WS-C2960-24PC-L is a standalone managed access switch with 24 Fast Ethernet PoE ports and two fixed Gigabit dual-purpose uplinks. Each uplink supports copper or SFP connectivity, with one interface active per pair. The full-width 1U chassis belongs to the Catalyst 2960 family and carries the LAN Base software image. Its configuration serves business wiring closets connecting desktops, IP phones, wireless access points, and compatible surveillance cameras. The 24-port Fast Ethernet PoE switch supplies endpoint power over access cabling while keeping the uplinks separate from the powered connections. Static IPv4 routing adds Layer 2+ capability when the required software and configuration are enabled. The discontinued WS-C2960-24TC-L retains the access-port density but omits PoE.
WS-C2960-24PC-L price for new stock is $561.75, a 22.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $722.25. WS-C2960-24PC-L refurb price is $110.88. WS-C2960-24PC-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

32 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching bandwidth for traffic traversing the chassis. 6.5 Mpps forwarding performance describes handling of 64-byte packets, rather than an uplink speed. 370W of PoE capacity is allocated across the powered interfaces; PoE+ output is unavailable. Static IPv4 routing supports 16 configured routes, including the default route, plus directly connected routes; enabling the lanbase-routing SDM template requires a reload. WS-C2960-24PC-L carries 64 MB of DRAM and 32 MB of flash for software and configuration storage, while the address table accommodates 8000 MAC entries. Management includes the browser-based device manager, CLI access, Cisco Network Assistant, and SNMP-based tools. LAN Base provides traffic classification and policing for voice and data, together with access-control features. Hardware stacking is unavailable on this model; management grouping does not create a hardware stack.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960-24PC-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units; Cisco's limited lifetime hardware warranty ended October 31, 2019. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, and clean boot, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, optics, and accessory requirements on the purchase order; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs, and government buyers can use Net-30.

Deploy WS-C2960-24PC-L to power IP phones and PoE-enabled Wi-Fi access points across a 24-port rack in a small to mid-size office. Dual SFP uplinks provide fiber aggregation to the core network, ensuring low latency and high availability. Outcome: Simplified cabling and centralized power management reduce deployment time by 50% while delivering consistent voice and wireless performance under SLAs.
Implement WS-C2960-24PC-L in retail outlets to supply PoE for IP surveillance cameras and point-of-sale terminals, with 2 SFP ports linking to a regional data center. The LAN Base image enforces VLAN segmentation and basic QoS for secure, prioritized traffic. Outcome: Enhanced loss prevention and uninterrupted transaction processing, boosting operational uptime to 99.9% and ensuring PCI compliance.
Use WS-C2960-24PC-L on factory floors or remote substations to power PoE sensors, industrial controllers, and Wi-Fi bridges. Twin SFP uplinks extend connectivity over single-mode fiber to central control rooms. Outcome: Reliable, centralized management of critical IoT devices with 24/7 network resilience, reducing field maintenance visits by up to 40% and improving real-time data visibility.
When replacing a switch that powers existing phones, access points, or cameras, inventory each endpoint's maximum requested power before preserving the cabling arrangement. WS-C2960-24PC-L supplies 15.4W per powered port, so distinguish compatible PoE devices from higher-draw devices and specify the endpoint power requirements before the PO.
When a staging bench requires concurrent remote configuration access, the Catalyst 2960 supports five simultaneous SSH sessions. Plan access for the engineers performing configuration and verification rather than assuming unrestricted session capacity, and check the installed cryptographic software image and management connectivity before specifying the staging configuration.
When a maintenance team needs like-for-like spare hardware, specify WS-C2960-24PC-L in the requested condition rather than accepting a similar part number. ORM Systems provides RMA with advance replacement and regional stock/RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US, and MEA; set the regional requirements before issuing the PO.
Gigabit Ethernet on every access port
WS-C2960-24PC-L limits its 24 access ports to 10/100 Mbps. C1300-24FP-4G provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet access ports and four 1G SFP uplinks.
PoE+ power for attached devices
WS-C2960-24PC-L supports IEEE 802.3af PoE at 15.4W per port, not PoE+. The per-port limit remains regardless of the aggregate PoE capacity available.
Ongoing Cisco security fixes
WS-C2960-24PC-L passed its vulnerability/security support milestone on October 30, 2017. C1300-24FP-4G is the current replacement-chain endpoint rather than another discontinued intermediate model.

WS-C2960-24PC-L identifies a Catalyst 2960 with 24 Fast Ethernet PoE ports, two dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks, and LAN Base software. WS-C2960 is the family prefix; 24 is the access-port count; PC identifies the PoE configuration with dual-purpose uplinks; L identifies LAN Base.
WS-C2960-24PC-L supports a browser-based device manager, CLI through the console, SSH or Telnet, Cisco Network Assistant, and SNMP-based management. Express Setup provides browser-based initial configuration. Remote CLI access requires network connectivity and configured credentials, while the installed cryptographic image determines SSH availability.
WS-C2960-24PC-L is beyond Cisco support, which ended October 31, 2019. Its end-of-sale date was October 31, 2014, and vulnerability/security support ended October 30, 2017. An order for remaining hardware does not restore Cisco service eligibility or restart software maintenance for the retired model.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960-24PC-L new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns cover every condition for 30 days; terms apply. Cisco's limited lifetime hardware warranty ended October 31, 2019. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default.
LAN Base is the software image supplied with WS-C2960-24PC-L, and the feature set follows the hardware version. Catalyst 2960 models cannot move between LAN Base and LAN Lite by changing images. Specify LAN Base hardware when its additional features are required rather than assuming an image upgrade changes the tier.
WS-C2960-24PC-L provides a 370W PoE budget across 24 powered access ports, with 15.4W available per port. The supported power class is IEEE 802.3af PoE rather than PoE+. Check each endpoint's requested power class and maximum demand before retaining the existing powered-device arrangement.
The Catalyst 2960 24-port PoE configuration has two Gigabit dual-purpose uplinks, each pairing an RJ-45 interface with an SFP interface. Only one interface in each pair operates at a time. GLC-SX-MM= provides multimode fiber connectivity, while GLC-LH-SM= supports multimode or single-mode fiber.
Yes, WS-C2960-24PC-L is a full-width Rack-Mount 1U switch measuring 44 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 332 mm deep, with a weight of 5.4 kg. Check cabinet depth, cable clearance, and the mounting hardware supplied with the order before finalizing the installation requirements.
No, WS-C2960-24PC-L does not include redundant internal power supplies; backup power uses the external PWR-RPS2300 system. The required connection cable is CAB-RPS2300-E=. PWR-RPS2300 is a separate assembly whose base configuration excludes its power supply, so specify the complete backup-power configuration rather than only the chassis.
Yes, WS-C2960-24PC-L with LAN Base supports static IPv4 routing on suitable software, including 16 configured routes with the default route counted in that limit. Directly connected routes are additional. Configure the lanbase-routing SDM template and reload before enabling routing; this is not a dynamic-routing software tier.
WS-C2960-24PC-L supplies PoE on its access ports, while WS-C2960-24TC-L is non-PoE. Both configurations use Fast Ethernet access connections and dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks, and both are discontinued. The PoE model matches powered legacy installations; the non-PoE model identifies installations where endpoint power comes from another source.
WS-C2960-24PC-L carries LAN Base software, while WS-C2960-24PC-S carries LAN Lite; both are discontinued. Catalyst 2960 hardware cannot change between those feature sets through an image replacement. LAN Base suits legacy configurations requiring its expanded security and QoS functions, while LAN Lite identifies configurations with basic switching requirements.
C1300-24FP-4G provides four 1G SFP uplinks, while WS-C2960-24PC-L has two Gigabit dual-purpose copper/SFP uplinks. C1300-24FP-4G is the current endpoint of the replacement chain; the intermediate successors are discontinued. The original configuration matches legacy spares, while C1300-24FP-4G suits replacement orders requiring four separate fiber uplinks.
