Powered Enterprise Access With Fixed Fiber Connections

WS-C2960S-24PD-L is a managed Layer 2, fixed-configuration Gigabit Ethernet switch with 24 PoE+ access ports, two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and LAN Base software. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series serves campus and branch access in a 1U rack chassis. The discontinued WS-C2960S-24TD-L sibling provides data-only access instead of endpoint power.

Technical Details

176 Gbps switching capacity accommodates aggregate switching traffic, while 65.5 Mpps forwarding performance applies to 64-byte packets. WS-C2960S-24PD-L carries 128 MB DRAM and 64 MB flash for runtime operation and software storage. 451W measured consumption at full throughput with maximum possible PoE load informs electrical planning; endpoint power remains a shared allocation rather than a full-power allowance on every port.

Ordering

WS-C2960S-24PD-L is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to 3-year extended coverage for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage ended November 30, 2020. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot and PoE output under load on every powered port, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and accessory PIDs on the PO; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. For enterprise and volume orders, POs are accepted, government Net-30 is available, and RMA includes advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Cisco support has ended

WS-C2960S-24PD-L cannot receive Cisco support after November 30, 2020. Its original replacement, WS-C2960X-24PD-L, is also discontinued; the forward migration target is C9200L-24P-4X.

Size simultaneous endpoint power

A fully allocated endpoint plan requires 24 × 30W = 720W, exceeding the shared power allocation. Sum endpoint reservations before committing the powered-device count.

Specify the stacking hardware

The C2960S-STACK module is required for a FlexStack order. Specify CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M or CAB-STK-E-3M according to spacing; complete ring cabling retains full bandwidth.

Installed Member Replacement

When a failed stack member must be replaced without changing its hardware identity, the replacement must have the same model number. For a WS-C2960S-24PD-L installation, capture the existing member number and configuration, then specify the matching replacement model before the PO.

Branch Cable Planning

When branch endpoints sit across a long copper cable run, the fixed RJ-45 connections have a 100 m limit. Measure installed paths rather than straight-line room distances, and include the required endpoint patching in the cable plan before specifying the branch order.

Not Suitable If

Active Cisco hardware support

Cisco support ended November 30, 2020. C9200L-24P-4X is the current forward migration target after the discontinued intermediate replacement, WS-C2960X-24PD-L.

Simultaneous 30W output on every port

The shared power allocation cannot supply all 24 access ports at their individual 30W maximum. Endpoint reservations must remain within the available budget.

Questions & Answers

What does the WS-C2960S-24PD-L part number mean?

WS-C2960S-24PD-L identifies the Catalyst 2960-S family, 24 Gigabit access ports, a powered configuration with two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and LAN Base software. WS-C2960S is the family prefix, 24 is the access-port count, PD identifies that powered uplink configuration, and L corresponds to LAN Base.

How is the Catalyst 2960-S managed?

Catalyst 2960-S management includes the browser-based device manager, Cisco IOS CLI through console or Telnet, Cisco Network Assistant and SNMP. Additional options include Cisco Prime Infrastructure, CiscoWorks LMS, CiscoView, Cisco Configuration Engine and Cisco Security Manager. Smart Install and Auto Smartports provide automated configuration workflows.

Is WS-C2960S-24PD-L still supported by Cisco?

No. WS-C2960S-24PD-L passed its last Cisco support date on November 30, 2020. Its end-of-sale date was November 6, 2015, and Cisco service is no longer available.

What conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for WS-C2960S-24PD-L?

New sealed and certified refurbished WS-C2960S-24PD-L units carry ORM warranties of up to 3-year extended coverage and up to 1 year, respectively. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty ended with Cisco support on November 30, 2020. Refurbished units are inspected, bench-tested, firmware verified and wiped to factory default.

Which software license does WS-C2960S-24PD-L include?

WS-C2960S-24PD-L includes LAN Base. Catalyst 2960-S software feature levels are tied to the hardware model; LAN Lite models cannot be upgraded to LAN Base by installing another image.

Which uplinks and optics fit WS-C2960S-24PD-L?

WS-C2960S-24PD-L has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. Supported optical options include SFP-10G-SR= and SFP-10G-LR=. The chassis does not require a separate uplink card for those connections.

How many members can a Catalyst 2960-S FlexStack contain?

Catalyst 2960-S FlexStack supports four members using C2960S-STACK on LAN Base models. Cable options are CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M and CAB-STK-E-3M. Complete ring connections preserve full bandwidth and redundant stack connectivity.

What is the difference between WS-C2960S-24PD-L and WS-C2960S-24TD-L?

WS-C2960S-24PD-L provides PoE+ endpoint power, whereas WS-C2960S-24TD-L has data-only access ports. Both models are discontinued. The powered model suits matching replacements for powered endpoints; the data-only sibling suits existing installations with independently powered devices.

What is the difference between WS-C2960S-24PD-L and WS-C2960S-24TS-S?

WS-C2960S-24PD-L uses LAN Base, while WS-C2960S-24TS-S uses LAN Lite. LAN Lite has reduced functionality and cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. Both are discontinued; the former retains LAN Base configurations, while the latter matches basic existing LAN Lite installations.

What is the difference between WS-C2960S-24PD-L and C9200L-24P-4X?

WS-C2960S-24PD-L is past its Cisco support deadline, whereas C9200L-24P-4X is the current forward migration target. The intermediate WS-C2960X-24PD-L is also discontinued. Exact-part maintenance favors the legacy switch; platform-refresh purchasing follows the migration path to C9200L-24P-4X.
