C1300-8FP-2G Description
C1300-8FP-2G is a Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series managed Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch for small access deployments that need eight powered copper ports, two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks, and a Cisco-listed 120W PoE budget.
The practical difference inside the 8-port group is power and power-supply design. C1300-8P-E-2G keeps the same 8-port PoE+ and 2xGE combo layout but lowers the PoE pool to 67W with an external power supply, while C1300-8T-E-2G is the data-only option without a PoE budget.
For quote review, confirm the endpoint wattage total, decide whether each combo uplink will use copper or SFP, include the right regional AC cord, and add the compact rack-mount bracket if the 8-port chassis must sit in a 19-inch rack.

Product Performance
Key Features
The SKU is the full-power 8-port PoE+ model in the Catalyst 1300 2G group, giving more aggregate endpoint power than the 67W C1300-8P-E-2G variant.
Two combo uplinks allow a copper handoff or an SFP fiber handoff, but the copper and SFP side of the same combo position are not counted as two active ports.
Cisco lists C1300-8FP-2G under the internal 100 to 240V AC models, unlike the 8T-E and 8P-E models that use external power supplies.
The fanless design and 268 x 297 x 43.94 mm chassis help fit small wiring rooms, retail back-office cabinets, or wall-adjacent equipment locations.
Catalyst 1300 documentation covers CLI, web UI, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, and SNMP management paths for this switch family.
Cisco lists a 1.5 MB aggregate packet buffer for this PID, keeping the 8-port model aligned with other Catalyst 1300 Gigabit access SKUs.
Application Scenarios
C1300-8FP-2G fits sites with a small number of phones, cameras, readers, or access points where the total powered-device load must stay inside 120W.
The model is useful when the upstream handoff is not fixed yet, because the two Gigabit combo uplinks can be ordered around copper or Cisco-listed SFP media.
Use this SKU for small branch, classroom, retail, or office cabinets where an 8-port fanless Catalyst 1300 switch with internal AC power is easier to place than a 16-port or 24-port chassis.

- In a C1300-8FP-2G vs C1300-8P-E-2G comparison, the key difference is PoE budget and power design: C1300-8FP-2G raises the switch-level budget to 120W and uses internal universal AC.
- The C1300-8FP-2G vs C1300-8T-E-2G difference is powered access; C1300-8T-E-2G keeps the 8-port 2G layout but does not provide a Cisco-listed PoE budget.
- For C1300-8FP-2G vs C1300-16FP-2G, the comparison changes port count and PoE budget because the 16-port model moves to 16 PoE+ ports and 240W.
- The which SKU to order check should start with powered-device count, then confirm whether the uplink handoff needs combo copper/SFP or dedicated Gigabit SFP.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for the 120W 8-port PoE class
Select C1300-8FP-2G when the design needs eight PoE+ access ports and the device power calculation is above the 67W class of C1300-8P-E-2G.
2. Keep 8P-E for lighter endpoint loads
C1300-8P-E-2G is the adjacent choice when eight powered ports are still enough and the aggregate PoE requirement fits within 67W.
3. Use 8T-E only for unpowered endpoints
C1300-8T-E-2G belongs on data-only access quotes where the same 2xGE combo uplink layout is wanted but switch-delivered PoE is not required.
4. Move to 16FP when port count doubles
C1300-16FP-2G is the better fit when the BOM requires 16 powered copper ports or a 240W PoE pool instead of the 8-port 120W design.

Prevents treating eight PoE+ ports as eight simultaneous 30W endpoints |
|
Combo uplinks |
Each uplink position is planned as copper or SFP |
Combo ports allow one active side per position |
|
SFP media |
Cisco-listed 1000 Mbps SFP options match fiber or copper reach |
Keeps the uplink BOM aligned with the Gigabit combo ports |
|
AC and cord |
Internal 100 to 240V AC input and the correct regional cord are captured |
Avoids quoting the external-adapter design used by nearby 8-port E models |
|
Rack mounting |
RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= is included when a 19-inch rack bracket is required |
Cisco lists the compact bracket accessory for 8/12/16-port Catalyst 1300 models |
