C1300-16P-2G Description
The C1300-16P-2G is a Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series fanless Layer 3 PoE+ switch for small offices and branch sites that power phones, cameras and access points. Sixteen Gigabit PoE+ ports share a 120W PoE budget, two Gigabit SFP ports carry the uplinks, and the switch moves traffic at 36 Gbps of switching capacity with no fan. Routing covers RIP v2 and policy-based routing without OSPF, and the switch does not support hardware stacking.

Product Performance
Key Features
Each of the 16 copper ports can deliver up to 30W of PoE+, and all of them draw on one 120W pool. Sixteen phones drawing 7W each total 112W and fit inside the pool, while every 30W access point takes a quarter of it.
The two uplinks are dedicated SFP slots rather than combo ports. All 16 copper ports stay free for endpoints. A single-mode run back to the main cabinet takes a GLC-LH-SMD for up to 10 km, and a GLC-SX-MMD covers 550 m on multimode.
With no fan, the switch makes no operating noise, and the body measures 268 x 297 x 43.94 mm at 2.38 kg. That lets it sit in a classroom, a shop or an open-plan office instead of a closed wiring room.
Power comes from an internal 100-240V supply, and the install point needs only an outlet and the power cord that ships in the box. No external adapter has to be mounted beside the switch.
IPv4 and IPv6 traffic routes at wire speed with RIP v2, policy-based routing and a built-in DHCP server. With room for 990 IPv4 routes across up to 128 IP interfaces, traffic between local VLANs can route on the switch instead of the site router.
Time-based PoE turns port power off on a schedule, for example after business hours. Persistent PoE keeps cameras and phones powered while the switch restarts after a firmware upgrade.
Application Scenarios
In a school, the switch sits in a classroom or library cabinet and powers ceiling access points and room phones over PoE+, with no fan noise in a space where people study.
A small warehouse or clinic gathers its IP cameras on the 16 PoE+ ports, and one SFP uplink carries the video over fiber to the recorder in the main network room.
An office with a front desk and a visitor lounge runs its IP phones on a Voice VLAN and gives the lounge access point its own Guest VLAN, both from the same switch.

C1300-16P-2G and C1300-16T-2G share 16 Gigabit copper ports, two 1G SFP uplinks and 36 Gbps, and PoE separates them: C1300-16P-2G powers every port with 30W PoE+ from a 120W budget, while C1300-16T-2G has no PoE output for sites whose devices bring their own power. When the planned PoE load passes 120W, for example eight 30W access points at 240W, C1300-16FP-2G doubles the budget on the same port layout. C1200-16P-2G matches the ports and the 120W budget but routes with up to 32 static routes only, which suits sites whose router handles inter-VLAN routing. None of the three Catalyst 1300 models stacks; designs needing 10G uplinks or a single-IP stack moves to C1300-16P-4X, a C1300 Family 1 model with four 10G SFP+ ports and the same 120W budget.

Ordering Checklist
- Uplink optics: Add a supported 1G SFP such as GLC-SX-MMD (550 m multimode), GLC-LH-SMD (10 km single-mode) or GLC-TE (100 m copper) for each SFP uplink in use. The box ships without optics.
- Rack bracket: Add RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= when the switch goes into a 19-inch rack. Only 24-port and 48-port models ship with 19-inch brackets.
- Power cord option: Leave NO-POWER-CORD off the order unless a cord is sourced locally. With that option selected, the switch arrives with no power cord for its internal supply.
