Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot and PoE output under load verified; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units up to a 1-year warranty, and every condition includes 30-day returns, with terms applying. For enterprise and volume orders, ORM Systems accepts POs and provides government Net-30 terms, regional stock and RMA coverage across UK, EU, US and MEA, and RMA with advance replacement.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Support deadline and migration

WS-C2960L-SM-48PS requires a migration or independent sparing plan beyond October 31, 2026, when Cisco support ends. The current successor is C1300-48P-4G; the intermediate C1000-48P-4G-L is discontinued.

Base and add-on licensing

LAN Lite supplies the base capabilities. Cisco DNA Essentials is a separate term-based add-on with a three-year minimum; expiration requires renewal or deactivation and reload to retain base operation.

Best For

Rack Inventory Refresh

When replacing an existing rack-installed unit, inventory the mounting hardware before approving the replacement order. RCKMNT-1RU-2KX is compatible with this model. Specify whether the order must include RCKMNT-1RU-2KX, rather than assuming mounting accessories will accompany the selected new sealed or certified refurbished condition.

Bench Configuration Staging

When preparing a replacement before shipment to a branch, separate configuration work from console-based diagnostic checks. CAB-CONSOLE-USB provides the USB console connection. Include CAB-CONSOLE-USB on the purchase order when the staging bench needs that connection, and identify the configuration tasks that must be completed before dispatch.

Not Suitable If

10G uplinks to distribution

The fixed uplinks operate at 1G, not 10G. C1300-48P-4X is a current migration option with 48 Gigabit PoE access ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks.

Maximum power on every port

The shared 370W budget cannot supply 30W on all 48 powered ports simultaneously. A deployment requiring every port at its maximum needs a larger aggregate PoE budget.

Cisco support beyond October 2026

Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. C1300-48P-4G is the current successor reached through the discontinued C1000-48P-4G-L replacement, retaining 48 Gigabit PoE ports and four 1G SFP uplinks.

Questions & Answers

What does WS-C2960L-SM-48PS mean?

WS-C2960L-SM-48PS identifies a Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed model: SM denotes Smart Managed, 48 identifies the access-port count, P identifies powered ports, and S distinguishes the 1G SFP-uplink configuration. The complete configuration includes LAN Lite.

How is WS-C2960L-SM-48PS managed?

WS-C2960L-SM-48PS uses an on-box web interface for configuration and management. CLI support is limited to troubleshooting and monitoring rather than full configuration.

Is WS-C2960L-SM-48PS discontinued?

WS-C2960L-SM-48PS is discontinued: end-of-sale was October 31, 2021, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. C1300-48P-4G is the current successor through the discontinued C1000-48P-4G-L replacement.

What condition and warranty does ORM Systems offer for WS-C2960L-SM-48PS?

ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-SM-48PS new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco’s Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is separate, subject to eligibility, and bounded by October 31, 2026.

How much PoE power does WS-C2960L-SM-48PS provide?

WS-C2960L-SM-48PS provides a shared 370W PoE budget, with PoE+ delivery up to 30W per powered port. Endpoint allocations must remain within the aggregate budget.

Which uplinks does the Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed configuration provide?

The WS-C2960L-SM-48PS configuration provides four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. These are built-in interfaces, not a removable uplink-module bay.

What licensing paths does the Catalyst 2960-L use?

Catalyst 2960-L uses LAN Lite base capabilities and supports a separate Cisco DNA Essentials add-on with three-, five-, or seven-year terms. Add-on expiration does not require replacing the base hardware.

What is the difference between WS-C2960L-SM-48PS and WS-C2960L-SM-48TS?

WS-C2960L-SM-48PS has powered access ports; WS-C2960L-SM-48TS is non-PoE. Both are discontinued. The powered model suits legacy endpoint-power requirements, while the non-PoE model suits externally powered endpoints.

What is the difference between WS-C2960L-SM-48PS and WS-C2960L-SM-48PQ?

WS-C2960L-SM-48PS has four 1G SFP uplinks, whereas WS-C2960L-SM-48PQ has four 10G SFP+ uplinks. Both are discontinued; the distinction matters when matching a legacy replacement to existing distribution connections.

What is the difference between WS-C2960L-SM-48PS and C1300-48P-4G?

WS-C2960L-SM-48PS is discontinued and reaches its support deadline on October 31, 2026; C1300-48P-4G is the current successor. The former addresses like-for-like legacy replacement, while the latter addresses migration to a current model.
