Fanless Access Networking for Offices and Retail

CBS250-16P-2G-NA is a fanless, Layer 2+ smart-managed desktop switch with 16 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports and two dedicated Gigabit SFP uplinks. The fixed uplink architecture connects to fiber infrastructure without a removable network card, while powered copper connections serve compatible IP phones, wireless access points and surveillance cameras. Cisco Business 250 combines small-business switching with local traffic segmentation and administration rather than enterprise chassis expansion. Its narrow enclosure supports desktop placement, and the included mounting kit also permits rack installation. The discontinued CBS250-16T-2G-NA provides the nearest non-PoE configuration for connections that do not require switch-supplied power. This model retains separate fiber uplinks, so connecting the upstream network does not consume a copper access connection.

CBS250-16P-2G-NA price for new stock is $605.85. CBS250-16P-2G-NA refurb price is $314.99. CBS250-16P-2G-NA is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

36 Gbps switching capacity supports nonblocking traffic handling, and 26.78 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte packets. 32 IPv4 static routes and 16 IP interfaces accommodate limited inter-VLAN routing; dynamic routing is not part of the feature set. 156.4W maximum consumption, including PoE delivery, provides the AC power-planning figure rather than the endpoint power allowance alone. CBS250-16P-2G-NA carries 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for switch operation and image storage. A shared 1.5 MB packet buffer absorbs traffic bursts across the interfaces. STP/RSTP/MSTP provide loop-control options, while LACP supports four aggregation groups with eight active ports per group. Administrative access can use RADIUS authentication, and access control supports 512 rules for traffic filtering. The Cisco Business management interface includes full and menu-based CLI operation. Hardware stacking is not supported, so additional switches remain independent forwarding devices rather than members of a shared stack.

Ordering

Specify CBS250-16P-2G-NA as new sealed or certified refurbished, with condition and quantity on the PO. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, clean boot, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition and PSU status; every powered port is load-tested, firmware is verified and configuration is wiped to factory default. ORM warranty is 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. For enterprise and volume orders, PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement are available, with regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Security maintenance has ended

CBS250-16P-2G-NA requires a security-lifecycle decision before purchase: software maintenance and vulnerability/security support ended October 29, 2025. Remaining eligible hardware support ends October 31, 2029; C1200-16P-2G is the migration model.

Allocate endpoint power individually

CBS250-16P-2G-NA needs endpoint-level power allocation: 16 × 30W equals 480W, versus the shared 120W budget. Specify each device's maximum draw rather than assuming every powered port can deliver its individual maximum simultaneously.

Specify fiber transceivers separately

Fiber uplinks need separately selected transceivers: MGBSX1 supports multimode fiber and MGBLX1 supports single-mode fiber. Specify the matching transceiver and fiber type on the purchase order alongside the switch.

Best For

Multi-Site Configuration Standardization

When several locations need repeatable configurations, text-editable configuration files and Cisco Network Plug and Play support a common provisioning process. The embedded Cisco Business Dashboard probe avoids a separate on-site probe appliance or virtual machine. Before the PO, specify the management approach, configuration ownership and site-by-site quantities.

Lab and Staging Validation

When a staging bench must reproduce traffic problems before equipment is dispatched, port mirroring can send traffic from four source ports to one analyzer connection. Dual firmware images support image-change preparation. Specify the capture connections, approved image and configuration acceptance checks before ordering the staging quantity.

Not Suitable If

10G uplinks to distribution

The fixed uplinks operate at 1G, not 10G. C1200-24P-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks, but also changes the copper access-port count from 16 to 24.

Continued security software maintenance

Vulnerability/security support ended October 29, 2025, before the remaining hardware-support deadline. C1200-16P-2G is the current migration model for purchases requiring a replacement rather than legacy continuity.

Questions & Answers

What does each part of CBS250-16P-2G-NA mean?

CBS250-16P-2G-NA identifies a Cisco Business 250 switch: 16P means 16 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, and 2G means two Gigabit SFP uplinks. NA is the regional suffix for the USA, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and the rest of Latin America; the suffix identifies the ordering region rather than a software tier.

How is CBS250-16P-2G-NA managed?

CBS250-16P-2G-NA supports an HTTP/HTTPS web interface, full or menu-based CLI through its RJ-45 console or SSH/Telnet, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard and the Cisco Business mobile app. Browser access handles local configuration, while dashboard administration uses an embedded probe running on the switch rather than a separate on-site probe appliance.

Is CBS250-16P-2G-NA discontinued?

Yes, CBS250-16P-2G-NA reached end of sale on October 29, 2024, with eligible hardware support ending October 31, 2029. Software maintenance and vulnerability/security support ended October 29, 2025. Those earlier software milestones matter independently of the remaining hardware-support period when approving a purchase for continued deployment.

What condition and warranty does ORM Systems offer for CBS250-16P-2G-NA?

ORM Systems offers CBS250-16P-2G-NA new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's separate limited lifetime hardware warranty is bounded by October 31, 2029, subject to eligibility.

How much PoE power does CBS250-16P-2G-NA provide?

CBS250-16P-2G-NA provides a shared 120W PoE budget across 16 powered access ports, with a 30W maximum on an individual port. The per-port maximum is not available simultaneously across every connection. Size the endpoint allocation against the shared budget, including each device's required power rather than port count alone.

Which fiber transceivers can CBS250-16P-2G-NA use?

CBS250-16P-2G-NA supports Gigabit fiber transceivers including MGBSX1 for multimode links and MGBLX1 for single-mode links. MGBSX1 supports distances to 500 m, while MGBLX1 supports distances to 10 km. Select the transceiver against the installed fiber and required distance; the fixed SFP uplinks do not provide 10G operation.

Can CBS250-16P-2G-NA route between VLANs?

Yes, CBS250-16P-2G-NA supports IPv4 static routing with 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces, allowing local communication between configured VLANs. Its routing capability fits the Layer 2+ classification rather than dynamic routed access. Confirm the required interface and route counts before assigning inter-VLAN routing to the switch.

Can the 16-port Gigabit PoE+ switch be rack mounted?

Yes, the 16-port Gigabit PoE+ switch supports rack installation using the included mounting kit, although its enclosure is desktop-sized rather than full-width. The chassis measures 268 mm wide, 297 mm deep and 44 mm high. Confirm mounting-kit inclusion and cabinet clearance when specifying the supplied configuration.

Can Cisco Business 250 switches form a hardware stack?

No, Cisco Business 250 switches do not support hardware stacking and remain standalone forwarding devices. Cisco Business Dashboard can centralize their administration, but that management relationship does not create a shared hardware stack. Specify the required standalone switch quantities and interswitch connections rather than planning a stack expansion.

What is the difference between CBS250-16P-2G-NA and CBS250-16T-2G-NA?

CBS250-16P-2G-NA supplies PoE+ on its copper access ports, whereas CBS250-16T-2G-NA does not supply endpoint power. Both models are discontinued and retain 16 Gigabit access connections. The powered model suits legacy installations with compatible phones or access points; the non-PoE model suits endpoints using their own power sources.

What is the difference between CBS250-16P-2G-NA and CBS250-24P-4G-NA?

CBS250-16P-2G-NA provides 16 copper access ports, whereas CBS250-24P-4G-NA provides 24. Both are Gigabit PoE+ models, but the density difference changes how many copper endpoints each chassis can terminate. Both are discontinued; the 16-port model matches smaller existing installations, while the 24-port version addresses denser legacy layouts.

What is the difference between CBS250-16P-2G-NA and C1200-16P-2G?

C1200-16P-2G is the current migration model for discontinued CBS250-16P-2G-NA. Both identities describe 16-port Gigabit PoE access switches with two Gigabit SFP uplinks, so migration preserves that connection layout. The discontinued model suits like-for-like legacy sparing; the replacement model suits purchases moving away from the ended Business 250 sales lifecycle.
