CISCO WS-C2960-24LT-L

CATALYST 2960 24 10/100 (8 POE)

The Cisco® Catalyst® 2960 Series Switches with Power over Ethernet (PoE) are new members of the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series of fixed-configuration standalone switches for entry-level enterprise, midmarket, and small branch office networks. This series include two Cisco Catalyst 2960 PoE Switches and one Cisco Catalyst 2960 Powered Device (PD) switch, which receives power through a PoE input port from an upstream PoE device.
The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series with PoE allows connectivity to Ethernet powered devices including Cisco IP phones, wireless access points and video cameras. Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series with PoE models support Cisco pre-standard PoE and are IEEE 802.3af-compliant. 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.

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. Table 1 provides brief descriptions of the new switches.
