## Long description

The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches are fixed-configuration Layer 2 access switches designed for entry-level enterprise, midmarket, and branch office networks. These switches deliver Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 15.4 W per port, enhanced troubleshooting, and centralized management for multiple devices. The Cisco Borderless Network Architecture and Cisco Network Access features provide mobility, security, EnergyWise power management, and simplified operations for a consistent workspace experience.
Advantages
The switches offer improved operational efficiency with a wide range of software features, enhanced security for business operations, measurable sustainability through Cisco EnergyWise, and a simplified management model that supports single IP address management for up to 16 switches. They include advanced troubleshooting tools such as link connectivity and cable diagnostics and come with a limited lifetime hardware warranty.
Key specifications
 Layer: Layer 2 fixed-configuration access switches
 Connectivity: Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports
 Power over Ethernet (PoE): up to 15.4 W per port (Fast Ethernet PoE)
 Management: single IP address management for up to 16 switches
