C1300-16FP-2G Description
C1300-16FP-2G is a Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series managed Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch for access deployments that need 16 10/100/1000 powered copper ports and 2 Gigabit SFP uplinks.
The procurement point is the full-PoE budget in the 16-port 1G-uplink tier. C1300-16P-2G keeps the same 16-port PoE+ and 2 x 1G SFP layout but provides 120W of PoE, while C1300-16FP-2G raises the available PoE budget to 240W and remains a fanless internal-AC model.
For a clean quote, verify powered-device wattage, SFP media, rack bracket needs, power-cord region, and whether the project needs the 240W full-PoE SKU rather than the lower-budget 16P model.

Key Features
The switch gives buyers 16 PoE+ copper access ports with a Cisco-listed 240W aggregate budget, so endpoint count and endpoint power draw must be checked together.
The uplink side uses 2 x 1G SFP interfaces, keeping this model aligned with Gigabit fiber aggregation instead of the 10G SFP+ 4X variants.
Cisco identifies C1300-16FP-2G as fanless even with the 240W PoE budget, which matters when the switch is installed near users or in a small office rack.
The power plan should account for internal 100 to 240V AC input and the correct regional cord rather than an external power adapter.
Catalyst 1300 Series switches are fixed managed Layer 3 switches running customized Linux OS software, with routing and access-control features for branch and SMB networks.
Cisco documents management through Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, on-box web UI, CLI, and SNMP for the Catalyst 1300 family.
Application Scenarios
C1300-16FP-2G fits branch, classroom, retail, and small office racks where 16 powered copper ports are needed but the design should avoid moving to a 24-port switch.
Use this SKU when phones, cameras, readers, or selected access points exceed the 120W budget of C1300-16P-2G but still fit within a 16-port access design.
The model is appropriate when upstream connectivity is based on 1G SFP optics and the BOM does not require the 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks used by the 4X alternatives.

- In a C1300-16FP-2G vs C1300-16P-2G comparison, the main difference is PoE budget: both use 16 PoE+ access ports and 2 x 1G SFP uplinks, but C1300-16FP-2G provides 240W instead of 120W.
- The C1300-16FP-2G vs C1300-16T-2G difference is powered access; C1300-16T-2G keeps the 16-port and 2 x 1G SFP layout but is data only.
- For C1300-16FP-2G vs C1300-16P-4X, the comparison is uplink tier and PoE budget, because the 4X model has 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks but stays at 120W PoE.
- The which model to choose check should start with endpoint wattage, then confirm whether the uplink requirement is 2 x 1G SFP or 4 x 10G SFP+.
Selection Guide
1. Pick it for the 240W 16-port tier
Choose C1300-16FP-2G when the BOM needs 16 Gigabit PoE+ access ports and the powered-device worksheet fits the Cisco-listed 240W budget.
2. Keep C1300-16P-2G for lower PoE draw
Select C1300-16P-2G only when the same 16-port and 2 x 1G SFP layout is acceptable with a 120W aggregate PoE budget.
3. Use C1300-16T-2G for data-only access
Specify C1300-16T-2G when the site needs 16 Gigabit copper ports and 2 x 1G SFP uplinks but no PoE endpoints are part of the order.
4. Move to C1300-16P-4X for 10G uplinks
Use C1300-16P-4X when aggregation speed is the deciding factor, because it changes the uplink set to 4 x 10G SFP+ while reducing the PoE budget to 120W.
PoE Power Planning
|
Check Item |
Cisco-confirmed Value |
Planning Impact |
|---|---|---|
|
Available PoE |
240W power dedicated to PoE |
The powered-device worksheet must keep the total endpoint draw inside the 16-port full-PoE budget |
|
PoE port count |
16 PoE-capable access ports |
Phones, cameras, readers, and access points can be placed on copper access ports within the aggregate budget |
|
PoE standards |
802.3at PoE+, 802.3af, and Cisco pre-standard PoE |
Endpoint compatibility should be checked against the PoE standard requested by each powered device |
|
Power consumption with PoE |
110V=281.9W; 220V=275.2W |
UPS and circuit sizing should use the powered-switch draw rather than only idle consumption |
|
Heat dissipation |
961.3 BTU/hr |
Thermal planning should reflect PoE load even though Cisco lists the model as fanless |
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
SKU lock |
Confirm C1300-16FP-2G on the purchase line |
Prevents mixing the 240W full-PoE model with the 120W 16P or data-only 16T variants |
|
Endpoint power worksheet |
Total PoE draw stays within 240W |
The switch supports PoE+ on 16 ports but still has one aggregate switch PoE budget |
|
Uplink media |
2 x Gigabit SFP optics or copper SFPs match the handoff |
Keeps the order aligned with 1G SFP uplinks rather than a 10G SFP+ 4X model |
|
Rack mounting |
Compact rack bracket requirement is included when needed |
Cisco lists a compact 19-in. rack-mount bracket for C1000, C1200, and C1300 8-port and 16-port models |
|
Power input |
Internal 100 to 240V AC and regional power cord are correct |
Avoids planning the order around an external adapter or wrong cord option |
|
Operations handoff |
Web UI, CLI, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, or SNMP is the intended management method |
Confirms the management approach before the access switch is deployed |

Got accurate quotes within hours of request. No back-and-forth needed.
Our branch managers across multiple locations all order from Layer23 now.
I was skeptical ordering from a reseller but the product is indistinguishable from direct purchase.
The rain stopped… and the package arrived. It works. That’s all that matters.
The Hiss didn’t get this one. Securely packed and genuine.
