The 2960 is an extremely popular switch for a reason. Great feature set, no fan, very solid. At this price the value is tremendous. These are an industrial strength product with all of the goodness of their big brothers in a small form factor. This model can even do basic layer 3 routing. Mine shipped with no application code loaded - so be sure to have a console cable and know how to find a good firmware on Cisco’s web site (not as easy as it sounds), and how to load it over xmodem. The IOS12.2 version is probably the one you want. The 15 version was flakey for me on this model.

One of the best things about 2960G-8TC-L is that it's fanless. It's the only enterprise class access switch Cisco makes that is. LIke a lot of network admins we prefer to run the same type or brand of equipment at home that we do at work, but, unless we have a nice insulated data closet or IDF at the house, the fan noise from even one switch or router is enough to put the kibosh on the whole idea. This little gem is perfect. It appears to work quite well as an air-cooled unit. Just don't crowd it and leave a couple of inches free space around it for airflow. It won't run advanced IP services, but it is compatible with release 15.0.2-SE9 IP BASE, which is the most recent as of this writing. I replaced one of my noisy old WS-C2950-12's with this one and I'm *very* happy with the result. In fact, I'm going to add another one to my network.Read full review

Best option for an 8-port gigabit switch with full enterprise-level IOS access. None of this small-business web gui/no-console crud
