Mixed Endpoint Power for Enterprise Access Networks

WS-C2960-24LT-L combines 24 Fast Ethernet access ports, eight PoE-capable ports and two fixed Gigabit copper uplinks in a managed Layer 2 switch. The rack-mount 1U chassis belongs to the Catalyst 2960 family and ships with LAN Base software for enterprise access networks. Copper-only uplinks connect to distribution equipment without transceivers; the chassis has no SFP cages or removable uplink cards. This configuration accommodates compatible powered phones and access points alongside unpowered desktop connections. The discontinued WS-C2960-24TT-L differs by omitting PoE, making endpoint power the distinction between these legacy configurations.

WS-C2960-24LT-L price for new stock is $1,879.50, a 22.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $2,416.50. WS-C2960-24LT-L refurb price is $147.00. WS-C2960-24LT-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

32 Gbps switching capacity provides the fabric ceiling for aggregate traffic planning. 6.5 Mpps forwarding rate applies to 64-byte packets, separating packet-processing capacity from bandwidth. 123W of shared PoE capacity requires endpoint allocations to remain within the total budget, with 15.4W available per powered port. WS-C2960-24LT-L carries 64 MB of DRAM and 32 MB of flash memory for software and configuration storage. An 8000-entry MAC table supports address learning, while four egress queues per port separate traffic classes. RSTP and MSTP manage redundant Layer 2 paths, and LACP forms Ethernet channels. DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard constrain spoofed endpoint traffic; port-based ACLs apply policies to individual interfaces. 162W consumption at full throughput with maximum possible PoE loading provides a loaded operating reference for facility planning rather than a power-supply rating. Hardware stacking is unavailable, so multiple units retain separate forwarding hardware rather than forming a physical switch stack.

Ordering

WS-C2960-24LT-L is offered new sealed and certified refurbished, with an ORM warranty of up to 3-year extended coverage for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition and quantity on the purchase order; returns are available for 30 days on every condition, terms apply. For enterprise and volume purchasing, POs are accepted, government buyers receive Net-30 terms, and RMA includes advance replacement.

WS-C2960-24LT-L Use Case

Centralized PoE Power for VoIP and Wireless Access in Small Office

In a 50-user branch office, IT deploys the WS-C2960-24LT-L Catalyst 2960 (24 10/100, 8 PoE) + 2 1000BT LAN Base switch to power IP phones and wireless access points over a single cable plant. VLAN segmentation isolates voice, data and guest traffic while QoS prioritizes VoIP packets. Benefit: Simplified infrastructure, reduced cabling costs and guaranteed voice quality under 5 ms latency.

High-Density Retail Surveillance and Digital Signage Infrastructure

A multi-location retailer centralizes IP camera feeds and PoE-powered digital signage on a Catalyst 2960-24LT-L switch at each store. Eight PoE ports drive HD cameras and menu-board players while two 1 Gb uplinks aggregate video streams to the corporate NVR. Benefit: Reliable, low-latency video transmission for loss prevention, streamlined remote monitoring and lower total cost of ownership.

Industrial Production Line Network Segmentation with Redundant Uplinks

In a manufacturing facility, the LAN Base–image 2960 switch segments control-system PLCs, safety devices and office PCs into dedicated VLANs. Two gigabit uplinks provide link-aggregation redundancy to the distribution layer, and the 8 PoE ports power industrial sensors and access points. Benefit: Enhanced operational uptime, hardened network security and simplified maintenance in harsh environments.

Best For

Legacy Network Staging

When reproducing an existing VLAN configuration before a maintenance change, the switch supports 255 active VLANs and VLAN IDs within a 4000-ID range. The active-VLAN limit matters separately from the identifier range. Specify the required VLAN inventory and verify that the staging configuration stays within the active limit before the PO.

Administrator Access Standardization

When standardizing administrator access across installed sites, SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 require a cryptographic software image. Matching the hardware part number alone does not settle that software prerequisite. Specify the required administrator-access methods and verify the installed image supports the intended encrypted management sessions before the PO.

Installed Fleet Sparing

When purchasing a spare for an existing rack installation, mounting hardware must match the legacy chassis. RCKMNT-1RU= is the matching spare rack-mount kit and is discontinued. Treat bracket inclusion as an order requirement rather than assuming loose hardware accompanies the unit; confirm the supplied mounting parts before the PO.

Not Suitable If

Gigabit speed on every access port

WS-C2960-24LT-L limits access connections to 100 Mbps; its Gigabit ports are uplinks. The current successor C1300-24P-4G provides 24 Gigabit access ports.

Direct fiber uplinks to distribution

WS-C2960-24LT-L has copper-only uplinks and no SFP cages. C1300-24P-4G provides four 1G SFP uplinks and also changes the 24 access ports to Gigabit Ethernet.

PoE+ power for high-draw endpoints

WS-C2960-24LT-L provides 802.3af PoE with 15.4W per powered port, not 30W PoE+. Endpoints requiring the higher power class exceed its per-port output capability.

Questions & Answers

What does the WS-C2960-24LT-L part number mean?

WS-C2960-24LT-L identifies a Catalyst 2960 configuration: WS-C2960 names the family, 24 denotes the Fast Ethernet access-port count, LT identifies eight PoE ports with two Gigabit copper uplinks, and the final L denotes LAN Base. The part number does not mean all 24 access ports provide PoE.

How is the Catalyst 2960 managed?

Catalyst 2960 management uses the Cisco IOS CLI through console access or remote SSH and Telnet sessions, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution and SNMP. Cisco Network Assistant supplies a PC-based graphical interface. SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 depend on a cryptographic software image installed on the switch.

Is WS-C2960-24LT-L end of life?

Yes, WS-C2960-24LT-L is discontinued: Cisco ended sales on October 31, 2014 and support on October 31, 2019. Cisco service is no longer available for this hardware. A purchase should therefore distinguish an exact legacy replacement requirement from a refresh requiring a currently supported successor.

What conditions and warranties does ORM offer for WS-C2960-24LT-L?

ORM offers WS-C2960-24LT-L new sealed and certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty is no longer active: Cisco service ended October 31, 2019.

How many PoE devices can WS-C2960-24LT-L power?

WS-C2960-24LT-L has eight PoE-capable access ports sharing a 123W budget, with a 15.4W per-port ceiling. The remaining access ports do not supply endpoint power. Allocate actual device requirements within the shared total rather than assuming every powered port can simultaneously draw its individual maximum.

Which uplinks does WS-C2960-24LT-L include?

WS-C2960-24LT-L includes two fixed 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 copper uplinks and no SFP uplink cages. The uplinks are separate from its Fast Ethernet access ports. Specify a copper connection to distribution equipment; neither a fiber transceiver nor a removable uplink module can be installed in this chassis.

Can WS-C2960-24LT-L join a hardware switch stack?

No, WS-C2960-24LT-L does not support hardware stacking or accept a stacking module. FlexStack belongs to the separate Catalyst 2960-S family, not this chassis. Management grouping does not add shared forwarding hardware, and ordering a stacking cable cannot convert this model into a physical stack member.

Does WS-C2960-24LT-L have redundant internal power supplies?

No, WS-C2960-24LT-L has a fixed internal AC supply rather than dual internal power-supply bays. External backup compatibility uses PWR-RPS2300 with CAB-RPS2300-E=. PWR-RPS2300 ships without power supplies and accepts C3K-PWR-750WAC=. That external arrangement does not change the switch's internal supply into a redundant modular configuration.

Is WS-C2960-24LT-L a rack-mount switch?

Yes, WS-C2960-24LT-L is a rack-mount 1U switch measuring 44 mm high, 445 mm wide and 236 mm deep, with a 4.5 kg weight. RCKMNT-1RU= is its matching spare mounting kit and is discontinued. Confirm that suitable brackets accompany the ordered unit rather than treating chassis dimensions as proof of accessory inclusion.

What is the current replacement for WS-C2960-24LT-L?

C1300-24P-4G is the current successor reached from WS-C2960-24LT-L through the replacement chain. The direct replacement, WS-C2960+24LC-L, is discontinued, as is its successor C1000-24P-4G-L. C1300-24P-4G changes access connectivity to Gigabit Ethernet and provides four 1G SFP uplinks rather than the original copper-only uplink arrangement.

What is the difference between WS-C2960-24LT-L and WS-C2960-24TT-L?

WS-C2960-24LT-L supplies PoE on eight access ports, whereas WS-C2960-24TT-L supplies no endpoint power. Both configurations are discontinued. For matching an installed legacy fleet, WS-C2960-24LT-L addresses powered endpoint connections, while WS-C2960-24TT-L matches installations whose attached devices receive power separately from the switch.

What is the difference between WS-C2960-24LT-L and WS-C2960-24LC-S?

WS-C2960-24LT-L carries LAN Base, whereas WS-C2960-24LC-S carries LAN Lite. Both part numbers are discontinued, so this software-image distinction concerns legacy fleet matching rather than a current-generation purchase. WS-C2960-24LT-L suits an existing LAN Base requirement; WS-C2960-24LC-S corresponds to an installed LAN Lite configuration.

What is the difference between WS-C2960-24LT-L and C1300-24P-4G?

C1300-24P-4G provides Gigabit access connectivity, whereas WS-C2960-24LT-L provides Fast Ethernet access connectivity. WS-C2960-24LT-L is discontinued and fits an exact legacy hardware-matching requirement. C1300-24P-4G is the current successor for buyers replacing that legacy access-speed limit rather than preserving the original switch configuration.

What software features does the LAN Base configuration provide?

The Catalyst 2960 LAN Base configuration provides managed access features including RSTP, MSTP, LACP, port-based ACLs, DHCP Snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection. These features address loop control, link aggregation and endpoint policy enforcement. The image identifies the installed software tier; it does not add removable uplinks or hardware stacking to this chassis.
