Hi,

Usually, smaller switches (8-12 ports) don't come with redundant PSUs. See table-2 in this link:

With redundant PS?  None. 

Why?  Because 12-port switch are classified as "compact" category and no one can build a compact switch with redundant power supplies.

i'm interested with these Cisco C1000-8T-2G-L Catalyst 1000 Series Switch and C2960CX-8TC-L 8 Port which one is better?

[Leo Laohoo]

2960C is old and will be replaced by the Catalyst 1000. 
Catalyst 2960C and Catalyst 1000 operates on the same "classic" IOS.  
Like the 2960C, Catalyst 1000 does not have redundant PS.

Thanks for the info i think i'll choose catalyst 1000. are catalyst 1000 support dna center? i want to manage with my catalyst 9200

[Leo Laohoo]

DNAC will never support Catalyst 1000.  

[dpsw120]

oww oke thank you.

[Leo Laohoo]

If you are looking for an 8- or 12 port switch and can be "managed" by DNAC, then look at 9200CX. 

If you are looking for an 8 port switch with a stable IOS, then it is Catalyst 1000.  

[dpsw120]

9200CX it's a good option but i don't know if it's available in my country, i will check to my seller.

As Leo also noted, the C1000 is a newer generation but has the same issue with PSUs. Also, a redundant power supply does not mean much if you connect 2 PSUs to the same power source.

why i would use 2 psu to the same power source? it doesn't make sense and that's not my goal. i have solution for single source devices but it would be great if i don't have to do that, but if no switch 8 to 12 port that support redundant power supply i should do my solution.
