WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL combines fanless operation with 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks in a managed Layer 2+ switch. The full-width 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Catalyst 2960-L family and runs the enhanced Cisco IOS LAN Lite image for branch-office access. Copper ports carry data only, so connected endpoints need their own power source. The discontinued WS-C2960L-48PQ-LL adds PoE+ for powered endpoints, while this configuration serves locally powered devices. Port-based 802.1X authentication controls network admission, and access control lists apply security policies at individual interfaces. Voice VLAN support separates telephony traffic for administration. Autonegotiation selects transmission settings on copper links, while automatic MDIX adjusts transmit and receive pairs for straight-through or crossover cabling.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL price for new stock is $8,082.20, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $16,164.40. WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL refurb price is $1,428.00. WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity supports the combined access and uplink switching workload. Static routing and RIP provide basic routed connectivity, with routing disabled until explicitly enabled. The static configuration limit is 16 routes including the default route, and static routing requires Cisco IOS 15.2(5)E2 or later. WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL carries 512 MB of DRAM for system operation and 256 MB of flash for stored software. A 16000-entry MAC table accommodates learned Ethernet addresses. Cisco Catalyst 2960-L link control includes STP, RSTP, and MSTP for loop management, while LACP creates aggregated Ethernet connections between network devices. TACACS+ and RADIUS support centralized administrator authentication; encrypted SSH and SNMPv3 access require the cryptographic software image. Jumbo Ethernet frames reach 10240 bytes where connected devices use compatible frame sizes. 39.36W consumption at 100% traffic with 10G uplinks provides a full-load operating case for power planning. The single fixed internal AC supply has no second internal PSU bay.

In a distributed enterprise with 20 branch offices, IT teams require reliable gigabit access with redundant uplinks to the WAN core. Deploying the WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL Catalyst 2960L 48 port GigE, 4×10G SFP+, LAN Lite switch at each site provides 48 high-performance GigE ports plus four 10Gb SFP+ uplinks, enabling seamless integration with SD-WAN and MPLS backhaul. Outcome: Accelerated branch provisioning, 30% reduction in deployment time, and 25% lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
A university computer lab with over 200 workstations demands robust access and network segmentation for multiple research departments. Integrating the WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL Catalyst 2960L 48 port GigE, 4×10G SFP+, LAN Lite switch ensures 48 dedicated GigE connections and four 10Gb uplinks to the campus core, supporting per-department VLANs and high throughput. Outcome: Enhanced network performance by 40%, simplified VLAN management, and improved IT operational efficiency.
A small service provider’s micro data center hosts 20 physical servers requiring low-latency connectivity and scalable uplinks. Deploying the WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL Catalyst 2960L 48 port GigE, 4×10G SFP+, LAN Lite switch as a top-of-rack aggregator delivers consistent 1Gb access with high-speed 10Gb uplinks to the spine layer. Outcome: Reduced inter-server latency by 15%, improved throughput, and cost-effective rack-level scalability under a LAN Lite feature set.
When multiple locations need consistent installation hardware, RCKMNT-1RU-2KX is the compatible mounting kit for this model. Treat mounting components as an explicit order requirement rather than assuming identical accessory contents across conditions. Specify the kit and confirm the required mounting hardware before issuing the purchase order.
When consolidation brings several workgroups onto one switch, the distinction between 256 active VLANs and 4094 available VLAN IDs matters. An identifier range does not increase the simultaneous active-VLAN limit. Count the VLANs required by the intended configuration and confirm that count before approving the hardware order.
When lab staging must establish local access before network management is configured, CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 provides the RJ-45 console connection and CAB-CONSOLE-USB provides the USB console connection. Match the cable to the staging workstation and intended connection method. Specify the selected cable PID with the switch before releasing the purchase order.
PoE-powered phones or access points
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL has no PoE output. C1300-48P-4X is the current PoE alternative in the replacement chain, retaining 48 Gigabit access ports and four 10G uplinks.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
Cisco support for WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL ends October 31, 2026. C1300-48T-4X is the current successor; intermediate C1000-48T-4X-L reached end of sale April 30, 2025.
Dual internal power supplies
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL has one fixed internal power supply without a second supply bay. Internal power redundancy requires a different switch architecture, not an additional PSU for this chassis.

Easy deployment with scalable LAN Lite capabilities.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL identifies the Catalyst 2960-L family, 48 Ethernet access ports, a non-PoE Gigabit configuration denoted by T, four 10G SFP+ uplinks denoted by Q, and LAN Lite software denoted by LL. The copper access interfaces support 10/100/1000 Ethernet, rather than 10G copper endpoint connections.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL supports Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, RJ-45 or USB console CLI, SSH, Telnet, SNMP, and external USB Bluetooth access. Centralized options include Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center, and Cisco Network Plug and Play. Centralized functions require separate licenses; encrypted SSH and SNMPv3 require the cryptographic image.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL uses LAN Lite base capabilities with Cisco DNA Essentials term-based add-ons for centralized management. Add-on terms are three, five, or seven years, with C2960L-DNA-E-48-3Y representing the three-year option. Smart Accounts manage licensing. After expiration, renew the add-on or deactivate it and reload to continue base operation.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL reached end of sale October 31, 2021, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. Its original replacement, C1000-48T-4X-L, reached end of sale April 30, 2025. The replacement chain continues to current C1300-48T-4X, so legacy replenishment and migration purchases should be treated separately.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL is offered new sealed or certified refurbished. ORM warranties are up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units; returns are 30 days for every condition, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers eligible original owners only through October 31, 2026.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL supports static routing and RIP under LAN Lite, with a 16-static-route configuration limit including the default route. IP routing is disabled initially and must be enabled before routed forwarding is used. Static routing requires Cisco IOS 15.2(5)E2 or later; size the configuration against its route limit.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL uses four fixed 10G SFP+ uplink ports, so a removable uplink card is not required. Copper access connections remain Gigabit Ethernet. Specify compatible optics for the intended fiber links and verify transceiver compatibility before finalizing the switch and uplink components on the purchase order.
No, WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL has a single fixed internal AC power supply and no second internal PSU bay. The input range is 110-220V AC. An additional plug-in supply cannot turn this chassis into a dual-supply configuration; establish the internal power redundancy requirement before selecting the hardware.
RCKMNT-1RU-2KX fits the Catalyst 2960-L 48-port chassis and is also compatible with the family's 24-port models. WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL measures 445 mm wide, 240 mm deep, and 44 mm high, with a weight of 3.03 kg. Confirm mounting hardware contents separately when specifying the order condition.
WS-C2960L-48PQ-LL supplies PoE+ with a shared 370W budget, whereas WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL has no PoE output. Both models are discontinued. For legacy replacement requirements, the data-only model serves locally powered endpoints, while the PoE+ model supplies endpoint power that must be allocated within its shared budget.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL has four 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas WS-C2960L-48TS-LL has four 1G SFP uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The 10G version serves legacy installations requiring faster upstream connections; the 1G version matches replacement requirements where existing uplink connections and compatible optics operate at Gigabit speed.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL is discontinued with Cisco support ending October 31, 2026, while C1300-48T-4X is the current endpoint of its replacement chain. The intervening C1000-48T-4X-L is also discontinued. The older switch addresses like-for-like legacy replenishment; C1300-48T-4X is the migration choice when retaining a current product is required.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL supports 802.1X authentication, port-based access control lists, TACACS+, RADIUS, and IP Source Guard. These features control endpoint admission, interface security policy, and administrator authentication. SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 require the cryptographic software image, so confirm that image when encrypted management access is part of the requirement.
Catalyst 2960-L supports STP, RSTP, MSTP, and per-VLAN rapid spanning tree for loop control, together with LACP and PAgP for Ethernet link aggregation. These functions operate on Ethernet connections between network devices. Match the spanning-tree mode and aggregation protocol to the connected equipment when preparing the configuration.
