Features and Benefits

Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches with LAN Base software provide:
● Exceptional performance: Today’s workers run multiple resource-intensive applications, placing higher
demands on networks than ever before. Within the space of just a few minutes, for example, a single worker
might join an online multimedia conference, send a 10-MB spreadsheet to meeting participants, broadcast a
marketing video for the team to evaluate, and query a sales application for the latest real-time data. The Cisco
Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series support speeds of up to 1000 Mbps to the desktop, providing the bandwidth
you need to meet rigorous application demands, alleviate bottlenecks, and boost application performance—
enhancing the productivity of your employees while increasing the return on your existing infrastructure and
application investments.
● Cisco FlexStack stacking: Cisco FlexStack stacking, available on the Catalyst 2960-S switches, provides
true stacking. With a hot-swappable module and Cisco IOS Software, all switches in a stack act as a single
switch unit. The Cisco FlexStack provides a unified data plane, unified configuration, and single IP address
management for a group of switches. The advantages of true stacking are lower total cost of ownership
through simplified management and higher availability. You can manage the entire stack as a single unit and
preserve the availability of your network. If any switch fails, the rest of the network continues to operate. A
stack module can be added to any Catalyst 2960-S switch with LAN Base software to quickly upgrade the
switch to make it stack capable. The switch added to the stack will upgrade to the correct Cisco IOS Software
version and transparently become a stack member. Figure 3 shows the FlexStack stacking module for the
Catalyst 2960-S.

Note: Disclaimer: All power consumption numbers were measured under controlled laboratory conditions and are
provided as an estimate.
The wattage rating on the power supply does not represent actual power draw. It indicates the maximum power draw
possible by the power supply. This rating can be used for facility capacity planning. For PoE switches, cooling
requirements are smaller than the actual power consumption, as a significant portion of PoE loads is dissipated in the
endpoints.
Non-PoE Power Consumption
100 Percent Throughput Switch Power Consumption

These numbers indicate the power consumed by a typical switch under normal conditions. Normal conditions signify
a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, atmospheric pressure in the range of 860 to 1060 mbar, and relative humidity of
between 30 and 75 percent. Typically, such power draws are seen only when encountering a 100 percent traffic load
made up entirely of 64-byte packets on the switch and the uplinks.
5 Percent Throughput Switch Power Consumption

These numbers indicate the power consumed by a typical switch under normal conditions. Normal conditions signify
