WS-C2960G-8TC-L is a fanless, managed Layer 2 desktop switch with seven dedicated 10/100/1000 copper access ports and one fixed Gigabit dual-purpose uplink. The uplink accepts either a copper connection or an SFP fiber connection, with only one interface active at a time. LAN Base is installed, and the access ports provide data connectivity without supplying endpoint power. The Catalyst 2960 family includes compact models for locations outside the wiring closet, including classrooms and conference rooms. This compact Gigabit Ethernet switch combines a desktop chassis with configurable switching rather than unmanaged operation. WS-C2960PD-8TT-L differs in power input: that discontinued compact sibling can receive power through its dedicated PoE input port, whereas this model uses internal AC power.

32 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching fabric for local Ethernet traffic. 11.9 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte packets, giving a separate packet-rate figure for evaluating small-frame traffic. WS-C2960G-8TC-L carries 64 MB of DRAM and 32 MB of flash memory for its operating software and configuration. The configurable MAC address table accommodates 8000 entries, while support for 255 IGMP groups provides a multicast scale reference. Gigabit bridging supports a 9000-byte MTU and a maximum Ethernet frame size of 9018 bytes, so connected equipment must use compatible frame settings. Access control lists restrict traffic, DHCP snooping identifies untrusted DHCP sources, and QoS classification and prioritization distinguish traffic handling requirements. Spanning Tree Protocol supports redundant Layer 2 topology control. 30W maximum power consumption establishes the chassis allowance for AC power planning without an endpoint PoE load. The chassis has no RPS connector, so an external redundant-power-system connection cannot be added to this model.
Order WS-C2960G-8TC-L in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, specifying the quantity and required accessories on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, and PSU status; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM's warranty is up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's original limited lifetime coverage and service ended July 31, 2018. Enterprise and volume orders have PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

An existing access configuration needs a bench replacement before the production cutover. Traffic rate limiting in 1 Mbps increments allows the staging plan to reproduce a rate-limited edge configuration rather than testing links alone. Define the acceptance configuration, test traffic, and ordered quantity before releasing the PO.
A branch installation places the switch near accessible endpoint cabling rather than inside a locked wiring closet. CBLGRD-C2960G-8TC= is the matching cable guard for this compact model. Separate physical-access requirements from the electronics order, and specify the guard as its own line item before the PO is approved.
PoE power for connected endpoints
WS-C2960G-8TC-L provides data connectivity without PoE output. Connected phones, access points, or cameras must receive power independently rather than through the access ports.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C2960G-8TC-L has a Gigabit combo uplink, not 10G. C9200CX-12T-2X2G-E offers two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and changes the access-port count to 12.
Active Cisco hardware support
Cisco service for WS-C2960G-8TC-L ended July 31, 2018. The migration chain ends at C9200CX-12T-2X2G-E, a current compact replacement with 12 data access ports.

WS-C2960G-8TC-L identifies the Gigabit Ethernet member of the Catalyst 2960 family: WS-C2960G denotes the switch family and Gigabit access, 8 covers seven dedicated copper ports plus one dual-purpose uplink, TC identifies copper connectivity with a shared copper/SFP uplink, and L identifies the installed LAN Base image.
WS-C2960G-8TC-L is managed through the CLI, browser-based Express Setup, Cisco Network Assistant, or SNMP-based tools such as CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution. These provide configuration and monitoring paths for a managed switch. Define the administrative access method and deployment configuration before placing the unit into service.
WS-C2960G-8TC-L reached end of sale on July 29, 2013, and Cisco support ended July 31, 2018. Purchasing remaining new sealed stock does not restart Cisco's support lifecycle. Treat the hardware as a legacy model and distinguish like-model sparing from a purchase requiring a currently supported replacement.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960G-8TC-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended coverage for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco's original limited lifetime hardware warranty and service ended July 31, 2018.
LAN Base is the software image installed on WS-C2960G-8TC-L. The supplied image is part of this model's identity, not an optional uplink or power accessory. Specify the software image separately from the deployment configuration when preparing the order, so the required configuration handoff is explicit.
No, WS-C2960G-8TC-L allows only one interface of its dual-purpose Gigabit uplink to be active at a time. The copper socket and SFP cage share that uplink rather than providing two simultaneous connections. Choose the intended copper or fiber connection before specifying the uplink accessories.
RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= is the rack-mount kit for the compact Catalyst 2960 Gigabit switch, WS-C2960G-8TC-L. The switch remains a desktop-width chassis rather than a full-width rack chassis. Include RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= as a separate accessory when the purchase requires rack installation instead of desktop placement.
No, WS-C2960G-8TC-L is a standalone switch rather than a hardware-stacking model. Cisco Network Assistant provides centralized management, but that management path does not turn the chassis into a hardware stack. Specify individual switches and their configurations when planning replacements or additional units for an existing installation.
WS-C2960-24LT-L supplies PoE on eight access ports, while WS-C2960G-8TC-L supplies no endpoint power. Both are discontinued models. The PoE model addresses powered-endpoint requirements; the compact Gigabit model serves independently powered endpoints. Establish whether the order is for legacy sparing before selecting either discontinued part.
WS-C2960G-8TC-L uses internal AC power, while WS-C2960PD-8TT-L can receive power through its dedicated PoE input port. Both are discontinued compact models. The AC-powered model requires a local AC connection; the powered-device model addresses installations supplying switch power from an upstream PoE connection rather than local AC.
C9200CX-12T-2X2G-E provides 12 dedicated Gigabit data access ports, compared with seven on WS-C2960G-8TC-L. The former is the current compact model at the end of the migration chain; the latter is discontinued. Choose the legacy model for like-model sparing or the current model when the order requires expanded access density.
C9200CX-12T-2X2G-E is the current model at the end of the WS-C2960G-8TC-L migration chain. The original replacement was WS-C2960CG-8TC-L, followed by WS-C2960CX-8TC-L; both intermediates are discontinued. The final model has 12 data access ports, so a refresh order is not a port-for-port purchase of the same chassis.
