PoE+ Access Switching With Fixed Fiber Uplinks

WS-C2960X-24PD-L is a managed Layer 3 access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ downlinks, two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and the LAN Base feature set. Its full-width 1U chassis places the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X in campus wiring closets and branch equipment racks serving phones, wireless access points and wired users. Dedicated uplink interfaces carry distribution connections without consuming an endpoint port. The discontinued WS-C2960X-24TD-L retains the same access-port count and uplink configuration but supplies no PoE. This configuration combines copper endpoint connections with separate distribution interfaces, rather than a removable network-uplink-card design. LAN Base is tied to the hardware model and cannot be upgraded to IP Lite through a software purchase.

WS-C2960X-24PD-L price for new stock is $1,409.10, a 81.3% saving from the Cisco list price of $7,550.00. WS-C2960X-24PD-L refurb price is $204.75. WS-C2960X-24PD-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

216 Gbps switching capacity provides the full-duplex switching bandwidth, while 95.2 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte Layer 3 packets. 370W of shared PoE power must be allocated across connected endpoints rather than treated as a separate allowance for every port. OSPF and OSPFv3 each support 200 routes under LAN Base; Static, RIPv1, RIPv2, PBR and PIM are also supported, with the expanded routing features available in Cisco IOS 15.2(6)E. WS-C2960X-24PD-L uses 512 MB DRAM and 128 MB flash for system operation and image storage. The LAN Base default SDM allocation supports 16000 MAC entries and 3000 total IPv4 unicast entries, including directly connected hosts; that total does not remove the separate OSPF limit. NetFlow Lite supports sampled traffic visibility without a service module. LACP provides link aggregation for compatible neighboring devices. The Cisco Catalyst 2960X-24PD-L has no second internal power-supply bay.

Ordering

ORM supplies WS-C2960X-24PD-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty on new orders, up to 1 year on certified refurbished orders, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, including PoE output under load on every powered port and optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and required accessories on the purchase order, and confirm CAB-AC15A-90L-USA for the US power connection. Enterprise and volume POs are accepted, with Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Add-on licenses expire separately

WS-C2960X-24PD-L retains LAN Base operation without add-on renewal. Cisco ONE Foundation or Cisco DNA Essentials enables Full Flexible NetFlow and DNS-AS; Cisco DNA Essentials starts at three years, with renewal or deactivation and reload at expiration.

New service attachment has ended

WS-C2960X-24PD-L cannot receive a new service-contract attachment after October 31, 2023. Existing contracts have a January 29, 2027 renewal deadline; verify entitlement and term dates before adding a Cisco service item to the PO.

Mixed stacks reduce expansion limits

WS-C2960X-24PD-L cannot stack with Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite switches. Mixed stacks with discontinued Catalyst 2960-S or 2960-SF LAN Base members fall to four members and 40Gbps; verify existing membership before ordering C2960X-STACK.

WS-C2960X-24PD-L Use Case

Access Closet Endpoint Handoff

WS-C2960X-24PD-L sits in an access closet and terminates copper runs from IP phones, workstations, cameras, printers, and access points on 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. Engineers assign VLANs, QoS policies, 802.1X controls, and PoE priorities at the edge, then reserve the 370W budget across the powered endpoint mix. The LAN Base image anchors Layer 2 access policy while upstream routing stays northbound. The 2 fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks carry aggregated closet traffic toward distribution. The result is a controlled powered endpoint layer with predictable access segmentation and power allocation.

Access to Distribution Uplink Handoff

WS-C2960X-24PD-L aggregates 24 Gigabit access ports and hands traffic to distribution switches through 2 fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. Network teams match approved Cisco SFP+ optics or DACs to the fiber plant, then configure trunks, EtherChannel, spanning-tree roles, and QoS markings toward the distribution layer. The 370W PoE budget remains reserved for local powered endpoints during uplink planning. The 95.2 Mpps forwarding profile and LAN Base feature set suit access traffic leaving a wiring closet. The result is a compact powered access block with higher-speed northbound capacity than 1G-uplink models.

Stacked Access Operations Block

Multiple Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base switches form a FlexStack-Plus closet block when each member includes the optional C2960X-STACK module and supported stack cables. WS-C2960X-24PD-L contributes 24 PoE+ access ports and 2 10G SFP+ uplinks per unit, while the stack presents one management point and 80 Gbps stack bandwidth. Engineers standardize Cisco IOS versions, VLAN templates, PoE policies, and uplink placement before adding members. The fixed 24-port form factor keeps each stack member role predictable. The result is expanded powered access capacity with simpler operational control across repeated closet builds.

Best For

Legacy Hardware Replacement

When a legacy bill of materials names WS-C2960S-24PD-L, this model is its replacement; the older switch ended sale on November 6, 2015. Existing C2960S-STACK hardware does not substitute for C2960X-STACK. Confirm stacking accessories and required condition before issuing a like-for-like replacement purchase order.

Endpoint Power Allocation

When a closet replacement must power phones or wireless access points, endpoint demand determines the allocation rather than port availability alone. The switch supports 12 ports at 30W or 24 ports at 15.4W simultaneously. Inventory operating and startup requirements, then specify the powered-device allocation before the PO.

Bench Staging

For bench staging before installation, CAB-CONSOLE-USB provides a console connection without depending on an already configured management address. The switch also has RJ-45 console access for CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45. Decide which technician connection will be used, then include the corresponding console cable and required staging configuration in the purchase order.

Not Suitable If

Multi-gigabit copper endpoint connections

WS-C2960X-24PD-L copper downlinks stop at 1Gbps. C9200L-24PXG-4X-E offers eight multi-gigabit downlinks plus 16 Gigabit downlinks, rather than multi-gigabit speeds across all 24 ports.

Two internal redundant power supplies

WS-C2960X-24PD-L has one fixed internal supply and no second internal PSU bay. C9200L-24P-4X accepts an optional second PWR-C5-600WAC for internal power redundancy.

Cisco support beyond October 2027

Cisco service for WS-C2960X-24PD-L ends October 31, 2027. Evaluate the current C9200L-24P-4X replacement and its separate licensing before committing to a longer support requirement.

Questions & Answers

What does the part number WS-C2960X-24PD-L mean?

WS-C2960X-24PD-L identifies a Catalyst 2960-X 24-port Gigabit PoE+ switch with two 10G SFP+ uplinks and LAN Base. WS-C2960X identifies the switch family, 24 denotes the access-port count, P denotes powered ports, D corresponds to the two SFP+ uplinks, and L identifies LAN Base.

How is WS-C2960X-24PD-L managed?

WS-C2960X-24PD-L supports Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI through SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 or USB console access, SNMP, Bluetooth, and licensed Cisco DNA Center, Prime Infrastructure and Network Plug and Play management. Bluetooth access requires an external USB dongle; SSH requires a cryptographic software image.

What is the lifecycle status of WS-C2960X-24PD-L?

WS-C2960X-24PD-L is discontinued: end of sale was October 31, 2022, and the last date of support is October 31, 2027. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2023. C9200L-24P-4X is the replacement, so an installed-base purchase and a current-generation migration require different bills of materials.

What condition and warranty does ORM offer for WS-C2960X-24PD-L?

ORM offers WS-C2960X-24PD-L new sealed or certified refurbished: new orders include up to 3-year extended warranty; refurbished orders include up to 1 year. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco’s Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers eligible original owners; Cisco service ends October 31, 2027. WS-C2960X-24PDL-RF is Cisco remanufactured, not ORM certified refurbished.

Which licensing paths are available for WS-C2960X-24PD-L?

WS-C2960X-24PD-L operates with LAN Base; Cisco ONE Foundation or optional Cisco DNA Essentials adds Full Flexible NetFlow and DNS-AS. Cisco DNA Essentials has three-year and five-year terms managed through a Smart Account. Expiration requires renewal or deactivation and reload; an ORM hardware order does not require that subscription for LAN Base operation.

Which older switch does WS-C2960X-24PD-L replace?

WS-C2960X-24PD-L replaces WS-C2960S-24PD-L, which ended sale on November 6, 2015 and is discontinued. Both configurations provide 24 Gigabit PoE ports, 370W of endpoint power and two 10G SFP+ uplinks. Existing hardware plans can retain that port configuration, but stacking accessories must be checked before substitution.

How many devices can the Catalyst 2960X-24PD-L power at full PoE+ output?

The Catalyst 2960X-24PD-L supports 12 ports at 30W simultaneously, or 24 ports at 15.4W, within its shared 370W budget. All 24 access ports support PoE+, but the budget does not permit every port to supply 30W together. Size the purchase against aggregate powered-device demand.

Can WS-C2960X-24PD-L join an existing switch stack?

WS-C2960X-24PD-L supports eight-member FlexStack-Plus stacks at 80Gbps with C2960X-STACK modules. Cable options are CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M and CAB-STK-E-3M. Mixing with discontinued Catalyst 2960-S or 2960-SF LAN Base members reduces the limit to four members and 40Gbps; Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite members cannot join the same stack.

Does the Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base configuration support OSPF?

Yes, the Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base configuration supports OSPF and OSPFv3, each limited to 200 routes. Cisco IOS 15.2(6)E includes OSPF, PIM and PBR support at LAN Base level. The 3000-entry IPv4 unicast allocation includes directly connected hosts and must not be mistaken for the OSPF route allowance.

What uplink hardware does the Catalyst 2960X-24PD-L require?

The Catalyst 2960X-24PD-L has two fixed 10G SFP+ cages, not a removable network-uplink-card bay. Those interfaces are separate from the 24 copper access ports. Specify compatible optics for the required reach and remote interface; C2960X-STACK is a stacking module, not a card that adds network uplinks.

What power should be allowed for WS-C2960X-24PD-L?

WS-C2960X-24PD-L has a 470 VA maximum input rating and a measured 53.1W consumption figure at 100% traffic. Apparent input power is not the same as a measured wattage load. The traffic measurement must not be used alone to size an installation delivering the separate 370W PoE budget.

What is the difference between WS-C2960X-24PD-L and WS-C2960X-24TD-L?

WS-C2960X-24PD-L supplies PoE+ with a 370W budget, while WS-C2960X-24TD-L provides no endpoint power. Both have 24 Gigabit access ports and two SFP+ uplinks, and both are discontinued. For installed-base matching, the powered configuration serves PoE endpoints; the non-PoE configuration serves devices with separate power.

What is the difference between WS-C2960X-24PD-L and WS-C2960XR-24PD-I?

WS-C2960X-24PD-L carries LAN Base, while WS-C2960XR-24PD-I carries IP Lite with additional routing features such as EIGRP Stub. Both models are discontinued, and LAN Base cannot be upgraded to IP Lite. LAN Base matches an existing LAN Base deployment; the IP Lite configuration historically serves requirements for its additional routing functions.

What is the difference between WS-C2960X-24PD-L and C9200L-24P-4X?

C9200L-24P-4X provides four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, while WS-C2960X-24PD-L provides two. C9200L-24P-4X is the current replacement for the discontinued model. Retaining a two-uplink configuration can justify installed-base matching; projects requiring four fixed 10G connections should specify the replacement and its license tier.
