C1300-8MGP-2X is a fanless, managed desktop switch combining four Gigabit Ethernet access ports with four 2.5G Multigigabit Ethernet access ports. All eight copper ports support PoE+, while two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks connect the access network to upstream equipment. The mixed-speed configuration accommodates multigigabit wireless access points alongside Gigabit phones, cameras and computers without requiring every endpoint connection to use the same speed. Cisco Catalyst 1300 switching targets small-business networks and branch offices. Static routing and RIP v2 place this configuration in the Layer 2+ category; an enterprise software-tier suffix is not part of its identity. The nearest lower-power sibling, C1300-8P-E-2G, provides a 67W shared PoE budget rather than the higher endpoint-power allocation available here.
C1300-8MGP-2X price for new stock is $924.00, a 31.9% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,357.06. C1300-8MGP-2X refurb price is $1,158.47. C1300-8MGP-2X is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

68 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching fabric for the mixed-speed port configuration. 50.6 Mpps forwarding handles minimum-size packets, separating packet-processing capacity from aggregate bandwidth. 120W of shared PoE power requires endpoint allocations to remain within the switch-wide limit. Static routing, RIP v2 and PBR support local traffic forwarding and next-hop selection; OSPF is not supported on this model. C1300-8MGP-2X uses 1 GB of DRAM and 1 GB of flash for operation and image storage, with a 1.5 MB packet buffer shared across its ports. STP, RSTP and MSTP provide spanning-tree options, while LACP supports aggregated connections. DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard provide controls for endpoint addressing and admission. Administrators can retain dual firmware images when planning upgrades, and scheduled PoE operation allows endpoint power to follow configured operating periods. Persistent PoE maintains power to connected devices during a switch reboot.
C1300-8MGP-2X is offered 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, PoE output under load on every powered port and optics bay recognition, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, quantities, regional power cord and required accessories on the purchase order. ORM's new warranty is up to 3-year extended, certified refurbished is up to 1 year, and every condition includes 30-day returns; terms apply. PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement support enterprise and volume procurement, with regional stock and RMA coverage across UK, EU, US and MEA.

When replacing a discontinued CBS350-8MGP-2X-NA, account for the older switch's two 2.5G access ports and 10G combo uplink arrangement rather than treating the replacement as an identical chassis. Inventory existing endpoint assignments, uplink media and configuration dependencies before specifying the migration accessories and staging requirements on the purchase order.
When a branch purchase requires installation in an equipment rack, include RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= in the accessory review. The compact mounting brackets are not included with this eight-port model. Confirm the intended mounting location and accessory quantities before issuing a multi-site purchase order, rather than assuming each carton contains rack brackets.
When purchasing equipment for packet analysis or configuration staging, port mirroring can send traffic from eight source ports to one destination port. Reserve the analyzer connection in the test plan and identify the required copper connections before ordering, so the laboratory setup does not consume an endpoint connection unexpectedly.
5G copper connections for endpoints
C1300-8MGP-2X stops at 2.5G on its fastest copper access ports. C1300X-10NU-2X provides ten 5G access ports, changing both the speed class and port count.
60W power for individual endpoints
C1300-8MGP-2X supports 30W PoE+ per access port, not 60W PoE++. C1300X-10NU-2X supports 60W PoE++ across ten access ports, subject to its shared power budget.
OSPF routing at the access edge
C1300-8MGP-2X supports static routing and RIP v2 but not OSPF. Catalyst 1300X supports OSPF v2 and v3; select the required port configuration separately.

C1300-8MGP-2X identifies a Catalyst 1300 switch with eight mixed-speed PoE+ access ports and two 10G SFP+ uplinks. C1300 identifies the series, 8 identifies the access-port count, MGP identifies the multigigabit PoE configuration, and 2X identifies the two 10G uplinks. The access ports split evenly between Gigabit and 2.5G.
C1300-8MGP-2X supports a browser-based web interface, CLI access through console connections or SSH and Telnet, Cisco Business Dashboard, the Cisco Business mobile app and SNMP. Select the management method during staging. Dashboard management can use the embedded probe or direct management rather than requiring a separate onsite probe appliance.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 1300. C1300-8MGP-2X remains an available model rather than a discontinued migration target. Cisco also offers C1300-8MGP-2X-RF as a Cisco remanufactured ordering identity; that condition is separate from ORM Systems certified refurbishment and should not be treated as the same offering.
ORM Systems offers C1300-8MGP-2X new sealed or certified refurbished. Cisco provides a limited lifetime return-to-factory hardware warranty. ORM's new warranty is up to 3-year extended; certified refurbished is up to 1 year. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Refurbished managed units are bench-tested, firmware verified and wiped to factory default.
No, C1300-8MGP-2X requires no separately purchased software license or mandatory software subscription. Catalyst 1300 software updates are available without purchasing a license or service contract. There is no subscription tier or minimum software term to add to an ORM hardware order, whether new sealed or certified refurbished.
C1300-8MGP-2X replaces discontinued CBS350-8MGP-2X-AR, CBS350-8MGP-2X-AU, CBS350-8MGP-2X-BR, CBS350-8MGP-2X-EU, CBS350-8MGP-2X-JP, CBS350-8MGP-2X-NA, CBS350-8MGP-2X-SP and CBS350-8MGP-2X-UK, which reached end of sale on October 29, 2024. CBS350-8MGP-2X-IN reached end of sale on January 31, 2025. Replacement projects must account for changed access-port speeds and uplink media rather than transferring the old configuration unchanged.
C1300-8MGP-2X provides a shared 120W PoE budget across eight PoE+ access ports, with 30W supported per port. The shared budget is below eight simultaneous 30W allocations. Add the requirements of all powered endpoints before ordering, and distinguish the switch-wide budget from the maximum available on an individual port.
Yes, C1300-8MGP-2X supports Front Panel Stacking with eight members and belongs to C1300 Family 1. Only members of the same stacking family can be combined. C1300 Family 2 and C1300X cannot join that stack, so verify existing member identities and reserve the intended front-panel interconnects before purchasing expansion equipment.
C1300-8MGP-2X supports static routing, RIP v2 and PBR, but not OSPF. Its IPv4 routing capacity is 990 routes, and routing interfaces can use physical ports, link aggregation groups or VLAN interfaces. Confirm that the intended branch routing design uses supported protocols rather than assuming enterprise dynamic-routing capabilities from the Catalyst name.
Yes, C1300-8MGP-2X can be rack mounted using RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K=, although its 268 mm-wide chassis is a desktop form factor. The eight-port model does not include the compact 19-inch brackets. Specify RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= separately when rack installation is required, and verify mounting accessories rather than assuming they accompany every switch.
C1300-8MGP-2X supports SFP-10G-SR for multimode fiber and SFP-10G-LR for single-mode fiber in its fixed SFP+ uplinks. SFP-10G-SR supports distances dependent on the fiber type; SFP-10G-LR supports 10 km. Match the selected transceiver to the installed fiber and remote endpoint, and include the required optics in the accessory order.
C1300-8MGP-2X uses an internal universal AC power supply accepting 100-240V AC at 50-60 Hz. Its worst-case consumption including PoE is 145.1W at 110V. Size the electrical allocation for powered operation, and confirm the regional power cord selection rather than ordering an external power adapter for this model.
C1300-8MGP-2X provides a 120W shared PoE budget, while C1300-8P-E-2G provides 67W across its eight PoE+ access ports. Both require endpoint demand to remain within the shared allocation. C1300-8P-E-2G suits lower aggregate powered loads; C1300-8MGP-2X suits buyers needing the larger allocation, after checking endpoint power requirements.
C1300-8MGP-2X uses an internal AC power supply, whereas C1300-8T-E-2G uses an external AC adapter and has non-PoE access ports. The power arrangements change what must be included and checked during procurement. C1300-8T-E-2G suits externally powered, non-PoE purchases; C1300-8MGP-2X suits purchases requiring internal AC input and powered endpoint connections.
C1300-8MGP-2X has two dedicated 10G SFP+ uplinks, while C1300-8FP-2G has two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. Each combo uplink uses either its copper connection or its fiber connection, not both simultaneously. C1300-8FP-2G suits Gigabit uplink requirements; C1300-8MGP-2X suits buyers specifying dedicated 10G fiber-facing uplink connections.
