WS-C2960L-8TS-LL is a fanless, managed Gigabit Ethernet desktop switch with eight data-only copper access ports and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. Its LAN Lite software supports Layer 2 switching and limited static routing, placing the configuration in the Layer 2+ category. The Catalyst 2960-L serves branch offices and out-of-wiring-closet installations where endpoints have their own power sources. Dedicated fiber uplink slots remain separate from the copper access connections, and the fixed uplink architecture does not require an uplink network card. The discontinued WS-C2960L-8PS-LL sibling adds PoE+ and a shared 67W endpoint-power budget; this data-only version does not deliver power through its access ports.
WS-C2960L-8TS-LL price for new stock is $698.25, a 41.9% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,201.00. WS-C2960L-8TS-LL refurb price is $446.25. WS-C2960L-8TS-LL is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity and 10 Gbps forwarding bandwidth define the eight-port model's switching performance. A 16000-entry MAC address table accommodates learned Ethernet destinations, while 256 active VLANs provide traffic segmentation. WS-C2960L-8TS-LL uses 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for software operation and image storage. LACP supports Ethernet channel formation, and RSTP and MSTP provide spanning-tree control. Traffic scheduling includes eight egress queues per port, with shaping and priority queuing for differentiated traffic treatment. RJ-45 and USB mini-B console connections provide local administrative access without using an access port. The Cisco IOS software also supports SPAN for traffic inspection and BPDU Guard for protecting enabled edge interfaces. Static routing requires explicit configuration; dynamic routing protocols are not supported. The internal power supply is fixed, and the chassis uses passive cooling rather than fans.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-8TS-LL new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. 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 before issuing the PO for this switch. Enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

In a remote branch office supporting 10 desktops, 5 IP phones and a local file server, IT managers deploy the WS-C2960L-8TS-LL Catalyst 2960L 8-port GigE switch with 2 x 1G SFP uplinks. They create separate VLANs for voice and data, aggregate uplinks to the corporate WAN over fiber, and enforce ACL-based security policies. Benefit: Simplified network management, secure traffic isolation, reliable uplink redundancy, and reduced capital expenditure without compromising performance.
A multi-location retail chain uses the Catalyst 2960L 8TS-LL to connect POS terminals, barcode scanners and wireless access points in each store. VLANs isolate payment-card traffic from guest Internet, while dual SFP ports link to the regional data center over single-mode fiber. Benefit: PCI-compliant data security, consistent gigabit throughput for POS, seamless guest Wi-Fi experience, and streamlined troubleshooting using Cisco LAN Lite Management interface.
On a factory floor, engineers deploy the WS-C2960L-8TS-LL to connect PLC controllers, environmental sensors and HD security cameras within a compact 1RU footprint. Two Gigabit SFP uplinks feed real-time telemetry into the central SCADA system. Benefit: Low-latency, high-availability links for predictive maintenance, VLAN-based segmentation of control and surveillance traffic, and a hardened Cisco switch designed for 24/7 industrial operation.
When an out-of-wiring-closet installation needs magnetic or DIN rail mounting, the compact switch accepts CMPCT-MGNT-TRAY or CMPCT-DIN-MNT, respectively. Treat mounting hardware as a separate purchasing decision from switch condition. Specify the mounting accessory PID and confirm available mounting space before issuing the hardware PO.
When standardizing encrypted administrative access across branch installations, SSH, Kerberos, and SNMPv3 require a cryptographic software image. Establish the required image before preparing the management configuration rather than assuming every image supports the same security functions. Include the software-image requirement in the staging instructions attached to the PO.
When reproducing an existing network in a staging lab, the switch supports 10240-byte jumbo Ethernet frames. Validate the intended frame size across connected test equipment before preparing the production configuration. Specify the required frame settings and the exact compatible SFP optics needed for the lab hardware order.
Switch-powered phones and access points
WS-C2960L-8TS-LL has data-only access ports and cannot power endpoints. C1300-8P-E-2G is the current PoE alternative in the replacement chain, retaining eight access ports but using external power.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C2960L-8TS-LL has fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not 10G uplinks. Its uplink architecture cannot be expanded through a removable network card.
Dynamic routing between network segments
WS-C2960L-8TS-LL supports static routing rather than dynamic routing protocols. Its allowance is 16 static routes, including the default route; routing changes require manual configuration.

WS-C2960L-8TS-LL identifies a Catalyst 2960-L switch with eight data-only Gigabit Ethernet ports, two 1G SFP uplinks, and LAN Lite. WS-C2960L is the family prefix; 8 is the access-port count; T denotes data-only copper ports, S identifies the SFP uplink configuration, and LL identifies LAN Lite.
WS-C2960L-8TS-LL is managed through the web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 or USB console, SNMP, Bluetooth access with an external dongle, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center, and Network Plug and Play. Centralized management needs separate licenses, while encrypted protocols require a cryptographic image.
WS-C2960L-8TS-LL ended Cisco sales on October 31, 2021, and reaches its last date of support on October 31, 2026. C1000-8T-2G-L was its replacement but is also discontinued; the migration chain now ends at C1300-8T-E-2G. Support planning must respect the remaining service deadline.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-8TS-LL new sealed or certified refurbished. New orders carry up to a 3-year extended warranty; certified refurbished orders carry up to a 1-year warranty. Both have 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the original end user, with Cisco service ending October 31, 2026.
WS-C2960L-8TS-LL runs LAN Lite and supports separately purchased Cisco DNA Essentials term licenses for centralized network-management features. C2960L-DNA-E-8-3Y is the three-year option; five- and seven-year options also exist. Specify centralized-management licensing separately from hardware condition rather than treating the term license as the installed software image.
WS-C2960L-8TS-LL replaces both WS-C2960C-8TC-L and WS-C2960C-8TC-S, whose Cisco end-of-sale date was October 30, 2020. Both predecessors used Fast Ethernet access ports; the replacement provides Gigabit Ethernet access. The older models reached their last date of support on October 31, 2025, so Cisco service has ended.
The eight-port Catalyst 2960-L has two fixed 1G SFP uplink slots and no removable uplink network-card bay. These slots support compatible SFP optics, not a 10G uplink upgrade. Match the optic to the intended link and specify its exact compatible part number when preparing the switch order.
Static routing is supported on WS-C2960L-8TS-LL from Cisco IOS Release 15.2(5)E2 onward, with 16 static routes including the default route. Dynamic routing protocols are not supported. Enable IP routing and configure interface addresses before adding routes; the software starts in Layer 2 switching mode.
The eight-port Catalyst 2960-L data-only switch measures 44 mm high, 268 mm wide, and 215 mm deep. Its compact chassis weighs 1.51 kg and uses fanless cooling. Select the installation location around those dimensions rather than assuming the unit has a full-width 19-inch rack chassis.
WS-C2960L-8PS-LL supplies PoE+ with a shared 67W budget, whereas WS-C2960L-8TS-LL provides data-only ports. Both retain eight Gigabit Ethernet access ports and two 1G SFP uplinks. Both are discontinued; the data-only model serves independently powered endpoints, while the PoE+ model serves endpoints needing switch-delivered power within that budget.
WS-C2960L-16TS-LL has 16 data-only Gigabit Ethernet access ports, compared with eight on WS-C2960L-8TS-LL. Both have two 1G SFP uplinks and LAN Lite. Both are discontinued; the eight-port model addresses smaller endpoint counts, while the 16-port model accommodates a larger access-port requirement.
C1300-8T-E-2G uses external power, whereas WS-C2960L-8TS-LL has an internal fixed power supply. C1300-8T-E-2G is the current replacement after the discontinued C1000-8T-2G-L. Existing installations needing the same internal-power chassis can specify the older unit; current replacement orders need the successor's external-power arrangement.
