Cisco Catalyst 1300-16FP-2G - Managed Gigabit Ethernet switch, White

The Cisco Catalyst 1300-16FP-2G is a 16-port Gigabit managed PoE switch featuring two Gigabit SFP uplink ports. It functions as a Layer 2/3 platform for LAN segmentation and hardware connectivity. The switch provides 16 RJ-45 ports that support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), alongside two SFP slots for 1G modules. It offers a total switching capacity of 36 Gbit/s and a forwarding rate of 26.78 Mpps. Hardware-based Layer 3 static routing is included to support the connectivity needs of IP telephones, access points, and workstations.

The unit is housed in a metal chassis designed for standard rack mounting. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for open-plan offices or other noise-sensitive environments. Configuration is possible remotely via a secure web interface or locally using RJ-45 and USB Type-C console ports. Management features include Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritisation and support for up to 4,093 active VLANs. The switch also supports stacking, allowing up to eight units to be managed as a single logical entity.

• Access Control List (ACL) support for up to 1,024 rules.
• 16,000-entry MAC address table for high-density environments.
• ARM dual-core 1.4 GHz processor and 1 GB of DDR4 memory.
• Jumbo frame support (up to 9,000 bytes) for large file transfers and backup operations.
• Up to 128 configurable IP interfaces for routing and subnetworks.
• Security features including ARP inspection and MAC address filtering to manage local traffic and restrict unauthorised access.
