WS-C2960L-48TS-LL is a fanless, managed access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The 1U Catalyst 2960-L chassis provides data-only connectivity for branch offices and small or medium-sized businesses; connected endpoints need separate power because this model does not deliver PoE. LAN Lite supplies the base feature set, with Layer 2+ capabilities covering static routing and RIP. Fiber connections use built-in uplink cages rather than an expansion bay. The discontinued WS-C2960L-48PS-LL differs by adding PoE+ for powered endpoints. This configuration retains copper access density without allocating an endpoint power budget, so the purchase specification should separate access switching, endpoint power and upstream routing requirements.
WS-C2960L-48TS-LL price for new stock is $1,452.15, a 53.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $3,115.00. WS-C2960L-48TS-LL refurb price is $183.75. WS-C2960L-48TS-LL is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

104 Gbps switching capacity carries the copper access and built-in uplink traffic. LACP aggregates Ethernet links, while UDLD detects and disables one-way fiber connections. A maximum of 256 active VLANs bounds simultaneous segmentation, and local ACL policy supports IPv4 and IPv6 controls. WS-C2960L-48TS-LL uses 512 MB DRAM for running software and 256 MB flash for image storage. Static routing and RIP provide basic routed connectivity; EIGRP is not supported. Hardware data-plane stacking is absent, even when switches are grouped for management. At 100% traffic, 33.6W consumption supplies an operating-load figure for electrical planning rather than a power-supply rating.
WS-C2960L-48TS-LL is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units; both conditions have 30-day returns, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition, PSU status and clean boot; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the required condition and quantity on the purchase order. For enterprise or volume procurement, ORM accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and provides RMA with advance replacement.

In a multi-site small-to-medium business environment, the WS-C2960L-48TS-LL Catalyst 2960L 48-port GigE, 4 × 1G SFP (LAN Lite) functions as the primary edge switch, aggregating desktops, VoIP phones and wireless APs. Four fiber uplinks deliver resilient uplink paths to the WAN router, while Cisco IOS LAN Lite simplifies VLAN configuration, QoS and link aggregation. Outcome: sub-€5 k TCO, 99.99% network uptime and scalable 1 Gbps access for up to 48 devices.
Deployed as a 1U top-of-rack switch in a small data center, the WS-C2960L-48TS-LL aggregates virtualization hosts, storage arrays and backup appliances over 48 GigE ports. Four dedicated 1G SFP uplinks to the distribution layer support LACP-bonded 80 Gbps backhaul, while LAN Lite features deliver basic ACLs and PoE-aware connectivity monitoring. Outcome: high-density port aggregation, predictable bandwidth scaling and streamlined switch management within a tight budget.
In a university or corporate campus, the Catalyst 2960L-48TS-LL is deployed on each floor to enforce departmental VLANs for finance, HR, faculty and guest networks. GigE access ports isolate traffic per role, while 1G SFP uplinks maintain redundant paths to the core. Outcome: consistent policy enforcement, improved security posture, simplified IOS-based configuration and rapid fault isolation with minimal operational overhead.
When a replacement must reproduce an existing security configuration, ACL scale needs validation before deployment. The switch permits 384 MAC/IPv4 ACEs and 256 IPv6 ACEs, and one ACE can consume two TCAM entries. Include the intended policy in staging tests and specify configuration validation before the PO.
When an installed WS-C2960L-48TS-LL estate needs regional replacement stock, procurement must identify where spares and returns will be handled. ORM provides regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA. Specify the destination region, required condition and replacement quantity before submitting the PO.
Power delivery to Ethernet endpoints
The access ports provide data only, without PoE output. For a current 48-port replacement requiring endpoint power and 1G fiber uplinks, consider C1300-48P-4G.
10G fiber uplinks to distribution
The four fixed SFP uplinks operate at 1G, not 10G. C1300-48T-4X provides a current alternative with 48 Gigabit access ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks.
Hardware data-plane stacking
Catalyst 2960-L switches are not hardware-stackable. Management grouping does not provide dedicated stack links or turn separate switches into a shared hardware forwarding system.
Cisco support after October 2026
Cisco support for this model ends October 31, 2026. A replacement purchase should follow the discontinued intermediate model forward to C1300-48T-4G rather than extend the legacy installation.

WS-C2960L identifies the Catalyst 2960-L family, 48 indicates 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, T denotes data ports, S denotes four 1G SFP uplinks, and LL indicates LAN Lite. WS-C2960L-48TS-LL is therefore the data-only configuration rather than a PoE+ or fixed 10G-uplink variant.
The Catalyst 2960-L supports Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI through SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 and USB mini-B console access, Bluetooth access and SNMP. Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center and Network Plug and Play provide network-level management with separate licenses; Bluetooth access requires an external USB dongle.
Yes, WS-C2960L-48TS-LL reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022. Existing service entitlement does not extend the last support date, so procurement needs to distinguish replacement stock from a longer-term migration purchase.
New sealed and certified refurbished WS-C2960L-48TS-LL units carry ORM coverage: new, up to a 3-year extended warranty; refurbished, up to 1 year; 30-day returns on both, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty has original-owner eligibility and a five-year discontinuance limit; Cisco support ends October 31, 2026.
WS-C2960L-48TS-LL includes permanent LAN Lite; optional Cisco DNA Essentials was offered in 3-, 5- and 7-year terms, with a 3-year minimum. LAN Lite cannot be changed on this hardware. Add-on expiration leaves base capabilities available after deactivating the add-on and reloading, without making the base license a subscription.
WS-C2960L-48PS-LL supplies PoE+ with a 370W budget, whereas WS-C2960L-48TS-LL supplies data connectivity without endpoint power. Both models are discontinued. Within existing installations, the TS model serves separately powered equipment, while the PS model serves endpoints requiring power through Ethernet.
WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL provides four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas WS-C2960L-48TS-LL provides four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. Both are discontinued, with the same 48 Gigabit Ethernet access-port count. The TS configuration fits existing 1G uplink connections; the TQ configuration fits existing 10G distribution connections.
C1300-48T-4G is the current endpoint of the replacement chain for discontinued WS-C2960L-48TS-LL, through discontinued C1000-48T-4G-L. Both endpoint models provide 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 1G SFP uplinks. Existing-equipment continuity favors the older PID; a new-generation replacement purchase specifies C1300-48T-4G.
The Catalyst 2960-L provides static routing and RIP for IPv4 and IPv6 within LAN Lite, placing this configuration in the Layer 2+ category. EIGRP is not supported. Routing is disabled by default, so a routed deployment requires explicit interface addressing and routing configuration before commissioning.
No, the Catalyst 2960-L cannot form a hardware switch stack. Virtual grouping is a management capability rather than a dedicated stacking connection or shared hardware forwarding system. Each unit remains an individual switch, so a purchase requiring physical data-plane stacking must use a different product.
