Cisco Catalyst 1000 16-Port Managed Rack Mount Switch

The Cisco C1000-16P-E-2G-L is a managed switch that installs easily in a standard rack and delivers enterprise grade connectivity for offices, retail branches, and classrooms that have outgrown unmanaged hardware.

Sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports give desktops, printers, and servers a fast wired connection, while two dedicated SFP slots provide uplinks to a core switch or to fiber backhaul. Eight of the sixteen ports support PoE Plus and share a 120 watt budget, so you can power wireless access points, IP phones, and security cameras without running additional cabling or purchasing separate injectors.

The switch runs Cisco IOS, allowing experienced administrators to work through a full command line interface, yet it also includes an intuitive browser based dashboard for quick setup and monitoring. VLAN segmentation, quality of service settings, and built in security features help keep traffic organized and critical applications running smoothly.

Because the unit mounts neatly in a 19 inch rack and draws minimal power, it fits well in compact network closets and can join existing Cisco equipment or multivendor environments with little effort. Its combination of reliable hardware, flexible management, and PoE support makes it a practical choice for any site that needs dependable performance and room to grow.
