# Cisco C1200-8T-E-2G

Plan a Catalyst 1200 installation around C1200-8T-E-2G: 8 x 1gbe rj45, with 2 x 1gbe copper/sfp shared pairs. Build the port map around the required media and link speed before choosing optics or cables. ASTER RACKIT can use the complete model identifier, rack requirements and accessory list to prepare a configuration enquiry. Confirm the supplied revision and entitlements separately.
