WS-C2960+24LC-L Use Case
Branch Office VoIP and Wireless Access Deployment
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.
Retail Store PoS and Video Surveillance Integration
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.
Industrial IoT and Automation Network Backbone
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.

It delivers a switching capacity of 12.8 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate up to 9.5 Mpps, ensuring wire-speed performance for all 24 ports concurrently.
Does the Catalyst 2960 Plus 24 support switch stacking?
No. The 2960 Plus series does not support FlexStack or any stacking technology; it is designed for standalone deployment or can be managed via Cisco Prime or CLI scripts.
What are the power and environmental specifications of this switch?
Operating at 100–240 VAC, the switch consumes up to 75 W (PoE off) and features an operating temperature range of 0–45 °C, with standard 19-inch rack-mount dimensions.
Is Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) supported on the 2960 Plus 24?
Yes. IEEE 802.3az EEE is supported on all Fast Ethernet ports, reducing power usage during low traffic periods to improve energy efficiency.
What deployment scenarios are ideal for the WS-C2960+24LC-L switch?
Ideal for small to medium branch offices, retail stores, or PoE-powered edge deployments requiring basic Layer 2 features, voice support, and flexible fiber uplink options.
How do I mount the Catalyst 2960 Plus switch in a server rack?
