WS-C2960S-24TS-S is a managed Layer 2 access switch with 24 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The non-PoE configuration connects externally powered endpoints rather than supplying power to phones or access points, and the 1U chassis fits a standard equipment rack. Within the Catalyst 2960-S family, LAN Lite provides the basic access feature set rather than the broader LAN Base configuration. The discontinued WS-C2960S-24TS-L carries LAN Base and four 1G SFP uplinks. Copper access and separate fiber uplinks define the connection layout, with no removable network card needed to expose the uplink slots. This variant serves campus and branch access where the purchase must preserve a standalone legacy configuration.

100 Gbps of full-duplex switching capacity provides the LAN Lite switching fabric for simultaneous bidirectional traffic. 38.7 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte packets and defines the packet-rate ceiling independently of aggregate bandwidth. 36W measured consumption at 100 percent throughput provides a load reference for electrical planning rather than a power-supply rating. WS-C2960S-24TS-S carries 128 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash for runtime operation and image storage. The MAC address table holds 8000 entries for endpoint learning. RSTP and MSTP control Layer 2 paths, while four egress queues per port support traffic scheduling. Voice VLAN separates voice traffic, and IGMP snooping constrains multicast delivery to participating receivers. Administrators manage the Cisco Catalyst 2960-S through the CLI and supported network-management applications; encrypted remote administration requires the appropriate cryptographic image. FlexStack is unavailable on this LAN Lite model, so network-management grouping is not hardware stacking.
Order WS-C2960S-24TS-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty; every condition includes 30-day returns, and terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition, PSU status and clean boot, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition and accessory quantities on the purchase order; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty and service ended November 30, 2020. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs, with Net-30 for government and advance-replacement RMA coverage across UK, EU, US and MEA.

When a replacement must preserve an existing segmentation plan, LAN Lite permits 64 active VLANs and 64 spanning-tree instances, with 4000 VLAN IDs available. The number of configured segments therefore matters separately from endpoint connections. Audit the existing VLAN and spanning-tree configuration, then specify the retained segmentation requirements before issuing the PO.
For a rollout that must match an existing cabinet installation, specify RCKMNT-1RU= mounting hardware and CAB-AC15A-90L-US for U.S. power connections. Regional power-cord selection belongs on the purchase order rather than being assumed from the switch PID. Confirm the mounting hardware, cord type and required quantities for each receiving site before ordering.
When a staging bench must reproduce legacy link aggregation and fiber fault handling, LAN Lite includes LACP and UDLD. These functions allow the replacement configuration to be exercised without treating the unit as a routed-access upgrade. Specify the aggregation settings, fiber test connections and configuration acceptance criteria before issuing the PO.
Switch-powered phones and access points
WS-C2960S-24TS-S has no PoE output. C9200L-24P-4G is the current 24-port PoE+ migration option for purchases that require endpoint power from the switch.
Hardware stacking with existing switches
WS-C2960S-24TS-S cannot join a FlexStack stack. The LAN Lite model does not support C2960S-STACK for stacking, so a stack extension requires different hardware.
Continued Cisco service coverage
Cisco support for WS-C2960S-24TS-S ended November 30, 2020. C9200L-24T-4G is the current migration destination beyond discontinued WS-C2960X-24TS-LL; purchasing legacy hardware does not restart Cisco service.

WS-C2960S-24TS-S identifies a Catalyst 2960-S switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, two 1G SFP uplinks and LAN Lite software. The 2960S segment identifies the family, 24 identifies the access-port count, TS corresponds to the copper-access and SFP-uplink configuration, and the final S identifies LAN Lite.
WS-C2960S-24TS-S supports CLI configuration, SSH v2, Telnet, SNMP, PC-based configuration tools, Cisco Prime Infrastructure and CiscoWorks LMS. Local console access uses CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 or CAB-CONSOLE-USB. SSH v2 and encrypted SNMP v3 require a cryptographic software image, so specify remote-management requirements when confirming the supplied firmware.
WS-C2960S-24TS-S reached end of sale November 6, 2015, and Cisco support ended November 30, 2020. The first replacement, WS-C2960X-24TS-LL, subsequently reached end of sale October 31, 2022. The replacement chain now leads to C9200L-24T-4G rather than stopping at that discontinued intermediate model.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960S-24TS-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty and Cisco service ended November 30, 2020.
No, WS-C2960S-24TS-S cannot be upgraded from LAN Lite to LAN Base. The feature level is tied to the hardware model, rather than being an additional software tier that a license purchase enables. Select hardware with the required feature set before ordering instead of planning a later LAN Base conversion.
No, WS-C2960S-24TS-S does not supply PoE or PoE+ to connected devices. The RJ-45 access ports provide Ethernet connectivity without an endpoint power budget. Phones, access points and other connected equipment must therefore have a power arrangement independent of this switch; PoE requirements need different hardware.
WS-C2960S-24TS-S provides two fixed 1G SFP uplink slots, separate from the copper access connections. The uplinks are built into the chassis rather than supplied by a removable network module. These are 1G connections, not 10G SFP+ uplinks, so confirm the distribution-link speed and transceiver requirements before ordering.
No, WS-C2960S-24TS-S cannot join a FlexStack stack. C2960S-STACK is supported on Catalyst 2960-S LAN Base models, not this LAN Lite model. Adding that module does not create a stacking path for this part number; management grouping must not be treated as hardware stack membership.
The Catalyst 2960-S LAN Lite configuration supports 64 active VLANs and 64 spanning-tree instances, with 4000 VLAN IDs available. Available identifiers do not increase the active-VLAN limit. Compare the intended configuration against both limits before replacing a unit that carries a larger or more complex segmentation plan.
36W is the measured power consumption for WS-C2960S-24TS-S at 100 percent throughput, with the same 36W figure at 5 percent throughput. The internal AC supply accepts 100-240V AC. The consumption figure describes measured operation rather than an interchangeable PSU rating or a guaranteed maximum facility load.
WS-C2960S-24PS-L supplies PoE+ with a shared 370W power budget, while WS-C2960S-24TS-S supplies no endpoint power. Both models are discontinued. For a legacy replacement, the powered model addresses devices relying on switch-delivered power; the non-PoE model fits endpoints whose power is supplied independently.
WS-C2960S-24TS-L carries LAN Base, while WS-C2960S-24TS-S carries LAN Lite and cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. Both models are discontinued. Buyers preserving basic LAN Lite configurations can specify the latter; buyers whose existing configuration requires LAN Base must retain hardware carrying that feature level.
C9200L-24T-4G is the current migration destination, while WS-C2960S-24TS-S reached end of Cisco support November 30, 2020. The migration passes through discontinued WS-C2960X-24TS-LL. The legacy model serves like-for-like hardware replacement; the current model suits a purchase intended to leave the discontinued family.
WS-C2960S-24TSS-RF is the Cisco Refresh remanufactured ordering variant of WS-C2960S-24TS-S, not ORM's certified refurbished condition. ORM refurbishment includes inspection, bench testing, firmware verification and a factory-default configuration wipe. The distinction identifies who performs the refurbishment; Cisco service for this discontinued hardware ended November 30, 2020.
