Fanless Access Networking for Small Business Offices

CBS250-16T-2G-NA is a fanless, Smart Managed desktop switch for small-business access networks, with 16 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. Layer 2+ operation adds static routed access to LAN switching, while the non-PoE connections serve separately powered computers, printers, servers, and other Ethernet endpoints. The Business 250 series combines copper endpoint connectivity with fiber uplinks without a removable uplink module bay. The discontinued CBS250-16P-2G-NA differs by providing PoE+ for endpoint power. Dedicated fiber interfaces leave the copper connections available for local devices rather than consuming an access connection for an uplink. Port-based authentication, source MAC address locking, and broadcast storm control provide configurable access protection, while QoS prioritizes delay-sensitive traffic.

CBS250-16T-2G-NA price for new stock is $346.50. CBS250-16T-2G-NA refurb price is $269.85. CBS250-16T-2G-NA is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

36 Gbps switching capacity supports nonblocking forwarding, while 26.78 Mpps at 64-byte packets defines small-frame forwarding performance. Static IPv4 routing accommodates 32 routes and 16 IP interfaces for inter-VLAN communication. CBS250-16T-2G-NA provides 512 MB DRAM and 256 MB flash for software and configuration handling, backed by a 1.5 MB packet buffer shared across ports. An 8000-entry MAC table establishes the address-learning scale for connected devices. STP/RSTP/MSTP handle spanning-tree topologies, and LACP supports link aggregation; hardware stacking is not supported. Management on Cisco Business switches includes a web UI, CLI access through console, SSH or Telnet, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard, and the Cisco Business mobile app. The internal AC supply accepts 100-240V AC, while 18.63W worst-case consumption at 110V provides the maximum switch load to include when sizing a local power allowance.

Ordering

ORM Systems supplies CBS250-16T-2G-NA new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, optics bay recognition, and clean boot; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, regional power cord, mounting hardware, and transceivers on the PO; eligible Cisco Limited Lifetime coverage ends October 31, 2029. POs are accepted for enterprise and volume orders, with Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

No switch subscription required

CBS250-16T-2G-NA needs no separate switch-feature license or subscription because all switch functions are included with the hardware purchase. Leave switch-feature activation licenses and subscription renewals off the purchase order.

Software security support has ended

CBS250-16T-2G-NA ended sale on October 29, 2024, and software maintenance and security support ended October 29, 2025. Specify C1200-16T-2G when purchasing the current replacement rather than matching the discontinued model.

Order fiber transceivers separately

Fiber links require separately ordered transceivers: MGBSX1 for multimode fiber or MGBLX1 for single-mode fiber. Match the transceiver, fiber type, and far-end interface before releasing the purchase order.

Best For

Multi-Site Configuration Rollout

When several small offices need centralized oversight, an embedded Cisco Business Dashboard probe removes the need for a separate probe appliance or virtual machine at each site. Text-editable configurations and SCP file transfer support repeatable staging. Specify the configuration template, Dashboard connection, and site-specific settings before releasing the purchase order.

Replacement Acceptance Testing

When a replacement must pass acceptance testing before joining a live network, dual software images support firmware staging without relying on a single stored image. Port mirroring can copy traffic from four source ports to one destination for analysis. Specify the approved image and acceptance-test configuration with the order.

Branch Policy Rollout

When a branch rollout requires different access policies for staff, guests, and business devices, time-based access control lists allow policy enforcement on ingress and egress traffic. The switch supports 512 ACL rules across its filtering functions. Verify the complete rule set and required schedules before specifying the rollout quantity.

Not Suitable If

10G uplinks to distribution

The two fixed SFP uplinks operate at 1G, and there is no removable uplink bay. Changing transceivers cannot provide a 10G connection to distribution.

PoE-powered phones or access points

The access ports do not supply endpoint power. C1200-16P-2G is the current migration option for the discontinued PoE sibling; size endpoint power separately before ordering.

A single hardware switch stack

Business 250 switches cannot form a hardware stack. Cisco Business Dashboard manages separate switches centrally but does not combine their forwarding hardware into one stacked device.

Questions & Answers

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

CBS250-16T-2G-NA identifies a Business 250 Smart switch with 16 non-PoE Gigabit copper ports, two Gigabit SFP uplinks, and the NA regional suffix. CBS250 names the series, 16T identifies the copper-port configuration, and 2G identifies the uplinks. NA covers the United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and remaining Latin America.

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

CBS250-16T-2G-NA supports a web UI over HTTP/HTTPS, CLI through console, SSH or Telnet, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard, and the Cisco Business mobile app. The CLI offers full and menu-based operation. The embedded Dashboard probe avoids a separate probe appliance, while browser configuration supports basic and advanced modes.

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

CBS250-16T-2G-NA is discontinued, with end of sale on October 29, 2024. Software maintenance and vulnerability/security support ended October 29, 2025, while eligible remaining hardware support ends October 31, 2029. C1200-16T-2G is the current replacement for migration purchases; remaining hardware support does not extend the expired software-security maintenance period.

Does CBS250-16T-2G-NA require a license or subscription?

No separate switch-feature license or subscription is required for CBS250-16T-2G-NA; all switch functionality comes with the hardware purchase. The model has no tier selection or minimum subscription term for switch operation. A purchase order therefore does not need an additional switch-feature activation license or recurring switch-feature subscription.

Which older switch does CBS250-16T-2G-NA replace?

CBS250-16T-2G-NA replaces the discontinued SG250-18-K9-NA, whose end-of-sale date was October 30, 2021. The replacement configuration provides 16 Gigabit copper connections and two Gigabit SFP interfaces. Buyers matching that older installation should also account for the CBS250 model's discontinued status and the current C1200-16T-2G migration path.

Which fiber uplinks and optics does this Business 250 switch support?

CBS250-16T-2G-NA has two fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not 10G SFP+ interfaces. MGBSX1 supports multimode fiber links up to 500 m, while MGBLX1 supports single-mode fiber links up to 10 km. Transceivers are separate order items; choose matching fiber types and compatible far-end interfaces before specifying the link.

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

CBS250-16T-2G-NA supports static IPv4 routing with 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces, corresponding to Layer 2+ operation. Layer 3 interfaces can be configured on physical ports, LAGs, VLAN interfaces, or loopback interfaces. Size the required routes and interfaces before ordering rather than treating the switch as an unrestricted routing device.

Can Business 250 switches form a hardware stack?

No, Business 250 switches, including CBS250-16T-2G-NA, cannot form a hardware stack. Cisco Business Dashboard provides centralized management of separate switches but does not combine them into a stacked device. Order and configure each switch as an independent unit; this model does not use a hardware stacking kit or stacking cable.

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

CBS250-16T-2G-NA supplies no endpoint power, whereas the discontinued CBS250-16P-2G-NA supplies PoE+ with a shared 120W budget. Both models are discontinued, and endpoint power requires different hardware rather than a license upgrade. The T model suits separately powered devices; the P model matches existing PoE installations whose connected loads fit its shared budget.

What is the difference between CBS250-16T-2G-NA and CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA?

CBS250-16T-2G-NA uses an internal AC supply, whereas the discontinued CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA uses an external AC adapter. The latter also reduces copper access density to eight ports, so it is not a like-for-like replacement. The 16T configuration matches internal-power installations; the 8T configuration matches adapter-based, lower-density installations.

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

CBS250-16T-2G-NA ended sale on October 29, 2024, whereas C1200-16T-2G is its current replacement. Both configurations provide 16 Gigabit copper ports and two 1G SFP uplinks. The CBS250 model serves installed-base matching and sparing; C1200-16T-2G is the migration choice for buyers purchasing the replacement generation.

Is CBS250-16T-2G-NA a desktop or full-width rack switch?

CBS250-16T-2G-NA has a compact desktop-form-factor chassis measuring 268 mm wide, 272 mm deep, and 44 mm high. The unit weighs 1.78 kg and uses fanless cooling. Its enclosure is narrower than a full-width rack chassis, so identify the intended mounting arrangement and required hardware on the purchase order.

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

ORM Systems offers CBS250-16T-2G-NA new sealed or certified refurbished: new orders include up to a 3-year extended warranty; refurbished orders include up to 1 year. Both conditions include 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's separate Limited Lifetime warranty is subject to eligibility and ends with support on October 31, 2029.
