CBS250-8P-E-2G is a fanless 8-port Gigabit PoE+ smart managed switch for compact SMB access networks. The Business 250 smart switch provides Layer 2+ operation with eight 10/100/1000 powered access ports and two fixed Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks, so each uplink position uses either its RJ-45 side or its SFP side. Its desktop chassis fits small branch, retail, office, classroom, camera and wireless edge locations where local management and basic inter-VLAN routing are required without a full enterprise access stack. CBS250-8FP-E-2G keeps the same 8-port access layout and two combo uplinks but increases the PoE budget to 120W.
CBS250-8P-E-2G price for new stock is $477.75, a 32.6% saving from the Cisco list price of $708.75. CBS250-8P-E-2G refurb price is $434.01. CBS250-8P-E-2G is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity supports nonblocking forwarding across the access and combo interfaces, and 14.88 Mpps forwarding rate is specified for 64-byte packets. 60W PoE budget is shared across the eight powered ports, with PoE+ able to deliver 30W to a port until the switch budget is reached. Static IPv4 routing supports up to 32 routes and 16 IP interfaces, while Layer 2 controls include STP, RSTP, MSTP and LACP. CBS250-8P-E-2G carries 512 MB DRAM, 256 MB flash, a 1.5 MB packet buffer and an 8000-entry MAC table. Management is available through the web-based interface, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, SNMP and console CLI on supported models. The platform is standalone rather than hardware-stackable.
Order CBS250-8P-E-2G as new sealed stock or certified refurbished hardware, with the regional suffix matched to the deployment country. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested; managed units are firmware verified and wiped to factory default, with PoE output verified under load, every port linked at rated speed, optics bay recognition checked and the supplied adapter tested for rated output. New units are available with up to 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units with up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns with terms applying. PO is accepted, Net-30 is available for government, RMA includes advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA coverage spans the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When a small branch needs one quiet access switch for phones, cameras or wireless access points, the 8 powered Gigabit ports and two combo uplinks keep copper and fiber handoff options open. List the regional suffix, endpoint count, adapter requirement and uplink media before the PO.
When powered endpoints vary by model, compare each device draw against the shared 60W budget rather than the eight-port count alone. Eight ports at 30W each equal 240W, so record real endpoint wattage and any future additions before selecting condition and quantity.
When an installed base includes SG250-10P-K9 regional units, this Business 250 configuration matches the refresh path with eight Gigabit PoE access ports and two 1G combo uplinks. Check the site power adapter region, desired condition and last-support date before placing spare stock.
10G uplinks to distribution
CBS250-8P-E-2G has two 1G combo uplinks and no SFP+ ports. For 10G uplinks, use C1200-24P-4X, which changes to 24 access ports.
Full 30W on every port
The switch has a 60W shared PoE budget across eight powered ports, below 8 x 30W. A current higher-budget 8-port alternative is C1200-8FP-2G at 120W.
Hardware switch stacking
CBS250-8P-E-2G is standalone; Stackable is No, and the platform has no stacking kit, cable PID or member count to specify.
Dynamic routing protocols
Layer 3 capability is static IPv4 routing up to 32 routes and IPv6 routing. Dynamic routing protocol selection is not part of this platform.

CBS250-8P-E-2G identifies a Cisco Business 250 smart switch: CBS250 is the Business 250 family, 8P is eight 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports with a 60W budget, E indicates the external-power 8-port form factor, and 2G means two Gigabit copper/SFP combo ports.
CBS250-8P-E-2G is smart managed through a web-based interface, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, SNMP and console CLI on supported models. The switch also supports SSH for secure access functions and uses 192.168.1.254 as the factory default management address.
CBS250-8P-E-2G regional PIDs are end-of-sale hardware, with the affected models reaching end-of-sale on 29 October 2024. The last ship date was 27 January 2025, software maintenance ended 29 October 2025, and the last date of support is 31 October 2029.
ORM offers CBS250-8P-E-2G new sealed or certified refurbished, while Cisco lists a Limited Lifetime warranty bounded by the 31 October 2029 support date. ORM warranty options are up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished, with 30-day returns.
CBS250-8P-E-2G replaced regional SG250-10P-K9 variants in the Cisco small-business refresh path. The older SG250-10P-K9 models reached end-of-sale on 30 October 2021 and last support on 31 October 2026, while the Business 250 replacement added the CBS family naming.
No, CBS250-8P-E-2G does not require a separate software subscription for the Business 250 smart switch feature set. The hardware ordering path does not add a network license tier, and management features such as the web interface, Dashboard support and mobile app support are included.
CBS250-8P-E-2G provides a 60W PoE budget across eight PoE+ ports. Any powered Gigabit port can deliver up to 30W until the switch budget is reached, so endpoint planning should use the total wattage requirement rather than assuming 30W on every port.
Cisco Business 250 8-port PoE models with 2G combo uplinks use Gigabit SFP modules in the shared combo slots. Listed 1G options include MGBSX1, MGBLH1, MGBLX1, MGBT1, GLC-SX-MMD, GLC-LH-SMD, GLC-BX-U, GLC-BX-D and GLC-TE.
CBS250-8P-E-2G supports Layer 3 static routing, not dynamic routing protocols. The switch supports wire-speed IPv4 routing with up to 32 static routes and up to 16 IP interfaces, along with IPv6 routing and Layer 3 interfaces on ports, LAGs, VLANs or loopbacks.
Yes, CBS250-8P-E-2G is rack-mountable with the mounting kit included in the package contents. Its chassis is 268 mm wide, 185 mm deep and 44 mm high, so the product page classifies the physical form factor as Desktop rather than a full-width 19-inch rack switch.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G carries a 120W PoE budget where CBS250-8P-E-2G carries 60W. Both models provide eight 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports and two Gigabit copper/SFP combo ports, so choose CBS250-8FP-E-2G for higher aggregate endpoint draw and CBS250-8P-E-2G for lighter PoE loads.
C1200-8P-E-2G is the named migration PID for CBS250-8P-E-2G and raises the PoE budget to 67W. The Business 250 model fits installed-fleet sparing, while C1200-8P-E-2G fits buyers standardizing on the Catalyst 1200 successor line.
CBS250-16P-2G provides 16 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports where CBS250-8P-E-2G provides eight. CBS250-16P-2G also uses two dedicated Gigabit SFP uplinks instead of two copper/SFP combo ports, so it suits higher copper density while CBS250-8P-E-2G suits smaller edge locations.
