Hi Laohoo,

Please suggest me only.

Actually I've already selected a switch which of model 2960-x. But all of those are have minimum 2 SFP ports and PoE which I don't need. Hope you understand.

NB: Is there any way to remove SFP port from CCW?

Thanks for your response.

There is no such 2960/G/S/X/XR model with 24- or 48-port 1 Gbps without any SFP port.  

The only "closest" model is 2960-24TT-L (Refurbished) or 2960-48TT-L (Refurbished) and these ports are only 10/100Mbps.  

The other option is to look at the Cisco SMB switches.

Hello The most common L2 series is 2960. Know a days you can choose 2960X. Notice, All new Cisco switches use Fiber Uplink and there is no copper uplink anymore . If your backbone is copper, You need a model which is compatible with GLC-T SFP module. BTW, I suggest these ones:

Cisco Catalyst 2960X-24TD-L ( 95Mpps Forwarding rate )

Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48TD-L ( 130Mpps Forwarding rate )

But if you are looking for cheaper ones without Stack option you can buy 2960-L series ( LAN Lite only and with almost a quarter of forwarding rate of X series in 24 Port model and half of it on 48 Port models ) .

Cisco also had produced 2960S series which are End-of-Sale but you might find them .

please pay extra extra extra attention about Uplink ports and compatibility with modules . Let me explain with an example : Cisco has WS-C2960S-48TD-L and 24TD-L but they both don't support GLC-T!
