Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48LPS-L Switch

About Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48LPS-L Switch

The Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48LPS-L is a next-generation enterprise-grade Layer 3 Lite Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to provide high-speed, reliable, and secure connectivity for modern business networks. With 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 SFP uplink ports, it ensures fast, stable connections for desktops, servers, IP phones, wireless access points, and other network devices.

One of the key advantages of this switch is its PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) support, which allows the switch to supply power directly to devices such as IP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points over the network cables, eliminating the need for separate power adapters. With a PoE power budget of up to 740W, it supports a wide range of network-powered devices for enterprise setups.

The 2960X-48LPS-L supports advanced Layer 3 Lite features, including static routing, RIP, and OSPF, enabling efficient routing between VLANs and subnets. Layer 2 features like VLANs, port security, Quality of Service (QoS), and Access Control Lists (ACLs) ensure secure, prioritized, and optimized traffic flow across the network.

This switch is stackable using Cisco FlexStack-Plus technology, which allows up to eight switches to operate as a single logical unit. This simplifies network management, reduces complexity, and allows organizations to scale their networks efficiently without downtime.

The 1U rack-mountable form factor and energy-efficient design make the 2960X-48LPS-L suitable for continuous 24/7 operations in corporate offices, data centers, and industrial environments. Ciscos intuitive management optionsincluding CLI, Web Interface, and SNMPensure easy configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
