WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L is a fanless, managed access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, including eight powered ports, and separate copper and fiber uplinks. Its fixed configuration combines two 1G SFP interfaces with two Gigabit copper uplink interfaces rather than an expansion bay. The full-width chassis occupies one rack unit and belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series. LAN Base supplies the network feature set, including Layer 3 routing capabilities. Specify the uplink medium separately from endpoint connections when preparing the purchase order. The discontinued WS-C2960X-24PS-L provides a larger endpoint-power allocation, so a spare request naming that model should not be treated as interchangeable. This configuration combines access-port density with limited endpoint powering; match the powered-device inventory to the actual variant before ordering.
WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L price for new stock is $1,858.50, a 61.3% saving from the Cisco list price of $4,805.00. WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L refurb price is $303.56. WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

216 Gbps switching capacity defines the forwarding fabric, while 71.4 Mpps forwarding performance applies to 64-byte Layer 3 packets. Static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF and OSPFv3 provide routed-access options. WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L carries 512 MB of DRAM and 128 MB of flash, separating runtime memory from software-image storage when planning maintenance. Its MAC address capacity and SDM resource allocation should be checked against the intended configuration, not just the physical endpoint count. Select the access, routing or VLAN template before validating the replacement configuration. Keep facility input sizing distinct from endpoint-power allocation: measured traffic consumption and maximum input apparent power describe different operating conditions. The Cisco IOS image selects the hardware-bound feature set rather than turning the chassis into another license variant. Confirm the installed image and retained entitlements before placing a replacement unit into service, particularly when an existing configuration depends on optional visibility features.
WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM coverage of up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition and PSU status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and required transceivers on the purchase order. ORM Systems accepts POs, provides Net-30 for government and handles enterprise or volume RMA requirements with advance replacement.

In a 300-user corporate headquarters, the WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L distributes power and data to 16 IP phones and 8 wireless APs over GigE PoE, with two fiber SFP uplinks to the distribution layer. Benefit: Simplified access-layer deployment, centralized PoE power budgeting, granular QoS for voice and Wi-Fi, and 99.9% uptime under LAN Base OS.
A multi-building SMB campus deploys 24 PoE-powered HD security cameras on the Catalyst 2960-X 24-port switch, leveraging 110W PoE budget and two 1GbE uplinks for direct NVR connectivity. Benefit: High-density camera power delivery, dedicated fiber uplinks for video backhaul, VLAN segmentation for security, and streamlined management via Cisco LAN Base.
A 15-store retail chain uses the WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L at each location to power 12 PoE POS terminals and 4 digital signage displays, with dual SFP uplinks to WAN routers. Benefit: Secure multi-VLAN segmentation, consistent PoE performance for mission-critical POS and displays, easy firmware updates via LAN Base, and scalable plug-and-play deployment.
When replacement units need configuration before shipment, local console access provides a staging path independent of the production network. Prepare the intended management address and access settings before connecting endpoint cables. Include CAB-CONSOLE-USB for USB console access in the staging order rather than relying on cables already installed at the receiving site.
When multiple branches must retain common VLAN configurations, LAN Base supports 1023 active VLANs. Inventory user, voice and management segments in the existing configurations, then verify the required assignments before approving replacement quantities. Specify the configuration baseline for each branch before placing the consolidated purchase order.
When a spare purchase must cover multiple operating regions, ORM Systems supports regional stock and RMA handling across the UK, EU, US and MEA. Assign spare quantities to the actual receiving locations rather than treating the order as one destination. Specify regional allocation and condition on the purchase order.
10G optical uplinks to distribution
The optical uplinks are limited to 1G. C9200CX-12P-2X2G-E provides two 10G SFP+ uplinks, but its 12 access ports require a density check.
Hardware stack extension
Hardware stacking is unsupported, so this configuration cannot join a FlexStack-Plus or FlexStack-Extended stack. LAN Base licensing does not add the missing stacking capability.
Continuing Cisco security maintenance
Cisco vulnerability/security support ended April 29, 2026. C9200CX-12P-2X2G-E is the replacement, with 12 access ports instead of 24; check migration density before ordering.

WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L identifies the Catalyst 2960-X family, 24 Gigabit access ports, the PSQ PoE configuration with two SFP and two copper Gigabit uplinks, and the L LAN Base feature set. The complete configuration includes eight powered access ports; the part number should be matched as a whole when ordering.
The Catalyst 2960-X supports Device Manager or Cisco Configuration Professional web interfaces, console CLI, SSH, Telnet and SNMP. Cisco Network Assistant, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center and Network Plug and Play provide network-level options. Bluetooth access requires an external USB dongle, while centralized management requires the corresponding licenses.
WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L is discontinued, with an end-of-sale date of April 30, 2023. Vulnerability/security support ended April 29, 2026, while the last date of eligible Cisco support is April 30, 2028. Existing service eligibility and the remaining support window should be checked before placing a legacy spare order.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty covers eligible original end users, bounded by April 30, 2028.
WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L includes LAN Base; Full Flexible NetFlow requires Cisco ONE Foundation or Cisco DNA Essentials. Cisco DNA Essentials term options start at three years. After a DNA term expires, deactivate the add-on and reload to continue with base-license capabilities. An ORM hardware order does not itself establish a separate add-on entitlement.
WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L has eight powered access ports sharing 110W, so the connected-device count depends on each endpoint's requested power. PoE+ support does not mean every powered port can simultaneously receive its maximum allocation. List endpoint demand individually and check the combined allocation before assigning the powered connections.
WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L provides two 1G SFP uplinks and two dedicated Gigabit copper uplinks. The fiber and copper interfaces are separate rather than shared combo connections. Specify the intended uplink medium and compatible transceivers with the order; a requirement for 10G optical connections exceeds this configuration's fixed uplink speed.
No, WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L does not support hardware stacking. The fanless configuration must not be ordered as a stack extension merely because other Catalyst 2960-X models accept stacking hardware. Confirm the exact replacement requirement before ordering, and treat centralized management as separate from a shared hardware forwarding stack.
WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L uses one fixed internal AC supply with 100-240V AC input. Its maximum input rating is 160 VA, distinct from the 34.8W measurement at full traffic. Use the input rating for facility planning and keep powered-endpoint allocation separate when checking the installation's electrical requirements.
WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L provides 110W of endpoint power, while the discontinued WS-C2960X-24PS-L provides 370W. The difference matters when matching legacy spare orders to existing endpoint allocations. The lower-budget configuration suits limited powered loads; the higher-budget model addresses legacy requirements exceeding that allocation, subject to its discontinued status.
WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L includes LAN Base, whereas the discontinued WS-C2960X-24TS-LL includes LAN Lite. LAN Lite cannot be upgraded to LAN Base, so the image requirement must be settled before ordering. Retained LAN Base configurations call for the former; legacy installations requiring LAN Lite should be matched to that feature level.
C9200CX-12P-2X2G-E provides two 10G SFP+ uplinks, while WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L has 1G optical uplinks. The replacement also has 12 access ports instead of 24. The older model fits exact legacy spare requirements; the replacement fits refresh orders requiring faster optical uplinks when its lower access-port count meets the installation requirement.
