WS-C2960L-16PS-LL is a fanless, managed 16-port Gigabit PoE+ desktop access switch with two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. Cisco Catalyst 2960-L switches serve branch offices and out-of-the-wiring-closet installations, connecting phones, wireless access points and other standards-compliant powered devices without a full-width rack chassis. LAN Lite is the included Cisco IOS software image, and static routing gives the base configuration Layer 2+ functionality. The discontinued WS-C2960L-16TS-LL is the corresponding non-PoE sibling for externally powered endpoints. Voice VLAN separates telephony traffic from other access traffic for administration and troubleshooting of mixed endpoint connections. The uplinks are built in rather than supplied by a removable network card.
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL price for new stock is $1,247.39. WS-C2960L-16PS-LL refurb price is $322.59. WS-C2960L-16PS-LL is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

36 Gbps switching capacity handles aggregate traffic across the access interfaces and uplinks. WS-C2960L-16PS-LL provides 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for operating state and image storage. The forwarding plane learns 16000 unicast MAC addresses for endpoint-based switching. Configuration limits include 256 active VLANs from 4094 available VLAN IDs, so not every available identifier can be active simultaneously. LACP creates Ethernet channels, while RSTP/MSTP control loop avoidance on redundant links. Port-based ACLs, DHCP snooping, BPDU Guard and 802.1X apply access-interface controls. Cisco Configuration Professional provides browser-based configuration; Telnet, SSH with a cryptographic image, and the RJ-45 or USB mini-B console provide CLI access. 157W consumption with PoE includes powered-device load for facility sizing rather than representing the lower switch-only power case. A second internal redundant power supply cannot be added to the single fixed-supply chassis.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C2960L-16PS-LL new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; both conditions have 30-day returns, and terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed links on every port, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition and PSU status; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and required accessories on the PO; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty remains subject to original-owner eligibility and the October 31, 2026 service deadline. Enterprise and volume POs are accepted, with Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US and MEA regional stock/RMA operations.

Lifecycle Status | End-of-sale October 31, 2021; support ends October 31, 2026 |
Replacement PID | Current C1300-16P-2G; intermediate C1000-16P-2G-L discontinued |
When a branch still uses the discontinued WS-C2960C-12PC-L, the refresh starts from twelve Fast Ethernet powered ports and LAN Base, not an identical software configuration. Reconcile the existing feature set and endpoint inventory with the replacement configuration, then specify the required management functions before the PO.
When a bench build needs console access before network credentials are configured, choose CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 for the RJ-45 console or CAB-CONSOLE-USB for the USB mini-B console. Match the cable to the staging computer rather than assuming its network lead serves the console, and specify the console cable on the PO.
When an unheated branch is brought online, cold-start conditions need a separate check from the operating range. A cold start requires at least 0°C ambient temperature, even where subsequent operation is permitted below freezing. Check the site's startup temperature and installation conditions before specifying the branch order.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL has two fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not 10G interfaces; the uplink architecture has no removable network card for a speed upgrade.
Maximum PoE+ on every port
Sixteen simultaneous 30W endpoints exceed the shared 120W budget. The 30W rating is a per-port ceiling, not maximum output available across every powered port together.
Dual internal power supplies
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL uses one fixed internal power supply. The chassis does not accept a second internal redundant supply, so supply-module redundancy cannot be added.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
Cisco service for WS-C2960L-16PS-LL ends October 31, 2026. C1300-16P-2G is the current successor through the discontinued intermediate replacement C1000-16P-2G-L.

WS-C2960L-16PS-LL identifies a Catalyst 2960-L switch: WS-C2960L names the family, 16 identifies sixteen access ports, P identifies powered PoE+ ports, S identifies SFP uplinks, and LL identifies LAN Lite. The configuration has two 1G SFP uplinks rather than the four-uplink configurations offered elsewhere in the series.
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL supports Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 or USB mini-B console, SNMP, and Bluetooth access using an external USB dongle. SSH requires a cryptographic image. Cisco DNA Center, Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco Network Plug and Play provide additional licensed network-management paths.
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL is discontinued: its end-of-sale date was October 31, 2021, and its last Cisco support date is October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022, while vulnerability/security support ends October 31, 2026. The current successor is C1300-16P-2G, through the discontinued C1000-16P-2G-L replacement.
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL uses LAN Lite locally; Cisco DNA Essentials is the separate management license with three-, five-, or seven-year terms and a three-year minimum. C2960L-DNA-E-16-3Y is the three-year PID. Centralized Cisco DNA Center and Cisco Network Plug and Play functions require corresponding licensing rather than a different base network image.
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL replaces WS-C2960C-12PC-L, a twelve-port Fast Ethernet PoE model with LAN Base whose end-of-sale date was October 30, 2020. The older model's Cisco support ended October 31, 2025. The replacement changes access speed, port count and software image, so check the previous configuration rather than assuming feature parity.
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL supplies up to 30W per powered port from a shared 120W PoE+ budget. A fully populated switch cannot allocate each port its individual maximum simultaneously. Endpoint requests must be sized against aggregate capacity; dynamic allocation manages demand, and Perpetual PoE maintains endpoint power during switch reloads.
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL cannot provide 10G uplinks; its two built-in SFP uplinks operate at 1G, and there is no removable uplink network-card bay. Select compatible transceivers for the intended connection medium and remote interface. Changing the transceiver does not turn these fixed 1G interfaces into 10G SFP+ uplinks.
The 16-port Catalyst 2960-L has a desktop chassis, and RCKMNT-1RU-2KX and RCKMNT-REC-2KX do not fit this model. Those accessories are restricted to 24-port and 48-port switches. WS-C2960L-16PS-LL is 268 mm wide, so specify its placement separately rather than ordering either full-width rack accessory.
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL does not support a second internal redundant supply; one fixed internal AC power supply powers the chassis. Consumption with PoE reaches 157W, compared with 26W without PoE, so facility sizing must include endpoint load. A second plug-in supply is not an ordering option for this model.
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL supports static routing under LAN Lite, giving the base configuration Layer 2+ functionality. Static routes suit designs using explicitly configured paths rather than dynamically learned routes. Confirm the installed Cisco IOS release against the required IPv4 or IPv6 configuration before ordering, because routing capability depends on the software release.
Catalyst 2960-L supports LACP, RSTP and MSTP for link aggregation and loop-controlled Layer 2 topologies. Configuration limits include 256 active VLANs and 64 spanning-tree instances. Include the required port-channel and spanning-tree behavior in the configuration review rather than treating all available VLAN identifiers as simultaneously active.
WS-C2960L-16PS-LL supplies PoE+, whereas WS-C2960L-16TS-LL has non-PoE access ports; both have sixteen Gigabit access ports and two 1G SFP uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The powered model suits legacy matching orders with PoE endpoints; the non-powered model suits externally powered devices when retaining an existing Catalyst 2960-L configuration.
C1300-16P-2G is the current successor, while WS-C2960L-16PS-LL is discontinued and reaches its last Cisco support date on October 31, 2026. The replacement chain passes through discontinued C1000-16P-2G-L. Existing equipment-matching orders may require the legacy part; buyers planning a current-model migration should specify C1300-16P-2G instead.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-16PS-LL new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers eligible original owners only until October 31, 2026, when Cisco service ends.
