Equipped with 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 1G SFP uplink ports, this switch offers robust connectivity options suitable for large deployments. Each Ethernet port is Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) enabled, allowing it to deliver up to 30W per port for connected devices such as IP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points. With a total PoE budget of 740W, the switch efficiently supports a wide range of network devices without the need for additional power sources.

Delivering a switching capacity of 216 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 107.1 million packets per second (Mpps), the 2960X-48FPS-L ensures smooth data transfer and high performance, even under heavy network loads. It offers extensive Layer 2 capabilities along with limited Layer 3 routing for enhanced control over traffic flows, making it suitable for a variety of enterprise network configurations. Features like VLAN support, Spanning Tree Protocols (STP), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) enable flexibility, scalability, and redundancy, ensuring network resilience.

Built with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic prioritization features, this switch optimizes performance for critical applications such as voice, video, and data. The Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48FPS-L also includes essential security features like Port Security, DHCP Snooping, BPDU Guard, and TACACS+ authentication to protect against unauthorized access and network disruptions.

With Cisco’s EnergyWise technology, the switch provides energy management capabilities, reducing overall power consumption and enhancing energy efficiency. This device supports stacking through Cisco FlexStack-Plus (optional module required), allowing for simplified management of multiple switches in a single logical unit.

Ideal for enterprise environments that require high performance, scalability, and security, the Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48FPS-L is an excellent choice for organizations looking to enhance their network’s reliability and efficiency.
