The Cisco WS-C2950ST-24-LRE is a 24-port switch in the Catalyst 2950 family built specifically for Long Reach Ethernet (LRE), a Cisco technology that extends Ethernet-class data rates over existing telephone-grade copper wiring well beyond standard 100m Ethernet limits. It was aimed at multi-tenant and campus environments (hotels, dormitories, older office buildings) where running new structured cabling was impractical.
LRE deployments of this kind remain in service in some legacy multi-tenant and hospitality networks built in the 2000s, where the existing copper plant made it more economical to extend Ethernet over voice-grade wiring than to re-cable. Confirm the associated LRE customer premises equipment (CPE) and telephone company splitters are still in place before ordering, since an LRE switch is only useful as part of a complete matched deployment.
