Product Performance
Key Features
The switch supports 8 PoE+ copper ports with a Cisco-listed 67W aggregate budget, making the endpoint power worksheet more important than the port count alone.
The two uplink positions can be planned as copper or SFP handoff points, with one active interface in each combo pair.
Cisco lists C1200-8P-E-2G in the external 100 to 240V power group, unlike C1200-8FP-2G and C1200-16P-2G internal-power alternatives.
The official ordering entry identifies the model as rack-mountable, and the data sheet lists the C1200-8P-E unit as fanless.
The model comparison lists Layer 2 switching, VLAN support, STP, ACL, QoS, and IPv4/IPv6 static routing across Catalyst 1200 models.
Catalyst 1200 model documentation identifies on-device UI, Cisco Business Dashboard, and Cisco Business mobile app management for this switch family.
Application Scenarios
C1200-8P-E-2G fits small access locations where 8 powered copper ports are enough and the device list can stay within the Cisco-listed 67W PoE budget.
The two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks suit compact racks where the upstream handoff may be RJ45 copper in one site and 1G SFP media in another.
This SKU is relevant for quiet small-office, retail, education, or branch placements where the buyer wants a fanless 8-port PoE+ switch and accepts an external power supply.

- In a C1200-8P-E-2G vs C1200-8FP-2G comparison, the difference is PoE budget and power supply: C1200-8P-E-2G is 67W with external power, while C1200-8FP-2G is 120W with internal universal AC.
- The C1200-8P-E-2G vs C1200-8T-E-2G difference is powered access; both keep the 8-port combo-uplink format, but C1200-8T-E-2G is data only.
- For C1200-8P-E-2G vs C1200-16P-2G, the comparison is access scale and uplink form because C1200-16P-2G provides 16 PoE+ ports and fixed 1G SFP uplinks.
- The which model to choose check should start with PoE budget, then confirm whether the order needs external power, internal AC, combo uplinks, or more powered ports.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for 67W compact PoE access
Specify C1200-8P-E-2G when the site needs 8 Gigabit PoE+ ports and the confirmed powered-device draw fits inside the 67W budget.
2. Move up for more PoE headroom
Select C1200-8FP-2G when the same 8-port combo-uplink footprint is required but the endpoint plan needs the Cisco-listed 120W PoE class.
3. Shift to data-only for nonpowered endpoints
C1200-8T-E-2G is the closer alternative when the rack still needs two Gigabit combo uplinks but phones, cameras, access points, or readers should not draw switch power.
4. Increase port count with the 16-port PoE model
C1200-16P-2G fits orders that need 16 powered copper ports and 2 fixed 1G SFP uplinks rather than the 8-port combo-uplink layout.
PoE Power Planning
|
Check Item |
Cisco-confirmed Value |
Planning Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
Available PoE |
67W power dedicated to PoE |
The endpoint worksheet must keep aggregate draw within the lower 8-port Catalyst 1200 PoE budget |
|
PoE port count |
8 PoE+ access ports |
Powered devices can be connected across the copper access ports while sharing one switch-level power pool |
|
Per-port PoE limit |
Up to 30.0W to any Gigabit Ethernet port within the switch budget |
A single higher-draw device is possible only if enough aggregate budget remains |
|
Power consumption with PoE |
110V=87.89W; 220V=84.86W |
UPS and circuit planning should use the powered-switch draw when PoE endpoints are attached |
|
Heat dissipation |
299.91 BTU/hr |
Cabinet ventilation should reflect the PoE-loaded heat figure even though the model is fanless |
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact product ID |
C1200-8P-E-2G appears on the purchase line |
Prevents substitution with the 120W C1200-8FP model or a data-only 8-port switch |
|
PoE worksheet |
Total powered-device load stays within 67W |
The switch has 8 PoE+ ports but a smaller aggregate PoE pool than C1200-8FP-2G |
|
Power arrangement |
External 100 to 240V power supply is acceptable at the install site |
The order should not assume the internal AC design used by larger Catalyst 1200 PoE models |
|
Combo uplink plan |
RJ45 copper or SFP media is selected for each combo position |
Only one side of each copper/SFP combo pair operates at a time |
|
Rack hardware |
RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= is included when 19-in. mounting is needed |
Cisco lists the compact bracket for C1000, C1200, and C1300 8-port and 16-port models |
|
SFP selection |
1G SFP model, media type, and reach match the uplink design |
Cisco lists supported Gigabit SFP options for Catalyst 1200 uplink planning |
|
Operations model |
On-device UI, Cisco Business Dashboard, or Cisco Business mobile app is the intended management path |
The management handoff should match the tools documented for Catalyst 1200 deployments |
