This datasheet provides the technical overview for the Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960X-24TD-L and its relevant high-speed variants, specifically curated for the infrastructure requirements of SKYRS in Pakistan.
The 2960-X “TD” series represents the high-performance tier of the Catalyst family, designed for sites that require 10-Gigabit fiber uplinks and high-density Gigabit copper access.
Cisco WS-C2960X-24TD-L Technical Overview
The WS-C2960X-24TD-L is an enterprise-class, stackable Gigabit Ethernet switch. It is a “Data-only” model (non-PoE), making it ideal for high-speed workstation connectivity and server-farm access where power over Ethernet is not required.
Core Specifications
Downlink Ports: 24 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet Gigabit ports.
Uplink Interfaces: 2 x 10G SFP+ (10 Gigabit Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus).
Forwarding Performance: 95.2 Mpps (Million packets per second).
Switching Capacity: 216 Gbps (Full duplex).
Stacking: Supports FlexStack-Plus (up to 8 switches, 80 Gbps bandwidth).
Software: Cisco IOS LAN Base.
Hardware: Dual-core 600 MHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, 128 MB Flash.
Comparative Variants for SKYRS
While the 24TD-L is the 10G standard for data-only sites, SKYRS utilizes several variants to address different power and port density needs across Pakistan.

Deployment and Installation Guide
For SKYRS infrastructure, following standardized installation protocols ensures maximum uptime and hardware protection in local environments.
Physical Installation
Rack Mounting: Secure the switch in a 19-inch rack using the provided brackets. For the 24TD-L, ensure 1U of vertical space.
Uplink Connectivity: Use original Cisco SFP-10G-SR or SFP-10G-LR modules for the 10G ports to connect to the SKYRS core network.
Thermal Management: The 24TD-L uses variable-speed fans. Ensure side-to-rear airflow is not obstructed by cables or other rack equipment.
Power Redundancy: Use the rear RPS connector to link with a Cisco RPS 2300 for power failover protection.
Stacking Deployment
Install the C2960X-STACK module in the rear slot.
Connect switches using CAB-STK-E cables.
A single “Master” switch will manage the configuration for all 24-port members in the SKYRS stack.

The WS-C2960X-24TD-L throughput limit ensures a forwarding rate of 95.2 Mpps for smooth data flow. While this model is non-PoE, it maintains an efficient WS-C2960X-24TD-L PoE power budget of zero. Users can easily install it using the original WS-C2960X-24TD-L rack mount kit for standard cabinets. For enhanced performance, Skyrs offers the official WS-C2960X-24TD-L memory upgrade and WS-C2960X-24TD-L security license activation.
The WS-C2960X-24TD-L all variants outperform competitors like Mikrotik, H3C, Aruba, Ruijie, Huawei, and Palo Alto. While Aruba 2930F is a strong competitor, Cisco provides better integration for high-end routing Cisco equipment. Cisco’s proprietary FlexStack-Plus technology allows for simpler management than most H3C or Mikrotik alternatives. Consequently, Cisco migration remains the preferred choice for growing Pakistani software houses and call centers.
