Cisco C1200-8P-E-2G Catalyst 1200 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Managed Switch
The Cisco C1200-8P-E-2G is an 8-port Gigabit managed PoE+
switch from the Cisco Catalyst 1200 Series, designed for
small and medium-sized businesses, branch offices, retail environments,
classrooms, surveillance deployments, wireless networks, and compact
enterprise installations. It combines 8 × 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+
ports with 2 × Gigabit RJ-45/SFP combo uplink
interfaces.
The switch provides a dedicated 67W PoE budget for powering
compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras,
and other IEEE 802.3af/at-powered endpoints. Cisco specifies up to
30W per Gigabit Ethernet port, subject to the total
available PoE budget.
The two Gigabit combo interfaces provide additional flexibility for uplinks.
Each combo interface can operate through either its RJ-45 copper connection
or its SFP interface, allowing the network administrator to choose copper or
compatible fiber connectivity according to the deployment.

8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Connectivity
The C1200-8P-E-2G provides eight 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 PoE+
ports for connecting computers, IP phones, wireless access points,
IP cameras, and other Ethernet devices. The ports support automatic
Gigabit Ethernet speed and duplex negotiation for convenient deployment.
67W PoE+ Power Budget
The switch provides a total 67W PoE budget. Its PoE-capable
ports support IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at devices, with Cisco specifying
up to 30W to an individual Gigabit Ethernet port until the
switch's available PoE budget is reached.
The actual number of simultaneously powered devices depends on their
individual power requirements and the total 67W available PoE budget.
Therefore, high-power PoE+ devices should be planned according to their
specified power consumption.
2x Gigabit RJ-45/SFP Combo Uplinks
Two 1G RJ-45/SFP combo interfaces provide flexible uplink
connectivity. Each combo interface can be used through either the Gigabit
copper RJ-45 connection or a compatible Gigabit SFP connection.
The copper and SFP sides of a combo interface are alternative connectivity
options rather than independent ports that can both be used simultaneously.
Compatible Cisco-supported SFP transceivers should be selected according to
the required fiber type and transmission distance.
20 Gbps Switching Performance
The C1200-8P-E-2G delivers 20 Gbps switching capacity and
up to 14.88 Mpps forwarding performance. Cisco specifies
the Catalyst 1200 platform with wire-speed, nonblocking switching, making
this model suitable for simultaneous Gigabit traffic across its ports.
Managed Cisco Networking Features
The Catalyst 1200 platform provides managed network configuration,
monitoring, segmentation, security, and traffic-control capabilities.
Features include VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol, link aggregation,
Quality of Service, port security, IGMP snooping, and other enterprise
switching functions.
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Networking
Cisco Catalyst 1200 switches support a broad range of Layer 2 networking
functions together with selected Layer 3 capabilities. Supported
functionality includes 802.1Q VLANs, voice VLAN, guest VLAN, STP/RSTP/MSTP,
LACP, QoS, IPv4/IPv6 networking, and static routing features.
Fanless Rack-Mountable Design
The C1200-8P-E-2G uses a fanless design and compact chassis,
making it suitable for installations where low operating noise is desirable.
Cisco specifies dimensions of approximately 10.56 × 12.73 × 1.73
inches and a weight of approximately 1.55 kg.
Enterprise and Small Business Applications
- Small and medium-sized business networks
- IP phone and VoIP deployments
- Wireless access point connectivity
- IP surveillance camera networks
- Retail and point-of-sale environments
- Branch office network infrastructure
- Classroom and educational networks
- Compact enterprise access-layer deployments
- Gigabit copper and fiber uplink networks
Compatibility
The RJ-45 interfaces support standard 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet
connectivity. PoE-powered devices should comply with supported IEEE
802.3af/at standards and remain within the switch's 67W total PoE budget.
The combo uplinks can use compatible Gigabit SFP transceivers for fiber
connectivity or their corresponding RJ-45 copper interfaces.
Important Model Comparison
The C1200-8P-E-2G provides a 67W PoE budget. It should not
be confused with the C1200-8FP-2G, which provides a higher
120W PoE budget while retaining 8 Gigabit PoE+ ports and 2 Gigabit
RJ-45/SFP combo uplinks.
