WS-C2960L-SM-8PS is a fanless Layer 2 desktop switch with eight 10/100/1000 RJ-45 PoE+ access ports and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed series runs Cisco IOS LAN Lite for small branch and office access, with browser-led configuration rather than full CLI administration. Access ports connect phones, wireless access points and other standards-compliant powered devices, while the dedicated uplink interfaces connect the local network upstream. The discontinued WS-C2960L-SM-8TS is the closest non-PoE sibling; its access ports carry data without supplying endpoint power. This Gigabit Ethernet configuration receives AC power through a fixed internal supply, rather than an external adapter, and uses passive cooling without chassis fans.
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS price for new stock is $784.73. WS-C2960L-SM-8PS refurb price is $411.60. WS-C2960L-SM-8PS is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity provides line-rate forwarding across the access ports and uplinks. 67W of available PoE power supports a mix of phones, wireless access points and other compliant endpoints. WS-C2960L-SM-8PS carries 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for software and configuration storage, while a 16000-entry MAC table sets the address-learning ceiling. Within Catalyst 2960-L access networks, STP/RSTP/MSTP control Layer 2 loops, LACP supports link aggregation, and IGMP snooping restricts multicast delivery to requesting receivers. The USB mini-B console takes priority over the RJ-45 console when both are connected, so local troubleshooting must use the active interface. 93W consumption with PoE informs AC feed and UPS sizing. The operating-temperature ceiling falls to 40°C at 3000 m. The fixed SFP interfaces do not provide 10G uplink operation.
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS is offered new sealed or certified refurbished; specify the condition and quantity on the purchase order for this switch. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM's warranty is up to a 3-year extended term for new units or up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty is eligibility-dependent, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs, with Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement.

For branch rollouts that place networking hardware on metal walls or beneath counters, CMPCT-MGNT-TRAY= provides an optional mounting tray with a magnet. The magnet must remain attached to the tray, not directly to the chassis. Specify the mounting kit and verify cable access before the PO.
For lab staging before a branch rollout, the initial browser setup uses 192.168.1.1 after the switch assigns a connected laptop an address through DHCP. Replace the default credentials after first login. Specify staging responsibilities and ensure a suitable local management connection is available before releasing the purchase order.
When standardizing access configurations across small offices, the ceiling of 256 active VLANs matters independently of the 4094 available VLAN IDs. A common VLAN numbering scheme cannot override the active-VLAN limit. Check each site's required active VLAN count and specify the configuration template before issuing the PO.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS has fixed 1G SFP uplinks and no removable uplink card. Changing transceivers cannot provide 10G connectivity through these interfaces or expand their native speed.
Redundant internal power supplies
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS uses one fixed internal AC supply without a second PSU bay. A redundant internal-power requirement needs a different switch, not an additional power module.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS reaches its last date of support on October 31, 2026. The current migration endpoint, C1300-8P-E-2G, changes power input to an external adapter and uses combo uplinks.

WS-C2960L-SM-8PS identifies a Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed switch with eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports and two 1G SFP uplinks. WS-C2960L identifies the family, SM identifies Smart Managed, and 8PS identifies the powered eight-port SFP-uplink configuration. LAN Lite is included without a separate license-tier suffix.
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS uses Cisco Configuration Professional's web UI for configuration and limited CLI for monitoring and troubleshooting. Access includes RJ-45 or USB mini-B console, SSH or Telnet, and Bluetooth through a USB dongle; SNMP supplies network monitoring. Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center and Network Plug and Play require their associated management licenses.
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and its last date of support is October 31, 2026. Its direct replacement, C1000-8P-2G-L, also reached end of sale on April 30, 2025. The migration chain now ends at C1300-8P-E-2G rather than the discontinued intermediate model.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-SM-8PS new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty is separate and subject to original-owner eligibility, with Cisco service ending October 31, 2026.
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS operates with the included LAN Lite base feature set, while Cisco DNA Essentials provides a separate management add-on with a minimum three-year term and five- or seven-year options. Smart Accounts manage licensing. When an add-on expires, renew it or deactivate it and reload to continue base operation.
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS provides a shared 67W PoE budget across eight PoE+ access ports, with a 30W per-port maximum. All eight ports support powered endpoints, but the shared budget prevents every port from delivering its individual maximum simultaneously. Specify the complete endpoint power requirement rather than relying only on port count.
No, WS-C2960L-SM-8PS has two fixed 1G SFP uplink interfaces and does not provide 10G uplink operation. Compatible SFP transceivers provide copper or fiber connections, but transceiver selection cannot increase the interface speed. There is no removable uplink card for adding faster uplinks to this configuration.
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS uses one fixed internal AC power supply, with 93W consumption when supplying PoE and an autoranging 110-220V AC input range. There is no second internal PSU bay. Use the input-consumption figure for facility planning and the separate 67W PoE budget when sizing powered endpoints.
RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= provides optional standard-rack mounting for the Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed compact switches, including WS-C2960L-SM-8PS. The brackets are not included with the switch. WS-C2960L-SM-8PS remains a desktop chassis measuring 268 mm wide, so specify RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= separately when the installation requires equipment-rack mounting.
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS supplies PoE+ through its eight access ports, whereas WS-C2960L-SM-8TS supplies data connectivity without endpoint power. Both models are discontinued. WS-C2960L-SM-8PS suits replacement purchases for powered phones or access points; WS-C2960L-SM-8TS suits matching an existing installation whose endpoints receive power separately.
WS-C2960L-SM-16PS has 16 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, compared with eight on WS-C2960L-SM-8PS. Both models are discontinued, so this is a port-density comparison for existing installations rather than a current-generation recommendation. WS-C2960L-SM-8PS matches eight-port replacement requirements; WS-C2960L-SM-16PS matches existing installations requiring sixteen access connections.
WS-C2960L-SM-8PS uses a fixed internal AC supply, whereas C1300-8P-E-2G uses an external power supply. C1300-8P-E-2G is the current migration endpoint after the discontinued C1000-8P-2G-L. The older switch suits matching an existing internal-power installation; the current model suits migration purchases that accommodate its external-power arrangement.
