WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL is a fanless, managed Layer 2 access switch combining 24 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports with four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. The Catalyst 2960-L chassis occupies one rack unit and serves branch offices, smaller business networks and out-of-the-wiring-closet access installations. Cisco IOS LAN Lite supplies the base feature set for locally configured switching rather than unmanaged operation. Copper connections carry data without delivering endpoint power, so attached equipment needs a separate power source. The discontinued WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL sibling adds PoE+ while retaining the same access density and uplink arrangement. This non-PoE access switch connects copper endpoints to upstream fiber links without a removable uplink card.
WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL price for new stock is $913.50, a 78.9% saving from the Cisco list price of $4,329.00. WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL refurb price is $1,537.79. WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

128 Gbps switching capacity supports the aggregate switching workload, alongside 64 Gbps forwarding bandwidth for the forwarding data path. WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL uses 512 MB of DRAM for running software and 256 MB of flash for image storage. 16000 MAC address entries provide learned-endpoint capacity for the access network. STP/RSTP/MSTP control Layer 2 topology, while LACP combines compatible links into Ethernet channels. IGMP snooping for IPv4 and IPv6 and MLD v1/v2 snooping restrict multicast distribution to requesting receivers. QoS provides eight egress queues and two thresholds per port for bandwidth control, shaping and priority queuing. Remote Monitoring exposes history, statistics, alarms and events for operational analysis. A single fixed AC supply rules out redundant internal power modules. 23.64W consumption at 100% traffic provides a measured full-traffic operating point for electrical planning; this figure is not an endpoint power budget or a power-supply rating.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; every condition includes 30-day returns, with terms applying. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition and PSU status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and required accessories on the purchase order; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is subject to original-end-user terms, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026. POs are accepted, government orders have Net-30 terms, and enterprise or volume purchases can use UK, EU, US and MEA regional stock and RMA with advance replacement.

In a mid-size branch office supporting 120 employees, the Cisco Catalyst 2960L 24 port GigE, 4 x 10G SFP+, LAN Lite switch consolidates desktops, IP phones and wireless AP uplinks over 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, while four 10G SFP+ ports aggregate trunk connectivity to the MPLS edge router. VLAN segmentation and QoS policies ensure prioritized VoIP and critical business application traffic. Outcome: Achieves 20 Gbps aggregate uplink bandwidth, reduces latency by 30%, and centralizes network management with Cisco IOS LAN Lite simplicity.
A retail chain deploys the Cisco Catalyst 2960L 24 port GigE, 4 x 10G SFP+, LAN Lite switch in each store to isolate POS terminals, guest Wi-Fi and inventory systems on dedicated VLANs across 24 GigE ports. The 10G SFP+ uplink connects to the regional data center, enabling real-time inventory synchronization and secure payment processing compliant with PCI DSS. Outcome: Delivers network segmentation for data security, improves transaction throughput by 40%, and streamlines VLAN management.
In a university building, 60 student workstations, IP surveillance cameras and wireless APs connect to Cisco Catalyst 2960L 24 port GigE, 4 x 10G SFP+, LAN Lite switches on each classroom floor. Four 10G SFP+ uplinks aggregate video streaming and VoIP traffic to the core distribution layer. With static routing and QoS profiles, educational video-on-demand and VoIP calls maintain consistent performance. Outcome: Enhances student experience with 50% faster streaming, simplifies edge deployment, and supports future bandwidth growth.
When replacement switches are staged before shipment, direct console access provides a local configuration path before network management is established. CAB-CONSOLE-USB connects a USB Type A host to the mini-B console interface. Specify the staging cable and verify the intended configuration before releasing the purchase order.
When several branches share an access-control template, policy size needs checking before hardware quantities are finalized. The switch supports 384 IPv4/MAC security ACEs, so an existing configuration cannot be accepted solely because its port assignments fit. Validate the required security rules against that limit before specifying the branch order.
When a branch rollout places switches in existing equipment racks, mounting hardware becomes a separate procurement check rather than a software decision. RCKMNT-1RU-2KX is compatible with the 24-port chassis. Specify RCKMNT-1RU-2KX where required and confirm which mounting accessories accompany the selected condition before issuing the purchase order.
PoE-powered phones and access points
WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL supplies no endpoint power. C1300-24P-4X is the current PoE migration alternative, retaining 24 Gigabit access ports and four 10G uplinks.
Redundant internal power supplies
WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL has one fixed internal power supply, not redundant internal power modules. A requirement for internal PSU redundancy therefore needs a different chassis.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
Cisco service for WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL ends October 31, 2026. C1300-24T-4X is the current migration endpoint; the intermediate C1000-24T-4X-L is also discontinued.

Stable LAN Lite switch with Cisco reliability.
WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL identifies a Catalyst 2960-L switch with 24 non-PoE Gigabit access ports, four 10G SFP+ uplinks and LAN Lite. WS-C2960L names the family, 24 names the port count, T corresponds to data-only access, Q corresponds to the 10G uplink configuration, and LL corresponds to the LAN Lite feature set.
WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL is managed through the Configuration Professional web UI, SSH or Telnet CLI, RJ-45 or USB console, SNMP, and Bluetooth access using an external USB dongle. Centralized management includes Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco DNA Center, with Network Plug and Play through APIC-EM or Cisco DNA Center; those management solutions require separate licenses.
WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and its last date of Cisco support is October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022. The immediate replacement, C1000-24T-4X-L, is also discontinued; the current forward replacement is C1300-24T-4X.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is subject to original-end-user terms, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026. ORM refurbishment and warranty are separate from Cisco coverage.
Catalyst 2960-L includes LAN Lite base capabilities and supports optional Cisco DNA Essentials add-ons with a minimum three-year term, plus five-year and seven-year options. C2960L-DNA-E-24-3Y is the 24-port three-year subscription. Cisco Smart Software Manager handles Smart Accounts; an expired add-on requires renewal or deactivation followed by a reload to retain base operation.
No, WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL does not provide PoE or PoE+ on its 24 copper access ports. Connected devices need power from another source rather than through this switch's Ethernet connections. Confirm the power arrangements for phones, access points and other endpoints before specifying this data-only configuration.
WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL has four fixed 10G SFP+ uplink ports, not a removable uplink module bay. Its upstream connections therefore use the built-in cages rather than an additional network card. Specify compatible transceivers for the intended fiber connection and confirm compatibility before adding optics to the purchase order.
The Catalyst 2960-L 24-port chassis supports RCKMNT-1RU-2KX for rack mounting. WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL measures 445 mm wide, 44 mm high and 240 mm deep. Confirm that RCKMNT-1RU-2KX accompanies the selected order condition or specify RCKMNT-1RU-2KX separately when the rack installation requires that hardware.
No, WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL uses a single fixed internal AC power supply rather than redundant internal PSU modules. Its AC input is rated at 110-220V. The power arrangement does not offer a second internal supply option, so internal PSU redundancy cannot be added by specifying another power module.
WS-C2960L-24PQ-LL supplies PoE+ from a shared 195W budget, whereas WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL provides data-only access ports. Both models are discontinued. The former matches legacy configurations with Ethernet-powered endpoints; the latter matches legacy configurations where attached devices receive power separately and endpoint power is not required from the switch.
WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL carries four 10G SFP+ uplinks, while WS-C2960L-24TS-LL carries four 1G SFP uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The 10G configuration matches legacy installations with faster upstream connections; the 1G configuration matches existing installations whose upstream interfaces and selected optics remain at Gigabit speed.
WS-C2960L-24TQ-LL is discontinued, while C1300-24T-4X is the current endpoint of its replacement chain. The intermediate C1000-24T-4X-L reached end of sale on April 30, 2025. The older switch fits like-for-like legacy sparing; C1300-24T-4X is the migration option for buyers replacing the discontinued product line.
Catalyst 2960-L supports 256 active VLANs from 4094 available VLAN IDs. The active-VLAN limit is distinct from the available identifier range, so a configuration cannot activate every available ID simultaneously. The switch also supports 64 spanning-tree instances; check both limits when validating an existing branch configuration.
Catalyst 2960-L supports STP/RSTP/MSTP, LACP, IGMP snooping for IPv4 and IPv6, and MLD v1/v2 snooping. These functions address loop control, link aggregation and multicast distribution rather than endpoint power delivery. BPDU guard and spanning-tree root guard provide additional controls when validating the intended access-network topology.
