About this product

Product Information

Ditch ancient architecture and provide business users and staff members with a network to be proud of by using the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series of intelligent Ethernet switches. With a 1.7-inch thick housing, these spanning tree protocol switches remain a versatile product. Use several different authentication methods, including Secure Shell (SSH), RADIUS, and TACACS+, so that you can remain securely connected always. These series of switches have an operational power consumption of only 22 watts, so you know these Cisco Systems won't draw much power.The Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960G-8tC-L model is a powerful standalone switch that provides desktop connectivity. Add routers to your LAN configuration along with other accessories, and this networking hub or switch will layer the protocol without any delays down the line. Take one look at the 8 switches that you can plug into along the front panel of the Catalyst switch. These ports support several different cabling types, such as Ethernet 10Base-T, 1000Base-T, and Ethernet 100Base-TX. With a MAC address size of 8,000 entries, configuring the Cisco Catalyst switch will be a fast process.These advanced series of Cisco switches provide sophisticated access control lists and superior security to the edge of the networking setup. This type of gigabit Ethernet switch has an SSL encryption algorithm that prevents anyone from accessing restricted files. These security measures, however, don't take away from the easy manageability of the 2960G-8TC module because the ports can be remotely accessed. Use HTTP, SNMP, Telnet, TFTP, SSH, RMON, or HTTPS protocols to alter any router or power uplink attached to the switch.In fact, dual-purpose uplinks provide flexibility, allowing for the use of either copper or fiber uplinks in your Catalyst series installation grid. You even have a female interface connection with an SFP or mini-GBIC connector, too. Whether you use this Cisco Catalyst switch as a base or link in an electronic chain, you'll experience SFP-based speed and power during every computation.Integrated Cisco security software ensures that the system is resilient regarding data integrity. Security is further enhanced because this WS-C2960G-8TC-L series of switches is entirely hard-wired to your system. It's not possible to connect through a wireless pathway and compromise data.Auto-configuration of specialized applications is also extremely easy using Cisco Smartports. Log into your corporate account, and you can access the 2960G-8TC-L with any PC computer in a branch office. You'll appreciate the speed with which the software and hardware operate because the system configuration takes mere moments with Cisco Network Assistant software.Whether your networks are full of multiple Catalyst switches or an extra power supply, don't worry about any heat issues because this product comes with a maximum operating temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. It also has a nearly 11-inch depth so that the vents can easily offset the warmth by releasing it from the all-metal housing. There are no fans necessary in these compact Catalyst series switches either so noise levels are always kept to a minimum.
