Overview
The Cisco Catalyst C1300-16T-2G is a Layer 3 managed Gigabit Ethernet switch in Cisco’s Catalyst 1300 Series, purpose-built for small and medium-sized businesses requiring scalable performance, advanced security, and simplified management.
With 16 Gigabit downlinks and 2 SFP uplinks, it provides non-blocking throughput, enhanced Layer 3 capabilities, and enterprise-grade reliability, while maintaining silent fanless operation for modern, noise-sensitive network environments.
The C1300-16T-2G offers 16 × 1 GbE downlink ports and 2 × 1 GbE SFP uplinks, achieving 36 Gbps switching capacity and 26.78 Mpps forwarding rate. It supports full Layer 2/3 functionality - including VLAN segmentation, ACL, QoS, and IPv4/IPv6 static routing - for flexible traffic control and network efficiency.
Designed for SMB access or aggregation layers, it features improved CPU and memory resources over the C1200 series, enabling faster management response and greater reliability under heavy workloads.
Compact yet powerful, the C1300-16T-2G delivers enterprise-grade switching performance in a fanless 1U chassis with an internal power supply. Its two dedicated SFP fiber uplinks provide secure and scalable backbone connectivity, while the Cisco Business Dashboard, mobile app, and on-device web UI make management simple and intuitive.
This model is ideal for small offices, educational institutions, or branch environments needing high-port density, Layer 3 control, and low noise operation.
