Wiring Closet Access with Fixed 1G Fiber Uplinks

WS-C2960X-24TS-L is a managed Cisco IOS LAN Base access switch with 24 10/100/1000 RJ-45 downlinks and four fixed 1G SFP uplink slots. The Layer 3 Catalyst 2960X-24TS-L chassis uses a 1U rack form factor, internal AC input and non-PoE copper access ports for data-only edge closets where endpoint power is supplied elsewhere. In the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series Switches lineup, the 24-port Gigabit access switch also keeps the FlexStack-Plus and FlexStack-Extended slot available for back-panel stacking rather than using a fixed standalone LAN Lite build. Catalyst 2960X-24PS-L is the closest PoE sibling, adding 370W PoE+ on 24 Gigabit ports while keeping four 1G SFP uplinks.

WS-C2960X-24TS-L price for new stock is $414.75, a 89.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $3,937.00. WS-C2960X-24TS-L refurb price is $204.75. WS-C2960X-24TS-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

WS-C2960X-24TS-L Use Case

Access Closet Endpoint Aggregation

WS-C2960X-24TS-L sits at the campus or branch access layer and terminates copper runs from desktops, printers, locally powered phones, and room devices on 24 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports. Engineers assign VLANs, 802.1X controls, QoS markings, storm control, and STP settings at the closet, then forward northbound traffic through four 1G SFP uplinks. LAN Base places policy and monitoring on a familiar Cisco IOS access platform. The network gains a compact Layer 2 edge for unpowered endpoints with predictable fiber handoff to distribution.

Access to Distribution Fiber Handoff

The switch occupies a wiring closet where access VLANs leave the copper edge through four 1G SFP uplinks toward distribution. Network teams pair WS-C2960X-24TS-L with approved Cisco SFP optics, build trunks or EtherChannel links, and keep endpoint ports separate from uplink media selection. The 24-port data-only design fits closets that need Gigabit desktop access without PoE budgets. Traffic moves from access switches into routed distribution blocks through a defined fiber boundary, which reduces copper distance limits and keeps aggregation design consistent across repeated closets.

Stacked Access Block Operations

Multiple Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base switches form a FlexStack-Plus access block when a closet needs more than 24 copper ports under one management plane. WS-C2960X-24TS-L joins compatible 2960-X members through the optional stack module, shares a single Cisco IOS operating view, and preserves four 1G SFP uplinks per unit for planned northbound capacity. Engineers standardize stack cabling, software image, VLAN database, and uplink roles before adding members. The operations team gains denser access switching with fewer management touchpoints and cleaner maintenance procedures.

Best For

Installed Base Refresh

A site standardizing from WS-C2960S-24TS-L or WS-C2960S-F24TS-L can keep the same 24-port data edge role while moving to a Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base replacement. Specify the fixed four 1G SFP uplink model and check the 31 October 2027 support boundary before staging spares.

Stack Extension

A wiring closet that already runs 2960-X LAN Base can add members only when C2960X-STACK and a CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M or CAB-STK-E-3M cable are included. Match software level across the stack, and keep mixed 2960-S or 2960-SF designs to four members.

Data-Only Rollout

A multi-site refresh with data-only endpoints can standardize on 24 Gigabit access ports, four 1G SFP uplinks and 37W power consumption per unit. Include optics separately for fiber handoffs, and reserve PWR-RPS2300 with CAB-RPS2300-E= only where external backup power is required.

Not Suitable If

PoE-powered endpoints

WS-C2960X-24TS-L has non-PoE access ports; use C9200L-24P-4G for the current 24-port PoE+ path, or size a separate midspan if the access switch must stay data-only.

10G fiber uplinks

Four fixed uplinks run at 1G SFP; use C9200L-24T-4X for the current 24-port data-only SFP+ path when distribution requires 10G uplinks.

Internal PSU redundancy

The 2960-X chassis has one fixed internal supply and redundancy only through PWR-RPS2300; choose a platform with dual internal power supply bays if the rack standard requires internal PSU redundancy.

EIGRP Stub or VRRP

LAN Base cannot be upgraded to IP Lite on 2960-X hardware; stop if the standard requires EIGRP Stub or VRRP on this access switch.

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

ORM offers WS-C2960X-24TS-L in new sealed and certified refurbished condition. Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage is bounded by the 31 October 2027 last date of support; ORM offers up to 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns.

Does WS-C2960X-24TS-L support PoE?

No, WS-C2960X-24TS-L is a non-PoE model with 24 10/100/1000 data ports. Buyers needing the same generation with 24 PoE+ ports and four 1G SFP uplinks would look at WS-C2960X-24PS-L, which is itself end of sale.

How many uplinks does WS-C2960X-24TS-L have?

WS-C2960X-24TS-L has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The uplinks are built into the switch rather than supplied through a removable uplink module, so optics must match the SFP cages and be ordered separately for fiber handoffs. The access ports remain copper Gigabit Ethernet.

Can WS-C2960X-24TS-L stack with other switches?

Yes, WS-C2960X-24TS-L supports stacking through the rear FlexStack slot. FlexStack-Plus uses C2960X-STACK with CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M or CAB-STK-E-3M and supports eight 2960-X LAN Base members at 80 Gbps; mixed 2960-X with 2960-S or 2960-SF LAN Base stacks are limited to four members and 40 Gbps.

Which licenses apply to WS-C2960X-24TS-L?

WS-C2960X-24TS-L uses the LAN Base feature set, and that feature level is tied to the hardware. Cisco DNA Essentials add-ons for 24-port 2960-X switches include C2960X-DNA-E-24=, C2960X-DNA-E-24-3Y and C2960X-DNA-E-24-5Y for DNA Center features, DNS-AS and Full Flexible NetFlow.

What older switches did WS-C2960X-24TS-L replace?

WS-C2960X-24TS-L replaced WS-C2960S-24TS-L and WS-C2960S-F24TS-L in the Catalyst 2960-S and 2960-SF end-of-sale migration. Those older models reached end of sale on 6 November 2015 and last date of support on 30 November 2020.

What routing protocols does Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base support?

Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base supports Static, RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF for Routed Access, OSPFv3, PBR, PIM-SM, PIM-DM, PIM Sparse-Dense Mode and SSM. EIGRP Stub, HSRP and VRRP are part of the 2960-XR IP Lite feature set rather than 2960-X LAN Base.

What is the difference between WS-C2960X-24TS-L and WS-C2960X-24PS-L?

WS-C2960X-24PS-L adds 370W PoE+ on 24 Gigabit access ports, while WS-C2960X-24TS-L is data-only with the same four 1G SFP uplink class. The PoE model fits powered endpoints; the data-only model fits access closets where phones and access points receive power elsewhere.

What is the difference between WS-C2960X-24TS-L and WS-C2960X-24TS-LL?

WS-C2960X-24TS-L carries LAN Base with four 1G SFP uplinks and optional FlexStack, while WS-C2960X-24TS-LL carries LAN Lite with two 1G SFP uplinks and no FlexStack option. The LAN Base model suits stacked closets; the LAN Lite model suits standalone Layer 2 access.

What is the difference between WS-C2960X-24TS-L and C9200L-24T-4G?

C9200L-24T-4G is the named replacement for WS-C2960X-24TS-L after the 2960-X end-of-sale milestone. Choose the Catalyst 9200L path for a current 24-port data-only Base Switch; keep 2960-X only for installed-base sparing through the remaining support window.

Is WS-C2960X-24TS-L a rack-mount switch?

Yes, WS-C2960X-24TS-L is a 1U 19-inch rack-mount switch. The chassis is 45 mm high, 445 mm wide and 279 mm deep, and the spare rack-mount kit PID for this family is RCKMNT-1RU-2KX=.
