Cisco C1000-8T-2G-L – 8-Port Gigabit Managed Switch with 2× Gigabit Uplinks (Lifetime License)

Cisco C1000-8T-2G-L Catalyst 1000 8-Port Gigabit Managed Switch

The Cisco C1000-8T-2G-L is a compact Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series managed Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small businesses, branch offices, workspaces, IoT deployments, and access-layer network environments. It provides 8 × 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 data ports and 2 × 1G SFP/RJ45 combo uplink interfaces in a compact fanless chassis.

The two uplink interfaces provide flexible connectivity because each uplink position can accommodate either a compatible 1G SFP module or an RJ45 connection. This makes the C1000-8T-2G-L suitable for networks that require either copper or fiber Gigabit uplinks without moving to a larger switch platform.

Key Features of Cisco C1000-8T-2G-L

• 8 × 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports
• 2 × 1G SFP/RJ45 combo uplink interfaces
• Non-PoE design for data networking applications
• Fanless operation for quiet deployment
• Cisco IOS-based managed switching
• Layer 2 enterprise networking features
• RJ45 console access
• SNMP and web-based management support
• Compact chassis suitable for space-constrained installations

Technical Specifications

Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity

The C1000-8T-2G-L provides 8 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 data ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connectivity. These ports can connect computers, printers, IP devices, servers, access points, IoT equipment, and other compatible Ethernet devices.

Flexible 1G Combo Uplinks

The switch features 2 × 1G SFP/RJ45 combo uplinks. Each combo interface provides the flexibility to use a compatible Gigabit SFP module or an RJ45 copper connection. The exact SFP module and fiber configuration should be selected according to the required distance, fiber type, and network design.

Fanless Compact Design

The C1000-8T-2G-L uses a fanless design, making it suitable for locations where low acoustic noise is important. Its compact 10.56 × 7.28 × 1.73-inch form factor allows installation in space-constrained network cabinets, offices, wiring areas, and other deployments outside a conventional data center.

Managed Layer 2 Networking

The Catalyst 1000 Series is designed as an enterprise-class Layer 2 access switching platform. The C1000-8T-2G-L supports network management through Cisco IOS software, CLI, web-based management, SNMP, and other supported management methods.

Network Management and Security

Supported Catalyst 1000 capabilities include features such as VLAN management, QoS, 802.1X authentication, port security, SPAN, BPDU Guard, and other enterprise access-layer controls. The exact feature availability depends on the Cisco IOS software release and configuration.

Non-PoE Configuration

The C1000-8T-2G-L is a non-PoE model. It is intended primarily for data connectivity rather than powering PoE endpoints. For deployments requiring power delivery to compatible access points, IP phones, cameras, or other PoE devices, a PoE-equipped Catalyst 1000 model should be selected instead.

Applications

• Small business network access
• Branch office networking
• Office Ethernet connectivity
• IoT network deployments
• Out-of-wiring-closet installations
• Compact network cabinets
• Gigabit copper access networks
• Fiber or copper Gigabit uplink applications
• Legacy Cisco Catalyst network expansion and replacement projects

Warranty and License Consideration

Cisco documentation identifies the Catalyst 1000 Series with an enhanced limited lifetime warranty (E-LLW). The term “Lifetime License” may be used by sellers to describe licensing or product packaging, but it should not be confused with Cisco's hardware warranty terminology. Customers should confirm the exact license entitlement and warranty terms included with the supplied unit.
