Catalyst 1000 16-Port PoE+ Switch

The Cisco Catalyst C1000-16P-2G-L is a rack-mountable managed switch delivering sixteen Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and two SFP uplink slots. It runs Cisco IOS with an on-box web UI for simplified configuration and monitoring. The unit supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards to power access points, IP phones, or cameras directly from the switch. Small to mid-sized businesses gain Layer 2 features including VLAN, IGMP snooping, and spanning tree in a compact 1U form factor.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Verify that your rack provides a standard 1U opening measuring at least 1.7 inches in height and 11.7 inches in depth for proper airflow. Confirm the site can supply the 136.92 W maximum power draw through an appropriate circuit and outlet type. Ensure SFP transceivers match the 1000Base-X uplink requirement if fiber links are planned. Validate that existing cabling meets Cat 5e or better specifications for 10/100/1000Base-T connectivity across all sixteen ports.

Upgrade Path From Legacy Switches

This model replaces unmanaged or entry-level managed switches that lack PoE+ budgets or SFP uplinks for fiber aggregation. The jump is worthwhile when you need to power sixteen endpoints without separate injectors and require Cisco IOS resilience with access-control tables larger than prior generations. It does not serve buyers who need 10 Gbps uplinks, forty-eight port density, or Layer 3 routing capabilities beyond the supported Layer 2 feature set.

Questions about this item

Does the C1000-16P-2G-L ship with SFP modules for the two uplink slots, or must they be purchased separately?

The switch includes 16 PoE+ RJ-45 ports and two empty SFP uplink slots; SFP transceivers are not supplied and must be sourced separately.

How does the 136.92 W power budget across 16 PoE+ ports compare with the C1000-16FP-2G-L model?

The C1000-16P-2G-L provides a 136.92 W PoE budget, while the FP variant raises the budget so more ports can run at full 802.3at power simultaneously.

What does the 10240-byte jumbo frame limit mean for a storage or backup VLAN running on this switch?

Frames up to 10240 bytes pass through without fragmentation, reducing CPU overhead on NAS or backup traffic that uses 9 K MTU.
