C1200-8T-D Description

The C1200-8T-D is a Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series managed Gigabit Ethernet desktop switch for desks, counters and small rooms that need eight copper data ports. The switch has 8 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports, 16.0 Gbps of switching capacity and 11.90 Mpps of forwarding in a fanless 177 x 141.5 x 30 mm chassis. The switch has no dedicated uplink ports and no PoE output, and it runs from an external AC adapter or from 802.3af PoE input on port 1.

Key Features

Compact Desktop Chassis

The 177 x 141.5 x 30 mm body weighs 0.58 kg and has no fan, so it sits on a desk or shelf without noise.

PoE Input On Port 1

Port 1 accepts 802.3af PoE input as backup or sole power, which removes the need for a nearby outlet at the switch.

Eight Ports With No Dedicated Uplinks

All eight 10/100/1000 ports are RJ45 and none is reserved for uplink, so one of them carries the connection upstream.

Application Scenarios

Desktop Switch For A Small Room

On a desk or shelf in a small office, the switch connects PCs, printers and a wired phone over its eight Gigabit copper ports.

Lab Or Counter Data Hub

A lab bench or service counter can use the switch to join several wired devices into one local network without any rack hardware.

PoE-Fed Switch At A Remote Desk

Where no AC outlet is nearby, an upstream PoE port can power the switch through port 1 and feed a small cluster of endpoints.

C1200-8T-D is the desktop model of this group: it has 8 copper ports, no dedicated uplinks and 16.0 Gbps of switching, and it can be powered from PoE input on port 1, whereas C1200-8T-E-2G is rack-mountable with 2 Gigabit combo uplinks and 20.0 Gbps. Sites that need uplink ports or a rack mount move to C1200-8T-E-2G. C1200-8T-D has no PoE output budget, so powered phones or cameras need C1200-8P-E-2G with 67W, or C1200-8FP-2G with 120W and an internal AC supply.

Ordering Checklist

  • Power adapter: A power adapter ships with select 8-port and 16-port SKUs that the data sheet does not name; the accessory is PWRADPT-WM-18-xx with the plug code for the destination country. The model uses an external supply unless powered by PoE input on port 1.

Questions & Answers

  • Does C1200-8T-D support Layer 3 routing?

    Yes, C1200-8T-D supports IPv4 and IPv6 static routing, and its feature set also lists Layer 2 switching, VLAN, STP, ACL and QoS. The model has up to 255 active VLANs, and console access is not available on C1200-8T-D.
  • Does C1200-8T-D have a console port?

    No. The RJ-45 console port and the USB Type C console port found on the other Catalyst 1200 models are not present on C1200-8T-D. Initial setup and recovery are done through the web interface over a network port, so reach it from a PC on the same subnet.
  • What CPU and memory does C1200-8T-D have?

    C1200-8T-D has a dual-core ARM CPU running at 1.4 GHz, with 1 GB of DDR4 memory and 512 MB of flash storage. These figures are shared across the Catalyst 1200 platform. The switch runs the Catalyst 1200 Smart Managed software from its on-box web interface.
  • Can two C1200-8T-D switches be stacked into one unit?

    No. The Catalyst 1200 platform lists no stacking, so each C1200-8T-D stays a standalone switch with its own management address. Plan one uplink per switch to the distribution layer, and use static routing for inter-VLAN traffic where needed.
  • What is the MTBF of C1200-8T-D?

    The data sheet lists an MTBF of 3,277,956 (hours) for C1200-8T-D at 25 C. Use it as a planning figure for spares and maintenance windows. The value applies to the switch hardware at that ambient temperature.
