About the Cisco C1300-8FP-2G 8-Port Compact Managed Switch

```html

The Cisco C1300-8FP-2G is a compact managed switch engineered for enterprise branch offices, retail deployments, and distributed network nodes requiring reliable Layer 2 switching with integrated power delivery. This 8-port managed switch (SKU-CISCOC13008FP2GCOMPACTMANAGEDSWITC) delivers 128 Gbps switching capacity and 95.2 Mpps forwarding rate in a form factor small enough for space-constrained server rooms or wall-mount installations. Each of the eight gigabit Ethernet ports supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) with a combined 120W budget, enabling simultaneous connectivity and power supply to multiple PoE-dependent devices including wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP endpoints. The switch combines managed capabilities—web GUI, CLI, and SNMP support—with fanless, energy-efficient operation, making it suitable for organisations seeking deterministic network control without the complexity or footprint of larger modular platforms.

Key Features

  • 8 Gigabit Ethernet Ports with PoE: All eight ports operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps and deliver Power over Ethernet, eliminating the need for separate power injectors on compatible devices.
  • 120W PoE Power Budget: Sufficient power allocation to support multiple high-power devices such as enterprise-grade access points or PTZ IP cameras on the same switch.
  • 128 Gbps Switching Capacity: Non-blocking throughput ensures full-duplex communication across all ports without congestion bottlenecks.
  • 95.2 Mpps Forwarding Rate: High packet-forwarding performance maintains low latency for time-sensitive applications including VoIP and real-time data synchronisation.
  • Compact Desktop/Rack-Mountable Form Factor: Dimensions of 220 x 150 x 40 mm allow flexible deployment on shelves, in network cabinets, or mounted near edge infrastructure without occupying significant rack space.
  • Multiple Management Interfaces: Web GUI, command-line interface (CLI), and SNMP support enable remote monitoring, configuration, and integration with network management platforms.
  • Internal AC Power Supply: Single 100-240V AC input supports global deployment across GCC, Asia, and European regions without regional power adapters.
  • Fanless, Silent Operation: No moving parts reduce noise in office and retail environments and minimise maintenance requirements.

Typical Use Cases

  • Branch Office Network Access: Provides centralised, managed connectivity for distributed enterprise branches requiring PoE support for access points, desk phones, and security cameras without on-site IT complexity.
  • Retail Point-of-Sale and Surveillance: Delivers simultaneous power and data to multiple IP cameras, card readers, and wireless terminals in retail and hospitality environments where wall-mount or under-counter installation is essential.
  • Small Data Centre Edge Nodes: Supports top-of-rack switching for compact server clusters, network appliances, or hyperconverged infrastructure deployments in co-location facilities with limited space allocation.
  • Distributed AI Lab Infrastructure: Connects compute nodes, GPU servers, and storage arrays in small-scale machine learning labs or inference clusters requiring deterministic Layer 2 switching and centralised management visibility.
  • Managed Wireless Deployment: Powers and connects multiple enterprise-class wireless access points across large floor plates or multi-story buildings, with centralised PoE management and per-port monitoring.
  • IoT and Industrial Automation: Supplies reliable Layer 2 switching and PoE delivery to networked sensors, industrial cameras, and edge controllers in manufacturing and logistics environments.

The C1300-8FP-2G stands out for combining managed switching intelligence with universal PoE delivery in an exceptionally compact footprint—a rare combination at this price point that eliminates the need for separate power infrastructure. Omnixon Global stocks this SKU and can source additional units for UAE and GCC customers, with support for regional logistics to Asia and European sites.
