WS-C2960-24TC-L Overview

WS-C2960-24TC-L is a managed Cisco LAN Base access switch for networks that need Fast Ethernet edge ports with flexible Gigabit handoff. It operates as a Layer 2 switch with 24 fixed 10/100 RJ-45 access ports and 2 fixed dual-purpose uplinks, where each uplink position uses either one 10/100/1000 copper interface or one SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet interface with one media option active. The switch is Non-PoE, so powered endpoints require local power, injectors, or a PoE access model. Its rack-mount chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series and uses the LAN Base image for managed access-layer services. This layout separates access cabling from uplink media selection, which helps replacement projects keep existing copper runs while choosing fiber or copper handoff. WS-C2960-48TC-L is the closest density sibling and differs by providing 48 Ethernet 10/100 access ports instead of 24 access ports.

16 Gbps switching fabric supports the Fast Ethernet access layer and Gigabit uplink handoff without positioning the platform as a Gigabit desktop switch. 6.5 Mpps forwarding rate handles 64-byte packet movement for this 24-port LAN Base model. 30W maximum power consumption keeps the non-PoE fixed chassis within a low access-closet power profile. WS-C2960-24TC-L stores up to 8000 MAC addresses, uses 64 MB DRAM with 32 MB flash memory, and allows MTU configuration up to 9000 bytes with a maximum Ethernet frame size of 9018 bytes for jumbo frames on Gigabit Ethernet ports. IEEE 802.1D STP, IEEE 802.1w RSTP, IEEE 802.1s MSTP, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, IEEE 802.1p CoS, IEEE 802.1x access control, IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation, and SNMPv1/SNMPv2c/SNMPv3 management anchor the documented Layer 2 control set. RMON I and II support plus CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution integration fit traditional monitoring environments. The dual-purpose uplinks also accept listed SFP standards including 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, and 100BASE-FX modules.

The switch fits the enterprise access tier for workstations, printers, terminals, lab equipment, and externally powered phones that remain on copper edge connectivity. It is a standalone platform with no stack membership, so each unit is managed as its own Catalyst 2960 switch, and the rack plan reserves 1U for every deployed chassis. WS-C2960-24TC-L is available from ORM Systems new and certified refurbished for like-for-like replacement, spare holdings, and controlled legacy expansion. Certified refurbished units are checked for boot behavior, port link response, SFP uplink operation, console access, fan behavior, and power stability before dispatch. ORM Systems also aligns compatible SFP options with the requested fiber plant when optics are part of the order. Request a quote for the required condition, quantity, warranty term, optics, rack-mount kit, and power cord; enterprise and volume buyers receive procurement support for multi-site refreshes, staged rollouts, and standardized access-switch spares.

WS-C2960-24TC-L price is $366.00, a 76% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,525.00. WS-C2960-24TC-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

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.
