Cisco Catalyst 2960X 48LPD-L Stackable Gigabit Switch
The Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48LPD-L LAN Base stackable Gigabit Ethernet switch brings enterprise-grade PoE+ access to U.S. campus and branch environments—from medical facilities in Boston to retail stores in Manhattan.
This 1 RU rack-mountable switch offers 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 RJ-45 PoE+ ports delivering up to 370 W of total PoE power, plus 2 × 10 Gbps SFP+ uplinks for high-speed fiber backhaul.
It provides 216 Gbps of full-duplex switching capacity and a wire-speed forwarding rate of 130.9 Mpps, while FlexStack-Plus stacking supports up to eight units with 80 Gbps of dedicated stack bandwidth—enabling seamless network growth across multi-floor American offices.
Fully manageable via Cisco DNA Center, CLI, Web UI, SNMP, and Bluetooth-over-the-air setup, it combines secure, energy-efficient operations with operational simplicity.
Overview
Highlights
-
Ports & Uplinks
48 × 10/100/1000 RJ-45 PoE+ + 2 × 10 Gbps SFP+ for versatile copper access and fiber uplinks. -
Power over Ethernet Plus
Up to 370 W total PoE+ budget (12 ports @ 30 W or 24 ports @ 15.4 W) with Perpetual PoE to maintain power through switch reloads. -
FlexStack-Plus Stacking
Stack up to eight switches with 80 Gbps of inter-switch bandwidth—ideal for U.S. branch offices spanning multiple floors. -
High Performance
216 Gbps full-duplex switching capacity (LAN Base) and 130.9 Mpps forwarding rate (64-byte L3 packets) for mission-critical traffic. -
Cisco IOS LAN Base Feature Set
Provides robust Layer 2 switching with industry-standard VLAN, STP/RSTP/MSTP, link aggregation, and static IPv4 routing support. -
Routing & Visibility
Supports OSPF, static routing, and RIP for routed access, plus DNS-AS and Flexible NetFlow for granular traffic analytics. -
Enterprise-Grade Security
MAC-based VLANs, 802.1X authentication, SPAN, BPDU Guard, ACLs, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection to meet stringent compliance requirements. -
Energy Efficiency & Quiet Operation
IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet and Perpetual PoE reduce power draw; acoustic noise at just 39 dB(A) typical / 43 dB(A) max keeps open-office noise to a minimum. -
Flexible Management
Manage via CLI, Web UI (Cisco Configuration Professional), SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Cisco Network Plug and Play, Cisco DNA Center, or Bluetooth-over-the-air setup.
