WS-C2960CX-8PC-L Catalyst 2960‑CX 8‑Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch (LAN Base)
The Cisco Catalyst WS‑C2960CX‑8PC‑L is a compact, fanless 8‑port Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switch that delivers enterprise‑class performance in space‑constrained deployments. Featuring full PoE+ (802.3at) support and Cisco’s LAN Base feature set, this switch powers IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras while providing secure, high‑speed network access for small offices, retail outlets, hospitality suites, and branch locations. With silent operation, an energy‑efficient footprint, and simple plug‑and‑play deployment, the 2960‑CX brings the reliability of Cisco switching to places conventional rack‑mount gear can’t reach.
Features :
Part of Cisco’s “quiet‑cool” compact family, the WS‑C2960CX‑8PC‑L combines 8 x 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE+ downlink ports with four dedicated uplinks (2 × 1 Gigabit SFP and 2 × 1 Gigabit copper) to aggregate edge devices and backhaul traffic without bottlenecks. A generous 124 W PoE budget powers endpoints directly, eliminating separate power bricks and reducing cable clutter.
Advanced Options :
Running Cisco IOS with the LAN Base image, the switch supports advanced Layer 2 capabilities—VLANs, Rapid STP, FlexStack‑Extended Stacking (via optional adapter), and comprehensive QoS—allowing administrators to segment traffic, prioritize voice/video, and harden security at the edge. Integrated USB console and Ethernet management ports streamline out‑of‑band maintenance, while Cisco EnergyWise and EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) features automatically trim power draw during low‑traffic periods.
Product Key Features
-
8 × Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports (up to 30 W each; 124 W total)
-
4 × uplink ports: 2 × 1G SFP & 2 × 1G copper combo
-
Fanless, silent operation (0 dB) for office or classroom use
-
Cisco IOS LAN Base software with advanced Layer 2 & security features

Reliability & Performance :
Engineered for continuous operation in acoustically sensitive areas, the WS‑C2960CX‑8PC‑L uses a solid‑state, fanless design and highly efficient components that keep thermals and noise to a minimum. A 16 Gbps switching capacity (41.7 Mpps forwarding) ensures wire‑speed performance on every port, while integrated surge protection and Cisco’s robust IOS software guard against outages and security threats. The generous PoE budget is backed by intelligent power management that allocates wattage dynamically, preventing overloads and maximizing uptime for critical devices. Coupled with EnergyWise monitoring and EEM (Embedded Event Manager) scripting, the switch enables predictive maintenance and proactive alerts—key for lights‑out branch deployments.
