CBS250-16T-2G is a fanless Layer 2+ smart switch with 16 Gigabit RJ-45 access ports and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The non-PoE copper connections serve independently powered computers, printers and servers, while the fiber uplinks connect the local network to upstream equipment. Its compact desktop chassis belongs to the Cisco Business 250 family and uses an internal AC supply rather than an external adapter. The discontinued CBS250-16P-2G differs by providing PoE+ with a shared 120W budget. For small-business networks, the Gigabit smart switch combines configurable traffic segmentation with controls beyond those of an unmanaged device. The built-in web interface includes configuration wizards, status monitoring and basic or advanced modes, so local setup does not require a command-line-only workflow.
CBS250-16T-2G price for new stock is $472.50, a 22.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $607.50. CBS250-16T-2G refurb price is $173.15. CBS250-16T-2G is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

36 Gbps switching capacity permits nonblocking traffic across the copper and fiber connections. 26.78 Mpps forwarding handles wire-speed traffic measured with 64-byte packets. Static IPv4 routing supports 32 configured routes for local subnet traffic, without dynamic route learning. STP/RSTP/MSTP provides loop control, while LACP supports four aggregation groups with eight active ports per group. The address table holds 8000 MAC entries, and 255 active VLANs accommodate separately defined traffic domains. CBS250-16T-2G uses 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for operation and image storage; a dynamically shared 1.5 MB packet buffer spans the ports. Eight hardware queues support traffic prioritization through strict priority and Weighted Round-Robin scheduling. Cisco Business Dashboard integrates an embedded probe, and the mobile app provides another management path. SNMP versions 1, 2c and 3 provide monitoring options. The front-panel USB Type-A connection supports file and image management, while copper cabling must meet Category 5e or better for 1000BASE-T links.
ORM Systems offers CBS250-16T-2G new sealed or certified refurbished; new units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, refurbished units up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns, with terms applying. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition and PSU status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, regional power cord and quantities on the purchase order for this switch. Enterprise and volume Cisco Business orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When a small business adds separate user, server and guest subnets, the switch supports 16 IP interfaces and can relay DHCP traffic between IP domains. Local routing requires explicit route configuration rather than dynamic route exchange. Define interface assignments and confirm the DHCP server path before the purchase order.
When multiple sites need a common configuration, text-editable configuration files and SCP autoconfiguration let administrators reuse settings while transferring files over SSH. CLI privilege levels 1, 7 and 15 separate access roles. Specify the configuration baseline, administrator credentials and staging procedure before ordering the site quantities.
When a staging bench needs packet visibility before equipment is deployed, port mirroring sends traffic from up to 4 source ports to 1 destination port for a network analyzer. VLAN mirroring also supports 4 source VLANs. Reserve the analyzer connection and define the capture plan before specifying the staging order.
PoE power for connected endpoints
Endpoint power is not available from the copper ports. C1200-16P-2G provides 16 PoE+ ports with a shared 120W budget, while retaining two 1G SFP uplinks.
10G uplinks to distribution
Uplinks are limited to 1G SFP connections. C1200-24T-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks, but also changes the access-port count to 24 and uses a full-width rack chassis.
Continued security fixes from Cisco
Security support ended October 29, 2025, so continued Cisco security remedies are no longer available. C1200-16T-2G is the current replacement with the same basic port configuration.
Dynamic routing between network segments
Routing uses static configuration. Network changes therefore require administrators to maintain route entries manually rather than relying on automatically learned routes or dynamic route exchange.

CBS250-16T-2G means Cisco Business 250, 16 non-PoE copper access ports and two Gigabit SFP uplinks. CBS250 names the family, 16 gives the access-port count, T identifies the non-PoE copper configuration, and 2G identifies the uplinks. The US regional variant is CBS250-16T-2G-NA.
CBS250-16T-2G supports an HTTP/HTTPS web interface, CLI through the RJ-45 console or SSH/Telnet, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app and SNMP. Full and menu-based CLI modes are available. The embedded dashboard probe removes the need for a separate onsite probe, while SNMP supports versions 1, 2c and 3.
Yes, CBS250-16T-2G is discontinued: the US regional variant reached end-of-sale on October 29, 2024. Software maintenance and security support ended October 29, 2025. The last date of Cisco support is October 31, 2029, and C1200-16T-2G is the current replacement for new installations.
ORM Systems offers CBS250-16T-2G new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's limited lifetime hardware warranty is separate, with Cisco service ending October 31, 2029.
CBS250-16T-2G replaces SG250-18-K9-AU, SG250-18-K9-EU, SG250-18-K9-JP, SG250-18-K9-NA and SG250-18-K9-UK through corresponding regional variants. These older models reached end-of-sale on October 30, 2021. Existing replacement orders require the appropriate regional designation, and refresh planning must also account for the discontinued status of the CBS250 model.
CBS250-16P-2G adds 16 PoE+ ports and a shared 120W power budget, whereas CBS250-16T-2G does not supply endpoint power. Both models are discontinued and use two 1G SFP uplinks. The PoE model addresses powered endpoints in existing installations; the non-PoE model addresses separately powered devices.
CBS250-16T-2G uses an internal AC supply, while CBS250-8T-E-2G requires an external AC adapter. Both models are discontinued. The internal-supply model suits replacement orders that avoid a separate adapter; the external-adapter model suits installations maintaining that power arrangement. Complete power accessories remain necessary for an existing-system replacement.
C1200-16T-2G is the current replacement for the discontinued CBS250-16T-2G. Both offer 16 non-PoE Gigabit copper ports and two 1G SFP uplinks. CBS250-16T-2G addresses like-for-like spares for existing installations, while C1200-16T-2G is the successor to specify when purchasing hardware for a new refresh.
CBS250-16T-2G supports 1G optics including GLC-SX-MMD for multimode fiber and GLC-LH-SMD for single-mode fiber. GLC-SX-MMD supports links to 550 m, while GLC-LH-SMD supports 10 km. Fiber type, reach and the far-end transceiver must match the link requirements, with optics included as separate purchase-order lines.
Yes, Cisco Business 250 switches provide static IPv4 routing between VLANs, with 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. Routing is configured manually rather than through dynamic routing protocols. The subnet design must fit both limits, and network changes require updates to the static route configuration.
No, CBS250-16T-2G provides data connectivity but does not deliver PoE to IP phones or wireless access points. Connected devices require their own power source or a separate injector. The switch itself also uses its internal AC supply rather than being powered through an Ethernet PD port.
CBS250-16T-2G draws a maximum of 18.63W at 110V AC, with 18.37W at 220V AC. The internal supply accepts 100-240V AC at 50-60 Hz. These figures cover the switch itself; endpoint power is not included because this model has no PoE output.
Yes, CBS250-16T-2G is rack-mountable with the mounting kit included in the standard package. Its compact chassis measures 268 mm wide, 272 mm deep and 44 mm high, with a weight of 1.78 kg. The desktop-sized enclosure is narrower than a full-width rack chassis.
