Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series 24-Ports 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet Layer 3 Rack-mountable Managed Network Switch with 2-Ports SFP+ – WS-C2960X-24TD-L

Cisco Catalyst 2960-X WS-C2960X-24TD-L Managed Switch

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960X-24TD-L is a managed rack-mountable switch that combines 24 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports with two SFP+ interfaces for flexible network expansion. This configuration gives access-layer installations a substantial group of standard gigabit connections while preserving dedicated ports for fiber or higher-speed uplinks. Layer 3 capability adds useful room for network segmentation and routed design, making the switch relevant to business access networks, branch infrastructure, campus wiring closets, and equipment rooms that need more than basic Layer 2 connectivity. Its Catalyst 2960-X platform and clear port count also make it a practical candidate for structured replacement and network refresh planning.
