The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series with PoE allows connectivity to Ethernet powered devices including Cisco IP phones, wireless access points and video cameras. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-24PC-L can support 24 simultaneous full-powered PoE ports at 15.4W. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-24LT-L has 24 10/100 Mbps ports with 8 simultaneous full-powered PoE ports at 15.4W.

Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches with LAN Base software are a family of fixed-configuration, standalone intelligent Ethernet devices with Power Over Ethernet (PoE) or non-PoE configurations that provide desktop Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling enhanced LAN services for entry-level enterprise, midmarket, and branch office networks.

The Cisco Catalyst 2960-8TT-L has eight 10/100 ports with one 10/100/1000 PoE input port. This switch does not need a power supply and receives power through the uplink from an upstream PoE switch, providing deployment flexibility and availability. It is ideal for wiring and space-constraint applications. The power adaptor (PWR-A=) and power cord are optional and may be purchased separately.

PoE eliminates the need for wall power to each PoE-enabled device and eliminates the cost for additional electrical cable and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments. PoE switches also eliminate the need for power injectors and PoE mid-spans for powering IP devices.

The Cisco Catalyst 2960-24PC-L Switch with Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a new member of the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series. The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series also offers models with LAN Lite software that provide desktop Fast Ethernet connectivity for wiring closet and small branch-office networks to provide basic LAN services. The LAN Lite Cisco IOS Software provides entry-level security, quality of service (QoS), and availability capabilities while lowering the network’s total cost of ownership.
