WS-C2960G-24TC-L provides 20 dedicated 10/100/1000 access ports and four fixed dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks in a 1U rack-mount chassis. This managed, non-PoE switch ships with LAN Base software and operates as a standalone Ethernet switch. Each dual-purpose uplink offers a copper connection or an SFP connection, with only one interface active in each pair. The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series positions this Gigabit configuration for desktop and server connectivity in medium-sized businesses. The discontinued WS-C2960-24PC-L instead supplies PoE through 24 Fast Ethernet access ports, changing both endpoint power delivery and access speed. For an existing installation, the distinction is between retaining Gigabit data connections and supplying power to attached devices—not simply matching the number printed in the PID.
WS-C2960G-24TC-L price for new stock is $446.25, a 22.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $573.75. WS-C2960G-24TC-L refurb price is $69.07. WS-C2960G-24TC-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

32 Gbps switching capacity defines the switching fabric available for traffic between connected interfaces. 35.7 Mpps forwarding at 64-byte packet size provides a separate reference for small-packet workloads; bandwidth and packet rate should both inform traffic sizing. WS-C2960G-24TC-L carries 64 MB DRAM for runtime operation and 32 MB flash for local software storage. An 8000-entry MAC address table bounds the forwarding database, while configurable support for 255 IGMP groups sets the multicast membership scale. Administrators can use the CLI, browser-based Express Setup, Cisco Network Assistant, or SNMP-based management applications. Access control lists, port security, and DHCP snooping provide controls for attached devices and their traffic. Quality-of-service shaping and policing allow traffic policies to distinguish application requirements. For electrical planning, 72W measured consumption at full throughput is a workload reference rather than a claim of maximum draw.

When a lab must reproduce legacy Gigabit configurations before changes reach existing sites, the configurable MTU reaches 9000 bytes. Keep the test plan tied to the intended frame size and software image rather than assuming default settings. Specify the required image and staging checks before issuing the PO.
When existing offices need the same application traffic policy, rate limiting supports bandwidth allocations in increments as small as 1 Mbps. Translate the intended policy into configuration requirements rather than treating all application traffic alike. Check that the required allocation granularity matches the proposed configuration before specifying quantities for each site.
When an existing site needs a like-for-like spare rather than a hardware refresh, certified refurbished units are firmware verified and wiped to factory default. Require a clean boot as part of acceptance, then specify condition, spare quantity, and any missing rack hardware on the purchase order.
PoE-powered phones or access points
WS-C2960G-24TC-L does not supply power through its Ethernet ports. A deployment requiring switch-delivered endpoint power cannot use this model as its power source.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C2960G-24TC-L provides Gigabit dual-purpose uplinks, not 10G interfaces. Changing the transceiver does not turn these fixed Gigabit uplinks into faster interfaces or add another uplink architecture.
Hardware stacking under one control plane
WS-C2960G-24TC-L is a standalone fixed-configuration switch, not a hardware-stack member. Centralized management does not add dedicated stack connections or provide a shared hardware stacking fabric.
Active Cisco hardware service coverage
WS-C2960G-24TC-L passed its last support date on July 31, 2017. C9200L-24T-4G is the current endpoint of its replacement chain and is a 24-port data-only base switch.

WS-C2960G-24TC-L identifies a Catalyst 2960 Gigabit configuration with LAN Base installed. The WS-C2960G segment identifies the switch configuration, 24 corresponds to 24 active port positions, TC corresponds to copper access with dual-purpose copper/SFP uplinks, and L identifies LAN Base. Those positions comprise 20 dedicated access ports and four dual-purpose uplinks.
WS-C2960G-24TC-L supports CLI management, browser-based Express Setup, Cisco Network Assistant, and SNMP-based management applications. Cisco Network Assistant provides a graphical interface, wizards, and SmartPorts tools. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 support integration with network management systems, while Express Setup provides an initial browser-based configuration path.
LAN Base is installed on WS-C2960G-24TC-L, with Cisco IOS providing the operating software. LAN Base includes switching, security, and traffic-management capabilities for this configuration. Record the required software image when matching an existing installation, and keep that requirement separate from the hardware condition specified on the order.
WS-C2960G-24TC-L has 20 dedicated copper access ports and four dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks, allowing 24 active connections. Each uplink pairs a copper interface with an SFP interface, but only one can operate at a time. The four SFP cages therefore do not add four simultaneous connections beyond those uplink positions.
The Catalyst 2960 Gigabit configuration supports GLC-SX-MM= for multimode fiber and GLC-LH-SM= for multimode or single-mode fiber. These are Gigabit transceiver choices for the dual-purpose uplinks. Specify the transceiver PID against the installed fiber and remote interface; selecting an SFP does not increase the uplink speed beyond Gigabit Ethernet.
No, WS-C2960G-24TC-L operates as a standalone fixed-configuration switch rather than a hardware-stack member. Its uplinks are Ethernet interfaces, not dedicated stacking connections. Cisco Network Assistant provides centralized management, but that management arrangement does not create a hardware stack, a shared stacking fabric, or physical stack ports.
WS-C2960G-24TC-L supports internal 100-240V AC power and an external RPS connection. External backup uses PWR-RPS2300 with CAB-RPS2300=; PWR-RPS2300 includes its chassis and blower but no supply. C3K-PWR-750WAC= is a compatible supply option. The external assembly does not create a second internal PSU bay in the switch.
WS-C2960G-24TC-L occupies 1U and measures 44 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 328 mm deep, with a weight of 4.5 kg. RCKMNT-1RU= is the spare rack-mount kit for the series. Confirm mounting hardware, cabinet depth, cable clearance, and equipment support before specifying the rack installation.
WS-C2960G-24TC-L is discontinued: end of sale was July 31, 2012, and Cisco support ended July 31, 2017. Software maintenance ended July 31, 2015. These milestones distinguish remaining hardware inventory from an actively supported Cisco product; a new sealed unit does not restart the platform's service lifecycle.
WS-C2960G-24TC-L replaces the discontinued 15216-2950 and 15216-2950= switch PIDs. Both older ordering variants reached end of sale June 19, 2010. Treat the migration relationship separately from configuration compatibility: confirm interface assignments, attached equipment, and the required software configuration before substituting hardware in an existing installation.
C9200L-24T-4G is the current replacement-chain endpoint for WS-C2960G-24TC-L. The original migration was to discontinued WS-C2960S-24TS-L, followed by discontinued WS-C2960X-24TS-L, whose replacement is C9200L-24T-4G. The current endpoint is a 24-port data-only base switch, not an identical continuation of the original dual-purpose port arrangement.
WS-C2960G-24TC-L supplies Gigabit data connectivity without PoE, while discontinued WS-C2960-24PC-L supplies PoE on 24 Fast Ethernet access ports. The distinction affects both endpoint power and access speed. For legacy matching, the former suits Gigabit data connections; the latter represents a powered Fast Ethernet configuration, not a Gigabit PoE equivalent.
WS-C2960G-24TC-L has an external RPS connection, while discontinued WS-C2960G-8TC-L has no RPS input. The compact model also has seven dedicated Gigabit ports and one dual-purpose uplink. Compare these legacy configurations for rack-based installations requiring external power backup versus compact placement with fewer connections; neither is a current Cisco hardware offering.
C9200L-24T-4G is a 24-port data-only base switch, whereas WS-C2960G-24TC-L has 20 dedicated copper access ports and four dual-purpose uplinks. C9200L-24T-4G is the replacement-chain endpoint, not an exact port-layout match. The legacy PID suits exact-match sparing; the current base switch is the comparison for a hardware refresh rather than configuration duplication.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960G-24TC-L new sealed or certified refurbished. ORM coverage is up to 3-year extended for new hardware and up to 1 year for certified refurbished hardware, with 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original Limited Lifetime hardware warranty is no longer active: Cisco service and warranty ended July 31, 2017.
