WS-C2960L-8PS-LL provides fanless, managed Layer 2+ access switching in a desktop chassis, with eight Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 PoE+ ports and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The Catalyst 2960-L runs Cisco IOS with LAN Lite for branch-office connections serving IP phones, wireless access points and other standards-compliant powered endpoints. Uplink interfaces are built into the chassis rather than added through a removable network module. The discontinued WS-C2960L-8TS-LL differs by providing unpowered access ports. Perpetual PoE maintains endpoint power during a switch reload, separating that power-delivery behavior from the interruption to packet forwarding while the switch restarts.
WS-C2960L-8PS-LL price for new stock is $926.09, a 30.9% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,340.00. WS-C2960L-8PS-LL refurb price is $213.82. WS-C2960L-8PS-LL is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching bandwidth for the fixed interface configuration. 67W of shared PoE power requires endpoint allocations to remain within the aggregate budget, rather than treating each powered port as an independent maximum-power allocation. 93W consumption with PoE provides a planning figure for the electrical load with powered endpoints connected. Static routes, default routes and RIP support limited routed connectivity; routing requires configuration rather than a different network license. WS-C2960L-8PS-LL carries 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for its control functions and software storage. The address table accommodates 16000 MAC entries, while VLAN configuration supports 256 active VLANs and 64 spanning-tree instances. RSTP and MSTP handle spanning-tree convergence, and LACP supports link aggregation. DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard provide access-edge traffic controls. SNMP v1, v2c and v3 support monitoring. Hardware stacking is not supported.

An installed WS-C2960C-8PC-L needing replacement creates a maintenance purchase rather than a new-network standardization project. The predecessor reached end of sale on October 30, 2020, and names this model as a replacement. Specify configuration migration, endpoint requirements and the required hardware condition before issuing the PO.
When a branch rollout places switching on a metal surface or DIN rail rather than inside a full-width rack, mounting hardware becomes a separate order decision. CMPCT-MGNT-TRAY supports magnetic placement, while CMPCT-DIN-MNT supports DIN rail attachment. Specify the mounting method and corresponding accessory PID on the PO.
When a staging bench needs direct console access before network management is available, the workstation connector determines the accessory line item. CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 provides RJ-45 console connectivity, while CAB-CONSOLE-USB connects USB Type A to mini-B. Confirm the workstation connector and order the matching cable before the switch reaches staging.
10G uplinks to distribution
The fixed SFP uplinks operate at 1Gbps. No removable uplink-card bay is available, so a network module cannot turn this model into a 10G-uplink switch.
30W on every powered port
Eight endpoints drawing 30W require 240W, while this model shares 67W across its powered ports. Maximum per-port output cannot be delivered across every connection simultaneously.
Hardware stacking with shared control
Hardware stacking is unavailable on the Catalyst 2960-L. Separate chassis remain separate switches; a stacking kit cannot create a shared hardware control plane for this model.
Cisco service beyond October 2026
Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. C1300-8P-E-2G is the current forward replacement, but uses an external power supply and two 1G combo uplinks.

WS-C2960L-8PS-LL identifies the Catalyst 2960-L configuration with eight Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports, two 1G SFP uplinks and LAN Lite. WS-C2960L names the switch family, 8 identifies the access-port count, P identifies powered ports, S identifies SFP uplinks, and LL identifies the LAN Lite software tier.
WS-C2960L-8PS-LL is managed through Cisco Configuration Professional's web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 or USB console access, and SNMP. Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center and Network Plug and Play provide network-level administration. Bluetooth-assisted browser and CLI access requires an external USB Bluetooth dongle.
WS-C2960L-8PS-LL is discontinued: end of sale was October 31, 2021, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022. The direct replacement, C1000-8P-2G-L, is also discontinued, with end of sale April 30, 2025; the current forward replacement is C1300-8P-E-2G.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-8PS-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; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is separate, applies to the original end user, and ends with Cisco service on October 31, 2026.
WS-C2960L-8PS-LL includes a permanent LAN Lite base license and supports Cisco DNA Essentials as an add-on with 3-, 5- or 7-year terms. The base tier is bound to the hardware and cannot be changed. Smart Account management handles the add-on; at expiration, renew or deactivate it and reload.
WS-C2960L-8PS-LL replaces WS-C2960C-8PC-L, which reached end of sale on October 30, 2020. The predecessor provides eight Fast Ethernet PoE ports; the replacement moves access connections to Gigabit Ethernet while retaining eight powered ports. Treat the change as a hardware migration and specify endpoint requirements and configuration transfer before ordering.
WS-C2960L-8PS-LL provides a shared 67W PoE budget across eight powered access ports, with PoE+ supporting 30W per port within that aggregate limit. Eight simultaneous 30W allocations would require 240W, so maximum output cannot be assigned everywhere at once. Size the order against the actual endpoint power requirements.
The Catalyst 2960-L eight-port PoE+ configuration provides two fixed 1G SFP uplinks, separate from the eight copper access ports. The chassis does not accept a removable network uplink card. Confirm supported transceiver compatibility, the required connector and the link medium before adding uplink accessories to the purchase order.
The compact Catalyst 2960-L can use CMPCT-MGNT-TRAY for magnetic mounting or CMPCT-DIN-MNT for DIN rail mounting. WS-C2960L-8PS-LL has a desktop chassis measuring 44 mm high, 268 mm wide and 240 mm deep. Specify the chosen mounting accessory separately rather than treating the narrow chassis as a full-width rack switch.
No, WS-C2960L-8PS-LL uses a single fixed internal AC power supply rather than redundant internal modules. AC input is 100-240V, and consumption with PoE is 93W. A second internal supply cannot be added, so an order requiring internal PSU redundancy needs a different hardware configuration rather than an additional supply accessory.
The Catalyst 2960-L supports static and default routes plus RIP for IPv4 and IPv6, providing limited routing alongside access switching. Static routing is supported beginning with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(5)E2. Plan VLAN interface addressing, routing configuration and next-hop requirements before specifying this model for a routed deployment.
No, WS-C2960L-8PS-LL cannot form a hardware stack. The Catalyst 2960-L is not stackable, and management through network tools does not change that hardware limitation. Specify individual switches and their administration requirements rather than adding a stacking kit or stack cables to an order for this model.
WS-C2960L-8PS-LL provides PoE+ where WS-C2960L-8TS-LL has unpowered Gigabit access ports. Both belong to the discontinued Catalyst 2960-L series and retain two 1G SFP uplinks. The powered model suits maintenance orders for endpoints needing cable-delivered power; the unpowered model suits existing installations with locally powered devices.
WS-C2960L-8PS-LL has eight access ports where WS-C2960L-16PS-LL has sixteen. Both are discontinued PoE+ Catalyst 2960-L models with two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The eight-port model suits replacement orders preserving an eight-port installation; the sixteen-port model suits maintenance requirements needing the larger existing access-port configuration.
WS-C2960L-8PS-LL uses an internal AC power supply, while C1300-8P-E-2G uses an external power supply. C1300-8P-E-2G is the current forward replacement after the discontinued C1000-8P-2G-L. Existing-installation maintenance can require the older chassis configuration; new orders following the replacement chain need to account for the external supply arrangement.
