Cisco Catalyst 2960C 8 FE PoE LAN Base | Layer 2 Access Switch — CON-L14HR-N9KC9504

Keep essential endpoints connected with a compact access switch built for straightforward deployment. The Cisco Catalyst 2960C Switch 8 FE PoE, 2 x Dual Uplink, LAN Base is designed for small network edges that need powered Ethernet, predictable switching behavior, and flexible uplink connectivity without unnecessary complexity. With 8 Fast Ethernet PoE ports, this model supports devices that depend on both data and power from the same cable, including IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance endpoints. Dual uplink support gives you more options for upstream connectivity, helping you align the switch with existing access-layer designs and distribution requirements. LAN Base software keeps the feature set focused on access switching essentials, which is often the right balance for branch closets, small offices, and space-constrained installations. For teams standardizing Cisco access hardware, this switch offers a familiar operational model and a clean fit for environments where reliability and port density matter more than feature sprawl. Choose this model when you need a compact Cisco access switch that supports powered endpoints, simplifies cabling, and fits neatly into established LAN deployments.
