WS-C2940-8TT-S is a fanless, managed Layer 2 desktop switch with eight 10/100Mbps access ports and one fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T copper uplink. The Catalyst 2940 serves small workgroups outside the wiring closet, including classrooms and conference rooms. The Ethernet ports supply no PoE, so connected endpoints require separate power. Cisco IOS provides the embedded switching software, while an all-metal enclosure houses the standalone hardware. The discontinued WS-C2940-8TF-S sibling instead offers a 100BASE-FX connection or a Gigabit SFP slot, with only one uplink active at a time. The Cisco Catalyst 2940-8TT configuration includes security lock slots for securing the enclosure in an accessible workspace.

3.6 Gbps maximum forwarding bandwidth defines the standalone switching limit, while 2.7 Mpps wire-speed forwarding handles 64-byte packets. 8000 MAC addresses set the learned-address ceiling for connected endpoints and upstream devices. WS-C2940-8TT-S carries 16 MB DRAM and 8 MB flash memory for its embedded software and saved configuration. Four egress queues per port use WRR and strict-priority scheduling to control competing traffic classes. IGMP snooping and immediate-leave processing restrict multicast distribution to requesting receivers; Multicast VLAN Registration makes a multicast stream available across separate subscriber VLANs. The 255-group multicast limit should be checked against the receiver configuration. 15W maximum consumption gives the electrical load to include when sizing local power provision. The autoranging internal supply accepts 100-240V AC at 50-60Hz. The switching engine does not provide IP routing, so inter-VLAN traffic must pass to another device. Operation must remain within 0°C to 45°C, and the 1.36 kg chassis requires a mounting surface capable of carrying that load.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C2940-8TT-S in new sealed and certified refurbished condition, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units, up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, clean boot, PSU status, and rated-speed links on every Ethernet port. Specify the condition and quantity for this switch on the purchase order. Enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance, government Net-30, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock/RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When an existing workgroup requires a switch mounted away from a cabinet, the Catalyst 2940 supports wall, tabletop, and under-desk placement using underside mounting slots, supplied screws, or the included magnet. Specify the mounting surface and verify that the required mounting hardware is included with the ordered condition.
When several existing workgroup switches need a shared management workflow, Cisco Cluster Management Suite groups 16 switches under one IP address. The browser-based Java interface supports configuration cloning and multidevice changes. Specify cluster membership and verify the management workstation's browser and Java compatibility before releasing the purchase order.
When a replacement must join an existing VLAN environment, confirm the installed software before importing configuration. Original Catalyst 2940 software supports four VLANs; later software supports 128 VLANs with 64 PVST+ instances. Check the VLAN count and spanning-tree design, and specify the required software capabilities before the purchase order.
PoE for phones or cameras
WS-C2940-8TT-S supplies no PoE on its Ethernet ports. Connected phones, cameras, and access points require their own power; Ethernet connectivity alone does not deliver endpoint power.
Gigabit Ethernet on every access port
WS-C2940-8TT-S limits its eight access ports to 10/100Mbps. Only the copper uplink supports Gigabit speed, so the access connections cannot meet an all-Gigabit endpoint requirement.
Direct fiber uplink connectivity
WS-C2940-8TT-S has only a copper RJ-45 uplink, with no SFP cage or integrated fiber interface. An optical transceiver cannot be installed in this model.
Active Cisco support coverage
WS-C2940-8TT-S passed its last date of Cisco support on January 4, 2015. Cisco service has ended, so an active Cisco support requirement excludes this model.

WS-C2940-8TT-S identifies the Catalyst 2940 copper-uplink model: eight 10/100 Ethernet access ports and one 10/100/1000BASE-T uplink. The 2940 portion names the family, and 8 names the access-port count. The complete 8TT-S configuration selects the standalone managed copper version rather than the fiber-uplink model.
WS-C2940-8TT-S supports web-based Express Setup, Cisco Cluster Management Suite, CLI through the console or Telnet, SNMP, and CiscoWorks management. Express Setup handles initial configuration, while the embedded Java-based cluster interface handles ongoing administration. Plan the management address and workstation requirements before using the browser-based tools.
WS-C2940-8TT-S is discontinued and no longer supported by Cisco: end of sale was January 5, 2010, and the last date of support was January 4, 2015. The Catalyst 2940 is therefore a legacy procurement choice, not hardware with an active Cisco service entitlement.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2940-8TT-S new sealed and certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original Limited Lifetime warranty coverage ended January 4, 2015.
Eight 10/100Mbps access ports and one 10/100/1000BASE-T uplink are built into WS-C2940-8TT-S. The uplink supports Gigabit copper connectivity, but the access ports do not become Gigabit ports. All network connections on this model use RJ-45 connectors, so no optical transceiver belongs on its uplink purchase order.
No, WS-C2940-8TT-S does not provide PoE to connected endpoints. A phone, camera, or wireless access point can use an Ethernet connection only if its power comes from elsewhere. The internal AC supply powers the switch itself; it is not an Ethernet endpoint-power budget.
No, the Catalyst 2940 does not form a hardware switching stack. Cisco Cluster Management Suite can manage 16 switches using one IP address, but that group remains separate switches rather than a shared forwarding chassis. WS-C2940-8TT-S therefore requires ordinary Ethernet interconnection, not a stack kit or stacking cable.
WS-C2940-8TT-S is a desktop-format switch that also supports wall and under-desk mounting. Underside mounting slots work with supplied screws, and the included magnet provides a mounting method for suitable metal surfaces. Confirm those installation items against the selected condition before finalizing the order.
WS-C2940-8TT-S uses an internal AC power supply accepting 100-240V AC at 50-60Hz. Maximum switch consumption is 15W, and power connects directly through an AC cord rather than an external adapter. The internal supply powers the standalone chassis and is not a separate desktop power brick.
Later Catalyst 2940 software supports 128 VLANs and 64 PVST+ instances, while the original software supports four VLANs. WS-C2940-8TT-S VLAN capacity therefore depends on the installed image. Check the actual software and allowed trunk VLANs before loading configuration, and avoid assuming that VLAN capacity equals spanning-tree capacity.
WS-C2940-8TT-S has a 10/100/1000BASE-T copper uplink, while WS-C2940-8TF-S offers 100BASE-FX or a Gigabit SFP uplink with only one active at a time. Both are discontinued. The copper model fits an existing twisted-pair connection; the fiber model matches an existing optical installation rather than a current-product refresh.
WS-C2940-8TT-S provides 3.6 Gbps maximum forwarding bandwidth and a 2.7 Mpps wire-speed forwarding rate measured with 64-byte packets. The switch also supports 8000 MAC addresses, with 16 MB DRAM and 8 MB flash memory. These are standalone-device limits; management grouping does not add forwarding capacity. Four egress queues support WRR and strict-priority scheduling.
Yes, the Catalyst 2940 supports IGMP snooping, IGMP immediate-leave processing, and Multicast VLAN Registration. The multicast group limit is 255. These functions control Layer 2 multicast delivery; they do not turn WS-C2940-8TT-S into a routed multicast switch. Check receiver behavior and the required multicast configuration before deployment.
