PoE+ Access for Campus and Branch Closets
WS-C2960X-24PS-L is a managed Layer 3 Gigabit access switch with 24 10/100/1000 PoE+ downlinks, a shared 370W power budget, and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The rack-mount 1U Catalyst 2960-X Series platform runs Cisco IOS LAN Base for campus and branch access closets serving IP phones, wireless APs, cameras, workstations, and upstream aggregation links. FlexStack-Plus or FlexStack-Extended can be added with the optional C2960X-STACK, C2960X-FIBER-STK, or C2960X-HYBRID-STK modules rather than being installed in the base chassis. Cisco Catalyst 2960X-24PS-L stays on 1G fiber uplinks; WS-C2960X-24PD-L is the sibling for two 10G SFP+ uplinks with the same 24-port PoE class.
WS-C2960X-24PS-L price for new stock is $576.45, a 88.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $5,021.00. WS-C2960X-24PS-L refurb price is $131.25. WS-C2960X-24PS-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

WS-C2960X-24PS-L Use Case
Access Closet Endpoint Handoff
WS-C2960X-24PS-L sits in a wiring closet and terminates copper runs from phones, workstations, cameras, printers, and wireless access points on 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. Engineers place VLAN membership, port security, QoS trust boundaries, and PoE allocation at this access point, then forward traffic northbound through four 1G SFP uplinks. The LAN Base image supports managed access-layer operation for standardized Cisco IOS environments. The result is a powered Gigabit edge that keeps endpoint connectivity, policy enforcement, and uplink handoff inside one fixed access switch.
Access to Distribution Fiber Handoff
The switch occupies the access layer and presents endpoint traffic to distribution switches through four 1G SFP uplinks for fiber handoff. Network teams match Cisco-compatible SFP optics to the fiber plant, configure uplink trunks or EtherChannel, and reserve the 24 copper ports for powered access devices. WS-C2960X-24PS-L keeps 370W of PoE budget at the closet while separating endpoint handoff from upstream fiber connectivity. The result is a clean access-to-distribution boundary for sites that standardize on Gigabit access and 1G aggregation links.
Stacked Access Block Expansion
Several compatible Catalyst 2960-X or 2960-XR switches form a FlexStack-Plus access block when a closet needs more managed Gigabit PoE+ ports under one operating model. WS-C2960X-24PS-L contributes 24 powered access ports, four SFP uplinks, LAN Base operation, and a 370W PoE budget per unit when the optional stacking module is installed. Engineers align software versions, stacking modules, cable layout, and uplink placement before adding members. The result is higher access density with shared administration across a repeated Cisco IOS closet design.
Best For
PoE Closet Refresh
A wiring closet moving phones and access points from a 2960-S PoE stack can keep a 24-port copper footprint and specify 370W for endpoint draw. Include SFP optics for the four 1G uplinks and confirm the support window ending 31 October 2027 before the PO.
Stack Expansion
An existing LAN Base stack that needs another access member should specify the optional C2960X-STACK module plus CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, or CAB-STK-E-3M. Keep mixed 2960-X and 2960-S/SF stacks to four members, while all-2960-X LAN Base stacks support eight members.
Staging And Sparing
A spare for sites standardized on Cisco IOS LAN Base can be staged with the same 512 MB DRAM, 128 MB flash image family, and 24 PoE+ access ports. Add C2960X-DNA-E-24-3Y or C2960X-DNA-E-24-5Y only when Cisco DNA Essentials functions are required.
Not Suitable If
10G uplinks to distribution
The fixed uplinks are 4 x 1G SFP, not SFP+. C9200L-24P-4X is the named 24-port PoE+ replacement for SFP+ uplinks.
Active Cisco point-of-sale
Cisco end-of-sale was 31 October 2022, with last support on 31 October 2027. C9200L-24P-4G is the named replacement for new projects.
Internal redundant power bays
The 2960-X chassis uses one fixed internal supply and optional PWR-RPS2300 external redundancy, not a second internal bay. 2960-XR models provide second supply options but are discontinued.
Full 30W on every port
The 370W budget supports 12 ports at 30W or 24 ports at 15.4W; it does not supply 30W to all 24 ports at once.

Questions & Answers
What does WS-C2960X-24PS-L mean?
WS-C2960X-24PS-L maps to a Catalyst 2960-X switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports, a 370W PoE budget, four 1G SFP uplinks, and LAN Base. The 2960X identifies the platform family, 24PS identifies the port and PoE uplink configuration, and L identifies LAN Base.
How is WS-C2960X-24PS-L managed?
WS-C2960X-24PS-L is managed through Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI, SNMP, RJ-45 console, USB console, and Bluetooth access for GUI or CLI over SSH or Telnet. Network management can also use Cisco Prime, Cisco Network Plug and Play, and Cisco DNA Center with the required management licenses.
Is WS-C2960X-24PS-L end of sale?
WS-C2960X-24PS-L is end-of-sale; the end-of-sale date was 31 October 2022. Last ship date was 30 January 2023, software maintenance ended 31 October 2023, and last date of support is 31 October 2027. C9200L-24P-4G is the named replacement product.
What condition and warranty options does ORM offer for WS-C2960X-24PS-L?
WS-C2960X-24PS-L is offered new sealed or certified refurbished. Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage is bounded by the last date of support on 31 October 2027. ORM offers up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns, terms apply.
Does WS-C2960X-24PS-L support PoE+ on all ports?
WS-C2960X-24PS-L has 24 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports with a 370W power budget. The budget supports 12 ports at 30W PoE+ or 24 ports at 15.4W PoE, and total power can be allocated among the ports rather than dedicated equally.
How many uplinks does WS-C2960X-24PS-L have?
WS-C2960X-24PS-L has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The uplinks are SFP, not SFP+, so 10G uplink requirements belong on the 24-port PoE sibling with two SFP+ uplinks or on the named Catalyst 9200L replacement path for SFP+.
Can WS-C2960X-24PS-L be stacked?
WS-C2960X-24PS-L can be stacked with optional FlexStack-Plus or FlexStack-Extended hardware. FlexStack-Plus uses C2960X-STACK and CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, or CAB-STK-E-3M cables for up to eight 2960-X LAN Base members at 80 Gbps stack bandwidth.
Which licenses apply to Catalyst 2960-X Series LAN Base switches?
Catalyst 2960-X Series LAN Base switches use a fixed LAN Base feature set that cannot be upgraded to IP Lite. C2960X-DNA-E-24=, C2960X-DNA-E-24-3Y, and C2960X-DNA-E-24-5Y add Cisco DNA Essentials features for 24-port models, including DNS-AS, Full Flexible NetFlow, Plug and Play, and Device 360.
What older switches did WS-C2960X-24PS-L replace?
WS-C2960X-24PS-L replaced WS-C2960S-24PS-L and WS-C2960S-F24PS-L in the Catalyst 2960-S and 2960-SF lifecycle. Those predecessor models reached end-of-sale on 6 November 2015 and last date of support on 30 November 2020, so the 2960-X became the direct 24-port PoE migration model.
What is the difference between WS-C2960X-24PS-L and WS-C2960X-24PD-L?
WS-C2960X-24PD-L carries two 10G SFP+ uplinks, while WS-C2960X-24PS-L carries four 1G SFP uplinks. Both are 24-port Gigabit PoE 370W LAN Base models, so the PD model fits higher-speed uplink handoffs and the PS model fits designs needing more 1G fiber uplinks.
What is the difference between WS-C2960X-24PS-L and WS-C2960X-24TS-L?
WS-C2960X-24PS-L provides 370W of PoE power, while WS-C2960X-24TS-L is a non-PoE 24-port Gigabit model with four 1G SFP uplinks. Choose the PS model for powered endpoints such as phones and access points, and the TS model for data-only copper access.
What is the difference between WS-C2960X-24PS-L and C9200L-24P-4G?
C9200L-24P-4G is the named replacement for WS-C2960X-24PS-L. WS-C2960X-24PS-L is the end-of-sale Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base model with support ending 31 October 2027, while C9200L-24P-4G is the Catalyst 9200L 24-port PoE+ base-switch migration path.
