The Cisco Catalyst 2960L 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ switch is a Layer 2 access device for segmenting traffic and providing power in small-to-medium-sized networks. It features 16 RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting hardware such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and office workstations. The switch has a 36 Gbit/s switching capacity and a 26.8 Mpps forwarding rate. It also includes two 1G SFP module slots for uplinks to core distribution hardware.
The 1U chassis is rack-mountable for use in server rooms or wiring closets. A fanless cooling system ensures silent operation, making the switch suitable for open-plan offices or other noise-sensitive environments. Administrators can configure the device via a web-based interface or locally through the RJ-45 console port. Traffic segmentation is managed through support for up to 4,094 VLANs and private VLAN configurations. Power consumption is 27.1 W during standard operation, excluding active Power over Ethernet loads.
Key Features:- 120 W total PoE budget distributed across 16 Gigabit ports to power connected network hardware.
- Hardware-based Quality of Service (QoS) using 8 traffic queues to prioritize latency-sensitive voice and video streams.
- Security enforcement supporting up to 384 Access Control List (ACL) rules.
- 16,000-entry MAC address table.
- Static IPv4 and IPv6 routing to handle inter-VLAN traffic without an external router.
- Jumbo frame support up to 10,240 bytes for efficient bulk data transfers.
