The Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960-24PC-S is a reliable and feature-rich switch designed for medium-sized enterprise networks. This rack-mountable switch incorporates 24 Fast Ethernet (10/100) ports, providing consistent and efficient network connectivity for a variety of applications. With its managed capabilities, this switch allows network administrators to control and optimise traffic, ensuring quality of service and maintaining network performance.
In addition to the standard Fast Ethernet ports, the WS-C2960-24PC-S also features two SFP uplink ports, delivering flexibility for connecting to fibre networks or higher-speed links. The integrated PoE (Power over Ethernet) functionality on all 24 Fast Ethernet ports allows connected devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras to receive both data and power directly through the network cable, reducing infrastructure complexity and costs.
This Catalyst switch offers Layer 2 switching with advanced security, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into enterprise environments while offering protection against threats through features like 802.1x port security and Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol. Its compact 1U form factor makes it suitable for rack deployment, ensuring it fits neatly in crowded data centre environments. Additionally, this switch includes support for Cisco IOS software, a comprehensive OS that provides configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting support.
The switch offers versatile performance, capable of handling demanding enterprise workloads, and comes equipped with fanless cooling, allowing it to operate with minimal noise in quieter environments. Such flexibility, however, does not compromise its durability and resilience to handle the day-to-day workloads of even the more critical network infrastructures.
