WS-C2960+24PC-S provides managed Layer 2 switching through 24 Fast Ethernet PoE access ports and two fixed Gigabit combo uplinks. Each uplink offers copper or SFP connectivity rather than an interchangeable network-module bay. The full-width 1U chassis belongs to the Catalyst 2960-Plus family and runs the LAN Lite feature set for basic access requirements. Branch offices, conventional workspaces and building infrastructure are its intended applications. Discontinued sibling WS-C2960+24LC-S powers eight access ports instead of all 24. This 24-port Fast Ethernet PoE switch is principally relevant to maintaining an existing installation whose endpoint speeds and software requirements remain unchanged.
WS-C2960+24PC-S price for new stock is $3,766.80. WS-C2960+24PC-S refurb price is $185.96. WS-C2960+24PC-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

16 Gbps switching bandwidth provides the capacity reference for traffic planning, while 6.5 Mpps forwarding describes performance with 64-byte packets. 370W of allocated PoE output supports compatible endpoints requiring no more than 15.4W per port. WS-C2960+24PC-S uses 128 MB of DRAM for operation and 64 MB of flash for image storage. The Cisco IOS configuration supports command-line administration and SNMP monitoring, allowing configuration work and operational checks to use separate interfaces. Interface and VLAN access control list enforcement is unavailable under LAN Lite. The measured power figure should not be treated as an electrical allowance for a fully loaded powered-endpoint installation.
Specify WS-C2960+24PC-S condition and quantity on the PO; ORM Systems offers new sealed and certified refurbished units. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port and clean boot, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units up to 1 year, and every condition includes 30-day returns with terms applying. For enterprise and volume orders, POs are accepted, government customers receive Net-30 terms, and RMA with advance replacement is available.

A 50-seat regional office uses the WS-C2960+24PC-S to power 24 Cisco IP phones over 10/100 PoE while uplinking two Gigabit SFP modules to the WAN core. Outcome: Simplified plug-and-play VoIP roll-out, centralized management via Cisco LAN Lite, and a 370W PoE budget that eliminates separate AC adapters, reducing deployment time by 40%.
A multi-location retail chain deploys the Catalyst 2960 Plus 24-port PoE switch in each store to power Wi-Fi access points and HD security cameras. Benefit: Dual SFP uplinks aggregate real-time video and customer analytics traffic to the head office, delivering 24×7 network uptime, enhanced in-store security, and a 25% reduction in LAN maintenance costs.
A 30-staff outpatient clinic segments patient-care devices, administrative PCs and VoIP consoles on separate VLANs using the Catalyst 2960+24PC-S with LAN Lite. Benefit: PoE-powered medical tablets and phones draw from a 370W budget, ensuring NCC-compliant network isolation, faster patient data access, and a 50% improvement in network reliability during peak hours.
When several existing sites need a common configuration, the LAN Lite limit of 64 active VLANs becomes an acceptance criterion. Compare each site's segmentation requirements with the intended configuration before standardizing the purchase. Specify the required VLAN assignments and configuration acceptance checks before the PO.
When switches must be configured before shipment to a site, CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 provides the serial console connection for bench access. Include console connectivity in the staging plan rather than relying entirely on an existing network configuration. Specify CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 and the required staging checks before the PO.
When an existing estate needs replacement stock across regions, ORM's stock and RMA coverage includes the UK, EU, US and MEA. Separate the required quantities by destination so the spare order reflects the estate being maintained. Specify condition, regional quantities and RMA requirements before the PO.
Gigabit connectivity for access endpoints
Access ports stop at 100Mbps. C1300-24FP-4G is the current migration model with 24 Gigabit access ports, retaining the same access-port count.
Endpoint power above 15.4W per port
Powered endpoints are limited to 15.4W per port. A larger aggregate power budget does not increase the supported power available to an individual endpoint.
Interface or VLAN ACL enforcement
LAN Lite cannot attach access control lists to interfaces or VLANs. Requirements for enforceable interface or VLAN filtering exceed this hardware-bound software tier.

WS-C2960+24PC-S identifies the Catalyst 2960-Plus family through WS-C2960+, 24 access ports through 24, the PoE configuration with copper/SFP combo uplinks through PC, and LAN Lite through -S. These identifiers distinguish the powered configuration and software tier; they do not indicate Gigabit access-port speeds.
WS-C2960+24PC-S supports browser-based device manager access, CLI through the console, SSH or Telnet, SNMP v1, v2c and v3, Cisco Network Assistant, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. SSH requires a cryptographic software image. Specify the intended administration method and necessary console connectivity when preparing the order.
WS-C2960+24PC-S is discontinued, with end of sale on October 31, 2021, and the last date of Cisco support on October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022. Security support also ends October 31, 2026; purchasing replacement stock does not extend those milestones.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960+24PC-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days on either condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty has original-owner eligibility requirements, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026. ORM refurbishment is separate from Cisco coverage.
WS-C2960+24PC-S includes the hardware-bound LAN Lite feature set and cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. LAN Lite and LAN Base are separate switch variants rather than interchangeable software images. Match the required features before ordering instead of budgeting for a later license purchase to change the tier.
WS-C2960+24PC-S replaces WS-C2960-24PC-S, which ended sale October 31, 2014. Both configurations provide Fast Ethernet PoE access with dual-purpose uplinks and LAN Lite. For an existing replacement order, verify the plus sign in the requested part number; the predecessor and replacement are distinct products.
WS-C2960+24PC-S provides a 370W PoE budget across 24 powered access ports, with a maximum of 15.4W per port. Power allocation must meet both limits. Check each endpoint's required supplied wattage and the combined endpoint load before ordering; the total budget does not permit higher individual-port power.
The Catalyst 2960-Plus 24PC-S has two dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks, with only one connector active in each copper/SFP pair. The copper connector and corresponding SFP cage are alternative connections, not additional independent links. Specify the intended media for each uplink and verify compatible optics before ordering.
WS-C2960+24PC-S powers all 24 access ports, while WS-C2960+24LC-S powers eight. Both models are discontinued. The PC-S configuration matches an existing installation requiring powered connections throughout the access-port bank; the LC-S configuration identifies an existing installation requiring power on only a subset of access ports.
WS-C2960+24PC-S carries LAN Lite, whereas WS-C2960+24PC-L carries LAN Base. Both are discontinued, and the LAN Lite hardware cannot be converted into the LAN Base variant. The S model matches an existing LAN Lite requirement; the L model identifies an existing estate requiring LAN Base features.
C1300-24FP-4G provides Gigabit access ports, while WS-C2960+24PC-S provides Fast Ethernet access ports. C1300-24FP-4G is the current migration destination after the discontinued C1000-24FP-4G-L intermediate replacement. The older model suits like-for-like legacy sparing; the current model suits buyers moving their access endpoints to Gigabit connectivity.
The Catalyst 2960-Plus 24PC-S is a full-width 1U rack switch measuring 450 mm wide, 44 mm high and 332 mm deep. Check the intended rack's usable depth and cable space before ordering. Include mounting requirements in the purchase specification rather than treating the chassis as a desktop unit.
WS-C2960+24PC-S has a measured consumption of 35.2W at 100% traffic, not a stated full-PoE-load maximum. That traffic-test measurement and the endpoint power budget are different quantities. Do not use the measured figure alone as the electrical allowance for an installation supplying power to connected devices.
