C1000‑16T‑2G‑L‑N Managed Rack‑Mountable Gigabit Ethernet Switch – 16× 1 GbE Ports + 2× 1 GbE SFP Uplinks

The Cisco Catalyst C1000‑16T‑2G‑L‑N is a reliable, managed Layer 2 switch designed for small to mid-sized business networks, branch offices, and IoT deployments. Boasting 16 gigabit copper ports and two fiber-compatible 1 GbE SFP uplinks, this rack-mountable switch blends enterprise-grade functionality with plug-and-play simplicity. With flexible management via CLI or web UI, energy-efficient fanless operation, and powerful security and monitoring tools, the C1000‑16T‑2G‑L‑N delivers a robust and silent networking solution in environments like classrooms, workgroups, or retail stores.

Features :

As part of the Catalyst 1000 series, this switch provides foundational enterprise features powered by Cisco IOS software. It supports VLAN segmentation, QoS, ACLs, IGMP snooping, and link aggregation to create efficient, secure, and segmented networks. The inclusion of two SFP ports enables fiber uplinks or aggregation to a core, making it suitable for scalable deployments. With a switching capacity of 36 Gbps and forwarding rate of 26.78 Mpps, the C1000‑16T‑2G‑L‑N keeps network traffic flowing smoothly—even with mixed application loads. Fanless operation ensures near-silent performance, making it ideal for noise-sensitive offices or labs. Management options include SSH/CLI, web browser interface, SNMP, RMON, Telnet, and USB console, offering flexibility for diverse IT skill sets and policies.

Advanced Options :

Security measures such as 802.1X port authentication, ACLs, IP Source Guard, DHCP snooping, and BPDU Guard protect against unauthorized access and attacks. The switch also supports sFlow for traffic analysis and remote diagnostics—simplifying management in branch. Compact and rack-mountable, it supports both desktop and 19″ rack environments using included brackets.
