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.
