SG550XG-8F8T is a managed Layer 2+ switch with eight 10GBASE-T copper access ports and eight dedicated 10G SFP+ uplinks. Fixed uplinks require no removable network card, and the non-PoE connections serve independently powered equipment. The 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Cisco 550X Series and provides a mixed-media configuration for small-business networks. The discontinued SG550XG-24F shifts the connection mix toward fiber, providing twenty-four SFP+ interfaces with two shared copper connections. This 16-port 10G stackable managed switch accommodates copper and optical links on the same chassis rather than requiring an all-copper or all-fiber connection layout.

320 Gbps switching capacity provides wire-speed, nonblocking operation across the data interfaces. 238.08 Mpps forwarding at a 64-byte packet size defines the packet-processing ceiling. Static routing and RIP v2 handle inter-network forwarding, while VRRP v2/v3 and PBR provide gateway redundancy and next-hop policy control. The IPv4 routing limit is 7168 routes, alongside a separate 1792-route IPv6 static-routing limit. SG550XG-8F8T carries 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for control-plane operation and image storage. A shared 2 MB packet buffer serves the ports, and the MAC table holds 32000 addresses. STP, RSTP and MSTP control Layer 2 topology, while LACP combines links into aggregation groups. Hardware stacking supports eight members under a single management identity. Cooling uses three operating fans and one redundant fan. 84.6W worst-case consumption at 220V provides the draw figure for AC distribution sizing; the universal internal supply accepts 100–240V AC.
SG550XG-8F8T is available new sealed with ORM's up to 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1-year coverage; every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply, and Cisco's original limited lifetime coverage ended June 30, 2025. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition, PSU and fan status, and clean boot, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and accessories on the purchase order; ORM accepts POs for enterprise and volume orders, offers Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, and maintains regional stock/RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When an existing stack combines SF550X, SG550X, SG550XG or SX550X hardware, expansion depends on the supported hybrid-stack combination rather than matching copper and fiber layouts. Ring and chain topologies use network interfaces for interconnects. Allocate those connections against required endpoint links, then specify the topology and interconnect cable lengths before the PO.
When an existing site needs additional routed interfaces for separated business networks, the limit is 256 IPv4 interfaces. Interfaces can reside on physical ports, VLANs, link aggregation groups or loopbacks. Count planned interfaces and verify the gateway configuration against the current network design before specifying the replacement unit on the purchase order.
When a spare must be configured outside the production network, the dedicated 1GbE out-of-band management port provides a separate administration connection. A front-panel USB Type-A slot supports file and image management. Specify bench access, the intended configuration file and required management cabling before releasing the spare-hardware purchase order.
PoE power for connected endpoints
SG550XG-8F8T supplies no PoE. C1300-24P-4X provides powered access instead, with 24 Gigabit ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks rather than this model's mixed 10G copper and fiber layout.
Active Cisco service eligibility
Cisco service for SG550XG-8F8T ended June 30, 2025. C1300-16XTS is the current migration endpoint with eight 10G copper ports and eight SFP+ ports.
Fanless operation in occupied rooms
SG550XG-8F8T uses three operating fans plus one redundant fan, with acoustic output reaching 49.6 dB at 50°C. The chassis does not meet a fanless installation requirement.

SG550XG-8F8T identifies a 550X Series 10G managed switch: SG550XG is the model-family prefix, 8F denotes eight dedicated SFP+ ports, and 8T denotes eight 10GBASE-T copper ports. A separate Gigabit management interface is also present. For United States orders, the full regional ordering PID is SG550XG-8F8T-K9-NA.
SG550XG-8F8T supports an HTTP/HTTPS web UI, Textview CLI through the RJ-45 console or SSH/Telnet, and SNMPv1/v2c/v3. Network-level options include Smart Network Application, FindIT Network Manager with embedded FindIT Network Probe, FindIT Network Discovery Utility, and Active Advisor. Choose the administration method and management connectivity before configuration.
SG550XG-8F8T is discontinued: end of sale was June 18, 2020, and Cisco support ended June 30, 2025. The immediate replacement, SX550X-16FT-K9-NA, is also discontinued. Its migration path passes through discontinued CBS350-16XTS-NA to current C1300-16XTS. An ORM order does not restart Cisco service or software maintenance.
ORM offers SG550XG-8F8T new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original limited lifetime hardware warranty and service ended June 30, 2025. Certified refurbished managed units are firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default.
SG550XG-8F8T replaces the discontinued SG500XG-8F8T, whose end-of-sale date was December 3, 2016. Buyers maintaining that older hardware standard should distinguish the predecessor from the 550X model rather than treat their names as interchangeable. Confirm the required firmware and stack configuration separately before specifying replacement hardware on the purchase order.
No, the Cisco SG550XG-8F8T 16-port 10G switch supplies data connectivity without PoE output. Its copper interfaces therefore cannot power attached phones, access points or cameras through the Ethernet cable. Endpoints must obtain power separately, or the purchase order must specify a different switch with the required powered-port capability.
SG550XG-8F8T accepts SFP-10G-SR and SFP-10G-SR-S for multimode fiber, and SFP-10G-LR and SFP-10G-LR-S for single-mode fiber. Compatible copper direct-attach options include SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M and SFP-H10GB-CU5M. Match both link ends, fiber type and distance when specifying interfaces; an SFP+ cage is not a removable uplink network-card bay.
Eight switches form a Cisco 550X Series hardware stack, using 10G copper or fiber network interfaces in ring or chain arrangements. Hybrid stacks can mix SF550X, SG550X, SG550XG and SX550X models. SG550XG-8F8T cannot join firmware 2.6-or-later stacks, so reserve interconnect ports and verify firmware compatibility before adding a member.
The Cisco 550X Series supports Static routing, RIP v2, VRRP v2/v3 and PBR, with 7168 IPv4 routes and 1792 IPv6 static routes. Routed interfaces can use physical ports, LAGs, VLANs or loopbacks. These capabilities fit static or RIP-based routing designs; verify the routing design rather than assuming another dynamic routing protocol is available.
SG550XG-8F8T uses a universal internal AC supply accepting 100–240V AC, with worst-case draw of 84.3W at 110V and 84.6W at 220V. Power redundancy uses an external redundant power connection rather than a second internal PSU. Specify the regional ordering PID and intended redundancy arrangement before ordering the hardware.
SG550X-24P supplies PoE+ from a shared 195W budget across 24 Gigabit access ports; SG550XG-8F8T is a non-PoE 10G model. Both are discontinued. The former addresses legacy powered-endpoint access, while the latter suits mixed copper and fiber infrastructure connections needing 10G data connectivity rather than endpoint power delivery.
SG550XG-24F provides twenty-four SFP+ interfaces, including two shared copper/SFP+ combo connections; SG550XG-8F8T has eight dedicated SFP+ interfaces and eight dedicated copper ports. Both models are discontinued. Fiber-dense legacy inventories align with the former, while existing installations requiring a balanced copper and fiber layout align with the latter.
C1300-16XTS is the current migration endpoint, while SG550XG-8F8T lost Cisco support on June 30, 2025. Both provide eight 10G copper ports and eight SFP+ ports. The original model serves existing legacy hardware standards; C1300-16XTS addresses purchases requiring a current model rather than another discontinued step in the migration chain.
No, SG550XG-8F8T uses three operating fans plus one redundant fan. Acoustic output is 39.2 dB at 0–30°C and 49.6 dB at 50°C. The chassis operates from 0–50°C and belongs in an equipment location that allows fan noise, not an installation requiring a fanless switch.
