Managed Access Connectivity for Small Business Networks
WS-C2960-24TC-L is a managed Layer 2 access switch with 24 Fast Ethernet RJ-45 ports and two fixed dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks. Each uplink operates through either its copper connector or its SFP cage, not both simultaneously. The full-width 1U chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960 family and ships with the LAN Base image. This data-only configuration connects separately powered endpoints; discontinued WS-C2960-24PC-L is the corresponding PoE-equipped sibling. The fixed interface arrangement provides copper or fiber uplink selection without a removable uplink card.
WS-C2960-24TC-L price for new stock is $687.75. WS-C2960-24TC-L refurb price is $80.33. WS-C2960-24TC-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details
32 Gbps switching capacity is the bandwidth figure for comparing the switching engine. 6.5 Mpps forwarding is specified with 64-byte packets, so packet-rate requirements need a separate check from aggregate bandwidth. WS-C2960-24TC-L carries 64 MB DRAM and 32 MB flash, while its 8000-entry MAC table provides address-learning capacity for connected devices. Management options include the Cisco IOS CLI, GUI-based Cisco Network Assistant, and SNMP-based network management. 30W maximum power consumption belongs in the rack's electrical allocation rather than an endpoint-power budget. External backup connects through PWR-RPS2300 using CAB-RPS2300=; redundancy does not come from a second internal supply. Specify the complete external backup arrangement separately when that capability is required.
Ordering
WS-C2960-24TC-L is offered new sealed or certified refurbished. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition, and a clean boot; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's limited lifetime hardware warranty and service ended October 31, 2019. Specify condition, quantity, RCKMNT-1RU= requirements, and optics on the purchase order; ORM Systems accepts POs, provides Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, and maintains regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

WS-C2960-24TC-L Use Case
Access Layer Endpoint Handoff
WS-C2960-24TC-L sits in a wiring closet and terminates copper runs from Fast Ethernet endpoints on 24 10/100 access ports. Network teams place VLAN membership, 802.1X authentication, port security, QoS markings, and storm-control behavior at the access edge, then reserve the two dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks for distribution connectivity. The LAN Base image supports richer Layer 2 services than LAN Lite models in the same 2960 family. The result is a controlled endpoint handoff with policy applied before traffic leaves the access closet.
Access to Distribution Uplink Handoff
The switch occupies the campus access layer and sends aggregated endpoint traffic northbound through two dual-purpose uplinks, each using either 10/100/1000 copper or SFP Gigabit Ethernet. Engineers match RJ-45 or fiber handoff to the distribution switch, then configure trunks, EtherChannel, spanning-tree controls, and uplink monitoring around the selected media. WS-C2960-24TC-L keeps fixed Fast Ethernet access ports separate from flexible Gigabit uplink selection in racks with mixed copper and fiber handoffs. The result is a predictable access-to-distribution boundary without changing existing endpoint cabling.
Operations Managed Branch Edge
Network operations teams deploy WS-C2960-24TC-L as a managed Layer 2 edge switch where a small access block requires LAN Base controls and centralized administration. The switch joins Cisco IOS operational workflows with CLI configuration, SNMP monitoring, syslog collection, VLAN templates, and access-port security policies. Its 1U fixed configuration fits compact racks while the two dual-purpose uplinks connect the branch edge back to aggregation or a collapsed distribution pair. The result is standardized Fast Ethernet edge management across repeated small-site deployments.
Best For
Configuration Staging
When an existing switch configuration must be staged before a maintenance window, the 255-active-VLAN limit sets the scope of the test environment. Include the required VLAN set and representative endpoint settings in the staging plan, then approve the configuration before specifying the order.
Elevated Branch Sites
When a branch rollout includes higher-elevation sites, the normal operating-temperature ceiling narrows to 40°C at 3000 m. Record each site's altitude and expected equipment-room temperature before committing the quantity, and confirm that the environmental allowance covers every location included on the purchase order.
Not Suitable If
Gigabit speed on every endpoint
WS-C2960-24TC-L limits access connections to 10/100Mbps. Current C1300-24T-4G provides 24 Gigabit access ports and four 1G SFP uplinks, changing both access speed and uplink configuration.
PoE power for connected endpoints
WS-C2960-24TC-L provides data connectivity without endpoint power. Connected phones, cameras, or access points need separate power because its Ethernet ports do not supply PoE.
10G connections to distribution
WS-C2960-24TC-L limits uplinks to Gigabit speed. C1300-24T-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks and 24 Gigabit access ports, also changing the endpoint speed class.
Active Cisco hardware service coverage
WS-C2960-24TC-L reached its last date of Cisco support on October 31, 2019. Hardware purchases cannot restore Cisco service coverage after that milestone.

Questions & Answers
What does the WS-C2960-24TC-L part number mean?
WS-C2960 identifies the Catalyst 2960 family, 24 identifies 24 Ethernet 10/100 access ports, TC identifies the configuration with two dual-purpose copper/SFP Gigabit uplinks, and L identifies the LAN Base image. WS-C2960-24TC-L is a fixed-configuration 1U data switch, not a PoE model.
How is WS-C2960-24TC-L managed?
WS-C2960-24TC-L supports management through the Cisco IOS CLI, GUI-based Cisco Network Assistant, and SNMP-based applications such as CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution. Cisco Network Assistant provides graphical configuration tools, while SNMP integration supports network monitoring and administration. Specify the management method and required configuration before placing the order.
What is the lifecycle status of WS-C2960-24TC-L?
WS-C2960-24TC-L is discontinued: end of sale was October 31, 2014, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2019. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2015, and security support ended October 30, 2017. Treat orders as hardware purchases without active Cisco service, not opportunities to renew factory support coverage.
What conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for WS-C2960-24TC-L?
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960-24TC-L new sealed or 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 limited lifetime hardware warranty and service ended October 31, 2019.
How many uplinks can WS-C2960-24TC-L use simultaneously?
WS-C2960-24TC-L has two usable Gigabit uplinks, each pairing an RJ-45 connector with an SFP cage. Only one side of each pair operates at a time, so there are not four simultaneous uplink interfaces. Specify copper or fiber for each connection and match the selected media at the far end.
Can WS-C2960-24TC-L form a hardware stack?
No, WS-C2960-24TC-L is a standalone switch rather than a hardware-stack member. Cisco Network Assistant can manage groups of switches, but that grouping does not combine their switching engines or add dedicated stack ports. Specify separate switches and normal network links for expansion rather than a stack kit.
How is WS-C2960-24TC-L powered?
WS-C2960-24TC-L uses an internal 100-240V AC supply, with optional external DC backup through PWR-RPS2300. The external connection uses CAB-RPS2300=; the chassis does not provide a second internal PSU bay. Allow 30W maximum consumption when planning the electrical allocation, excluding any external backup equipment.
What is the difference between WS-C2960-24TC-L and WS-C2960-24PC-L?
WS-C2960-24TC-L supplies data only, while WS-C2960-24PC-L supplies PoE on its 24 Fast Ethernet access ports. Both models are discontinued. The data-only model fits legacy endpoints with separate power; the PoE model corresponds to like-for-like sparing for installations that already require switch-powered endpoints.
What is the difference between WS-C2960-24TC-L and WS-C2960-24TC-S?
WS-C2960-24TC-L ships with LAN Base, whereas WS-C2960-24TC-S ships with LAN Lite. Both models are discontinued, and their installed software images differ. Match the LAN Base model to an existing LAN Base configuration or the LAN Lite model to a LAN Lite configuration when specifying legacy replacement hardware.
What is the difference between WS-C2960-24TC-L and C1300-24T-4G?
C1300-24T-4G provides Gigabit access connections, while WS-C2960-24TC-L limits its access ports to 10/100Mbps. C1300-24T-4G is the current model at the end of the replacement chain. The older switch serves like-for-like Fast Ethernet sparing; the current model suits purchases requiring Gigabit endpoint access.
