C1300-8P-E-2G Description
The C1300-8P-E-2G is a Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series compact Layer 3 PoE+ switch for small offices, shops and classrooms that power a few low-draw endpoints. Eight Gigabit PoE+ ports, each rated at 30W, draw from one 67W budget, while two Gigabit copper/SFP combo ports carry the uplink and the fanless chassis switches 20 Gbps. Power comes from an external 100-240V supply rather than a built-in one, and the 67W pool runs only two ports at the full 30W at the same time.

Product Performance
Key Features
Every port can deliver up to 30W of PoE+, and all eight draw from the same 67W budget. The budget, not the port count, sets the limit: the rated draw of phones, cameras and access points has to be added up before they share one switch.
Each of the two uplink positions pairs an RJ-45 port with an SFP slot, and only one side is active at a time. A fiber run to the main cabinet takes a 1G SFP such as GLC-LH-SMD for 10 km on single-mode, while a short copper handoff uses the RJ-45 side.
The chassis has no fan, measures 268 x 185 x 43.94 mm and weighs 1.72 kg. Without fan noise, the switch can be installed in a shop, a classroom or an open-plan office rather than a wiring closet.
The switch runs from an external 100-240V supply, not an internal one. The install point therefore needs room and an outlet for the adapter, and with every PoE port loaded the worst-case draw reaches 87.89W at 110V.
IPv4 and IPv6 traffic routes at wire speed, with RIP v2 for dynamic routes, policy-based routing and a built-in DHCP server. The table holds 990 IPv4 routes across up to 128 IP interfaces, and traffic between local VLANs can route on the switch instead of the site router.
Persistent PoE keeps phones and cameras powered while the switch restarts after a firmware upgrade. Time-based PoE can switch port power off on a schedule, for example outside opening hours.
Application Scenarios
At a small office front desk, the switch powers IP phones and a ceiling access point from its PoE+ ports, and Voice VLAN keeps the phone traffic in its own segment.
A retail store mounts the fanless unit in a back-room cabinet to power IP cameras, and an SFP in one combo port carries the fiber link to the main network cabinet.
Clinics and offices with a visitor waiting room run the guest access point from one PoE+ port, while a Guest VLAN keeps visitor devices apart from staff traffic.

C1300-8P-E-2G and C1300-8T-E-2G share eight Gigabit ports, two combo uplinks and an external supply, and PoE separates them: C1300-8P-E-2G feeds 30W PoE+ to all eight ports from a 67W budget. C1300-8T-E-2G has no PoE output and fits sites where every device has its own power. When the planned PoE load passes 67W, for example three 30W access points, C1300-8FP-2G carries 120W on the same port layout and moves the supply inside the chassis. C1200-8P-E-2G matches the ports, the 67W budget and 20 Gbps 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, so a site that needs a single-IP stack moves to a C1300 Family 1 model such as C1300-8MGP-2X.

Ordering Checklist
- Combo 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 combo port that will use its SFP slot. No optics ship in the box.
- 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 power is sourced separately. The box then includes the power cord, or a power adapter on select 8-port models, and this switch has no internal supply.
