The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series Switches are fixed-configuration Gigabit Ethernet switches providing enterprise-class Layer 2 switching for campus and branch access applications. They enable reliable and secure business operations with a lower total cost of ownership through features like FlexStack (stacking up to four switches with an optional module), Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), and Cisco Catalyst SmartOperations. They support PoE (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at up to 30W per port) for powering devices like IP phones and wireless access points. Specific models exist with varying port counts (24/48) and PoE capacities (e.g., 370W or 740W total budget). They feature Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) access ports and Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplink ports, with some models supporting 10GbE uplinks. They run LAN Base or LAN Lite software and include a USB storage interface for simplified operations.
