WS-C2960+24LC-S is a managed Layer 2 Fast Ethernet access switch with 24 copper endpoint ports, eight powered ports, and two fixed Gigabit combo uplinks. Each uplink uses either its copper connection or its SFP cage, providing a copper-or-fiber choice without a removable network card. The Catalyst 2960-Plus family serves branch offices, conventional workspaces, and infrastructure connections; this full-width 1U model ships with LAN Lite. Desktops, IP phones, and compatible access points must fit the endpoint-speed and power limits of this configuration. The discontinued WS-C2960+24PC-S sibling increases the endpoint-power allocation to 370W for 24 powered ports. Match the installed connection speeds, powered-device inventory, and software feature level before selecting a legacy replacement.
WS-C2960+24LC-S price for new stock is $731.85, a 58.6% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,769.00. WS-C2960+24LC-S refurb price is $167.48. WS-C2960+24LC-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

16 Gbps switching capacity establishes the forwarding-bandwidth baseline for aggregate traffic planning. 6.5 Mpps forwarding is rated using 64-byte packets, so packet-size assumptions belong in any offered-load comparison. 123W of shared PoE power must be allocated against the connected endpoint inventory, with 15.4W as the specified per-port limit. WS-C2960+24LC-S uses 128 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash for its Cisco IOS image and configuration. LAN Lite QoS controls include CoS trust, SRR shaping and sharing, and priority queueing; policy maps, policing, marking, and WTD require LAN Base. Administrators can use browser-based configuration, local or remote CLI access, and network-management applications. SSH requires a cryptographic software image, while SNMP v1/v2c/v3 supports management-system integration. Centralized management does not make the hardware stackable: this model operates as a standalone switch. Include the required configuration interfaces and applicable feature restrictions in the acceptance criteria before purchase approval.
WS-C2960+24LC-S is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranty of up to 3-year extended coverage for new units or up to 1 year for refurbished units, plus 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and clean boot; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, and required accessories on the purchase order; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty is subject to eligibility, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026. For enterprise and volume orders, ORM accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government, and provides RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA.

In a 25-user small office, the WS-C2960+24LC-S delivers 8 PoE ports to power Cisco IP phones and wireless access points while its 2 SFP uplinks connect to the corporate backbone. Outcome: simplified cabling, guaranteed QoS for voice and Wi-Fi traffic, and scalable edge switching with LAN Lite feature set optimized for reliable, low-latency communications.
A regional retail chain deploys the Catalyst 2960 Plus 24 10/100 switch to power IP cameras and PoS terminals via 8 PoE ports, while dual fiber SFP links provide secure, high-speed uplink to the central NVR. Benefit: centralized video storage, seamless firmware updates, enhanced loss-prevention analytics, and future-proofed LAN Lite switching for consistent 24×7 security operations.
A financial services branch uses the WS-C2960+24LC-S as an edge switch to segment guest Wi-Fi, corporate desktops, and VoIP on separate VLANs. Two SFP ports link over single-mode fiber to headquarters, ensuring 1 Gbps uplink aggregate. Result: simplified network management, strong traffic isolation, and dependable LAN Lite performance for business-critical transactions.
When replacing an installed WS-C2960-24LC-S while retaining its existing connection plan, distinguish the original hardware from its Plus replacement. The older model reached its last date of Cisco support on October 31, 2019. Record the installed configuration, required spare quantity, and purchase condition before specifying replacement inventory.
When hardware is staged before shipment to a branch, provide CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 for local console access rather than relying entirely on the destination network. Prepare the initial configuration and an acceptance checklist, then identify who will perform staging. Specify the console accessory and staging requirements before issuing the purchase order.
When several existing branch services are consolidated onto one managed access switch, the LAN Lite ceiling of 64 active VLANs becomes an acceptance constraint. Count the VLANs that must be active, reconcile the proposed configuration with that ceiling, and include the required segmentation plan in the order's technical requirements.
Gigabit connectivity on every access port
WS-C2960+24LC-S limits endpoint access links to 10/100 Mb/s; its Gigabit connections are uplinks. C1300-24P-4G is the current replacement-chain endpoint with 24 Gigabit access ports.
More than 15.4W per powered endpoint
WS-C2960+24LC-S supplies a maximum of 15.4W per powered port under IEEE 802.3af. Endpoints requiring a higher switch-port power allocation exceed this model's per-port capability.
Software upgrade to LAN Base
WS-C2960+24LC-S is tied to LAN Lite and cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. A requirement for LAN Base features cannot be satisfied by changing this model's software image.

WS-C2960+24LC-S ships with LAN Lite, and its feature set cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. Catalyst 2960-Plus software choices are tied to the hardware model rather than an upgradeable tier selection. Select the required capabilities before ordering; another software image cannot convert this unit into a LAN Base model.
WS-C2960+24LC-S replaces WS-C2960-24LC-S, which reached end of sale on October 31, 2014, and end of support on October 31, 2019. The matching configuration retains 24 Fast Ethernet access ports, eight PoE ports, two copper-or-SFP Gigabit uplinks, and LAN Lite. The Plus replacement is itself discontinued.
Eight PoE ports on WS-C2960+24LC-S share a 123W budget, with a 15.4W per-port limit under IEEE 802.3af. The chassis has 24 Fast Ethernet access ports, but only eight supply endpoint power. Size the powered-device inventory against the shared allocation rather than treating every access port as powered.
WS-C2960+24LC-S provides two Gigabit dual-purpose uplinks, each using either its 1000BASE-T connection or its SFP cage, not both simultaneously. The uplink architecture is fixed rather than a removable network-module bay. Confirm the connection medium at both ends of each link and specify the required compatible connection hardware before ordering.
WS-C2960+24LC-S provides 123W for eight PoE ports, while WS-C2960+24PC-S provides 370W for 24 PoE ports. Both are discontinued. For legacy replacement orders, the LC configuration matches a smaller powered-endpoint inventory; the PC configuration matches installations needing PoE on all access ports. Match the installed power configuration before ordering spares.
WS-C2960+24LC-S includes LAN Lite, while WS-C2960+24LC-L includes LAN Base. LAN Lite hardware cannot be upgraded to the LAN Base feature set, and both models are discontinued. The -S version matches existing LAN Lite installations; the -L version matches existing LAN Base configurations requiring that hardware-bound feature level.
C1300-24P-4G provides 24 Gigabit access ports, whereas WS-C2960+24LC-S has 24 Fast Ethernet access ports. The older model is discontinued, and its original replacement, C1000-24P-4G-L, is also discontinued. C1300-24P-4G is the current replacement-chain endpoint. Gigabit access purchases favor the current model; like-for-like Fast Ethernet spares match the older configuration.
