C1200-8T-E-2G Description
The C1200-8T-E-2G is a Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series managed access switch for small offices and shop back rooms that connect data-only Gigabit endpoints. The switch has eight 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports with no PoE output, two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks and 20 Gbps of switching capacity in a fanless chassis fed by an external supply. Layer 3 is static routing only, up to 32 IPv4/IPv6 routes, so routing protocols remain on an upstream router.

Product Performance
Key Features
Each of the two uplinks pairs an RJ-45 port with a Gigabit SFP slot, and only one side of the pair is active at a time. A fiber run can therefore use GLC-SX-MMD for up to 550 m on multimode or GLC-LH-SMD for up to 10 km on single-mode, while the other uplink stays on copper.
The switch has no fan and draws at most 10.63W at 110V, releasing 36.33 BTU/hr of heat. That makes it workable on an open shelf or in a small cabinet where fan noise or heat would be a problem.
Up to 32 static routes across 16 IP interfaces let the switch route between local VLANs at wire speed, with DHCP relay passing address requests to a server on another subnet.
Application Scenarios
In a small office, the switch connects desktop PCs, printers and a file server over its eight Gigabit ports and links to the office router through one of its combo uplinks.
A retail store can wire its point-of-sale terminals and the back-office PC to the switch and keep the payment devices on a VLAN of their own.
Where a classroom or library is cabled to the main building over fiber, a 1G SFP in one combo uplink terminates the run, and the fanless chassis stays quiet inside the room.

C1200-8T-E-2G and C1200-8P-E-2G share eight Gigabit ports, two combo uplinks and 20 Gbps of switching, but C1200-8T-E-2G is data only, while C1200-8P-E-2G supplies PoE+ from a 67W budget for phones, access points or cameras powered from the switch. When eight copper ports are not enough, C1200-16T-2G doubles them to 16 with 36 Gbps of switching, although its two uplinks are SFP slots rather than combo ports. Every Catalyst 1200 model in the table stops at 32 static routes. Sites that exchange routes with a neighbor router need C1300-8T-E-2G, which keeps the same port layout and fanless chassis but adds RIP v2 and policy-based routing with up to 990 routes.
Ordering Checklist
- Rack bracket: Add RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= when the switch will sit in a 19-in. rack. Only 24-port and 48-port Catalyst 1200 models ship with 19-in. brackets, so an 8-port order without it arrives with no rack hardware.
- Uplink optics: Add a supported 1G SFP such as GLC-SX-MMD, GLC-LH-SMD or GLC-TE for each combo uplink that will run on an SFP. The package contains only the switch, power cord or adapter, mounting kit and pointer card.
