Cisco Catalyst C1200-16T-2G Managed Switch
Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C1200-16T-2G extends the Catalyst 1200 Series portfolio, offering a balance of port density, Layer 3 intelligence, and silent operation for small to medium-sized business networks. Designed for scalable connectivity in offices, retail sites, and branch networks, it delivers non-blocking Gigabit switching, enterprise-grade reliability, and centralized management through Cisco Business Dashboard, mobile app, or on-device web interface.
The C1200-16T-2G provides 16 × 1 GbE downlink ports and 2 × 1 GbE SFP uplinks, supporting Layer 2/3 features such as VLAN, QoS, ACL, and static routing. With 36 Gbps switching capacity and 26.78 Mpps forwarding rate, it enables stable, high-performance data transfer for access and aggregation layers while maintaining a fanless, energy-efficient design.
Compact and rack-mountable, the C1200-16T-2G offers enterprise performance in a quiet, fanless 1U chassis. It is ideal for organizations that require more downlink density than 8-port models but want to retain silent operation and easy management. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, it delivers reliable Layer 3 performance and high network availability for SMB and branch deployments.
