Catalyst C1200-16T-2G

The switch is equipped with 16 x 10/100/1000BASE-T downlink ports delivering non-blocking wire-speed Gigabit connectivity to workstations, printers, and servers, plus 2 x 1G SFP (mini-GBIC) fixed uplink ports for flexible copper or fiber backbone expansion. Key performance metrics include a switching capacity of 36 Gbps and a 64-byte forwarding rate of 26.78 million packets per second (Mpps). Platform resources feature 8,000 MAC addresses, 255 active VLANs, up to 32 static IPv4 routes, jumbo frame support up to 9,000 bytes, and a 1.5 MB shared packet buffer. Power consumption is just 18.37 W, drawing from an internal universal  AC power supply (100–240 V). The fanless chassis measuring 268 × 272 × 44 mm (width × depth × height) operates silently in noise-sensitive environments, supports 1U rack-mount desktop or wall installation, and features a reset button plus a USB-C port for local image management and console access.

Advanced security features include IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication, RADIUS integration, SSH/SSL encryption for management traffic, Access Control Lists (ACLs) with up to 512 rules, and DoS attack prevention. The switch supports comprehensive Layer 2 and static Layer 3 routing, including IPv4/IPv6 static routing, 802.1Q VLANs, Voice VLAN, Auto Surveillance VLAN, Link Aggregation (LACP) with up to 8 ports per group, STP/RSTP/MSTP, and IGMP snooping versions 1/2/3.
