Description

The Cisco Catalyst 2960X‑48LPD‑L is a high‑performance managed Ethernet access switch designed for enterprise and SMB networks requiring robust PoE support, flexible uplinks, and reliable Layer 2 services. It comes with 48 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ‑45 ports with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) support and a total power budget of 370 W, providing ample power for IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other PoE‑powered devices without the need for additional injectors or midspans.

Featuring the Cisco IOS LAN Base software function set, this switch supports key networking capabilities such as VLANs, QoS, security policies, Spanning Tree, and basic Layer 3 routing protocols — making it suitable as a core access layer device. The unit also includes two 10 Gbps SFP+ uplink ports for high‑speed fiber connectivity to aggregation or core switches, improving backbone bandwidth and flexibility.

With FlexStack‑Plus stacking support (up to 8 units with 80 Gbps stack bandwidth), network administrators can scale performance and simplify management across multiple switches. The steel, rack‑mountable 1U chassis ensures durable deployment in wiring closets and data centers, while extensive management options (CLI, SNMP, web‑based tools, and Cisco management platforms) deliver full control over network operations.
