Fanless Powered Access for Small Business Networks

CBS250-16P-2G-UK is a fanless, Layer 2+ smart managed desktop switch with 16 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The Cisco Business 250 family serves small-business networks connecting computers, IP phones, wireless access points, and servers. Dedicated uplinks leave the copper connections available for endpoints, while the narrow enclosure accommodates desktop placement. Compared with the discontinued CBS250-16T-2G-UK, this version adds endpoint power instead of providing data-only copper access. The Cisco Business portfolio combines configurable switching with local administration rather than unmanaged operation. Its fixed uplink architecture has no removable uplink-card bay.

Technical Details

36 Gbps switching capacity supports simultaneous traffic across the built-in interfaces without internal oversubscription. 26.78 Mpps forwarding at 64-byte packet size defines packet-processing performance for small-frame workloads. 120W of shared PoE output must be allocated across connected endpoints rather than treated as an allowance available independently on every port. Static IPv4 routing handles local subnet communication within a ceiling of 32 routes. CBS250-16P-2G-UK carries 512 MB DRAM and 256 MB flash for control software and stored images. A dynamically shared 1.5 MB packet buffer accommodates bursts across the interfaces rather than reserving the entire buffer for one connection. STP/RSTP/MSTP control bridged paths, while LACP groups parallel Ethernet links. Browser-based administration, CLI access over SSH or Telnet, and SNMP provide configuration and monitoring options. 156.4W worst-case consumption including PoE provides an input-power sizing figure beyond the endpoint allocation alone. Hardware stacking is not supported.

Ordering

ORM Systems supplies CBS250-16P-2G-UK new sealed or certified refurbished, with refurbished units inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, and PSU status. Refurbished units also have firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. Specify condition and quantities on the purchase order: ORM warranty options are up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock/RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA support enterprise and volume purchasing.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

No switch subscription required

CBS250-16P-2G-UK requires no switch software license or subscription for operation. Features are included with the hardware purchase, so a minimum-term software subscription is not required on the purchase order.

Software support has ended

Security-sensitive purchases must account for ended software remedies: CBS250-16P-2G-UK reached the end of software maintenance and vulnerability/security support on October 29, 2025. Eligible hardware support ends October 31, 2029.

Match uplink optics separately

Fiber uplink orders need matching transceivers at both ends: MGBSX1 supports multimode fiber to 500 m, while MGBLX1 supports single-mode fiber to 10 km.

Best For

Multi-Site Administration

When several small offices need the same administration workflow, the embedded Cisco Business Dashboard probe removes the need for a separate probe appliance or virtual machine at each site. Define Dashboard connectivity and the configuration handover process before placing the multi-site order.

Branch Gateway Refresh

When a branch refresh brings local subnet gateways onto the switch, the limit of 16 IP interfaces becomes an address-planning constraint. Map the required VLAN interfaces and any other routed interfaces first, then confirm that the complete interface plan fits before the purchase order.

Replacement Unit Staging

When replacement units are staged for packet capture before a maintenance window, port mirroring accepts four source ports and one destination port. Reserve the analyzer connection separately from the traffic under test, and specify the capture-port allocation before ordering the staging equipment.

Not Suitable If

10G uplinks to distribution

Fixed 1G SFP uplinks cannot provide 10G connections. C1200-24P-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks, but also increases copper access density to 24 ports.

Simultaneous 30W draw on every port

The shared 120W allocation cannot supply 16 ports at 30W simultaneously; that requirement totals 480W. Aggregate endpoint demand must remain within the available budget.

Questions & Answers

What does the CBS250-16P-2G-UK part number mean?

CBS250-16P-2G-UK combines the CBS250 smart-switch family, 16 copper ports, P for PoE+, 2G for two Gigabit SFP uplinks, and UK regional ordering. The UK suffix covers the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia rather than identifying a software license.

What management options does CBS250-16P-2G-UK support?

CBS250-16P-2G-UK supports browser-based HTTP/HTTPS management, CLI access over SSH or Telnet, Cisco Business Dashboard, the Cisco Business mobile app, and SNMP. Dashboard integration uses an embedded probe, while direct browser or CLI access allows local administration without deploying a separate Dashboard server.

Does CBS250-16P-2G-UK require a software license or subscription?

No, CBS250-16P-2G-UK requires no switch software license or subscription, and its features are included with the hardware purchase. There is no separate feature-tier upgrade or minimum subscription term required for switch operation; this applies to both new sealed and certified refurbished ORM orders.

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

CBS250-16P-2G-UK provides a shared 120W PoE budget across 16 powered ports, with a maximum of 30W on an individual port. The shared allocation does not support maximum output on every port simultaneously, so the endpoint schedule must account for aggregate power demand.

Which uplinks and optics can CBS250-16P-2G-UK use?

CBS250-16P-2G-UK has two dedicated 1G SFP uplinks rather than 10G SFP+ connections. MGBSX1 supports multimode fiber, while MGBLX1 supports single-mode fiber. Select matching transceivers for the required fiber type and distance, and verify the connection at the opposite end before ordering the optics.

Can Business 250 switches route between VLANs?

Yes, Business 250 switches support static IPv4 routing between VLANs, with a maximum of 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. The routing function uses a manually maintained route plan rather than a dynamic routing protocol suite, so size the required gateways and destinations before ordering.

Is CBS250-16P-2G-UK a full-width rack-mount switch?

No, CBS250-16P-2G-UK has a 268 mm-wide desktop chassis rather than a full-width enclosure. The switch measures 297 mm deep and 44 mm high and weighs 2.38 kg. A mounting kit is included for rack installation; account for the enclosure depth and cable clearance when planning placement.

Is CBS250-16P-2G-UK end of sale?

Yes, CBS250-16P-2G-UK reached end of sale on October 29, 2024. Software maintenance and vulnerability/security support ended on October 29, 2025, while eligible hardware support ends October 31, 2029. C1200-16P-2G is the current replacement; hardware support does not extend the older model's software-maintenance period.

What condition and warranty options does ORM offer for CBS250-16P-2G-UK?

ORM Systems supplies CBS250-16P-2G-UK new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Every condition includes 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's separate limited lifetime warranty remains subject to eligibility and ends no later than October 31, 2029.

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

CBS250-16P-2G-UK supplies PoE+ through its copper access ports, whereas CBS250-16T-2G-UK provides data-only connections. Both models are discontinued. The powered version suits like-for-like replacement of switches feeding phones or access points; the data-only version suits existing installations where endpoints receive power independently of the switch.

What is the difference between CBS250-16P-2G-UK and CBS250-8FP-E-2G-UK?

CBS250-16P-2G-UK uses an internal AC supply, whereas CBS250-8FP-E-2G-UK uses an external power adapter. Both models are discontinued. The internal-supply version suits replacement orders retaining 16 copper access connections; the external-adapter version suits existing eight-port installations where the separate power adapter must also be accommodated.

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

C1200-16P-2G carries 1 GB DRAM, compared with 512 MB in CBS250-16P-2G-UK. C1200-16P-2G is the current replacement for the discontinued Business 250 model. The older switch suits like-for-like installed-base sparing; the Catalyst successor suits new standardization where the purchase order should follow the current product line.

Can Business 250 switches form a hardware stack?

No, Business 250 switches do not form a hardware stack, and centralized Dashboard administration does not create a shared forwarding system. Each switch remains an independent device. Use normal Ethernet connections between switches, and specify separate devices in the management plan rather than ordering stacking adapters or stacking cables.
