WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M is a six-switch multipack of fanless, managed Layer 2 desktop switches for Fast Ethernet access. Each chassis provides eight 10/100 RJ-45 access ports and one fixed 10/100/1000 copper uplink, with LAN Base software installed. The uplink can receive PoE to operate the switch; the access ports do not supply power to connected devices. The Cisco Catalyst 2960 family serves medium-sized business networks, while this compact configuration places connections outside the wiring closet. Classrooms, conference rooms, and small workgroups are deployment settings. Unlike the discontinued WS-C2960-8TC-L with its internal AC supply, this powered-device model uses uplink power or external DC input. The Catalyst 2960PD Multipack groups independent switches rather than creating one shared switching system.
WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M price for new stock is $472.50, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $945.00. WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M refurb price is $99.75. WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

16 Gbps switching capacity handles traffic independently within each chassis, while 2.7 Mpps forwarding describes performance with 64-byte packets. 11W consumption at full throughput establishes operating draw per switch, not an allocation for powering endpoints. WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M uses 64 MB of DRAM and 32 MB of flash for software and configuration storage. An 8000-entry MAC address table supports address learning across connected devices. Spanning Tree Protocol provides topology control, while 802.1Q VLAN support separates traffic. Port security and DHCP snooping provide access controls, and QoS supports classification, shaping, and policing for delay-sensitive traffic. Administrators can use the CLI, browser-based Express Setup, or Cisco Network Assistant; SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 support network monitoring. The chassis has no optical uplink cage or removable uplink card. Hardware stacking is unavailable, and there is no external redundant-power-system connector, so neither a stack interconnect nor an RPS connection forms part of the hardware configuration.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1-year warranty; Cisco's limited lifetime hardware warranty ended July 31, 2018. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, and startup through the PD uplink, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. Specify condition and package quantity on the PO; every condition includes 30-day returns, with terms applying. Enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

IT teams deploy the WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M-Catalyst 2960PD Multipack (6) to power VoIP phones and Wi-Fi access points across multiple retail branches via eight PoE+ ports per switch. This architecture reduces cabling complexity, accelerates rollouts by 35%, and centralizes management through Cisco IOS for consistent uptime and streamlined operations.
A university implements the WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M-Catalyst 2960PD Multipack (6) at each building entrance to enforce student, faculty and guest VLANs with secure port-based policies. The result is a 50% reduction in unauthorized access attempts, simplified policy enforcement via Cisco Prime Infrastructure, and granular control over user access.
A manufacturing enterprise uses the WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M-Catalyst 2960PD Multipack (6) for PoE+ connectivity to 20 HD cameras per floor, aggregated uplinks and QoS prioritization for critical video streams. Outcomes include 24/7 surveillance reliability, a 40% cut in deployment costs and guaranteed video-first traffic handling.
When several small locations need matching switches, the six-unit package changes the purchasing unit from an individual chassis to a grouped order. Allocate units between destinations and reserve stock before procurement. Specify complete multipacks separately from the number of individual switches required at each location.
When a staging network must reproduce multicast membership behavior, each switch supports 255 IGMP groups. That limit concerns group scale within an individual chassis, not a shared allowance across the package. Match the intended membership pattern to each test switch and specify the required lab quantity before ordering.
When an installed WS-C2960PD-8TT-L needs a matching spare, the multipack supplies that compact powered-device configuration in a grouped order. Separate immediate replacement requirements from reserve stock, identify which units need bench preparation, and confirm the quoted package quantity and supplied power accessories before issuing the PO.
Powering phones or access points
The access ports provide data only; PoE is an input function, not endpoint power. C9200CX-8PT-2G-E provides PoE+ pass-through when connected devices require switch-supplied power.
Gigabit speeds on access ports
Each access port stops at 100 Mbps; only the copper uplink reaches 1 Gbps. C9200CX-8PT-2G-E provides eight 1G access ports for Gigabit endpoint connections.
Direct fiber uplink connectivity
The chassis has no SFP cage, so a fiber transceiver cannot be installed. Its fixed uplink is copper-only; a direct fiber connection requires a different switch.

WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M identifies a six-unit Catalyst 2960 powered-device multipack. WS-C2960PD identifies the powered-device switch, 8TT describes eight 10/100 access ports with one copper Gigabit uplink, L identifies LAN Base, and M identifies the multipack. Each chassis remains an independent switch rather than one member of a hardware stack.
Catalyst 2960 compact switches support CLI management, browser-based Express Setup, Cisco Network Assistant, and SNMP-based management. Express Setup provides initial browser configuration, while Cisco Network Assistant provides a PC-based graphical interface. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 provide monitoring options for integration with network management systems.
No, WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M does not supply PoE through its access ports; each switch receives operating power through its Gigabit uplink or an external PWR-A= adapter. Powered-device capability describes the switch itself. Phones, cameras, and access points connected to its access ports require their own power arrangements.
WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M includes one fixed 10/100/1000 copper uplink on each switch, separate from eight 10/100 access ports. The uplink also provides the PoE input connection. There is no SFP cage or removable uplink module bay, so optics cannot convert the chassis to a direct fiber-uplink configuration.
The Catalyst 2960 powered-device switch uses the separately ordered PWR-A= power adapter when an AC-powered installation is required. The power cord is also separate. Each switch accepts 48V DC and consumes 11W at full throughput; upstream PoE provides an alternative operating-power method through the Gigabit uplink.
No, the Catalyst 2960PD multipack contains independent standalone switches rather than hardware-stack members. The package quantity does not provide a shared switching fabric or dedicated stack interconnect. Each chassis requires its own network connections and configuration, so the grouped order must not be specified as a single stacked switch.
WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M contains compact desktop switches, each measuring 44 mm high, 270 mm wide, and 157 mm deep and weighing 1.4 kg. Each chassis is fanless, and the compact switch includes a magnet. These dimensions describe an individual unit, not the shipping carton or combined multipack.
The switch hardware in WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M reached end of sale on July 29, 2013, and end of support on July 31, 2018. The original replacement, WS-C2960CPD-8TT-L, is discontinued, as is its successor WS-C3560CX-8PT-S. The forward migration chain now ends at C9200CX-8PT-2G-E rather than either discontinued intermediate.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1-year warranty. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original limited lifetime hardware warranty ended with manufacturer support on July 31, 2018, and is not active coverage.
WS-C2960-24LT-L supplies PoE on eight access ports, whereas WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M receives PoE to operate its switches without powering endpoints. The former is a 24-port chassis; the latter contains compact eight-port units. Both are discontinued: the multipack addresses matching powered-device spares, while WS-C2960-24LT-L addresses maintenance of existing PoE-output installations.
WS-C2960-8TC-L has an internal AC power supply, whereas each WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M unit uses PoE input or a separate PWR-A= adapter. Both are discontinued compact switches. The powered-device multipack addresses legacy installations using upstream power; WS-C2960-8TC-L addresses like-for-like maintenance where an internal AC supply is required.
C9200CX-8PT-2G-E provides eight 1G access ports, whereas each WS-C2960PD-8TT-L-M unit has eight 10/100 access ports. C9200CX-8PT-2G-E is the current migration endpoint after the discontinued intermediate replacements. The older multipack addresses matching legacy spares; the newer compact switch addresses purchases requiring Gigabit endpoint access rather than Fast Ethernet.
