WS-C2960+24TC-S is a managed Layer 2 Fast Ethernet switch with 24 non-PoE 10/100 access ports and two fixed Gigabit dual-purpose uplinks. Each uplink uses either its copper connection or its SFP connection, so selecting fiber does not add another active link. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus Series serves branch offices, conventional workspaces, and infrastructure applications in a rack-mount 1U chassis. LAN Lite is the included Cisco IOS feature level and identifies the family's basic feature-set variant. The discontinued WS-C2960+24PC-S sibling adds PoE for powered endpoints; this configuration instead carries data for devices supplied from a separate power source.
WS-C2960+24TC-S price for new stock is $1,556.14, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $3,112.28. WS-C2960+24TC-S refurb price is $328.50. WS-C2960+24TC-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

16 Gbps switching capacity gives the chassis its full-duplex forwarding bandwidth. 6.5 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte packets, making packet size part of the throughput assessment. The LAN Lite configuration permits 64 active VLANs, so existing segmentation must fit that limit. WS-C2960+24TC-S includes 128 MB DRAM and 64 MB flash for working memory and image storage. Four egress queues per port support traffic prioritization; SRR scheduling and WTD congestion avoidance control queued traffic. Administrators can use the CLI and SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 for configuration and monitoring, while Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports central management. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus 24TC-S draws 19.1W at 100% traffic under controlled measurement conditions; this is a measured operating figure, not a PSU wattage rating. Inter-VLAN routing requires a separate Layer 3 device.
Order WS-C2960+24TC-S in new sealed or certified refurbished condition and specify the required quantities on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed linking on every port, and optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM Systems provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's original Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage requires original-owner eligibility and ends no later than October 31, 2026. For enterprise and volume orders, PO is accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and RMA includes advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA coverage in the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When maintaining sites built around discontinued WS-C2960-24-S or WS-C2960-24TC-S, replacement matching may matter more than changing the access design. Both older models reached end of sale on October 31, 2014. Check the existing configuration and physical connections before specifying this replacement's condition and quantity on the purchase order.
When preparing replacement units before dispatch, local console access can be necessary before network management is configured. CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 provides the compatible RJ-45 console connection. Include CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 in the staging inventory rather than assuming network access will be available, and confirm the required console accessory is included on the PO.
When a hardware order covers US, European, and UK locations, the AC cord selection changes by destination. CAB-AC serves the US and Canada, CAB-ACE serves Europe, and CAB-ACU serves the UK. Keep regional cord selection separate from switch condition, and specify the destination-appropriate cord PID and quantity for each shipment.
Gigabit speeds on every access port
WS-C2960+24TC-S limits access connections to 10/100 Mbps. C1300-24T-4G is the current Gigabit replacement, with 24 Gigabit access ports and four 1G SFP uplinks.
Endpoint power over Ethernet
WS-C2960+24TC-S does not deliver PoE from its access ports. C1300-24FP-4G succeeds the powered sibling, also changing access to Gigabit and providing four 1G SFP uplinks.
A software-only upgrade to LAN Base
LAN Lite cannot be upgraded to LAN Base on WS-C2960+24TC-S. The feature level is tied to the hardware model, so installing another software image does not provide that upgrade.

WS-C2960+24TC-S identifies a Catalyst 2960-Plus switch with 24 non-PoE 10/100 access ports, two copper-or-SFP Gigabit uplinks, and LAN Lite software. The WS-C2960+ prefix names the family; 24 gives the access-port count; TC identifies the copper configuration with dual-purpose uplinks; -S selects LAN Lite.
The Catalyst 2960-Plus series is managed through the Cisco IOS CLI, its RJ-45 console connection, Telnet, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 provides the local console connection. Select the administration method before staging, and establish the required management configuration before connecting the production network.
WS-C2960+24TC-S reached end of sale on October 31, 2021; Cisco security support and applicable hardware service end October 31, 2026. Its Gigabit migration chain leads through discontinued C1000-24T-4G-L to C1300-24T-4G. The Fast Ethernet replacement C1000FE-24T-4G-L is also discontinued and has no current replacement.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960+24TC-S new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty requires original-owner eligibility, with Cisco service ending October 31, 2026.
WS-C2960+24TC-S includes the LAN Lite Cisco IOS feature set, and LAN Lite hardware cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. Catalyst 2960-Plus feature levels are tied to the switch model rather than selected by installing another image. Specify the required capabilities before ordering, because changing feature levels requires different hardware.
WS-C2960+24TC-S replaced discontinued WS-C2960-24-S and WS-C2960-24TC-S, both of which reached end of sale on October 31, 2014. Those older models reached their last date of support on October 31, 2019. Match the existing configuration and uplink media before specifying a replacement or maintenance spare.
WS-C2960+24TC-S provides two 1G dual-purpose uplinks, each usable through its copper connection or SFP cage, not both simultaneously. These are fixed interfaces rather than an empty network-module bay. Choose copper or compatible fiber optics for each uplink, and match the physical media to the upstream connection.
WS-C2960+24TC-S provides 16 Gbps switching capacity and 6.5 Mpps forwarding for 64-byte packets. Its LAN Lite feature set supports 64 active VLANs. The switch includes 128 MB DRAM and 64 MB flash memory. Match packet-rate requirements and active segmentation to these limits when maintaining an existing access configuration.
WS-C2960+24TC-S is a Layer 2 access switch running LAN Lite, so inter-VLAN routing belongs to a separate router or Layer 3 switch. Its Gigabit uplinks connect the access device upstream rather than adding a routed-access feature set. Specify external routing when traffic must move between VLANs.
WS-C2960+24TC-S accepts backup DC power from PWR-RPS2300 rather than a second internal PSU. PWR-RPS2300 ships without a power supply; C3K-PWR-750WAC= provides the compatible AC supply, and CAB-RPS2300= is the connection cable. Confirm that the external backup assembly includes its power supply and connection cable before specifying the hardware.
WS-C2960+24TC-S has non-PoE access ports, whereas discontinued WS-C2960+24PC-S provides IEEE 802.3af PoE with a 370W budget for 24 ports. Both models use LAN Lite. The former matches separately powered legacy endpoints; the latter matches powered legacy configurations. Current procurement for the powered replacement chain leads to C1300-24FP-4G.
WS-C2960+24TC-S runs LAN Lite with 64 active VLANs, while discontinued WS-C2960+24TC-L runs LAN Base with 255. LAN Lite cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. Both models are discontinued: the former matches basic LAN Lite installations, while the latter matches existing installations requiring the LAN Base feature level.
C1300-24T-4G provides Gigabit access ports, whereas WS-C2960+24TC-S has 10/100 access ports. C1300-24T-4G is the current endpoint of the Gigabit replacement chain; the intermediary C1000-24T-4G-L is discontinued. Legacy hardware matches exact Fast Ethernet maintenance requirements, while the current replacement serves buyers requiring Gigabit connections to their endpoints.
