Ports

The Cisco WS-C2960-24PC-L Ethernet Switch is equipped with 24 Ethernet ports, making it an ideal choice for small to medium-sized businesses that require a reliable and efficient network solution. These ports provide the essential connectivity for connecting devices, such as computers, printers, servers, and IP phones, to the network.

High Port Density

With 24 ports, this Cisco switch offers a high port density, allowing businesses to connect multiple devices simultaneously without the need for additional switches or complicated configurations. This eliminates the need for excessive cabling and reduces the overall cost and complexity of the network infrastructure.

Whether you have a growing business or require a network solution that can handle heavy data traffic, the 24 ports on this switch ensure that you have enough capacity to support your current needs and future growth.

Improved Network Performance

The Cisco WS-C2960-24PC-L Ethernet Switch is designed to deliver exceptional network performance. Each port on the switch supports full-duplex operation, allowing data to be transmitted and received simultaneously. This feature eliminates collisions and improves overall network efficiency.

Furthermore, this switch supports advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) and VLAN support. QoS enables you to prioritize critical applications and data traffic, ensuring that they receive the necessary bandwidth for optimal performance. VLAN support allows you to segment your network into virtual LANs, increasing security and improving network management.

Efficient Power over Ethernet (PoE)

In addition to its 24 Ethernet ports, this Cisco switch also features Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. PoE technology enables you to power devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras directly through the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies.

This feature not only simplifies installation but also reduces costs by eliminating the need for additional power outlets and cables. With PoE, you can easily deploy network devices in areas where power sources may be limited or difficult to access.

Energy Efficiency

The Cisco WS-C2960-24PC-L Ethernet Switch is designed with energy efficiency in mind. It includes Cisco EnergyWise technology, which allows you to monitor and manage the power consumption of connected devices. By optimizing power usage, you can reduce energy costs and contribute to a greener environment.

Furthermore, this switch supports the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, which automatically reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity. This feature helps minimize energy wastage and lowers overall operating costs without compromising network performance.

Easy Deployment and Management

The Cisco WS-C2960-24PC-L Ethernet Switch offers easy deployment and management capabilities, making it an ideal choice for businesses with limited IT resources. The switch supports Cisco Smart Install, a zero-touch deployment solution that simplifies initial configuration and reduces installation time.

Additionally, this switch is compatible with Cisco Network Assistant, a user-friendly management tool that provides a centralized interface for configuring and monitoring the network. With Network Assistant, you can easily manage all aspects of your network, including VLANs, QoS policies, and security settings.

In conclusion, the Cisco WS-C2960-24PC-L Ethernet Switch with its 24 ports offers high port density, improved network performance, efficient PoE capabilities, energy efficiency, and easy deployment and management. It is a reliable and cost-effective solution for businesses looking to enhance their network infrastructure and support their growing connectivity needs.
