate. Those values apply to this 16-port copper, two-uplink configuration. They describe the internal switching and forwarding limits rather than a promise of application performance across an entire network with external bottlenecks.
No, C1300-16T-2G has an internal universal AC power supply supporting 100–240V input. The published worst-case system consumption is 11.2W at 220V. The non-PoE configuration has no powered endpoint budget to size, although installation still requires a suitable AC feed and power cable.
C1300-16T-2G has 16 non-PoE Gigabit access ports while C1300-16P-2G adds PoE+ support with a shared 120W output budget. Both configurations have two 1G SFP uplinks. The non-PoE model fits externally powered endpoints; the PoE+ alternative is intended for devices drawing power from network cabling.
