The Cisco Catalyst 1300 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch (C1300-8T-E-2G) is a Layer 2 network device designed for segmenting corporate traffic and connecting wired hardware. This rack-mountable unit features eight Gigabit RJ-45 ports and does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). It offers a 20 Gbit/s switching capacity, allowing for concurrent data transfers across all ports. The switch has a forwarding rate of 14.88 Mpps, ensuring consistent performance under load. Two combo SFP ports are included for fibre uplink expansion.

Administrators can configure the device via a web-based interface or the command-line interface using the integrated RJ-45/USB Type-C console port. The fanless design ensures silent operation, making the unit suitable for quiet office environments. Security and traffic management are supported through access control lists (ACLs) and up to 4093 active VLANs. Quality of Service (QoS) allows for the prioritisation of latency-sensitive traffic, such as voice or video streams. The unit is powered by an AC supply and consumes a maximum of 12.56 watts under full load.
