WS-C2960+48TC-L provides managed Layer 2+ access switching through 48 Fast Ethernet downlinks operating at 10/100 Mbps and two fixed 1G combo uplinks. Each uplink selects either its copper RJ-45 connector or its SFP cage, accommodating different cabling media without a removable uplink card. The non-PoE, rack-mount 1U configuration runs the LAN Base feature set and belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960-Plus series. Branch offices, retail locations and conventional workspaces are its intended access environments. The discontinued WS-C2960+48PST-L adds a 370W shared PoE budget, making endpoint power the principal distinction between these two legacy hardware configurations.
WS-C2960+48TC-L price for new stock is $5,299.99, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $10,599.98. WS-C2960+48TC-L refurb price is $180.78. WS-C2960+48TC-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

16 Gbps switching capacity carries traffic between the access interfaces and uplinks, while 10.1 Mpps forwarding defines performance for 64-byte packets. Static IPv4 routing supports 16 static routes, including the default route, on switched virtual interfaces; enabling routing requires the lanbase-routing template and a reload rather than converting physical ports into routed interfaces. WS-C2960+48TC-L uses 128 MB DRAM for runtime operation and 64 MB flash for local software storage. The Catalyst 2960-Plus feature set includes Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard and Port Security to control traffic admitted at the access edge. SRR scheduling and WTD congestion avoidance govern outgoing traffic, while SNMP v1, v2c and v3 connect monitoring applications to switch statistics. Local administration uses the Cisco IOS CLI or browser-based device manager, with Cisco Network Assistant and Cisco Prime Infrastructure providing additional management paths. 30.6W measured consumption at full traffic supplies a site power-planning reference, not an absolute maximum draw.
WS-C2960+48TC-L is offered new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot and optics bay recognition, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units up to 1 year, and every condition includes 30-day returns; terms apply. Specify this switch's condition, quantity and required accessories on the purchase order. Enterprise and volume POs are accepted, with Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement and regional stock/RMA handling in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a multi-floor corporate campus, the WS-C2960+48TC-L delivers 48 10/100 ports and 2 SFP uplinks to interconnect 200+ workstations, printers and VoIP phones. IT teams create VLANs per department (Finance, HR, R&D) for secure traffic separation. Outcome: simplified management via Cisco LAN Base, 30% reduction in network-related incidents and under 0.5% packet loss during peak usage.
A national retailer deploys the Catalyst 2960 Plus 48TC-L at each store to connect POS terminals, inventory PCs and in-store Wi-Fi APs. The switch enforces PCI DSS–compliant VLANs for payment traffic and a separate SSID for guests. Outcome: reliable 99.99% transaction uptime, prioritized checkout performance and simplified compliance reporting.
In a small-to-mid-sized data center, the WS-C2960+48TC-L functions as a top-of-rack switch for 24 virtualization hosts, with dual SFP uplinks to the core fabric. It delivers non-blocking performance, Cisco EnergyWise power savings and centralized monitoring via Cisco Prime. Outcome: streamlined cabling, sub-10ms inter-server latency and 20% lower power consumption.
When a retained Fast Ethernet installation needs a migration match, discontinued WS-C2960-48TC-L and WS-C2960-48TT-L both lead to this model as their replacement. Those predecessors reached end-of-sale on October 31, 2014. Confirm the existing uplink medium and saved configuration requirements before specifying replacement quantities on the purchase order.
When several branch sites require the same segmentation configuration, the LAN Base variant supports 255 active VLANs. Match each site's VLAN inventory against that ceiling before standardizing a configuration, and identify differences in endpoint addressing or link media. Specify one validated configuration and the individual site quantities before releasing the purchase order.
When a lab or staging bench needs to reproduce legacy traffic prioritization, four egress queues per port provide a concrete configuration target. Validate queue scheduling and packet markings before releasing units to sites. Include CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 for local setup and specify the required staging quantity before issuing the purchase order.
Gigabit links to every endpoint
WS-C2960+48TC-L limits access links to 10/100 Mbps. C1300-48T-4G retains 48 access ports but provides Gigabit Ethernet downlinks for endpoints requiring higher native link speed.
PoE power for connected endpoints
WS-C2960+48TC-L supplies no endpoint power. C1300-48P-4G provides a powered 48-port alternative with Gigabit access links, so the change also increases native downlink speed.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C2960+48TC-L stops at 1G on its fixed uplinks. C1300-48T-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks and 48 Gigabit access ports for a higher-speed replacement configuration.

WS-C2960+48TC-L identifies a Catalyst 2960-Plus switch: WS-C2960+ names the family, 48 specifies the Fast Ethernet access-port count, TC denotes the non-PoE configuration with two copper-or-SFP Gigabit uplinks, and L identifies LAN Base. The access ports operate at 10/100 Mbps; the uplinks connect the switch to the surrounding network at Gigabit speed.
WS-C2960+48TC-L supports a browser-based device manager, Cisco IOS CLI over the console or Telnet, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoView, SNMP management, Cisco Configuration Engine and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. SNMP v1, v2c and v3 provide monitoring integration; specify CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 when a console cable is required for initial setup.
Yes, the Catalyst 2960-Plus series, including WS-C2960+48TC-L, is discontinued; end-of-sale was October 31, 2021. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022. The last date of support and end of vulnerability/security support are October 31, 2026. Continued hardware purchasing does not extend these manufacturer support milestones.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960+48TC-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 in either condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty remains eligibility-dependent, with support ending October 31, 2026.
WS-C2960+48TC-L comes with LAN Base as its fixed Cisco IOS feature set. Catalyst 2960-Plus switches are offered as LAN Base or LAN Lite hardware variants, and LAN Lite models cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. Specify the required hardware feature level on the purchase order rather than planning a later software conversion.
WS-C2960+48TC-L replaces the discontinued WS-C2960-48TC-L and WS-C2960-48TT-L, both of which reached end-of-sale on October 31, 2014. The replacement retains a 48-port Fast Ethernet access configuration with LAN Base and offers copper-or-SFP Gigabit uplinks. Match the existing cabling medium and saved configuration before specifying this migration part.
The Catalyst 2960-Plus 48TC-L provides two 1G combo uplinks, each using either copper RJ-45 or an SFP cage rather than both simultaneously. The fixed architecture does not require a plug-in uplink card. Choose the link medium and compatible transceiver requirements before finalizing the accessories included on the order.
WS-C2960+48TC-L supports static IPv4 routing on switched virtual interfaces under LAN Base, with 16 static routes including the default route. IP routing is disabled by default; enabling the lanbase-routing template requires a reload. Physical access ports remain switched interfaces, so specify routing through VLAN interfaces rather than expecting routed physical ports.
No, the Catalyst 2960-Plus 48TC-L uses an internal AC supply, with external backup through PWR-RPS2300 rather than a second internal PSU. PWR-RPS2300 ships without a power supply; a backup order also requires C3K-PWR-750WAC= and CAB-RPS2300=. Confirm these external power-system accessories on the purchase order instead of specifying dual internal supplies.
The Catalyst 2960-Plus 48TC-L is a full-width 1U rack-mount switch measuring 44 mm high, 450 mm wide and 242 mm deep, with a weight of 3.6 kg. Confirm whether the hardware order includes mounting kit RCKMNT-1RU=, which is discontinued, and allow clearance for rear cabling and airflow.
WS-C2960+48TC-L is non-PoE, whereas the discontinued WS-C2960+48PST-L adds a 370W shared PoE budget. The nonpowered configuration serves endpoints with local power; the powered configuration serves legacy powered endpoints whose combined requirements fit that budget. Neither configuration should be selected without considering the series' remaining support window.
WS-C2960+48TC-L runs LAN Base with 255 active VLANs, while the discontinued WS-C2960+48TC-S runs LAN Lite with 64. LAN Lite hardware cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. LAN Base suits configurations requiring the larger VLAN scale; LAN Lite corresponds to basic legacy deployments where its reduced functionality and scale are sufficient.
C1300-48T-4G provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, whereas WS-C2960+48TC-L provides 48 Fast Ethernet access ports. The legacy model corresponds to retained 10/100 Mbps installations; the current successor serves buyers requiring native 1G endpoint links. C1300-48T-4G is the endpoint of the replacement chain rather than its discontinued intermediate model.
