WS-C2960+24LC-L provides PoE on eight of its 24 Fast Ethernet access ports, combining powered and unpowered connections in a managed Layer 2+ switch. Two fixed Gigabit dual-purpose uplinks accept either copper connections or SFP transceivers, with each copper connection sharing its interface with the corresponding SFP cage. The full-width 1U chassis runs the LAN Base feature set. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus Series serves branch offices, remote sites, retail locations and conventional desktop workspaces, including connections for standards-compliant phones and wireless access points. The discontinued WS-C2960+24PC-L is the higher-power sibling, extending PoE availability to all 24 access ports. This configuration separates access-port density from powered-port density, so a purchase requires both an endpoint count and a powered-endpoint inventory.
WS-C2960+24LC-L price for new stock is $1,585.50, a 32% saving from the Cisco list price of $2,333.00. WS-C2960+24LC-L refurb price is $190.31. WS-C2960+24LC-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

16 Gbps switching capacity handles aggregate traffic through the forwarding fabric, while 6.5 Mpps forwarding performance describes processing of 64-byte packets. 123W of shared PoE capacity supplies powered endpoints; individual port allocations must remain within the available total. Static IPv4 routing operates on switched virtual interfaces rather than physical routed ports, and dynamic routing protocols are not supported. WS-C2960+24LC-L carries 128 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash for its operating software and configuration. Four egress queues per port, strict priority queuing and Shaped Round Robin scheduling provide traffic-prioritization controls, while flow-based rate limiting supports 64 policers per port. Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard and Port Security provide access-security controls. The Catalyst 2960-Plus 24LC-L records 26.1W of measured consumption at 100% traffic; that operating measurement should not be treated as a fully loaded PoE power allowance.
WS-C2960+24LC-L is available new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranty coverage of up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty is bounded by the October 31, 2026 last support date. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition and PoE output under load on every powered port, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and accessories on the PO; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. For enterprise and volume orders, PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement are available, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a remote office environment, network engineers use the WS-C2960+24LC-L Catalyst 2960 Plus 24 10/100 (8 PoE) + 2 T/SFP LAN Base to power up to eight IP phones and two Wi-Fi access points directly over PoE while providing 24 Fast Ethernet ports for desktop PCs. Dual SFP uplinks ensure high-availability connectivity to the corporate WAN, delivering consistent voice quality and data throughput. Benefit: simplified cabling, centralized power management and guaranteed SLA-grade performance for unified communications.
A retail chain deploys the Catalyst 2960 Plus 24 10/100 (8 PoE) + 2 T/SFP LAN Base switch on each store floor to supply power and network connectivity to point-of-sale terminals, digital signage and IP cameras. The eight PoE ports eliminate external injectors, while the two fiber SFP slots provide secure backhaul to the data center. Outcome: robust transaction processing, real-time security monitoring and reduced operational costs through consolidated infrastructure.
In a manufacturing plant, IT architects integrate the WS-C2960+24LC-L Catalyst 2960 Plus 24 10/100 (8 PoE) + 2 T/SFP LAN Base as the aggregation switch for sensors, controllers and human–machine interfaces. Eight PoE ports feed IoT devices directly; the remaining ports handle legacy equipment. Dual SFP uplinks deliver redundant fiber paths to the control center. Benefit: minimized downtime, accelerated data collection for predictive maintenance and streamlined device rollout.
When a maintenance purchase replaces WS-C2960-24LT-L, this model preserves a 24-port Fast Ethernet configuration while changing the older model's two copper-only Gigabit uplinks to dual-purpose interfaces. The predecessor reached end of sale on October 31, 2014. Specify the required uplink media and configuration transfer before issuing the PO.
When branch configurations must carry more VLANs than a basic image permits, LAN Base supports 255 active VLANs, compared with 64 on LAN Lite models. A common configuration therefore needs a feature-level check, not just matching physical connections. Verify the active VLAN count and require the correct software tier on each PO line.
When replacement equipment must be configured before network management access is available, the serial console provides a local administration path. CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 is the compatible RJ-45 console cable. Include CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 in the staging purchase where a cable is needed, and specify console access requirements before the PO.
Gigabit connections for access endpoints
The access ports stop at 100 Mbps. The current successor, C1300-24P-4G, retains 24 access ports but provides 10/100/1000 connectivity for endpoints requiring Gigabit Ethernet.
PoE+ endpoints above 15.4W
Each powered port is limited to 15.4W under 802.3af PoE. C1300-24P-4G supports 30W PoE+ ports, subject to its shared 195W power budget.
10G uplinks to distribution
The fixed dual-purpose uplinks run at 1G and do not provide 10G connectivity. The chassis has no removable uplink-card option to raise that speed.

WS-C2960+24LC-L identifies a Catalyst 2960-Plus switch with 24 Fast Ethernet ports, eight PoE ports, two dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks and LAN Base software. WS-C2960+ identifies the series, 24 identifies access-port count, LC identifies this partial-PoE configuration with copper/SFP uplinks, and the final -L identifies LAN Base.
Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus switches are managed through the CLI using a local console connection or remote SSH or Telnet access, with SNMP and Cisco Prime Infrastructure providing network-management integration. Remote CLI access requires network connectivity and configuration. CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 provides the RJ-45 console cable for local setup.
WS-C2960+24LC-L reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and its last date of support is October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022. The original replacement, C1000-24P-4G-L, is discontinued, and its replacement is C1300-24P-4G. Cisco service ends at the final support milestone.
WS-C2960+24LC-L is available new sealed or certified refurbished. ORM provides an up to 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty is bounded by the October 31, 2026 last support date.
Catalyst 2960-Plus uses a perpetual LAN Base or LAN Lite feature level tied to the selected hardware model, rather than a timed subscription tier. WS-C2960+24LC-L carries LAN Base. LAN Lite models cannot be upgraded to LAN Base, so the required functionality must be selected with the hardware purchase.
WS-C2960+24LC-L replaces WS-C2960-24LT-L, which reached end of sale on October 31, 2014. The older model supplied 24 Fast Ethernet ports, eight PoE ports and two copper Gigabit uplinks. The replacement retains the access configuration but provides dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks accepting copper connections or SFP transceivers.
WS-C2960+24LC-L provides eight PoE ports sharing 123W, with a maximum allocation of 15.4W per powered port. Eight maximum allocations total 123.2W, slightly exceeding the available budget. The remaining access ports provide data connectivity without PoE, and connected devices must fit within the combined power allocation.
WS-C2960+24LC-L has two fixed 1G dual-purpose uplinks, each offering an RJ-45 copper connection or an SFP connection. The paired connectors share one interface rather than providing separate simultaneous links. These uplinks do not provide 10G connectivity, and the chassis has no removable uplink card for increasing their speed.
Yes, WS-C2960+24LC-L supports static IPv4 routing on switched virtual interfaces with LAN Base, but it does not support dynamic routing protocols or routing on physical interfaces. Routing requires the appropriate routing template and configuration. This capability is distinct from a switch offering dynamic routed-access operation.
No, WS-C2960+24LC-L has an internal AC supply rather than two redundant internal supply modules. External backup power is supported through PWR-RPS2300 and the compatible CAB-RPS2300= connection cable. PWR-RPS2300 is supplied without its own power supply, so an external backup-power purchase requires the supporting components.
WS-C2960+24LC-L provides eight PoE ports and 123W, whereas WS-C2960+24PC-L provides 24 PoE ports and 370W. Both are discontinued LAN Base models with 24 Fast Ethernet access ports. The LC model suits legacy replacements needing a limited powered subset; the PC model suits legacy configurations requiring power across more access ports.
WS-C2960+24LC-L runs LAN Base with 255 active VLANs, whereas WS-C2960+24LC-S runs LAN Lite with 64 active VLANs. Both models are discontinued, and LAN Lite cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. LAN Base suits legacy configurations needing the larger VLAN allowance; LAN Lite suits replacements preserving simpler existing configurations.
WS-C2960+24LC-L has 10/100 access ports, whereas C1300-24P-4G has 10/100/1000 access ports. C1300-24P-4G is the current successor after the discontinued C1000-24P-4G-L. The older model fits maintenance purchases preserving Fast Ethernet equipment; C1300-24P-4G suits buyers requiring Gigabit connectivity at the access endpoint.
Yes, the Catalyst 2960-Plus 24LC-L is a full-width 1U rack-mount switch measuring 44 mm high, 450 mm wide and 332 mm deep, with a weight of 4.5 kg. These dimensions describe the chassis footprint, so rack planning should account for its depth and space for connected cables.
No, WS-C2960+24LC-L does not support hardware stacking. Network-management grouping does not create a shared hardware forwarding stack or add dedicated stack connections. A replacement purchase should therefore treat each unit as a separate switch, with its own configuration and ordinary Ethernet connections to the surrounding network.
