WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL combines fanless operation with 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks in a managed Layer 2+ switch. The full-width, 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Catalyst 2960-L family and runs the LAN Lite feature set for branch-office access. Built-in uplink interfaces connect upstream without a removable network card, while the copper access interfaces accommodate standards-compatible powered endpoints. The discontinued WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL has the matching access-port count and uplink configuration but does not supply endpoint power. Voice VLAN separates telephone traffic from data traffic, and multidomain authentication allows a phone and PC to authenticate through the same access connection. Port-based access control lists apply security policies to individual Layer 2 interfaces.
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL price for new stock is $6,152.77, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $12,305.54. WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL refurb price is $1,664.25. WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

128 Gbps switching capacity serves the access and uplink configuration; forwarding bandwidth is 64 Gbps. 195W of shared PoE power requires allocation across attached devices rather than assuming maximum output on every powered port. Static and default routing support predetermined paths without dynamic route learning. The control system uses 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash, while 16000 MAC entries provide address-learning capacity. WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL supports 256 active VLANs, so segmentation plans must remain within that simultaneous-use limit. Browser-based Cisco Configuration Professional and SNMP provide configuration and monitoring options. IGMP snooping limits multicast delivery to requesting receivers, and per-port storm control constrains broadcast, multicast, and unicast traffic. The fixed internal supply provides no redundant PSU arrangement. Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series switches require at least 0°C ambient temperature for a cold start, despite supporting a lower operating temperature after startup.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL in new sealed and certified refurbished condition, with new orders offering up to a 3-year extended warranty, refurbished orders up to 1 year, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, including power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition, and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, quantity, and required accessories on the purchase order. Enterprise and volume purchasing supports PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When an installed-base spare must be staged before release, local console access allows the replacement configuration to be prepared separately from the live network. Specify CAB-CONSOLE-USB for a USB console connection or CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 for an RJ-45 console connection, and include the selected cable on the purchase order.
When maintenance includes switch reloads but attached devices need power to remain present, Perpetual PoE maintains PoE delivery during the reload. Treat power continuity separately from network availability, verify endpoint behavior during staging, and specify the required acceptance checks before issuing the purchase order.
When several branch switches need repeatable initial provisioning, DHCP auto configuration can obtain settings through a boot server rather than requiring every configuration step locally. Define the bootstrap network, server reachability, and intended starting configuration together, then specify the staging requirements for each unit on the purchase order.
Full-power PoE+ on every port
The 195W shared budget cannot power 24 ports at 30W simultaneously. Endpoint allocations must remain within the total budget regardless of how many powered ports are available.
Dynamic routing at the access edge
Static and default routes are supported, but dynamic routing protocols are not. Networks requiring automatic route learning or dynamic routing adjacency cannot use this configuration for that function.
Hardware stacking across multiple switches
Catalyst 2960-L cannot join a hardware stack. Multiple standalone units do not provide a shared stack control plane or stack backplane; each unit requires separate configuration.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL reaches its last date of support on October 31, 2026. C1300-24P-4X is the current successor after the discontinued C1000-24P-4X-L replacement.

WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL identifies a Catalyst 2960-L switch: WS-C2960L names the family, 24 denotes 24 Gigabit access ports, P denotes PoE+, Q identifies four 10G SFP+ uplinks, and LL denotes LAN Lite. The complete part number distinguishes this powered, 10G-uplink configuration from other members of the family.
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL supports Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI through SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 or USB console, Bluetooth with an external USB dongle, and SNMP. Centralized paths include Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center, and Cisco Network Plug and Play through APIC-EM or Cisco DNA Center; these network-management solutions require separate licenses.
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. C1000-24P-4X-L, its direct replacement, also reached end of sale on April 30, 2025. The replacement chain continues to C1300-24P-4X, avoiding another discontinued model when specifying a migration.
ORM offers WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers eligible original end users, subject to discontinuance limits; Cisco service ends October 31, 2026.
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL runs the LAN Lite base image and supports the Cisco DNA Essentials add-on, offered in 3-, 5-, or 7-year terms with a 3-year minimum. Cisco Smart Accounts handle ordering and license management. After expiration, renew the add-on or deactivate it and reload to continue operating with base capabilities.
No, WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL shares a 195W PoE+ budget across 24 powered access ports, although individual ports support 30W. Power allocation must stay within the shared budget: 24 x 30W would require 720W. The port count therefore does not mean every connected device can draw the per-port maximum simultaneously.
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL has four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks rather than a removable uplink card. Compatible media must match the upstream connection and intended link. Specify the required optics or connection media with the switch order instead of assuming that specifying the switch alone defines a complete fiber link.
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL supports static and default routing rather than dynamic routing protocols, placing this configuration in the Layer 2+ category. Static routing is supported from Cisco IOS Release 15.2(5)E2. Confirm the firmware required for the intended configuration and define route changes operationally rather than expecting routes to be learned dynamically.
The Catalyst 2960-L WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL uses a full-width 1U rack-mount chassis measuring 44 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 265 mm deep. RCKMNT-1RU-2KX is compatible with the 24-port model. Specify the mounting hardware and verify its inclusion on the order before scheduling rack installation.
No, Catalyst 2960-L switches do not support hardware stacking, so WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL operates as a standalone switch rather than a stack member. Interconnecting switches does not create a shared hardware stack. A purchase requiring stack membership, a stack backplane, or a shared stack control plane needs different switching hardware.
No, WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL has a single fixed internal AC power supply and no redundant PSU option. The chassis does not provide an empty second internal supply bay to populate later. Specify the unit's AC connection in the order; redundant internal power is not an upgrade path for this model.
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL has a 240 VA maximum input rating and a 23.76W consumption figure at 100% traffic with 10G uplinks. These are different measurements, not interchangeable watt values. The traffic-test figure must not be treated as the supply requirement for delivering the full PoE budget to connected endpoints.
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL supplies PoE+ from its access ports; WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL is non-PoE. Both discontinued models have 24 Gigabit access ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. The powered configuration is for compatible endpoints without local adapters, while the data-only variant is for endpoints already receiving power separately.
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas WS-C2960L-24PS-LL provides four 1G SFP uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The former matches existing 10G distribution connections; the latter matches 1G uplink designs. Select by the required upstream interface speed rather than treating the two port configurations as interchangeable.
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL has an October 31, 2026 Cisco support cutoff, while C1300-24P-4X is the current model at the end of its replacement chain. Both configurations retain 24 Gigabit powered access ports and four 10G uplinks. The older unit serves installed-base matching; C1300-24P-4X serves replacement purchases.
