C1000-8FP-E-2G-L - Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches

Choose FP for the documented 120 W power budget

Cisco C1000-8FP-E-2G-L provides eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports with 120 W of total PoE power and an external supply arrangement. The ordinary 8P-E order has 67 W instead. The complete FP-E identifier is therefore material to both the endpoint power plan and the power-accessory check.

Full-PoE naming does not replace a load calculation

Reserve power using the requirements of the actual connected equipment. The official 120 W figure is an aggregate pool, not a per-port rating, and does not establish that any eight devices can operate at their maximum simultaneously. Document the expected load before treating this model as a power-capacity upgrade.

Two shared-media Gigabit uplinks and fanless cooling

The exact hardware description lists two 1-Gigabit SFP or RJ45 uplinks, implemented as combo connections, and the data sheet marks the model as fanless. Select one media plan for each uplink and validate the supported optics where required. Obtain the external adapter and cord details from the quotation rather than inferring their presence from a family photograph.

Follow the exact migration PID, including its changed suffix

Cisco names C1300-8FP-2G as the migration reference for C1000-8FP-E-2G-L. The successor identifier is not a character-for-character continuation of FP-E, so independently verify its physical power arrangement and accessories. The C1000 end-of-sale date was April 30, 2025, with final support on April 30, 2030 subject to applicable entitlement; the migration row alone does not establish software or accessory compatibility.
