WS-C2960CX-8TC-L is a fanless, managed compact access switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet data ports and four fixed 1G uplinks: two copper ports and two SFP slots. Its desktop chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960-CX family and runs LAN Base. Static routing gives the included image Layer 2+ capability. Independently powered workstations and other data endpoints fit the non-PoE configuration. The discontinued WS-C2960CX-8PC-L is the corresponding PoE+ sibling. All four uplinks can operate simultaneously, rather than sharing copper and fiber connections as combo ports.
WS-C2960CX-8TC-L price for new stock is $787.50, a 49.6% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,561.00. WS-C2960CX-8TC-L refurb price is $216.30. WS-C2960CX-8TC-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

24 Gbps switching capacity handles traffic across the built-in interfaces. 17.9 Mpps forwarding at a 64-byte packet size provides the packet-processing figure for traffic sizing. Sixteen static routes are permitted under LAN Base; larger hardware route-resource allocations do not remove that software limit. WS-C2960CX-8TC-L carries 512 MB DRAM and 128 MB flash for operating software and image storage. Cisco Catalyst Compact Switches support LACP for link aggregation and SSH and SNMPv3 for management access. 18.8W measured consumption at 100% throughput provides a load reference for electrical planning, distinct from the 30W power rating. Hardware stacking is not supported.
ORM offers WS-C2960CX-8TC-L in new sealed and certified refurbished condition, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, every port linking at rated speed, and optics bay recognition, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, delivery region, and required mounting hardware before submitting the purchase order. POs are accepted for enterprise and volume orders, with Net-30 available for government.

When a legacy compact-switch estate needs replacement units, WS-C2960CX-8TC-L follows discontinued WS-C2960C-8TC-L and WS-C2960CG-8TC-L hardware. Their end-of-sale dates were October 30, 2020, and October 30, 2016, respectively. Confirm the predecessor on the asset register and specify the connections and configuration that the replacement order must retain.
When replacement units are staged before delivery, reserve access to the RJ-45 console or USB mini-B console for initial configuration. Prepare the switch IP address, subnet mask, and access credentials before testing the management connection. Specify the console connection required by the staging workstation and record the intended configuration on the order.
When an installed estate needs replacement spares, define the advance-replacement RMA arrangement before deciding how many units to hold locally. ORM supports regional stock and RMA handling in the UK, EU, US, and MEA. Identify the receiving region and the required spare quantities on the purchase order.
PoE power for connected endpoints
WS-C2960CX-8TC-L supplies data only, not PoE. C9200CX-8P-2X2G-E provides eight PoE+ access ports with a 240W budget as the current compact replacement option for powered endpoints.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C2960CX-8TC-L limits its uplinks to 1G. C9200CX-12T-2X2G-E provides two 10G SFP+ uplinks and increases access-port density from eight to twelve ports.
More than sixteen static routes
LAN Base on WS-C2960CX-8TC-L permits sixteen static routes. A design requiring more configured routes exceeds that limit; hardware route-resource allocations do not expand the software allowance.

WS-C2960CX-8TC-L identifies a Catalyst 2960-CX switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet data ports, two 1G copper uplinks, two 1G SFP uplinks, and LAN Base. The C2960CX portion identifies the family, 8 describes access-port density, TC distinguishes the data-port configuration, and L identifies the included software image.
WS-C2960CX-8TC-L supports Device Manager web access, Cisco IOS CLI through RJ-45 or USB console, SSH or Telnet, Cisco Network Assistant, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. SNMP supports management integration. Smart Install and Auto Smartports automate configuration, while Cisco Active Advisor provides cloud-based inventory and lifecycle information rather than direct switch configuration.
Yes, WS-C2960CX-8TC-L reached end of sale on April 30, 2024, and its last date of Cisco support is April 30, 2029. General software maintenance releases ended April 30, 2025. Continued support and security coverage depend on eligible service or warranty terms, not simply on the hardware remaining operational.
ORM offers WS-C2960CX-8TC-L new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Both conditions carry 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty applies to the original owner, with Cisco service ending April 30, 2029.
WS-C2960CX-8TC-L includes LAN Base; Cisco DNA Essentials is a separate add-on subscription through C2960CX-DNA-E-8=, available for 3, 5, or 7 years with a 3-year minimum. The purchase order should distinguish the included LAN Base image from the selected Cisco DNA Essentials subscription term and its management functions.
WS-C2960CX-8TC-L replaces discontinued WS-C2960C-8TC-L and WS-C2960CG-8TC-L. WS-C2960C-8TC-L reached end of sale on October 30, 2020; WS-C2960CG-8TC-L reached end of sale on October 30, 2016. These relationships identify the legacy replacement paths, but WS-C2960CX-8TC-L is itself discontinued, so refresh purchases also require lifecycle review.
Yes, WS-C2960CX-8TC-L has four independent 1G uplinks: two copper Ethernet ports and two SFP slots, all usable simultaneously. These are fixed interfaces rather than a removable uplink card. The SFP cages do not accept SFP+ modules, so installing a 10G transceiver cannot create a 10G uplink.
No, Catalyst 2960-CX switches do not support hardware stacking. WS-C2960CX-8TC-L can be managed individually or through supported switch-cluster tools, but management grouping does not create a hardware stack. Specify separate switch management and uplink connections instead of ordering stacking kits or stacking cables for this model.
WS-C2960CX-8TC-L supports static routing with a sixteen-static-route limit under LAN Base, giving its routing capability a Layer 2+ classification rather than dynamic Layer 3 routing. Hardware allocations for directly connected and indirect routes are separate resource limits; they do not expand the permitted number of configured static routes.
Yes, Catalyst 2960-CX switches can be installed in a standard rack using RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= brackets, although WS-C2960CX-8TC-L has a desktop-sized chassis. Specify RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= for that rack installation or CMPCT-DIN-MNT= for DIN-rail mounting. The required mounting accessory depends on the installation position rather than the switch's chassis height alone.
WS-C2960CX-8PC-L supplies PoE+ with a shared 124W budget, while WS-C2960CX-8TC-L supplies data only. Both are discontinued. The data-only version suits independently powered endpoints; the PoE+ version matches legacy powered-endpoint configurations. Current PoE+ migration orders instead use C9200CX-8P-2X2G-E, the compact replacement for the powered model.
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S ships with IP Base, while WS-C2960CX-8TC-L ships with LAN Base. Both models are discontinued. LAN Base serves legacy switching-focused estates; IP Base addresses legacy routing requirements. Buyers moving beyond those discontinued licenses should follow their replacement paths rather than assuming the included software images are interchangeable.
C9200CX-12T-2X2G-E provides twelve data access ports, compared with eight on WS-C2960CX-8TC-L. The Catalyst 9200CX model is the replacement for the discontinued Catalyst 2960-CX model. Eight-port legacy sparing and twelve-port refresh purchases require different port-density specifications, even when the connected endpoints are independently powered.
