16-port Gigabit switch with two SFP uplinks

The Cisco Catalyst C1200-16T-2G is a rack-mountable Layer 3 switch built for small to medium business networks. It provides sixteen 10/100/1000Base-T ports and two SFP expansion slots for fiber uplinks. The unit runs on 120 V or 230 V AC power and consumes 18.37 W.

Suited for wired LANs needing Layer 3 routing.

This switch fits environments that require static routing between VLANs without a dedicated router. Buyers needing IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at Power over Ethernet for phones or cameras must select a PoE model instead. The fixed single power supply also makes it unsuitable for sites demanding redundant power inputs.

Two SFP uplink slots for fiber aggregation

The two shared SFP (mini-GBIC) slots accept 1000Base-X transceivers to link switches across floors or buildings. They share bandwidth with two of the RJ-45 ports, so population reduces the copper port count to fourteen active connections.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum power draw the C1200-16T-2G will reach under sustained full load?

The switch draws 18.37 W when all 16 RJ-45 ports and both SFP uplinks are active.

How much heat and fan noise should I expect when the switch runs continuously in a rack?

At 18.37 W total draw the unit produces modest heat; the compact 1.7-inch height leaves little room for large fans, so expect a low but audible airflow sound in a quiet room.

Which cables and transceivers must I already have to use all 16 copper ports and the two SFP uplinks?

You need 16 Cat5e or better patch cords for the RJ-45 ports and two SFP modules — either copper or fibre — for the uplink slots.
