CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK combines fanless operation with eight 10/100/1000 PoE+ access ports and two fixed Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks in a desktop chassis. This Layer 2+ smart managed switch connects small-business computers, IP phones, wireless access points and cameras, with copper or fiber connections available for upstream links. Each combo pair activates one connection at a time; its copper connector and SFP slot do not operate as independent ports. The Cisco Business 250 Series Smart Switches support office and retail installations outside the wiring closet. The discontinued CBS250-8PP-E-2G-UK sibling offers a lower 45W PoE budget. This eight-port Gigabit PoE+ configuration has fixed uplinks rather than a removable uplink-card bay.

20 Gbps switching capacity supports nonblocking operation across the available connections. 14.88 Mpps forwarding performance covers 64-byte packets, the minimum-frame workload used for that rating. 60W of shared PoE output must be allocated across the connected powered devices rather than treated as a full-power allowance for every port. Static IPv4 routing supports 32 routes for communication between internal networks; dynamic routing is not provided. CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK carries 512 MB of DRAM, 256 MB of flash and a 1.5 MB packet buffer dynamically shared across its ports. Browser administration uses HTTP/HTTPS, while a full or menu-based CLI supports command-driven configuration. SSH, Telnet, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard and the Cisco Business mobile app provide additional administration paths. STP/RSTP/MSTP control switching loops, and LACP supports link aggregation. 80.86W worst-case consumption, including PoE delivery, is the maximum to use when checking the complete switch load against the available power allocation.
Order CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, specifying the condition, quantity and required fiber accessories on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with every port linked at rated speed, PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM warranties provide up to a 3-year extended term on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units; returns are available for 30 days on every condition, terms apply. POs are accepted, government buyers can use Net-30, and enterprise or volume orders can include RMA with advance replacement across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

An office refresh that separates voice, employee and device networks can use 16 IP interfaces across physical ports, link aggregation groups, VLAN interfaces or loopbacks. Map the intended gateways and external router responsibilities before ordering, and check the interface count against the addressing plan before approving the PO.
When several locations need the same initial configuration, the Cisco Network Plug and Play agent supports Cisco PnP Connect for remote provisioning. Define the enrollment process, initial connectivity and configuration ownership before purchase, and specify the staging responsibilities and site quantities on the PO.
When IP phones share an office network with ordinary data traffic, eight hardware queues and voice VLAN handling provide controls for traffic prioritization. Confirm the existing voice design, endpoint requirements and intended queue assignments before purchasing, and include the required configuration work in the rollout order.
10G uplinks to distribution
The combo uplinks stop at 1G. C1200-24P-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks and 24 PoE+ access ports, so the alternative also increases access-port density.
More than 60W endpoint power
Aggregate PoE demand above 60W exceeds the shared budget. C1200-8FP-2G provides 120W across eight powered access ports and uses internal AC power instead of an external adapter.
Hot-swappable redundant internal power
Power arrives through a single external AC adapter; the chassis has no internal redundant power-supply bays, so an order cannot add hot-swappable internal PSU redundancy.

CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK identifies a Cisco Business 250 smart switch: 8P denotes eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports, E denotes external power, and 2G denotes two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. UK is the regional ordering suffix covering the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
Cisco Business 250 Series Smart Switches support a web UI over HTTP/HTTPS, full or menu-based CLI through the RJ-45 console, SSH or Telnet, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard and the Cisco Business mobile app. An embedded Dashboard probe runs on the switch; select the administration and monitoring paths before configuring management access.
CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK is discontinued: end of sale was October 29, 2024, and the last date of support is October 31, 2029. Software maintenance and vulnerability/security support ended October 29, 2025. C1200-8P-E-2G is the current replacement. Plan remaining deployments around the support end date rather than assuming ongoing software fixes.
New sealed and certified refurbished CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK units carry ORM warranties of up to 3-year extended coverage for new and up to 1 year for refurbished. Cisco's limited lifetime hardware warranty ends October 31, 2029, subject to eligibility. Returns apply for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested.
CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK replaced the discontinued SG250-10P-K9-UK, whose end-of-sale date was October 30, 2021. The older model's last date of support is October 31, 2026. A spare-parts order should distinguish the exact predecessor from its replacement, because the identifiers represent different generations rather than alternative names for the same switch.
60W shared across eight PoE+ access ports is the total output budget for CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK, with up to 30W available to an individual powered port. Port capability does not mean every connected device can receive 30W simultaneously. Add the endpoint power requirements together before finalizing the number and type of devices.
Two fixed 1G combo uplinks on CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK accept copper connections or supported Gigabit SFP optics, with only one side of each pair active at a time. GLC-SX-MMD supports multimode fiber to 550 m, and GLC-LH-SMD supports single-mode fiber to 10 km. Select optics for the installed fiber and link distance.
Static IPv4 routing with 32 routes and 16 IP interfaces is available on Cisco Business 250 switches, providing Layer 2+ operation rather than dynamic routing. Interfaces can be assigned to physical ports, LAGs, VLANs or loopbacks. Check the planned gateway and route counts before specifying the switch for inter-VLAN routing.
A desktop form factor with a 268 mm width describes CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK, although mounting hardware is included. The chassis measures 185 mm deep and 44 mm high and weighs 1.53 kg. Allow space for the external AC adapter and cable bends when checking the mounting location before purchase.
60W of shared PoE output distinguishes CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK from the 45W CBS250-8PP-E-2G-UK. Both models are discontinued, and the difference concerns their aggregate power budgets rather than their per-port PoE+ class. The 60W version accommodates higher total endpoint demand; the 45W version fits maintenance of an existing lower-power configuration.
An external AC adapter powers CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK, whereas CBS250-16P-2G-UK uses internal AC power. The latter also has 16 access ports rather than eight, requiring a different port-density plan. Both models are discontinued: the eight-port model suits external-adapter spares, while the 16-port model suits maintenance of existing internally powered installations.
C1200-8P-E-2G is the current replacement for CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK, which reached end of sale on October 29, 2024. Both have eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports and two Gigabit combo uplinks. CBS250 orders support existing hardware sparing; C1200 orders suit buyers standardizing on the current generation rather than a discontinued model.
