C1300-16P-4X Description
The C1300-16P-4X is a Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series managed Layer 3 PoE+ switch for small offices and branch cabinets that need 10G uplinks from a 16-port access switch. Sixteen Gigabit PoE+ ports draw on a 120W PoE budget, while four 10G SFP+ uplinks and 112 Gbps of nonblocking switching sit in a fanless chassis. The 120W pool runs four ports at the full 30W at once, and routing covers static routes, RIP v2 and policy-based routing but not OSPF.

Product Performance
Key Features
Each port is rated for 30W of PoE+, but all 16 share one 120W budget. Four access points at the full 30W use the whole pool, so the planned mix of devices, not the port count, sets the limit.
The uplinks take 10G SFP+ optics such as SFP-10G-SR for 26 to 400 m on multimode or SFP-10G-LR for 10 km on single-mode. For a rack-to-rack run, a copper coax or active optical cable from 1 m to 10 m replaces a pair of optics.
Up to eight C1300 Family 1 switches, including the 24- and 48-port 10G-uplink models, operate as one system with a single IP address and hardware failover. Stack links run over the SFP+ ports; a port set up for stacking carries no user traffic, so each one used for the stack is one fewer 10G uplink.
The switch has no fan and measures 268 x 297 x 43.94 mm at 2.49 kg. Without fan noise it can be installed outside the wiring closet, in a classroom, a shop or an open-plan office.
Worst-case draw rises from 24.7W without PoE to 157.6W at 110V with the PoE budget in use. The switch then gives off 537.4 BTU/hr, a figure for small cabinets with limited ventilation and for sizing the UPS behind it.
IPv4 and IPv6 traffic routes at wire speed with static routes, RIP v2 and policy-based routing, and the switch can run a DHCP server for local subnets. Traffic between office VLANs can therefore route on the switch instead of the site router.
Application Scenarios
In a small branch office, the switch sits in the network cabinet, powers IP phones and an access point from its PoE+ ports and links to the site router over a 10G SFP+ uplink.
Schools and offices can mount the fanless unit in the room it serves, where it feeds a ceiling access point and desk phones without adding fan noise to the space.
A retail store powers its IP cameras from the PoE+ ports in a back-room cabinet, and Voice VLAN keeps the till-side phones in their own segment on the same switch.

C1300-16P-4X and C1300-16P-2G share 16 Gigabit PoE+ ports and 120W, but C1300-16P-4X adds four 10G SFP+ uplinks, 112 Gbps of switching and Family 1 stacking, against two 1G SFP uplinks, 36 Gbps and no stacking on C1300-16P-2G. The 1G model fits a standalone switch whose site handoff is 1G fiber. When the PoE load passes 120W, for example five 30W access points, C1300-16FP-2G doubles the budget to 240W but keeps 1G uplinks and cannot stack. Cabinets that need more than 16 powered ports with the same 10G uplinks move to C1300-24P-4X, which carries 195W and joins the same Family 1 stack. OSPF routing requires a Catalyst 1300X model such as C1300X-24P-4X.

Ordering Checklist
- Stack cabling: Add an SFP+ direct-attach cable such as SFP-H10GB-CU1M or SFP-H10GB-CU3M for each stack link when the switch joins a Family 1 stack. Stacking runs only over 10G links, and no cables ship in the box.
- Uplink optics: Add a 10G SFP+ module such as SFP-10G-SR for multimode or SFP-10G-LR for 10 km single-mode on each uplink that will carry traffic. The switch ships without optics.
- Rack bracket: Add RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= if 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 cords are sourced locally. With that option selected, the switch arrives without a cord for its internal supply.
