WS-C2960-48TT-L provides managed Layer 2 access switching through 48 Fast Ethernet RJ-45 ports and two fixed Gigabit copper uplinks. The full-width 1U chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series and ships with the LAN Base software image. Its non-PoE configuration connects endpoints that receive power separately, rather than supplying power through their network cables. This 48-port Fast Ethernet access switch serves existing office networks retaining 10/100 endpoint connections. The discontinued WS-C2960-48PST-L differs by supplying PoE on its access ports; that distinction requires different hardware rather than a software change. The copper-only uplink arrangement also fixes the physical connection choice when specifying a replacement chassis.
WS-C2960-48TT-L price for new stock is $501.90, a 82.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $2,850.00. WS-C2960-48TT-L refurb price is $110.88. WS-C2960-48TT-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

16 Gbps switching capacity establishes the switching fabric available for aggregate traffic. 10.1 Mpps forwarding at 64-byte packets provides a separate packet-processing limit when assessing small-packet workloads. The address table accommodates 8000 MAC entries for learned endpoint addresses. WS-C2960-48TT-L uses 64 MB of DRAM and 32 MB of flash for its operating software and stored configuration. LAN Base supports traffic shaping and policing, while rate limiting works in increments as small as 1 Mbps for bandwidth allocation. Spanning Tree Protocol enhancements provide Layer 2 loop-control functions alongside traffic prioritization. Administrators can configure the chassis through the CLI, browser-based Express Setup or Cisco Network Assistant, with SNMP-based tools supporting centralized administration. SmartPorts interfaces provide configuration assistance within Cisco Network Assistant. 45W maximum power consumption sets the electrical load to reserve for each unit before allocating rack power.
WS-C2960-48TT-L is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with new units carrying up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty and certified refurbished units carrying up to 1 year; returns are available for 30 days on every condition, and terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, rated-speed links on every port and a clean boot, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify this switch's condition and quantity on the PO before ordering. ORM Systems accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, and covers UK, EU, US and MEA stock and RMA requirements for enterprise and volume orders.

In a retail branch deploying 45 POS terminals and staff desktops, the WS-C2960-48TT-L Catalyst 2960 48 10/100 + 2 1000BT LAN Base Image switch provides 48 10/100 access ports and two gigabit uplinks. This enables VLAN segmentation for POS, guest Wi-Fi, and corporate traffic. Benefit: reduces hardware count by 40%, simplifies network segmentation, and accelerates branch rollout with plug-and-play LAN Base features.
In a manufacturing plant onboarding 30+ IoT sensors and controllers, the WS-C2960-48TT-L Catalyst 2960 48 10/100 + 2 1000BT LAN Base Image switch leverages 802.1X port-based authentication to enforce device-level access control. Benefit: isolates IoT traffic, ensures compliance with security policies (NIST, ISO), and cuts manual provisioning time by 60%.
In a corporate office rolling out 40 analog phones and 20 IP phones, the WS-C2960-48TT-L Catalyst 2960 48 10/100 + 2 1000BT LAN Base Image switch delivers QoS prioritization on 10/100 access ports and two gigabit uplinks to UC servers. Benefit: guarantees consistent voice quality, consolidates voice/data on a single switch, and reduces CAPEX by leveraging built-in LAN Base capabilities.
When a staging bench must reproduce an existing network's frame settings, Gigabit-port bridging supports a 9000-byte MTU and a maximum 9018-byte Ethernet frame. That allowance belongs to the Gigabit interfaces rather than every access connection. Specify the intended frame size and test-port selection before ordering laboratory or staging units.
When multiple sites need the same endpoint admission rules, 802.1x authentication and DHCP snooping provide distinct controls for identity and address assignment. Those functions require deliberate configuration rather than an unmanaged installation. Define the authentication policy, trusted DHCP connections and required configuration baseline before submitting a multi-site hardware PO.
When an existing office closet is being replenished, acoustic planning matters because this model produces 40 dBA under the stated 25°C ambient measurement. Replacement hardware should be assessed against the installation location rather than treated as a silent desktop device. Check the room's noise expectations before adding replacement quantities to the PO.
Gigabit access for connected endpoints
WS-C2960-48TT-L access connections stop at 100 Mbps. C1300-48T-4G provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, preserving port density while increasing endpoint link speed.
Power for connected endpoints
WS-C2960-48TT-L does not supply PoE. C1300-48P-4G provides 48 Gigabit PoE access ports; specify endpoint power requirements separately when selecting that powered alternative.
Direct fiber uplink connections
WS-C2960-48TT-L has copper uplinks without SFP cages. C1300-48T-4G provides four 1G SFP uplinks, so direct fiber connectivity requires a different chassis rather than additional optics.

WS-C2960-48TT-L identifies a Catalyst 2960 switch with 48 Fast Ethernet access ports, two copper Gigabit uplinks and the LAN Base image. WS-C2960 identifies the family, 48 identifies the access-port count, TT corresponds to the copper-uplink configuration, and L identifies LAN Base. The chassis is a fixed-configuration 1U model.
The Catalyst 2960 series is managed through the CLI, browser-based Express Setup, Cisco Network Assistant and SNMP-based tools, including CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution. Cisco Network Assistant also exposes SmartPorts configuration interfaces. These provide configuration and monitoring paths for managed hardware; specify the administrative method and configuration baseline before releasing staged units.
Yes, WS-C2960-48TT-L is discontinued: Cisco end of sale was October 31, 2014, and support ended October 31, 2019. Its first replacement, WS-C2960+48TC-L, is also discontinued, as is the subsequent C1000-48T-4G-L. The forward replacement chain ends at C1300-48T-4G, which provides 48 Gigabit access ports and four 1G SFP uplinks.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960-48TT-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original limited lifetime warranty and service ended October 31, 2019.
LAN Base is the installed software image on WS-C2960-48TT-L, rather than LAN Lite. The L-suffix configuration therefore starts with LAN Base switching services. Selecting a differently imaged replacement changes the software configuration even when the copper port layout matches, so specify LAN Base explicitly when requesting a hardware substitution.
No, WS-C2960-48TT-L has two fixed copper Gigabit uplinks and no SFP cages for fiber transceivers. Optical modules cannot be installed directly in this chassis. A purchase intended to terminate fiber should therefore use hardware with optical uplink interfaces rather than adding transceivers to an order for this copper-only model.
No, WS-C2960-48TT-L is a standalone switch rather than a hardware-stack member. Cisco Network Assistant provides management functions but does not create a shared forwarding stack between these chassis. Expansion orders should treat each unit as a separate switch and specify its own configuration and network connections accordingly.
WS-C2960-48TT-L uses an internal 100-240V AC supply, with 45W maximum power consumption. External backup connects through PWR-RPS2300 using CAB-RPS2300=. PWR-RPS2300 is supplied without a power supply and accepts C3K-PWR-750WAC=. This external arrangement does not provide a second internal PSU bay, so the backup equipment is separate from the switch chassis.
The WS-C2960-48TT-L Catalyst 2960 model occupies 1U and measures 44 mm high, 445 mm wide and 236 mm deep, with a weight of 3.6 kg. RCKMNT-1RU= is the spare rack-mount kit. Confirm mounting-hardware inclusion separately when specifying a replacement unit rather than assuming brackets accompany every condition.
WS-C2960-48PST-L supplies PoE on its 48 Fast Ethernet access ports, while WS-C2960-48TT-L does not supply endpoint power. Both models are discontinued. WS-C2960-48TT-L matches independently powered endpoint installations; the powered sibling represents a different replacement requirement where the existing access switch supplies power through network cables.
WS-C2960-48TT-L carries the LAN Base image, whereas WS-C2960-48TT-S carries LAN Lite. Both have 48 Fast Ethernet access ports and two copper Gigabit uplinks, and both are discontinued. A LAN Base replacement requirement points to the L model; an existing LAN Lite software baseline distinguishes the S model.
C1300-48T-4G provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, while WS-C2960-48TT-L provides 48 Fast Ethernet access ports. C1300-48T-4G is the current endpoint of the replacement chain; WS-C2960-48TT-L is discontinued. The older model matches an existing 10/100 replacement requirement, while the successor addresses buyers requiring Gigabit connectivity at the same access-port density.
Catalyst 2960 LAN Base supports QoS traffic shaping, policing and rate limiting in increments as small as 1 Mbps. These controls let administrators allocate bandwidth and prioritize traffic through configuration. Spanning Tree Protocol enhancements address Layer 2 loop handling separately, so bandwidth policy and topology control remain distinct configuration tasks.
