WS-C2960L-SM-24PS combines fanless operation with Layer 2 smart-managed access, 24 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports, PoE+, and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. Its full-width 1U chassis accommodates rack installation, while the powered access interfaces connect compatible IP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE endpoints. The Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed series targets branch offices and small-office networks, with an enhanced Cisco IOS LAN Lite image included. Uplink interfaces are built into the chassis rather than supplied through a removable network card. The discontinued WS-C2960L-SM-24TS differs by providing unpowered access ports, making the powered-port requirement the distinction between these otherwise closely related configurations.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PS price for new stock is $1,580.26. WS-C2960L-SM-24PS refurb price is $1,191.28. WS-C2960L-SM-24PS is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

56 Gbps switching capacity serves the installed access and uplink interfaces. A 16000-entry MAC table provides Layer 2 address-learning capacity, while STP, RSTP, and MSTP support spanning-tree operation. Traffic management includes eight egress queues per port, ingress policing, and DSCP mapping; IGMP snooping limits multicast delivery to requesting endpoints. WS-C2960L-SM-24PS carries 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for its operating image and configuration storage. Cisco Configuration Professional supplies the on-box web interface, while CLI access is limited to monitoring and troubleshooting rather than unrestricted configuration. The Catalyst 2960-L supports RJ-45 and USB console access alongside network management options. A 24W consumption figure at 100% traffic describes the traffic-test operating point; the separate 0.24 kVA maximum AC rating is the facility-planning figure and must not be relabeled as a measured wattage maximum.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-SM-24PS new sealed or certified refurbished, with new orders covered by up to 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished orders by up to 1 year; 30-day returns apply in either condition, subject to terms. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, PoE output under load on every powered port, and optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, and required accessories on the purchase order for this switch. ORM accepts POs for enterprise and volume orders, provides Net-30 for government, and handles RMA with advance replacement.

When several branch offices need a common VLAN plan, the switch supports 256 active VLANs from 4094 available VLAN IDs. Carry each site's segmentation requirements into the common configuration rather than assuming every available VLAN ID can be active simultaneously. Specify the active VLAN inventory before issuing a multi-site PO.
When spare hardware is staged in an unheated lab, the ambient temperature for a cold start must be at least 0°C, even though normal operation extends below freezing. That distinction matters when initializing a received unit after cold storage. Specify the staging temperature and power-on test environment before the PO.
When a hardware-spares order covers several operating regions, ORM provides regional stock and RMA handling across the UK, EU, US, and MEA. Keep the spare destination and return routing in the order instructions so the regional arrangement is explicit. Specify condition, quantity, and the intended RMA region before issuing the PO.
10G fiber uplinks to distribution
WS-C2960L-SM-24PS has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. C1300-24P-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks while retaining 24 Gigabit PoE access ports.
Dual internal power supplies
WS-C2960L-SM-24PS contains one fixed internal power supply. A requirement for redundant internal power modules cannot be met by adding a second supply to this chassis.
Unrestricted command-line configuration
WS-C2960L-SM-24PS uses web-based configuration and limits CLI support to monitoring and troubleshooting. A workflow requiring unrestricted command-line provisioning needs a different management implementation.

WS-C2960L-SM-24PS identifies a Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed switch with 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports and four 1G SFP uplinks. WS-C2960L identifies the family, SM marks Smart Managed, 24 gives the access-port count, P indicates powered ports, and S identifies this SFP-uplink configuration. LAN Lite is included without another license suffix.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PS uses the on-box Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, with limited CLI monitoring and troubleshooting. Access options include RJ-45 and USB console connections, SSH or Telnet, and Bluetooth through an external USB dongle. Family network-management options include SNMP, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco Network Plug and Play, and Cisco DNA Center.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PS provides a shared 195W PoE budget across 24 powered access ports, with PoE+ supporting 30W per port. The aggregate budget does not allow every port to deliver its individual maximum simultaneously. Specify the endpoint power inventory and allocation requirements before selecting the quantity of switches for the order.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PS has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not 10G SFP+ uplinks or a removable uplink-card bay. Those uplinks are separate from its copper access interfaces. Specify compatible transceivers and the required fiber connection separately, and do not include an uplink network module as an expansion item for this configuration.
The Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed series includes enhanced Cisco IOS LAN Lite base capabilities; Cisco DNA Essentials add-ons use a minimum 3-year term, with 5- and 7-year options. Smart Accounts manage add-on entitlements. When a term expires, renew the add-on or deactivate it and reload to retain base operation.
No, WS-C2960L-SM-24PS includes one fixed internal AC power supply rather than redundant plug-in power modules. A second internal supply is not an expansion option for this chassis. Specify the AC power connection and hardware-sparing requirements on the order instead of adding a redundant internal PSU as an accessory.
Yes, the Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed 24-port PoE configuration uses a full-width 1U chassis measuring 44 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 265 mm deep. WS-C2960L-SM-24PS weighs 3.36 kg. Specify the rack location and check equipment depth and cable clearance when preparing the installation and purchase order.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PS is discontinued: end-of-sale was October 31, 2021, software maintenance ended October 31, 2022, and the last date of Cisco support is October 31, 2026. Vulnerability and security support also ends October 31, 2026. Existing support remains subject to entitlement; reseller hardware condition does not extend these milestones.
ORM offers WS-C2960L-SM-24PS new sealed or certified refurbished: new orders receive up to 3-year extended coverage; refurbished orders receive up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty carries original-owner and discontinuance restrictions; Cisco service ends October 31, 2026.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PS powers its 24 access ports through PoE+, whereas WS-C2960L-SM-24TS provides non-PoE access ports. Both configurations retain four 1G SFP uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The powered model suits installed-base replacement involving PoE endpoints; the non-PoE configuration suits existing installations whose connected devices receive power separately.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PQ has four 10G SFP+ uplinks, while WS-C2960L-SM-24PS has four 1G SFP uplinks. Both are discontinued 24-port Gigabit PoE+ configurations. For installed-base replacement, the PS configuration matches existing Gigabit uplink requirements; the PQ configuration matches installations that already require the faster uplink interface class.
WS-C2960L-SM-24PS is discontinued, while C1300-24P-4G is the current successor at the end of its replacement chain. Both configurations have 24 Gigabit PoE access ports and four 1G SFP uplinks. The older model addresses installed-base replacement; the current successor addresses procurement that excludes discontinued hardware.
The Catalyst 2960-L supports eight egress queues per port, priority queuing, ingress policing, and DSCP mapping for traffic treatment. The series provides 64 ingress policers per port. Specify the required traffic classes and policy settings before ordering; these mechanisms concern packet handling rather than increasing physical access-port or uplink speeds.
