SG500XG-8F8T is a managed, non-PoE Layer 2+ switch combining eight 10GBase-T copper ports with eight fixed 10G SFP+ ports in a 1U rack chassis. Its mixed-media configuration accommodates copper-connected equipment and optical network links without a removable uplink card. The Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switches targets small-business networks with physical stacking and local routing requirements. A dedicated Gigabit Ethernet management port provides administration connectivity separately from the ten-gigabit data interfaces. Attached equipment requires its own power because the data ports do not deliver PoE.

320 Gbps switching capacity supports nonblocking forwarding, while 238.1 Mpps forwarding is rated for 64-byte packets. Static IPv4 and IPv6 routing can terminate on physical ports, VLAN interfaces, link-aggregation groups, or loopback interfaces, making interface selection part of the route plan. SG500XG-8F8T provides a dynamically shared 16 Mb packet buffer across its ports. STP/RSTP/MSTP support Layer 2 topology control. The 16-port 10 Gigabit stackable managed switch offers browser administration, CLI access, and SNMP for operational management. Four speed-controlled fans provide active cooling within the 0°C to 50°C operating range, ruling out fanless installations. 94.33W maximum consumption at 220V AC establishes the chassis power requirement for circuit planning rather than an endpoint-power allowance. The internal universal supply accepts 100-240V AC. A 131290-hour MTBF at 50°C describes hardware reliability, not a warranty duration or guaranteed service life.
SG500XG-8F8T is offered new sealed with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year, and both conditions carry 30-day returns; terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify this switch's condition, quantity, optics, and cabling on the purchase order; Cisco's original Limited Lifetime coverage and service ended December 31, 2021. ORM accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government, and provides RMA with advance replacement, with stock and RMA regions covering the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

In a mid-sized enterprise data center running VMware ESXi clusters, the SG500XG-8F8T 16-port 10-Gigabit Stackable Managed Switch aggregates multiple hypervisor uplinks into a single low-latency fabric. Its eight 10GBase-T and eight SFP+ ports deliver line-rate throughput and sub-microsecond latency, eliminating I/O bottlenecks for live VM migrations and real-time analytics. Outcome: 4× faster vMotion speeds, deterministic performance under heavy east-west traffic, seamless stacking of up to eight units, and granular QoS policies for mission-critical workloads.
A broadcast studio upgrading to 4K and 8K camera workflows leverages the SG500XG-8F8T switch to connect NAS storage, video servers, and Adobe Premiere workstations over 10-Gigabit links. The switch’s wire-speed switching and advanced IGMP snooping ensure jitter-free streams and ultra-fast transfers of multi-gigabyte raw footage. Outcome: 3× reduction in project ingest times, reliable multicast distribution for live editing sessions, and centralized management of VLAN-segmented production environments.
In a distributed campus network deploying VoIP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras, the SG500XG-8F8T acts as the aggregation core, stacking up to eight switches for single-pane management. Its 16 total 10-Gigabit ports consolidate uplinks from access switches and firewall appliances, while policy-based QoS prioritizes voice and video traffic. Outcome: 10-Gb uplink convergence, sub-5ms failover with stacking resiliency, simplified firmware updates across the stack, and consistent SLA-driven performance for voice, video, and data services.
When consolidating server or storage links, link-aggregation planning needs more than a chassis port total. The platform supports 32 link-aggregation groups with eight active ports per group. Define the required bundles, member-link quantities, and matching media before finalizing the purchase order.
When extending an existing rack stack, interconnect media and physical spacing belong on the same purchase order as the chassis. SFP-H10GB-CU3M provides a 3 m copper SFP+ connection option. Confirm member compatibility, cable routing, and interconnect quantities before ordering the additional switch.
When preparing a replacement ahead of a maintenance window, the switch supports two firmware images for software staging. Browser-based firmware upgrades are available alongside TFTP and SCP transfers. Define the image to load, the configuration-backup procedure, and the handover checks before releasing the purchase order.
Active Cisco manufacturer support
Cisco support for SG500XG-8F8T ended December 31, 2021. For a current purchase on the same copper-and-fiber migration path, specify C1300-16XTS instead.
PoE power for attached endpoints
SG500XG-8F8T supplies no PoE power to connected devices. Phones, access points, and other powered endpoints require a separate power source rather than power from these ports.
Silent fanless operation
SG500XG-8F8T uses four fans with variable-speed control rather than passive cooling. Locations requiring a fanless switch need a different hardware configuration.

SG500XG-8F8T identifies a managed 10 Gigabit switch in the Cisco 500 Series: 8F corresponds to eight SFP+ ports, and 8T corresponds to eight 10GBase-T copper ports. A separate Gigabit Ethernet management port provides administration connectivity rather than another 10G endpoint connection.
SG500XG-8F8T is managed through its HTTP/HTTPS web interface, CLI over SSH or Telnet, serial console, or SNMP; the CLI offers full and menu modes. Legacy integrations include Cisco OnPlus and FindIT Network Manager. Specify the intended management path and credentials during staging, separately from the switch's endpoint connections.
SG500XG-8F8T is discontinued: end of sale was December 3, 2016, and Cisco support ended December 31, 2021. Manufacturer service is no longer available. Purchases for an existing installation therefore need an explicit condition choice and reseller-backed replacement arrangements rather than a new Cisco support entitlement.
ORM Systems offers SG500XG-8F8T new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original Limited Lifetime hardware warranty and manufacturer service ended December 31, 2021. Refurbished managed units are inspected, bench-tested, firmware verified, and factory-reset.
SG500XG-8F8T supports SFP-10G-SR for 10G multimode fiber and SFP-10G-LR for 10G single-mode fiber. The connection requires a compatible transceiver at each end. Specify the optic PID, fiber type, and opposite interface together rather than treating an empty SFP+ cage as a complete optical connection.
SG500XG-8F8T supports hardware stacks with eight members. Supported copper SFP+ cable options include SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M, and SFP-H10GB-CU5M for 1 m, 3 m, and 5 m connections. State the member arrangement and cable quantities on the purchase order, keeping the selected interconnect media consistent across both ends.
SG500XG-8F8T supports static IPv4 and IPv6 routing for routed connections between local network segments. Routed interfaces can be assigned to physical ports, link-aggregation groups, VLAN interfaces, or loopback interfaces. Establish the required interface types, address assignments, and static route plan before preparing the production configuration.
The 16-port 10 Gigabit stackable managed switch uses an internal universal AC supply with a 100-240V AC input. Maximum consumption is 94.33W at 220V AC, versus 93.7W at 110V AC. The chassis supplies no PoE, so the power plan must account for attached equipment separately.
SG500XG-8F8T is a 1U rack-mount switch measuring 440 mm wide, 44 mm high, and 350 mm deep, with a 5.25 kg chassis weight. Match rack depth, mounting hardware, and rear cable clearance to the installation before the order; this is not a narrow desktop chassis.
The 16-port 10 Gigabit stackable managed switch is not fanless: SG500XG-8F8T has four speed-controlled fans and operates from 0°C to 50°C. Its MTBF is 131290 hours at 50°C, a reliability figure rather than a warranty duration. Account for fan noise and ambient temperature when selecting the installation location.
SG500XG-8F8T provides 320 Gbps switching capacity and 238.1 Mpps forwarding for 64-byte packets. These figures describe aggregate packet-handling capability, not the negotiated rate of an individual link. Specify endpoint and uplink media for their own interface speeds rather than using switching capacity as a port-speed requirement.
SG500XG-8F8T is retired, while C1300-16XTS is the current migration endpoint with eight 10GE copper ports and eight SFP+ ports. The intermediate CBS350-16XTS is also discontinued. The older model suits an existing hardware standard; the current endpoint suits a replacement purchase that needs a current-generation switch.
