Spravovaný switch Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960C-8TC-L L2 8x Fast Ethernet

Catalyst 2960-C compact switches extend a managed Cisco Catalyst wired switching infrastructure to remote locations using a single Ethernet cable or fiber connection. These small form-factor, fanless Fast Ethernet switches are suitable for space-constrained environments such as retail floors, classrooms, hotels, factories, or for extending wireless LANs where multiple cable runs are impractical.

Advantages

The Catalyst 2960-C supports advanced security and Cisco Borderless Network services to remote endpoints while fitting into confined spaces thanks to its attractive, compact, and fanless design. It allows you to extend a secure, intelligent managed Catalyst infrastructure with minimal cabling and provides simplified deployment and management with loop-free operation. The product is backed by an enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty.

Key specifications

• Managed L2 with web-based management, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, LLDP, IGMP
• Quality of Service (QoS) support
• Basic switching: 8 RJ-45 Ethernet ports; Console port: RS-232
• Supported media standards: 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-TX, 100BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T
• MAC address table capacity: 8,000 entries
• Access Control List (ACL) support

How to use

Install the Catalyst 2960-C in the desired remote location and connect it to the main wiring closet using a single Ethernet cable or fiber link. Use the web-based management interface or SNMP for configuration, enable required QoS and security features, and connect endpoint devices to the RJ-45 ports. Verify link and configuration via the console port if needed. Place the device where ventilation is adequate despite fanless operation.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use appropriate cabling (Ethernet or fiber) matching the supported media standards and keep firmware up to date. Configure ACLs and QoS according to your network policy, and monitor the switch via SNMP or the management interface. Ensure the installation location meets the device's thermal and mounting requirements.
