Cisco Catalyst 1300 C1300-16T-2G - Managed switch, White

The Cisco Catalyst C1300-16T-2G is a managed Layer 2/3 Gigabit switch designed for corporate local area networks. Administrators can connect endpoints, such as desktop computers and access points, using its 16 Gigabit RJ-45 ports. With a total switching capacity of 36 Gbit/s, the device handles simultaneous traffic without hardware bottlenecks. This non-PoE model allows for precise data flow control and network segmentation, and it is designed to maintain performance under heavy daily workloads.

The rack-mountable, white metal chassis fits standard 19-inch network cabinets. The administration interface supports local web-based configuration, secure command-line access, and centralized cloud management. Traffic controls include Quality of Service (QoS), Access Control Lists (ACL), and extensive VLAN support for isolating user groups. Static IP routing allows the switch to direct traffic locally without relying on an external gateway router. The fanless design ensures silent operation, making the unit suitable for noise-sensitive environments, such as open-plan offices.
