12-port desktop switch

The Juniper Networks EX2200-C-12T-2G provides twelve RJ45 ports rated at 10/100/1000Mbps for wired Ethernet connectivity. Its desktop form factor suits small offices or branch locations that need a compact, fanless unit. The switch requires no configuration for basic operation. Buyers needing Power over Ethernet or fibre uplinks should look elsewhere.

Sustained load behaviour

Each port negotiates speed independently so mixed 10, 100 and 1000Mbps devices share the backplane without blocking. The non-blocking architecture forwards frames at wire rate across all twelve ports simultaneously. No built-in QoS or traffic shaping is present so congestion management relies on upstream equipment.

Upgrade context

The unit replaces older 10/100Mbps desktop switches where gigabit uplinks were limited to one or two ports. It adds full gigabit capacity on every port for workstations, printers and access points. The jump is worth it when existing cabling supports 1000Mbps and the network core can absorb the extra throughput.
