Branch Access for 24 Wired Endpoints

WS-C2960+24TC-L is a fixed-configuration Fast Ethernet access switch for Layer 2 branch, remote-site and workspace networks. The 24-port Fast Ethernet LAN Base switch provides 24 10/100 downlinks and two fixed combo uplinks that can be used as 1000BASE-T or SFP interfaces, one media type per uplink. In the Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus Series, this non-PoE 1U model fits access closets serving wired endpoints, printers, cameras that do not need switch-delivered power, and legacy infrastructure. The Catalyst 2960-Plus 24TC-S keeps the same 24-port non-PoE hardware with the LAN Lite feature set instead of LAN Base. Choose the SFP side when fiber handoff is required and keep the RJ-45 side for copper uplinks.

WS-C2960+24TC-L price for new stock is $378.00, a 83.3% saving from the Cisco list price of $2,260.00. WS-C2960+24TC-L refurb price is $152.25. WS-C2960+24TC-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

16 Gbps switching capacity supports full-duplex Layer 2 forwarding across the Fast Ethernet access ports and Gigabit uplinks. 6.5 Mpps forwarding handles 64-byte packets on the Catalyst 2960-Plus 24TC-L, while 18.6W measured draw at 100% traffic sits below the 30W input power figure used for facility sizing. WS-C2960+24TC-L carries 128 MB DRAM and 64 MB flash, with 255 active VLANs, 4K VLAN IDs, 9000-byte L3 MTU and 9018-byte Ethernet jumbo frames under LAN Base. Management uses Cisco IOS CLI, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Telnet and HTTP support. STP, LLDP, RMON, Port Security, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard and Private VLAN Edge are included for access-layer control. No dynamic routing protocol tier is provided because the platform is enterprise-class Layer 2 switching.

Ordering

WS-C2960+24TC-L is available from ORM Systems as new sealed or certified refurbished hardware. Certified refurbished managed units are inspected and bench-tested, firmware verified, wiped to factory default, and checked for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, optics bay recognition, PSU status and clean boot. Add this switch to the PO with required regional stock preference and any SFP optics or RPS accessories. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement and UK, EU, US and MEA stock/RMA support cover enterprise and volume orders.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Lifecycle chain

Cisco support ends on 31 October 2026; the immediate C1000-24T-4G-L replacement is also end-of-sale, so the forward chain ends at C1300-24T-4G.

Combo uplink planning

The two uplinks are shared 1000BASE-T or SFP interfaces; using the copper side consumes the paired SFP position, so fiber handoffs need separate SFP transceivers.

License set fixed

LAN Base is tied to the -L model, and LAN Lite models cannot upgrade to LAN Base; match the PID to the required feature set before purchase.

Refurbished unit handling

Certified refurbished managed units are firmware verified and wiped to factory default, so replacement orders should expect a cleared configuration rather than inherited startup settings.

WS-C2960+24TC-L Use Case

Secure VLAN Segmentation in Hospitality with WS-C2960+24TC-L

The WS-C2960+24TC-L-Catalyst 2960 Plus 24 10/100 + 2T/SFP LAN Base switch is deployed in a mid-sized hotel to enforce three distinct VLANs for guest Wi-Fi, back-office operations and IPTV. Leveraging LAN Base security and VLAN features isolates sensitive data, meets PCI-DSS compliance and optimizes bandwidth allocation. The result is a secure, high-performance network that enhances guest experience and protects corporate assets.

Scalable Campus Building Distribution over Fiber Uplinks

A university uses the WS-C2960+24TC-L Catalyst 2960 Plus 24 10/100 + 2T/SFP LAN Base switch to interconnect academic buildings via dual 1 Gbps fiber uplinks. With Cisco IOS management, QoS and link-aggregation support, campus IT teams simplify expansion, guarantee predictable performance and centralize monitoring. The outcome is a resilient, future-proof network that seamlessly supports high-density Wi-Fi, VoIP and real-time collaboration.

Robust Manufacturing Floor Automation and Control

In an industrial plant, the WS-C2960+24TC-L-Catalyst 2960 Plus 24 10/100 + 2T/SFP LAN Base switch aggregates PLCs, sensors and HMIs across 24 ports, then uplinks critical traffic via two fiber SFPs. Cisco’s QoS, storm control and packet buffering ensure deterministic delivery for real-time automation. Manufacturers achieve minimal downtime, enhanced operational efficiency and streamlined device management.

Best For

Existing 2960 Refresh

A closet replacing WS-C2960-24TC-L or WS-C2960-24TT-L can preserve the 24 Fast Ethernet access-port profile and LAN Base operating model with this hardware. Record the 31 October 2026 support end date and specify any required CAB-AC regional cord before the PO is released.

Remote Site Standardization

A remote site using 10/100 endpoint drops can standardize on the same 1U chassis depth and two combo uplink handoffs across small closets. Confirm whether each uplink will use 1000BASE-T copper or SFP fiber, because each shared pair accepts only one media side.

Legacy Endpoint Lab

A staging lab that validates printers, badge readers or controllers on Fast Ethernet can use the LAN Base feature set, 255 active VLAN scale and 9018-byte Ethernet jumbo frame support. Add CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 if bench access needs a dedicated console cable with the switch.

Not Suitable If

Gigabit access ports

WS-C2960+24TC-L downlinks are 10/100 Fast Ethernet. C1300-24T-4G is the current replacement path with 24-port GE access and 4x1G SFP uplinks.

10G fiber uplinks

WS-C2960+24TC-L provides two 1G combo uplinks. C1300-24T-4X is the current Catalyst 1300 alternative with 24-port GE access and 4x10G SFP+ uplinks.

PoE endpoint power

WS-C2960+24TC-L has no available PoE power. C1300-24FP-4G is the current Catalyst 1300 alternative with 24-port GE access, full PoE and 4x1G SFP uplinks.

Questions & Answers

What does WS-C2960+24TC-L mean?

WS-C2960+24TC-L is the Catalyst 2960-Plus 24-port LAN Base model with two T/SFP uplink interfaces. The 24TC-L portion corresponds to 24 10/100 Ethernet ports, combo copper or SFP uplinks, and the LAN Base feature set on this fixed-configuration switch.

How is WS-C2960+24TC-L managed?

WS-C2960+24TC-L is managed through Cisco IOS CLI, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Telnet and HTTP support. It is not an unmanaged switch or cloud-dashboard product, so orders should assume local network management and configuration through the IOS feature set.

What is the lifecycle status of WS-C2960+24TC-L?

WS-C2960+24TC-L is end-of-sale, with last Cisco support on 31 October 2026. The published replacement is C1000-24T-4G-L, and that model's lifecycle chain moves forward to C1300-24T-4G for current 24-port GE access. Plan service renewals around that date.

What condition and warranty options are available for WS-C2960+24TC-L?

WS-C2960+24TC-L is available from ORM Systems as new sealed or certified refurbished. Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty is bounded by last date of support, 31 October 2026; ORM offers up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units.

Does WS-C2960+24TC-L support PoE?

No, WS-C2960+24TC-L is a non-PoE switch with no available PoE power budget. Buyers needing endpoint power should not assume any powered ports on this PID; the related WS-C2960+24PC-L carries 24 PoE ports and a 370W budget, but is also end-of-sale.

How many uplinks does WS-C2960+24TC-L have?

WS-C2960+24TC-L has two fixed 1G combo uplinks, usable as SFP or 1000BASE-T. Each combo uplink uses one media side at a time, so a fiber SFP connection and its paired copper uplink are not independent extra ports.

Can WS-C2960+24TC-L be stacked?

No, WS-C2960+24TC-L is a fixed-configuration Layer 2 access switch without a stacking technology or stack-member scale for the Catalyst 2960-Plus family. Treat the unit as a standalone access switch and size uplinks, management and sparing per physical chassis.

Does WS-C2960+24TC-L need a software subscription?

No, WS-C2960+24TC-L uses the LAN Base Cisco IOS feature set rather than a subscription license path. The feature set is tied to the model; LAN Lite models cannot be upgraded to LAN Base, so choose the -L PID when LAN Base is required.

Which older switches does WS-C2960+24TC-L replace?

WS-C2960+24TC-L replaces WS-C2960-24TC-L and WS-C2960-24TT-L in the earlier Catalyst 2960 family. Both older models reached end of sale on 31 October 2014, and the replacement description preserves the 24 10/100 access profile with two T/SFP uplinks.

What is the difference between WS-C2960+24TC-L and WS-C2960+24PC-L?

WS-C2960+24PC-L adds 24 PoE ports and a 370W PoE budget, while WS-C2960+24TC-L is non-PoE. Choose WS-C2960+24PC-L for powered Fast Ethernet endpoints; choose WS-C2960+24TC-L when endpoint power is not needed and LAN Base switching is the requirement.

What is the difference between WS-C2960+24TC-L and WS-C2960+24TC-S?

WS-C2960+24TC-L ships with LAN Base, while WS-C2960+24TC-S ships with LAN Lite on the same 24-port non-PoE and two-combo-uplink hardware profile. Use WS-C2960+24TC-L where the LAN Base feature set is required; WS-C2960+24TC-S fits basic LAN Lite deployments.

What is the difference between WS-C2960+24TC-L and C1300-24T-4G?

C1300-24T-4G provides 24 GE access ports and 4x1G SFP uplinks, while WS-C2960+24TC-L provides 24 Fast Ethernet ports and two 1G combo uplinks. C1300-24T-4G suits current Gigabit access refreshes; WS-C2960+24TC-L suits like-for-like Catalyst 2960-Plus sparing.

Does WS-C2960+24TC-L support redundant power?

WS-C2960+24TC-L has a fixed internal AC supply and can connect to PWR-RPS2300 through the RPS receptacle. PWR-RPS2300 is listed with no power supply, CAB-RPS2300= is the spare cable, and C3K-PWR-750WAC= is the RPS 2300 750W AC supply.
