C1000-8P-2G-L - Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches

Budget 67 watts across eight PoE-capable access ports

Cisco C1000-8P-2G-L provides eight 10/100/1000 PoE+ access ports with a total PoE budget of 67 W. The 67 W figure is shared across powered devices, not an allowance for every port. Add the intended endpoint loads and check their required PoE behavior before approving this switch.

Keep the 8P and full-PoE orders distinct

The separately named C1000-8FP-2G-L has a 120 W budget in the same official table. That value must not be assigned to this 67 W 8P model. A higher endpoint count or changed device load calls for a fresh budget calculation rather than assuming all eight devices can draw their maximum simultaneously.

Use two combo uplinks without double-counting sockets

Two 1-Gigabit uplinks provide SFP or RJ45 connector options. Plan them as two combo interfaces rather than four separate uplinks. Cisco identifies the model as fanless; it also lists the externally powered C1000-8P-E-2G-L separately, so preserve the exact PID when checking power accessories and placement.

Retirement and replacement require a power review

Cisco lists this exact PID as end of sale on April 30, 2025, with final support on April 30, 2030 subject to entitlement. The named migration product is C1300-8P-E-2G, an externally powered PoE model. Recheck its documented power budget, adapter, management features and configuration compatibility independently; the migration listing is not a drop-in compatibility promise.
