C1300-8P-E-2G is a fanless, managed Layer 2+ desktop switch with eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports and two fixed Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. External AC power places the adapter outside the chassis. The Catalyst 1300 series serves small-business networks and enterprise branches, including connections for IP phones, wireless access points and surveillance endpoints. Each combo uplink offers a copper connector and a fiber cage, with one medium active per connection. Unlike C1300-8T-E-2G, this configuration supplies endpoint power rather than providing data-only access ports. The fixed uplink architecture has no removable network-module bay, so uplink speed must be selected with the hardware rather than added through a later uplink-card purchase.
C1300-8P-E-2G price for new stock is $488.25, a 22.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $627.75. C1300-8P-E-2G refurb price is $624.75. C1300-8P-E-2G is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity supports nonblocking traffic handling across the access and uplink connections. 14.88 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte packets, making packet size important when comparing forwarding figures. 67W of shared PoE capacity limits combined endpoint allocation despite the 30W capability of each powered port. Static routing, RIP v2 and PBR provide local route selection; OSPF is unavailable. C1300-8P-E-2G supports 990 total IPv4 routes and 128 IP interfaces for sizing routed configurations. A 1.5 MB packet buffer is dynamically shared across ports rather than assigned in full to each connection. The system pairs 1 GB DRAM with 1 GB flash for operation and image storage. Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series Switches run customized Linux OS software. Browser management, SSH or Telnet CLI access, console access and SNMP provide local and remote administration, while STP/RSTP/MSTP and LACP support loop control and link aggregation.
Order C1300-8P-E-2G in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and specify condition, quantity and destination on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, every port linking at rated speed, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition and supplied adapter output; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM provides an up to 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. For enterprise and volume orders, PO is accepted, government Net-30 is available, and RMA includes advance replacement across UK, EU, US and MEA.

C1300-8P-E-2G sits at the access edge and terminates copper runs from IP phones, cameras, access points, printers, and workstations on 8 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. Network teams assign endpoint VLANs, QoS markings, 802.1X controls, and PoE limits at the port level, then reserve the two Gigabit copper/SFP combo ports for upstream handoff. The 67W PoE budget supports a measured set of powered devices without adding local injectors. The network gains a compact powered access point with controlled segmentation and predictable uplink placement.
C1300-8P-E-2G operates in a small branch rack between endpoint cabling and the local router or firewall. Engineers place voice, camera, wireless, and user traffic into separate VLANs, apply access controls on the RJ-45 ports, and use Layer 3 traffic management functions for local segmentation where the branch design requires it. The two 1G combo uplinks connect to copper or fiber upstream media without changing the access cabling. The result is a branch edge that separates endpoint domains before traffic reaches the WAN boundary.
The switch occupies a compact access position and presents aggregated endpoint traffic to a distribution switch through its two Gigabit RJ-45/SFP combo uplinks. Engineers match the uplink media to the fiber or copper plant, configure trunks or link aggregation where the upstream design supports it, and keep the 8 PoE+ access ports dedicated to local powered endpoints. C1300-8P-E-2G keeps endpoint power and uplink selection in one small rack-mountable unit. The distribution layer receives cleaner VLAN handoff from a defined eight-port access block.
Replacing C1000-8P-2G-L or C1000-8P-E-2G-L starts from discontinued models whose end-of-sale date was April 30, 2025. C1300-8P-E-2G is their named replacement. Before placing a refresh PO, reconcile the existing installation's connections and purchased accessories with the new unit rather than assuming every item transfers.
Standardizing configurations across locations calls for a repeatable staging workflow rather than a separate manual setup at every site. Text-editable configuration files and SCP file download support that workflow. Specify which configuration will be loaded and how each unit will be identified before the purchase order is released.
Installing a compact unit in a 19-inch equipment rack requires RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= rather than relying on the base mounting contents. The 8-port package does not include 19-inch mounting brackets. Add RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= to the rack installation PO and confirm the intended mounting arrangement before ordering.
10G uplinks to distribution
Fixed combo uplinks stop at 1G. C1300-8MGP-2X provides two 10G SFP+ uplinks, but also changes the access mix to four 2.5G ports and four Gigabit ports.
Hardware stacking across multiple switches
C1300-8P-E-2G cannot join a hardware stack. C1300-8MGP-2X supports Front Panel Stacking, but changes the access configuration to four 2.5G ports and four Gigabit ports.
OSPF dynamic routing at the edge
C1300-8P-E-2G supports static routing and RIP v2, not OSPF. Catalyst 1300X supports OSPF v2 and v3, with different port configurations from this compact model.

C1300-8P-E-2G identifies a Catalyst 1300 switch with eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports, external power and two Gigabit combo uplinks. C1300 identifies the family; 8P describes the powered access configuration; E denotes external power; 2G identifies the two copper/SFP combo connections.
C1300-8P-E-2G supports the web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 or USB-C console, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app and SNMP. Browser access supports HTTP/HTTPS. The embedded Dashboard probe removes the need for a separate probe appliance; Bluetooth access requires an external dongle.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 1300. C1300-8P-E-2G is also available as C1300-8P-E-2G-RF, a Cisco remanufactured PID. Cisco remanufactured hardware and ORM certified refurbished units are separate conditions and should not be treated as the same ordering designation.
C1300-8P-E-2G requires no separate software license purchase, and software updates are available at no additional charge. A new or ORM certified refurbished order does not require a switch software subscription line item. Specify the hardware condition and accessories rather than a switch subscription term.
ORM offers C1300-8P-E-2G new sealed or certified refurbished, with an up to 3-year extended warranty on new orders and up to 1 year on certified refurbished orders. Cisco's platform warranty is limited lifetime with return-to-factory replacement. ORM provides 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply.
67W is the shared PoE budget for C1300-8P-E-2G, with eight ports supporting 30W PoE+. The budget does not support maximum per-port output simultaneously across every powered port. Size the purchase against combined endpoint requirements rather than treating each powered port as an independent 30W allocation.
C1300-8P-E-2G has two fixed 1G copper/SFP combo uplinks, not 10G uplinks or removable uplink cards. Each combo connection uses either its RJ-45 connector or its SFP cage at one time. Fiber connections require separately ordered compatible optics, including MGBSX1 for multimode fiber or MGBLX1 for single-mode fiber.
Static routing, RIP v2 and PBR are available on C1300-8P-E-2G; OSPF is not. The switch supports 990 total IPv4 routes and 128 IP interfaces. Plan routed interfaces and the route inventory within those limits before staging the configuration or specifying the platform for routed access.
No, C1300-8P-E-2G does not support hardware stacking, so stacking cables or a stack kit do not create a stackable configuration. Cisco Business Dashboard can manage the unit, but centralized management does not make this switch a member of a hardware stack with a unified forwarding plane.
C1300-8P-E-2G replaces discontinued C1000-8P-2G-L and C1000-8P-E-2G-L, plus CBS350-8P-2G-AR, CBS350-8P-2G-AU, CBS350-8P-2G-BR, CBS350-8P-2G-EU, CBS350-8P-2G-IN, CBS350-8P-2G-JP, CBS350-8P-2G-NA, CBS350-8P-2G-SP, CBS350-8P-2G-UK, CBS350-8P-E-2G-AR, CBS350-8P-E-2G-AU, CBS350-8P-E-2G-BR, CBS350-8P-E-2G-CN, CBS350-8P-E-2G-EU, CBS350-8P-E-2G-IN, CBS350-8P-E-2G-JP, CBS350-8P-E-2G-NA, CBS350-8P-E-2G-SP and CBS350-8P-E-2G-UK. C1000 end of sale was April 30, 2025; CBS350 dates differ by regional PID.
C1300-8P-E-2G supplies PoE+ on its eight access ports, whereas C1300-8T-E-2G has non-PoE access ports. Both configurations retain two Gigabit copper/SFP combo connections. Choose the powered model when endpoint power belongs on the switch order; choose C1300-8T-E-2G when endpoint power is supplied separately.
C1300-8P-E-2G uses an external AC adapter, whereas C1300-8FP-2G uses an internal universal AC supply. The external-power model requires space for its adapter; the internal-power model places the supply inside the chassis. Specify C1300-8P-E-2G for an external-adapter arrangement or C1300-8FP-2G for internal AC power.
C1300-8P-E-2G has two 1G combo uplinks, whereas C1300-8MGP-2X has two 10G SFP+ uplinks. The latter also changes the access mix to four 2.5G ports and four Gigabit ports. Choose C1300-8P-E-2G for Gigabit uplink connections or C1300-8MGP-2X when the purchase requires 10G uplinks.
