CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU provides fanless, Layer 2+ smart-managed switching through eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports and two fixed Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. Each combo uplink operates through either its copper connector or its fiber cage, not both simultaneously. The desktop enclosure serves small-business access networks connecting IP phones, wireless access points, computers, and surveillance cameras. Within the Cisco Business portfolio, the Business 250 series combines configurable network segmentation with endpoint power rather than unmanaged forwarding. The discontinued CBS250-8P-E-2G-EU reduces available PoE power to 60W for lower-demand installations. The fixed uplink architecture requires no expansion card, but it provides no path to 10G uplink operation.

20 Gbps switching capacity supports nonblocking forwarding across the available interfaces. 14.88 Mpps forwarding handles 64-byte packets at the published packet-processing rate. 120W of shared PoE power supplies connected endpoints, with a 30W maximum on an individual powered port; aggregate allocation remains the limiting factor. Static IPv4 routing supports 32 routes for local traffic between configured networks rather than dynamic route exchange. CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU carries 512 MB DRAM for runtime operation and 256 MB flash for firmware storage. A dynamically shared 1.5 MB packet buffer accommodates traffic across the ports, while eight hardware queues support traffic prioritization. STP/RSTP/MSTP provide spanning-tree operation, and LACP supports link aggregation. Browser-based configuration, a scriptable CLI, and an RJ-45 console provide administration paths. The MAC table accommodates 8000 addresses for learned forwarding entries. 147.48W maximum consumption, including PoE output, establishes the AC load allowance when sizing branch power and UPS capacity.
ORM Systems offers CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified, and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition and quantity, and confirm the supplied power adapter and mounting kit when placing the purchase order. New hardware carries up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty and certified refurbished hardware up to 1 year, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's Limited Lifetime warranty cannot extend beyond October 31, 2029. For enterprise and volume orders, PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement are available, with regional stock and RMA in the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Sites receiving a repeatable network configuration can use text-editable configuration files and secure SCP downloads for staging. Cisco Network Plug and Play supports provisioning through Cisco PnP Connect, while SNMP v3 supports monitored rollouts. Specify the onboarding method, saved configuration, and monitoring credentials before the purchase order.
Workgroups needing communication between separate VLANs can place interfaces on physical ports, link aggregation groups, VLAN interfaces, or loopbacks. The switch supports 16 IP interfaces, making interface planning a separate check from endpoint count. Confirm the required interface assignments and local traffic boundaries before ordering.
Staging teams investigating traffic behavior can mirror four source ports to one destination port or four source VLANs to one destination port. An external network analyzer or RMON probe can receive the copied traffic. Define the capture destination and required observation points before finalizing the lab bill of materials.
10G uplinks to distribution
The fixed combo uplinks operate at 1G. C1200-24P-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks, but also increases access-port density from eight to 24.
30W on every access port
The shared 120W budget cannot supply 30W simultaneously to all eight access ports. The combined endpoint allocation must remain within that shared ceiling.

CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU identifies a Business 250 eight-port Gigabit full-PoE model with external power and two Gigabit combo uplinks. CBS250 names the series, 8 the access-port count, FP full PoE, E external power, and 2G the uplinks. EU selects a regional version covering the European Economic Area and other designated markets.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU supports HTTP/HTTPS web management, CLI through its RJ-45 console or SSH/Telnet, Cisco Business Dashboard, the Cisco Business mobile app, and SNMP v1/v2c/v3. Dashboard uses an embedded probe, while the CLI supports scripting and a menu-based interface for device configuration and administration.
The Business 250 eight-port full-PoE switch provides 120W shared across eight PoE+ access ports, with a 30W maximum on any individual powered port. Eight endpoints cannot each draw 30W simultaneously. Budget the combined endpoint demand rather than assuming the full-PoE designation guarantees maximum output on every port at once.
The Business 250 eight-port full-PoE switch provides two fixed 1G copper/SFP combo uplinks, with either copper or fiber active on each pair. MGBSX1 and MGBLX1 provide compatible fiber options. The paired connectors do not create additional independent interfaces, and installing an optical transceiver does not enable 10G operation.
The Business 250 series supports inter-VLAN communication through static IPv4 routing, with 32 routes and 16 IP interfaces. Interfaces can attach to physical ports, link aggregation groups, VLAN interfaces, or loopbacks. This is Layer 2+ functionality rather than dynamic routing, so the network design must accommodate configured static routes.
No, CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU requires its external AC power adapter and does not receive operating power over PoE. The adapter accepts 100-240V AC at 50-60 Hz. PoE+ on this model powers connected endpoints; it does not replace the AC supply needed to operate the switch itself.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU measures 268 mm wide, 185 mm deep, and 44 mm high, with a weight of 1.53 kg. The chassis is a fanless desktop design rather than a full-width rack chassis. Its operating temperature range is -5°C to 50°C; allow space for the external adapter and connected cabling.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU is discontinued: Cisco sales ended October 29, 2024, and software maintenance and vulnerability support ended October 29, 2025. The last date of support is October 31, 2029. Remaining hardware support does not extend the security-update period, so purchasing plans must distinguish hardware coverage from continuing software maintenance.
New sealed CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU carries up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty; certified refurbished carries up to 1 year. Both conditions include 30-day returns, with terms applying. Cisco's platform warranty is Limited Lifetime, bounded by the last date of support on October 31, 2029, rather than an unlimited support commitment.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU provides 120W of PoE power, whereas CBS250-8P-E-2G-EU provides 60W. Both models are discontinued. The full-PoE model accommodates a higher aggregate endpoint load; the lower-budget model addresses existing installations with smaller powered-device requirements. Size either configuration against combined endpoint demand rather than one device's power class.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU has eight PoE+ access ports, compared with 16 on CBS250-16P-2G-EU. Both models are discontinued. The eight-port model suits smaller endpoint groups, while the 16-port model matches denser existing installations. For a new purchase at that larger density, C1200-16P-2G is the current replacement for the discontinued 16-port model.
C1200-8FP-2G uses internal AC power, whereas CBS250-8FP-E-2G-EU uses an external adapter. C1200-8FP-2G is the current replacement for the discontinued Business 250 model. Buyers maintaining an existing external-adapter installation may require the original hardware; buyers moving to the successor should plan for an internally powered chassis rather than reusing the old adapter.
