Cisco WS-C2960C-8TC-L enterprise networking (router/Catalyst switch/UCS families) Datacentre Switch

The Cisco WS-C2960C-8TC-L is a Catalyst 2960-C Series compact switch with eight 10/100 Fast Ethernet access ports and two dual-purpose uplink ports that can run as either 10/100/1000 copper or Gigabit SFP, running the LAN Base software feature set. The 2960-C’s defining feature is its small footprint and fanless, silent operation, designed to mount under a desk, inside a lectern or in other space-constrained locations outside a traditional wiring closet, rather than to match the port density of a rack-mount access switch. LAN Base provides standard Layer 2 switching with basic QoS and security features, in line with the rest of the Catalyst 2960 family. It suits small branch, classroom or meeting-room deployments needing a handful of wired drops without running cable back to a central switch, and remains a straightforward, low-maintenance access switch for that role. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Cisco components to support ongoing network maintenance.
