Cisco WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L Technical Overview

The WS-C2960X-24PSQ-L is a compact, fanless Gigabit Ethernet switch. It is specifically engineered for deployments outside the traditional wiring closet—such as under desks, in classrooms, or retail floors—where silent operation is essential.

Core Specifications

• Downlink Ports: 24 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet Gigabit ports.

• PoE Support: 8 ports support PoE (Total budget of 110W).

• Uplink Interfaces: 2 x 1G SFP and 2 x 10/100/1000BT (Copper) uplinks.

• Acoustics: 0 dB (Fanless design for silent operation).

• Forwarding Performance: 71.4 Mpps.

• Switching Capacity: 216 Gbps.

• Software: Cisco IOS LAN Base.

• Stacking: Standalone (Does not support FlexStack-Plus).

Deployment and Installation Guide

For SKYRS infrastructure, the 24PSQ-L is deployed where traditional noisy switches are impractical.

Physical Installation

1. Placement Flexibility: Due to its fanless design and shallow depth, this unit can be rack-mounted (1U), wall-mounted, or placed on a desktop.

2. Heat Dissipation: Although fanless, it requires adequate clearance. Do not stack other equipment directly on top of the switch to ensure passive airflow is maintained.

3. Cabling: Use Category 5e or Category 6 cables. For the 8 PoE ports, ensure the total power draw of connected devices (IP phones, small APs) does not exceed the 110W budget.

4. Power Management: Connect to a stable AC source. In Pakistan’s varied power conditions, SKYRS recommends an online UPS to protect the internal components.

Hardware Verification

• LED Diagnostics: Upon power-up, the SYST LED will blink green during the Power-On Self-Test (POST). Once solid green, the device is operational.

• PoE Status: The POE LED will indicate if the power budget is within limits or if a power fault has occurred on the specialized PoE ports.
