The Cisco Catalyst Compact Switches easily expand your Catalyst switching infrastructure outside the wiring closet to enable workspaces, extend wireless LANs, and connect PoE devices. These fan-less, small form-factor switches are ideal for space-constrained deployments where multiple cable runs would be challenging.
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-CX compact switches help optimize network deployments. These Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) managed switches are ideal for high-speed data connectivity, Wi-Fi backhaul, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity in places where space is at a premium. With a single copper or fiber cable from the wiring closet, Catalyst compact switches enable IP connectivity for devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras, PCs, and video endpoints.
With their quiet, fanless design and compact footprint, these switches offer flexible mounting options and open up a variety of network design and connectivity options. Use them in offices, classrooms, hotels, retail stores, and other enterprise and branch locations. The setup allows for shorter cable runs from the compact switches, allowing for flexibility in space redesign and growth as the devices join the network - this eliminating the need for expensive and inflexible cabling infrastructure.

• 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports with line rate forwarding performance
• Gigabit copper, small form factor pluggable (SFP)
• Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) support with up to 240W of PoE budget
• Fanless design and silent operation
