Chapter 1 Product Overview
Features
The Catalyst 2960-8TC-L, Catalyst 2960G-8TC-L, and Catalyst 2960PD-8TT-L switches are smaller
than the other Catalyst 2960 switches. They can be mounted with a magnet, have security lock slots, and
do not have a fan. See
Chapter 3, “Switch Installation (8-Port Switches),” for more information.
The Catalyst 2960-24PC-L and Catalyst 2960-24LT-L PoE switches comply with Cisco prestandard PoE
and IEEE 802.3af.
The switches support these SFP modules:
• 1000BASE-CWDM
• 1000BASE-BX
• 1000BASE-LX/LH
• 1000BASE-SX
• 1000BASE-T
• 1000BASE-ZX
• 100BASE-BX
• 100BASE-FX
• 100BASE-LX
The Catalyst 2960-24TC-S and Catalyst 2960-48TC-S switches support only 1000BASE-LX/LH,
1000BASE-SX, and 100BASE-FX SFP modules.
For specific information about which SFP modules are supported on specific switches, see the Cisco
Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Modules Compatibility Matrix at this Cisco.com URL:

OL_6981.html
The 1000BASE-T SFP modules can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s in full-duplex mode or at
10
or 100 Mb/s in half-duplex mode when you install them in Catalyst 2960 switches. The 10/100 and
10/100/1000 ports autonegotiate speed and support full-duplex or half-duplex mode.
