WS-C2960S-24PS-L is a managed Layer 2 access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, and LAN Base Cisco IOS software. The rack-mount chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960-S family and serves campus and branch connections for workstations, IP phones, and wireless access points. Copper access connections carry endpoint traffic and power, while the SFP uplinks provide separate connections toward aggregation equipment. The fixed uplink architecture does not provide a removable network-module upgrade path to 10G. The closest data-only sibling, WS-C2960S-24TS-L, is also discontinued and does not supply endpoint PoE. For like-for-like purchasing, distinguish powered access from data-only variants before matching the installed configuration to an order.
WS-C2960S-24PS-L price for new stock is $1,491.00, a 22.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,917.00. WS-C2960S-24PS-L refurb price is $115.50. WS-C2960S-24PS-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity represents full-duplex switching bandwidth for access traffic. 41.7 Mpps forwarding performance applies to 64-byte packets, providing the packet-rate reference for small-frame workloads. 370W of shared PoE capacity requires endpoint demand to be allocated rather than assuming maximum output on every powered connection. WS-C2960S-24PS-L combines 128 MB of DRAM with 64 MB of flash for Cisco IOS operation and local image storage. Four egress queues per port support traffic prioritization through strict priority queuing, Shaped Round Robin scheduling, and Weighted Tail Drop congestion avoidance. Port Security, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and IP Source Guard provide access-edge controls against unauthorized connections and spoofing. Ethernet jumbo frames reach 9216 bytes where connected equipment uses compatible frame sizes. 449W measured consumption under maximum PoE loading provides an AC-feed sizing reference; endpoint power makes that operating condition materially different from traffic-only consumption.
WS-C2960S-24PS-L is offered new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with every powered port checked for PoE output under load, firmware verified, and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, included accessories, and quantity on the purchase order; new units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty ended with Cisco support on November 30, 2020. ORM accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, and provides regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When an endpoint refresh adds higher-draw phones or wireless access points, size the powered-device allocation before choosing quantities. The configuration supports 12 ports at 30W or 24 ports at 15.4W. Record each device's power requirement and planned connection, then check the combined endpoint schedule before issuing the purchase order.
When extending an installed stack that combines Gigabit and Fast Ethernet access, Catalyst 2960-S and Catalyst 2960-SF members can share a FlexStack stack. Treat the deployed member software and existing stacking hardware as purchase constraints. Record each member's exact part number and the intended connection layout before specifying the additional unit.
For a staging purchase intended to reproduce an installed access configuration, the LAN Base configuration supports 255 active VLANs. Use that ceiling when selecting the representative test configuration rather than relying only on the available VLAN identifier range. Specify the staging configuration and required local console connection before completing the purchase order.
10G uplinks to distribution
The fixed SFP uplinks operate at 1G and provide no 10G upgrade through a network card. C9200L-24P-4X-E provides 24 PoE+ access ports with four fixed 10G uplinks.
30W on every powered port
The allocation supports 12 ports at 30W, not all 24 simultaneously. C9200L-24P-4G-E provides a 740W allocation with two PWR-C5-600WAC supplies; specify the second PWR-C5-600WAC for that requirement.
Continuing Cisco service eligibility
Cisco service for this model ended on November 30, 2020. C9200L-24P-4G-E is the current migration endpoint; the intermediate WS-C2960X-24PS-L is discontinued and reaches its support deadline on October 31, 2027.

WS-C2960S-24PS-L identifies a Catalyst 2960-S configuration: WS-C2960S is the family prefix, 24 identifies 24 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, P identifies powered access, S identifies four SFP uplinks, and L identifies LAN Base software. The configuration has a shared 370W endpoint-power allocation, which distinguishes the complete powered variant rather than just its port count.
The Catalyst 2960-S supports the Cisco IOS CLI, RJ-45 and USB console connections, Telnet, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Specify CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 or CAB-CONSOLE-USB for local access. Establish the intended management configuration during staging and identify the required console connection before including management accessories on the purchase order.
Yes, WS-C2960S-24PS-L is discontinued: end of sale was November 6, 2015, and Cisco support ended November 30, 2020. The migration chain passed through WS-C2960X-24PS-L, which is also discontinued, and continues to C9200L-24P-4G-E. Distinguish like-for-like retention of installed hardware from purchasing a current-generation migration model.
ORM offers WS-C2960S-24PS-L new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty and Cisco service ended on November 30, 2020; ORM's order warranty is separate.
LAN Base is the Cisco IOS feature set supplied with WS-C2960S-24PS-L, and the feature level is tied to the hardware model. Catalyst 2960-S LAN Lite units cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. For replacement purchasing, specify LAN Base explicitly instead of assuming another variant can be converted after delivery.
WS-C2960S-24PS-L provides a shared 370W PoE allocation and supports PoE+ at 30W per port. The allocation supports 12 ports at 30W or 24 ports at 15.4W, not every port at the PoE+ maximum simultaneously. Compare the combined powered-device requirements with the available allocation before finalizing the endpoint mix.
Yes, WS-C2960S-24PS-L supports optional FlexStack stacking through C2960S-STACK, and FlexStack stacks four members with 20 Gbps of stack throughput. Specify C2960S-STACK for each participating unit and select CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M or CAB-STK-E-3M for the physical layout. Physical stacking requires the optional hardware rather than software configuration alone.
Four fixed 1G SFP ports provide the uplinks on WS-C2960S-24PS-L; the configuration does not provide 10G SFP+ connections or a removable uplink network card. Match the transceivers, fiber type, and link distance to the connected equipment. Specify the optical connection requirements separately from the base switch identity when preparing the order.
No, WS-C2960S-24PS-L uses an internal AC supply with external PWR-RPS2300 for power redundancy rather than an additional internal supply. PWR-RPS2300 is supplied without a power supply; C3K-PWR-750WAC= and CAB-RPS2300-E= are compatible associated parts. Specify the complete external power arrangement instead of requesting a second internal PSU.
Yes, WS-C2960S-24PS-L is a 1U rack-mount switch with a 445 mm-wide chassis and 386 mm depth. The chassis weighs 5.7 kg, allowing rack clearance and loading to be checked before ordering. RCKMNT-1RU= is the compatible spare rack-mount kit; specify RCKMNT-1RU= when replacement brackets are required.
WS-C2960S-24PS-L supplies PoE+ endpoint power, whereas WS-C2960S-24TS-L provides data-only access ports. Both are discontinued Catalyst 2960-S models. The powered configuration suits like-for-like orders where connected devices receive power from the switch; the data-only configuration suits retaining an installed arrangement where endpoint power comes from separate equipment.
WS-C2960S-24PS-L carries LAN Base software, whereas WS-C2960S-24TS-S carries LAN Lite software. Both models are discontinued, and LAN Lite hardware cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. The LAN Base configuration suits retaining that installed feature set; the LAN Lite configuration suits an existing installation standardized on the reduced software functionality.
C9200L-24P-4G-E accepts a second PWR-C5-600WAC internally, whereas WS-C2960S-24PS-L uses external PWR-RPS2300 for power redundancy. The successor is current, and the older switch is discontinued. Choose the successor for internal redundancy; retain the older model only when matching an installed external power arrangement and its existing hardware requirements.
