Cisco WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L Managed Ethernet Switch

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L is a 24-port managed Gigabit Ethernet switch with IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet and a 110 W PoE budget, engineered to power and connect PoE devices in an enterprise access layer without sacrificing control or reliability. It delivers Layer 2 switching across 24 x 10/100/1000 ports, plus 2 SFP uplinks for fiber connectivity, and provides up to 216 Gbps of switching capacity with a forwarding rate of up to 71.4 Mpps on LAN Base software for predictable performance in busy networks. Security and access control are built in with ACLs, port security, and 802.1X authentication, while management is supported via CLI, SNMP, and a Web-based interface on a rack-mountable 1U chassis powered by an internal AC supply. Common replacements include the C9200L-24P-4G, WS-C2960X-24PS-L, and WS-C3650-24PS-S, making it a compatible upgrade path for enterprise office closets, campus networks, surveillance deployments, IP phones, and wireless access points in corporate, educational, healthcare, and commercial environments.
