Inquiry on Replacement for CBS350-8S-E-2G-EU

[inosh]

I have a customer requirement for the CBS350-8S-E-2G-EU. However, since it is not available for sale currently, I was considering the C1300-12XS as a replacement.

The customer's other end devices use a 100Base fiber connection with MGBLX1 SFP modules. Could you please confirm if the C1300-12XS would be compatible in this case, or if you would recommend a different solution?

  When you say 100Base SFP, do you mean 100Mbps? if so, then, the switch is ok but if 100Gbps then not.

Cisco Catalyst 1K or go to Meraki Switches depends on budget.

Is there any model in C1000 series that suitable for CBS350-8S. I referred datasheets also. But I couldn't find any device that compatible for it

Are you looking some one to read the document for you.

CBS350-8S  - compare the same datasheet, you wont be able to get 100% match, if you looking only apple to apple and that too 100MB connection with SFP. (what i read from the post)

Contact Local Cisco sales person can guide you better, if you not able to spend time for reading. this is tech Community not sales forum.

Thank you so much for your valuable support. I have thoroughly reviewed all the documents for the CBS350, C1000, C1200, and C1300 series, but I couldn’t find a compatible device for the CBS350-8S. Even the end-of-life documents didn’t list any suitable devices, which is why I reached out to you for assistance. Based on my research, I selected the C1300-12XS as the closest match. However, I would like to confirm if this can be used as a replacement for the CBS350-8S or if there is a more suitable, less costly option that I may have overlooked, especially since the C1300-12XS supports 10G while my requirement is for a 100 Mbps link speed. Your guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
