WS-C2960G-48TC-L provides managed Layer 2 Gigabit access through 44 dedicated 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and four fixed dual-purpose copper/SFP uplinks. Each uplink supports one active connector, so choosing fiber replaces the corresponding copper connection rather than adding another independent port. The 1U rack-mount Catalyst 2960G configuration includes LAN Base and delivers data connectivity without endpoint PoE. The discontinued WS-C2960G-24TC-L sibling reduces dedicated copper access to 20 ports. For medium-sized business networks, the larger configuration connects desktops and servers while leaving endpoint power to a separate source. Its fixed uplink architecture accommodates existing copper or fiber connections rather than removable uplink-card expansion, making the connector choice part of the cabling plan before installation.
WS-C2960G-48TC-L price for new stock is $88.69, a 30.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $127.89. WS-C2960G-48TC-L refurb price is $90.44. WS-C2960G-48TC-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

32 Gbps switching capacity defines the fabric available for aggregate bridged traffic, while 39 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte packets. The address-learning limit is 8000 MAC entries, which should be considered separately from the physical connection count when planning downstream devices. WS-C2960G-48TC-L carries 64 MB DRAM and 32 MB flash memory for operation and image storage. 140W maximum power consumption belongs in circuit and UPS sizing, not an endpoint power allocation. The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series supports DHCP snooping, access control lists and port security for access-policy enforcement. VLAN tagging separates logical traffic segments, while Spanning Tree Protocol handles redundant bridging paths. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 provide network-management integration. Hardware stacking is unavailable: managing several switches together does not combine their forwarding fabrics. Fan-assisted cooling requires an installation position that leaves the ventilation openings unobstructed.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960G-48TC-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to a 3-year extended term for new hardware and up to 1 year for certified refurbished hardware; Cisco's original limited lifetime hardware warranty ended July 31, 2017. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition, PSU status, fan status and clean boot, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and included accessories on the purchase order; every condition carries 30-day returns, terms apply. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs, government Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement.

When a business network adds multicast receivers, the configurable limit of 255 IGMP groups becomes a planning constraint. Keep the receiver inventory and required group count separate from the number of physical connections, and confirm the intended group configuration before specifying units on the purchase order.
When an existing segment uses jumbo frames, staging must verify the complete path rather than just link speed. The switch supports a 9000-byte MTU and 9018-byte Ethernet frames for bridging on Gigabit ports. Specify matching frame settings and test the intended links before approving the hardware order.
When an existing WS-C2960G-48TC-L estate needs local spare coverage, align purchase quantities with the UK, EU, US and MEA stock and RMA regions. Treat mounting hardware as a separate order check, and specify RCKMNT-1RU= if spare rack brackets are required on the purchase order.
PoE power for connected endpoints
WS-C2960G-48TC-L supplies no endpoint power. C9200L-48P-4G is a current 48-port PoE+ alternative; match its available power budget to the intended endpoint load before ordering.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C2960G-48TC-L limits uplinks to 1G. C9200L-48T-4X-A provides four 10G uplinks in a 48-port data-only configuration; confirm its network license against the deployment requirements.
Hardware stacking across multiple chassis
WS-C2960G-48TC-L is a standalone switch without dedicated hardware stacking ports. Centralized management does not join multiple chassis into a shared forwarding stack or shared switching fabric.

WS-C2960G identifies the Catalyst 2960 Gigabit configuration, 48 indicates 48 Ethernet connections, TC corresponds to dedicated copper ports plus dual-purpose copper/SFP uplinks, and L identifies the installed LAN Base image. WS-C2960G-48TC-L divides those connections into 44 dedicated access ports and four uplink pairs, with one active connector per pair.
Catalyst 2960G switches are managed through the web device manager and Express Setup, Cisco IOS CLI over console or Telnet, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoView, SNMP applications, and Cisco Configuration Engine. CiscoView is purchased separately; Cisco Configuration Engine automates initial configuration and subsequent configuration updates.
Yes, WS-C2960G-48TC-L reached end of sale on July 31, 2012, and Cisco support ended July 31, 2017. Software maintenance stopped July 31, 2015. The model is discontinued; purchasing another unit in any reseller condition does not restart its Cisco service lifecycle or restore Cisco support.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960G-48TC-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original limited lifetime hardware warranty ended with Cisco support on July 31, 2017.
No, WS-C2960G-48TC-L provides no PoE output on its Ethernet ports. The internal power supply operates the switch itself, not connected endpoints. Any endpoint that requires network-delivered power therefore needs a separate power arrangement; confirm that requirement before including this non-PoE model on the purchase order.
WS-C2960G-48TC-L has four fixed 1G dual-purpose uplinks, each sharing one RJ-45 connector with one SFP cage. GLC-SX-MM= supports multimode fiber, and GLC-LH-SM= supports single-mode or multimode fiber. Only one connector per pair is active, so transceiver selection must match the fiber and the far-end connection.
No, WS-C2960G-48TC-L is a standalone switch without dedicated hardware stacking ports. Cisco Network Assistant and Cisco IOS CLI can manage individual switches or switch-cluster members, but management grouping does not combine chassis into one hardware forwarding stack. Order separate units as standalone switches rather than stack members.
No, WS-C2960G-48TC-L uses a fixed internal AC supply without a second internal PSU bay. External backup uses PWR-RPS2300 with CAB-RPS2300=. PWR-RPS2300 is sold without a power supply; C3K-PWR-750WAC= is a compatible supply option. External backup must therefore be assembled separately rather than treated as an in-chassis redundancy option.
WS-C2960G-48TC-L is a Rack-Mount 1U switch measuring 44 mm high, 445 mm wide and 328 mm deep, with a weight of 5.4 kg. RCKMNT-1RU= is the spare rack-mount kit for this family. Check the rack position and unobstructed airflow before including mounting hardware in the order.
LAN Base is installed on WS-C2960G-48TC-L and identifies this PID's supplied software image. The L suffix refers to that image rather than a different copper-port count. Keep the delivered image and required configuration aligned when ordering replacements for an existing estate; selecting a hardware condition does not redefine the software tier.
Yes, WS-C2960G-48TC-L is affected by FN63744, which concerns failure to boot after a power cycle caused by degraded memory components. A running unit may appear unaffected until power is removed and reapplied; the failure can leave no console response and cannot be cleared by another reboot. Stage multiunit power cycles and plan replacement spares.
WS-C2960G-48TC-L has 44 dedicated Gigabit access ports, while WS-C2960G-24TC-L has 20. Both retain four dual-purpose Gigabit uplink connections, and both are discontinued. The larger model fits denser existing wiring closets; the smaller model fits lower connection counts where maintaining the original design is the purchase trigger.
WS-C2960G-48TC-L is discontinued and its Cisco support has ended, while C9200L-48T-4G is the current base in the replacement chain. The intervening WS-C2960S-48TS-L and WS-C2960X-48TS-L models are also discontinued. The legacy switch fits like-for-like sparing; the Catalyst 9200L base fits a new deployment requiring a current Cisco hardware family.
