Looking for a switch model information

[James Park]

Hi there,
I'm looking to find out the model information on the Cisco switch I have a top-view picture on. The serial number I have is R9160JC08997. I'm reaching out to see if anyone can help.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

 It does not look like a switch and this serial number is not on Cisco database.

Does the number look like a part number by chance? What device type do you think this is? Wi-fi router, perhaps?
I'm trying to avoid sending out a field tech on this device.

This device seems to be a modem or some old router.

Yes, this is not a serial number either.  Serial numbers start with 3 Letters which is the location and this R9160JC08997

have only one latter.

To decipher the serial number, here's how it is composed. Cisco S/N format is LLLYYWWXXXX. LLL = Location code (i.e. FOC = FoxConn China) YY = Year code (08 = 2004...09=2005...etc...) WW = Week code (weeks 01 to 52) XXXX = Base-34 Alpha Numeric Unique identifier (Includes 0 to 9 & entire alphabet except I & O).

Location codes: CTH --- Celestica - Thailand FOC --- Foxconn - Shenzhen, China JAB --- Jabil - Florida JPE --- Jabil - Malaysia JSH --- Jabil - Shanghai , China TAU --- Solectron - Texas PEN --- Solectron - Malaysia

Year codes: 01 = 1997 02 = 1998 03 = 1999 04 = 2000 05 = 2001 06 = 2002 07 = 2003 08 = 2004 09 = 2005 10 = 2006 11 = 2007 12 = 2008 13 = 2009 14 = 2010 15 = 2011 16 = 2012 17 = 2013 18 = 2014

1) your image is very unclear, if taken from the side of the ethernetports it might sho some meaningfull detail
2) you blacked-out some important information in the middle of the image ? the label here might conatin some useful information
    of course I understand you remove passwords wifi-keys etc.
3) did you check the bottom of the device ? ther may be another label ?
4) If this serial number is not Cisco, this could be a Cisco rebranded Linksys device?
