The Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960X-24TS-L is a high-performance 24-port PoE switch designed for businesses seeking reliable, scalable, and secure network connectivity. This Layer 2 managed switch is built to meet the demands of both small and large networks, delivering Gigabit Ethernet speeds on all 24 ports, making it ideal for connecting a wide range of devices like computers, IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras.

Equipped with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) on all 24 ports, the WS-C2960X-24TS-L provides up to 370W PoE budget, enabling you to power devices directly through the network cable. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters and simplifies cable management, particularly in environments with numerous PoE-enabled devices.

The switch offers 4x 1G SFP uplink ports for high-speed fiber optic connections, providing flexibility and scalability for expanding the network. With a switching capacity of 216 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 107.14 Mpps, the Cisco Catalyst switch ensures fast, efficient data transfer with minimal latency, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like VoIP, video conferencing, and large file transfers.

Security is a key feature of the WS-C2960X-24TS-L, supporting 802.1X port-based access control, Dynamic ARP Inspection, MAC address filtering, and Access Control Lists (ACLs). These features help protect the network from unauthorized access and malicious activity. Additionally, the switch supports VLANs, enabling network segmentation and traffic management to optimize performance.

For reliability and redundancy, the Cisco Catalyst switch supports FlexStack-Plus stacking, allowing multiple switches to be connected and managed as a single unit, simplifying network management and ensuring network uptime. The optional redundant power supply further enhances availability and ensures continuous operation in case of a power failure.

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960X-24TS-L is also designed with energy efficiency in mind, incorporating features like IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and Energy Efficient PoE, which reduce power consumption without compromising performance.

With Cisco’s advanced management capabilities, including Cisco Network Assistant, CLI, and SNMP, network administrators can easily configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the network. The switch is also compatible with Cisco Smart Install, enabling zero-touch deployment and simplified network setup.

Whether used in office environments, data centers, or branch locations, the WS-C2960X-24TS-L offers an excellent combination of performance, security, and manageability, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to build a robust and scalable network.
