Cisco Catalyst 2960C 8 FE PoE LAN Base | Layer 2 Access Switch — CON-L14HR-C7009

Keep essential edge devices connected with a compact Cisco access switch built for practical branch and wiring-closet deployments. The Catalyst 2960C delivers 8 Fast Ethernet PoE ports for powering phones, cameras, and other network endpoints without separate adapters, helping simplify installation and reduce cable clutter. Dual uplink connectivity gives you more options for upstream integration, whether you are connecting to an aggregation switch or segmenting traffic across access layers. LAN Base functionality supports the switching features commonly required in small to mid-size enterprise access environments, where predictable forwarding and straightforward management matter more than unnecessary complexity. This model fits environments that need reliable wired access in a small footprint, especially where space, power, and port count must be balanced carefully. It is a practical choice for organizations standardizing on Cisco switching at the edge and looking for a proven platform that supports everyday connectivity without overbuying capacity. For procurement teams, the value is clear: a purpose-built access switch that supports PoE endpoints, preserves uplink flexibility, and aligns with established Cisco infrastructure standards.
